Iam Saums – My given name is William Howard Post. That’s what the birth certificate says. I was named after my Paternal and Maternal Grandfathers William Post and Howard Saums. When I first began studying in The Fourth Way School, my fellow students began calling me Iam, which is the last 3 letters of my first name.
I would later discover the name Iam has Celtic origins, in relation with my Paternal and Maternal Grandmother’s lineages, Francis O’Day and Ruth O’Laverty. In honor of my Grandfather Howard Saums, an inspirational and remarkable man to many in his community, “Iam Saums” is the name I chose to publish articles.
The Spark
More than a decade ago, I began to observe the covert, intricate and influential nuances occurring in global society, primarily in the banking, corporate, medical, political and religious arenas. I became present to an elusive network of secret, authoritarian organizations imposing an agenda to control the nations of the world, which angered, frustrated and eventually empowered me to capture my personal insights and observations via writing.
I would send them to select friends who I felt may be open to reading them. One of them was author Elva Thompson. Her experienced observations, passion and understanding inspired me to clarify, focus and express my own. Elva’s encouragement and her intent to make a difference in this world helped to empower the genesis of Iam Saums.

Every day I meditate twice, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. I have been meditating for over 20 years in the Jain Tradition, the same Mahatma Gandhi embraced. I have also participated in Lakota Ceremony for almost 20 years.
Over the last 2 decades I have experienced how these practices have empowered my awareness, creativity, intuition and transformation. This balance creates a foundation of focus, centering and grounding of my being to become an expression of the universe.
I chose this opportunity through creativity to manifest this energy and transform myself and my experience. The content I am inspired to write and the energy beyond the words is greatly sourced by the universe.
Creative Dynamics
We are all multidimensional beings composed of a body, mind, heart, intuition and soul. Yet, humanity primarily exists in the duality of instinct and intellect. This is how social reality is designed and imposed, thus preventing us from relating with our heart, soul and the universe.
Our collective universality was fractured and lost ages ago during a great energetic schism. Identifying, establishing and sustaining our balance with the multi-dimensionality of our being inspires us to relate with our soul and be a creative expression of the universe. For each of us, it is both unique and vital. Not only for our destiny, yet also for how we make the greatest difference by empowering each other with who we are being.
“I am is a declaration of being.”
