Entering the Venus Stream

And so I have begun the second stage of my Sage’s Golden Path Retreat. This is the beginning of a six-month long journey through the very heart of my Gene Keys chart. The Venus Sequence, or Venus Stream as it is also called (which I personally prefer, because it’s a very watery kind of journey … you are literally following the river of your emotions!), is the deepest part of the Gene Keys teachings. It is all about love!

2.9: Dream Arc Adventures with Special Guest Esther Vis

In this episode of CWACOC we were delighted to welcome our very good friend, Esther Vis, to join us as our special guest.
Esther, like us, has a deep passion for the Gene Keys. She is a Gene Keys Guide and has travelled her Golden Path several times. Also like us, she is currently travelling the Sage’s journey. Esther has a passion and a gift for working with the Dream Arc*, and that’s what we talk about in this episode.

The Four Pillars of Me

I have been in a deep pause for the last few weeks of simply being with all four of the Gene Keys of my Activation Sequence, as I sit in this gap … the Activation Sequence in the Sage’s Golden Path Retreat is complete, and I am patiently waiting for the Venus Stream to open.
The four Gene keys of your Activation Sequence are the pillars of you in this lifetime. If the 4 Gene keys were an epic story … what story would they tell?

The Siddhi of Wisdom

I have been contemplating my Purpose Siddhi of Wisdom for weeks now, as I rest in the gap between the Activation Sequence and the Venus stream.
I love that I get to revel in this Gene Key for weeks and months on end; it is like marinating myself in a rich, aromatic jus. The meat on the bones of this Gene Key gets more tender, and tastier, the longer I contemplate it. And let’s face it, this is my Purpose key, I’m going to be contemplating this for the rest of my life.

Tiny Transformations: How I Learned to Create More Time

When we first embarked upon DEVOTED with Hayley, she chose some Dream Arc creatures to accompany us on the journey, to support us in our inner work. One of these was the Vision creature associated with the Siddhi of Gene Key 35, the Siddhi of Boundlessness. It is the Quetzal which is really the most beautiful bird and so perfect for this Siddhi of Boundlessness. Oh, and isn’t “Boundlessness” just the most wonderful word?!!

2.8: Fractal Line Magic with Hayley Curtis

Hayley is a genius on this subject of Fractals. She brought us together; she brings so many beautiful souls together.

An Odyssey to Mine Gold

I do like the notion that my Siddhi of Wisdom (Gene Key 48) is an emanation of the earth itself! The earth has innate Wisdom; she knows when to grow and when to lie dormant. She knows when water is needed, and when fire is needed. She has her rhythms and her own resonant heartbeat. She has her times of harvest and her fallow times. She has her new spring growth and her winter die-back.

The Siddhi of Purpose

I just love the idea of my Siddhi of Wisdom being a gift from the gods. I am not a religious person, I don’t believe in just one god. But I rather like this notion of a whole pantheon of gods (or fairy godmothers, or goddesses, or fae spirits!) bestowing gifts upon me to bring to earth with me. I rather like this notion that, of all the people on earth, I am part of a special cadre chosen to bring Wisdom!

My Gift of Resourcefulness

In this essay, I am diving into my Gift of Resourcefulness itself.
When I first got my chart, over three years ago now, I thought that Resourcefulness sounded rather prosaic, not very exciting or interesting, definitely not magical or esoteric. But I have come to love this Gene Key so much. It is the deepest Gene Key, and it is my favourite.

2.7: Women with Purpose

In this episode, instead of beginning with our usual question … “Where am I now?” … we realised that, as we near the end of this time around the Activation Sequence, and since this Purpose sphere we’ve been diving into for the last month has been HUGE for us both, we really needed to dedicate this entire episode to asking, “Where are we NOW?!!”, and to discussing what it’s like to be women with purpose.

The Gift of the Purpose Sphere

Your Purpose is your root; it is your anchor into the earth and into yourself. It is the Gene Key from which the tree of your whole profile grows. It is not just a root; it is the taproot. A taproot is the primary root of a plant, that grows vertically downward. In the plant world, it is the central element or position in a line of growth or development, and that is exactly what this Purpose sphere is in the living entity that is your Gene Keys profile.

My Shadow of Inadequacy

The Gene Keys teachings tell us that we are here to learn from the challenges of our Shadows. I am working with my Purpose Gene Key as part of the The Sage’s Golden Path Retreat. My Purpose Gene Key is 48.3, and the Shadow is Inadequacy. Inadequacy is the fear of not having enough, it is the fear of not being worthy enough, and, according to Richard Rudd, it is rooted in uncertainty about the future.

