My Racial Awakening
By Church Administrator, Reverend Cailen Cambeul, P.M.E., C.A.
Co-Founder of the Creativity Alliance
This is the personal and ideological journey of Reverend Cailen Cambeul—his “Awakening”—tracing the formative experiences, betrayals, and realizations that set him on the path to Creativity.
### Roots in Elizabeth: An All-White Working-Class Childhood
Born in 1969 of Scottish heritage, Reverend Cambeul’s early life unfolded in 1970’s Elizabeth, a suburb north of Adelaide, South Australia. Established as a beacon for post-war immigration, Elizabeth became a white, working-class enclave. Its residents were primarily European—largely of British origin—with some pockets from other Western European nations. The town was a patchwork of modest homes, bustling factories, and communal spaces where hard work forged strong local bonds. Diversity, as the world now knows it, existed mainly on TV screens. Encounters with people of different cultures or races were exceedingly rare.
This context shaped Reverend Cambeul’s understanding of identity and community: proud, insular, and built on the assumptions and unspoken codes of the era.
### First Encounter with “Difference”
The first time Reverend Cambeul met someone outside the familiar mold was at school, when a friend of his teacher from Hong Kong arrived. Until then, he’d never seen or spoken with anyone non-White except on television. During a classroom interaction, Cailen inadvertently offended the newcomer—not out of malice, but sheer lack of experience. Nevertheless, Cailen was chastised for his “racism.” The episode made clear how limited his exposure had been, and how quickly misunderstandings could erupt across interracial lines.
### Baptism by Fire: Service and Systemic Betrayal
As a young adult, Reverend Cambeul chose the path of a soldier, learning firsthand the stark realities of violence, loyalty, and authority. It was not on foreign soil, but in a bar in country town Australia, that one of his most defining moments came. In an unprovoked altercation, Cailen was stabbed by an Aboriginal assailant while defending himself and his fellow soldiers. Despite his injury, it was Cailen alone who faced arrest—first ignored by police, who released his attacker, and then by the military, who charged and imprisoned him for “prejudicial behavior.” The episode sent an unmistakable message: in racially charged incidents, justice was not blind; rather, it appeared selective, concerned more with optics and accusations of prejudice than right and wrong.

### Early Detachment and Growing Disillusionment
Reverend Cambeul’s childhood and early adulthood were largely marked by detachment from the world’s headline conflicts. Issues such as the strife between Jews and Palestinians, or the legacy of WWII and so-called anti-Semitism, were, to his mind, distant dramas, “foreign problems” of little relevance to ordinary Australians. His focus was on lived reality—community, survival, and fairness among one’s own.
### Violence and Betrayal: The Seeds of Awakening
Yet violence would find him throughout his youth and early adulthood. At 17 in Brisbane, Reverend Cambeul was brutally assaulted by a group of Aboriginal youths, left hospitalized with catastrophic facial injuries. The most cutting betrayal came not from the street, but from within the system: a police detective, masquerading as a doctor, tried coercing him to accuse White men—an act Cailen angrily rejected.
Such betrayals were not confined to that moment. Some years later, again in Brisbane, another unprovoked attack by Aboriginal assailants left him with serious injuries. Police, having witnessed the assault on security cameras, responded by threatening Cailen with hate crime charges if he attempted to file any complaints against the Aboriginal assailants; the crime was further compounded when he realized the system was not there to protect people like him. It was as if, to avoid accusations of racism, officialdom was content to blame and punish the victim.
### Political Persecution, Public Targeting
In 2006, Reverend Cambeul was thrust further into public controversy when the Executive Council of Australian Jewry publicly denounced him in the media. The result was a police raid, years of legal harassment from police, seized property, and Cailen’s name repeatedly listed among Australia’s leading anti-Semites—a label he had not sought, but which was weaponized against him by outside groups. He discovered firsthand the power of organized Jewry to silence dissent and punish those reluctant to conform to Jewish expectations.
### Perspective on Class, Race, and Ideology
While acknowledging the reality of class divides and their power to compound alienation, Reverend Cambeul’s worldview was shaped just as forcefully by anti-Communist conviction. For him, those advocating communism as the cure for inequality—often self-styled “Ivory Towered Champagne Socialists”—were detached meddlers who created chaos while expressing disdain for those of their own kind deemed “unfashionable failures.” In his eyes, such ideologues generated more division through their reckless experiments in the racial social order than they ever solved.
### Embracing Creativity and White Community
Repeated violence, institutional abandonment, and class contempt led Reverend Cambeul to a new understanding: neither state, nor elite, nor ideology could be trusted to protect ordinary people. Survival and dignity, he saw, required solidarity and self-respect—values found in the teachings of Ben Klassen and the Church of Creativity.
Creativity, as Cailen embraced it, offered a framework for understanding the challenges of contemporary life: it was not just about race, but the right of Whites to defend, unify, and define themselves in a world increasingly hostile to their survival. It was a creed rooted in lived reality, not the airy promises of ruling classes.
### Lessons and Reflections
– Violence, betrayal, and injustice can transform detachment into resolve and identity.
– Institutions and elites often sidestep real justice, favoring optics, power, or ideological fashion over fairness.
– Solutions to class and race issues proposed by distant intellectuals rarely serve those actually facing hardship.
– The will to survive and the courage to name our racial enemies are the beginning of genuine community and awakening.
**Reverend Cambeul’s awakening is not a product of abstract theory or secondhand ideology, but of hard-lived experience—a journey from insularity, through pain and betrayal, to a conviction in Creativity and White solidarity. For those seeking understanding or inspiration, his path offers a raw account of how one Australian was shaped into a Creator.**
