Background
I was invited to be an Agent here at Rumor Mill News partly because the ionic silver my company makes is so advanced and beneficial (a large ad runs on RMN) that the owner of RMN wrote a post with a personal testimonial that encouraged readers to help me in my work financially as they’re able. Another reason they support my work is they know I’ve turned down millions from potential investors predicting hundreds of millions in value for the ionic silver because I’ll only work with investors who care more about the good we’re doing for people than the money, which led to my becoming a force of nature in influencing the acceleration of using large wealth in a conscious way. And even further, management encouraged me to share “uplifting” thoughts and information with the readers since almost every talk we had resulted in their telling me “Post that!” Well, here we are doing all of that as I can make the time.
The username I chose as an Agent, “Being_In_Awe,” sums up much of what I hope to uplift people with.
How do we move? We don’t know!
On Saturday mornings I attend an online class with a Taoist teacher on chi gong and related practices. This past Saturday, a fellow student who has been at this for a while (and often tries to sound like the smartest person there) made a comment. “When it comes to opening and closing the joints to free up blocked energy and facilitate energy flow, we don’t know how we do that. With muscles, we know how they work. Muscled contract. They can’t push, they can only contract and pull. But when it comes to opening joints, how do we do that? We don’t know!”
Sounds pretty profound and advanced, right?
Except for one thing.
We don’t know how we contract our muscles!
One of the things the teacher once took us through was a very intriguing and “enlightening” practice. He said, “Stand with your arms hanging loose. Now slowly, gently, turn your hands one way a bit, then the other. Now, just intend to start to turn them without actually moving them!”
Wow! What a concept. And what a mixture of physical or “energetic” sensations! The life force (what Taoists call “chi”) starts to move! With practice, you can feel it! And the practice makes one more tuned in to the link between “intending to move” and the physicality of actually moving.
For me, this is awe-inspiring! It makes me wonder about life and puts me in awe of being alive, of being in a human body with human consciousness and emotions and memories. Part of the flow of life itself!
So much makes me wonder and be in awe. Like where does that “intention” to move even come from?
Teacher presumed knowing, yet do we really?
I remember in elementary school (I’m thinking second or third grade but maybe it was fifth), the teacher pulled down a diagram from a pull-down shade. It was a large image of a salamander, and it had arrows and labels on it. “This is how it smells. This is how it hears. This is how it walks. This is how it eats.”
And I remember thinking so clearly, “You idiot! Really? You think that by pointing at parts and giving them names it means you understand what’s going on there! Even that simple salamander is a living thing with complexities and levels of activity and awareness going on that you aren’t even touching!”
To this day, that’s how I see things. We never will understand the mystery of being alive! The only thing we can do is to be in awe of it, honor it, marvel over it, and do our best to be in harmony with it!
We can’t be in harmony with it until we first perform the basic act of being in awe of it rather than carry on with the hubris of thinking we understand it because we talk with names and categories.
Encouraging the very rich to honor life
I’m working to bring humility to the very rich for increasingly using wealth to benefit humanity.
Here’s me speaking up during a webinar about using wealth and investing for what they call “impact”:

Letting go to better flow
I encourage noticing the fact that you don’t know how you move your body. Or breathe. Or anything!
Be in awe. Of life. And proceed from that. In nurturing your loved ones and for that matter allowing the force of life that animates your body and your soul move through you in a natural, unimpeded manner.
I call that “Letting go to better flow.” In fact, that was the moment I was told by an RMN administrator “Post that! We’re making you an agent!”
The more we can relax, breathe slower and in a calming way, quiet down our internal dialog, and allow the fixations of the past to dissipate in favor of the present ongoing flow of the source of life and source of our consciousness flow, the more we can be healthy and happy and creative and inspired and live a worthy life in each moment we’re here, in each moment we each have left to be here.
(And no, I don’t mean define that source of life in the way you learned to do so religiously. Yes, that’s all valid if it works for you, of course, but those words and names we use are just pointers. That real true source of life and drive to eat and sleep, and how intention to move results in moving, is beyond our understanding. Just like a fish can’t understand what it is to be in water. Those were pointers given to us. In no way does that contradict the virtue of being in awe of what’s behind it all that we can’t rationalize.)

More about the silver and my work
If you want to learn about the ionic silver that’s been called by a PhD chemist “lightyears” beyond all other silver, and about me and my work, and maybe look at financially contributing, here’s a post I wrote a few days ago on RMN (which contains links to a whole series of information if you’re curious):