The Shadow of the Purpose Sphere

When one thinks of Shadow work, “beautiful” is not always the first adjective that springs to mind! “Dark”, “scary”, “difficult”, these would have been my chosen descriptions before I came to this Gene Keys work; “something to be fixed” would also have been how I thought of my Shadows.
But in the Sage, Richard says something that entirely changed the way I thought about this Purpose Shadow … Your higher Purpose is in your beautiful ordinariness.

What Deeply Fulfils Me

What Deeply Fulfils You … It’s not a question, it’s a statement. It’s an invitation to open yourself up to this Purpose Gene Key. All of the Gene Keys in your chart play important roles in your life. If you’ve read any of my other essays or articles, you may have already realised that Gene Key 48 is my favourite Gene Key. It’s the deepest, it’s the well of Wisdom. It holds everything!! What’s not to love about that?!!

Looking at the Sage Acupuncture Points

There were some things that Richard Rudd said right at the opening of the Radiance sphere, that I came back to right at the end of that month, as I waited for the Purpose month to open.

Discovering the Truth and the Mythos of My Purpose

I am so glad that the way the Sage’s Golden Path Retreat has been structured means that now we’re in the Purpose sphere, we actually get to be here for two whole months! This Purpose sphere is huge!

So, what is “Purpose” in the Gene Keys lexicon?

The Contemplation of my Purpose Sage Line

Wizardly Words on Wednesdays: Light

I am working with my Radiance sphere right now, and I thought that this would be a really good time to do a Wizardly Words on Wednesdays post about “Light”. The Gene Keys are all about light. You will find references to light in every single Gene Key, in every single sphere. There is a Codon of Light. The whole point of the Gene Keys (if you can even use such a trite turn of phrase for something as huge and life changing as the Gene Keys are!) is to break open the light contained inside your DNA.

A Book of Heroic Mistakes

The Pathway of Breakthrough

The Pathway of Breakthrough runs across the centre of your Gene Keys chart, from your Evolution Gene Key to your Radiance Gene Key, and it is of supreme importance in the whole journey of your Golden Path, because it is the Pathway that links your outer work in the world to your inner work.
“One of the key conditions necessary for a breakthrough is an ability to dwell on our life as it is now, rather than what it has been or what it might be.”

Dedicated Focus and Embracing My Own Weakness

“Dedicated intention and focus
that embraces and works with weakness”
These are words that go along with “sincerity” as the Sage wisdom for my Evolution Gene Key of 38.1 (the Shadow of Provocation, the Gift of Perseverance, and the Siddhi of Honour).
“Dedicated intention and focus” are most definitely what my inner work is all about. I could not have continued, for so many years, to return again and again to my interior world, were I not 100% dedicated to this work.

Attitude is Everything

The concept that “attitude is everything” is woven through the whole ethos of the Gene Keys teachings; it is, in fact, woven through your entire Gene Keys chart.
And nowhere is this more apparent than in your Evolution sphere.
I have Gene Key 38.1 in my Evolution sphere; this is the Shadow of Struggle, and it is, quite frankly, a bit of a double whammy for me. You see, the whole Evolution key is all about struggle … we evolve, just like every species evolves, through struggle.

Wizardly Words on Wednesdays: Up Levelling Creativity

My beautiful friend, Meghan, did a fabulous Wizardly Words on Wednesdays post a couple of weeks ago, about “Up Levelling”. Yes, we know that “up levelling” isn’t a Gene Keys word, and you would be right in thinking that the main point of our Wizardly Words was to give you our take on, and our personal definitions of some of the words in the Gene Keys lexicon.
In so many of the Gene Keys, as you listen to Richard Rudd’s audios, you will hear him say, in one way or another, “you do this through creativity”, or “you access this gift through creativity”.

My Sweet Siddhi of Liberation

Every Gene Key is made up of three parts, three frequency bands … The Shadow, the Gift and the Siddhi. The Siddhi is the highest frequency band, and it relates to “full embodiment and spiritual realisation”. Which is pretty heady (and heavy!) stuff. The word ‘siddhi’ is from the Sanskrit meaning ‘Divine Gift’.
The Gene Keys teachings invite you to hold the Siddhi in your mind and heart as you are contemplating the Shadow of your Life’s Work, as a counterbalance, as a way of not becoming consumed by the heaviness of the Shadow.
