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?
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.
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.
In this video I play with my imagination in the realms of the timeless before I incarnated in this body, choosing what my soul wanted to learn and what would serve the whole.
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.
On my inner quest I am on the Purpose Key, the last sphere of the Activation Sequence, and thought that it would be fun to imagine my four keys in this sequence as video game avatars with strengths and weaknesses related to the key.
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. He often speaks about the Sage words and lines as being like acupuncture needles, that get straight to the heart of the matter, and it felt important to look at all three of these together, and now it feels right to share them with you.
I have just completed a full year of journeying through the Gene Keys Golden Path with a small group of women from all over the world (including Lizzie) in the retreat style container Hayley Curtis calls Devoted. Lizzie and I are writing companion articles about our experiences as a way of saying goodbye to the most life changing experience either of us has ever had (besides maybe childbirth ;)).
The deeper I go on this inner journey, the more trust I am finding within myself, even when I find that my Gifts are hidden breath layers of self-doubt, beneath layers of inadequacy.
My Gifts are scary, because what if it turns out that I am not good enough to live up to these Gifts … Dynamism, Perseverance, Authority, and this 48th Gift of Resourcefulness? What if I’m just not bloody good enough?
