LEAPING INTO THE VOID

Half-Heartedness – Commitment – Devotion

This week we contemplate the theme of commitment. Gene Key 29 challenges us by asking: what are you doing right now in a half-hearted way? If there is something, or some relationship like this, then valuable energy is leaking through that window.

Devotion is blind. Only a blind one would be mad enough to jump into the abyss of the human wound. But the blind one is not really blind. Their eyes are the eyes of trust – that leaps and goes on leaping because their love is returned in every situation, and it is returned magnified.

The 64 Ways, Richard Rudd

The Ecstasy of Fondness - Hafez

The Ecstatics

In this intimate and tender episode of The Ecstatics series, Richard explores the great Sufi poet Hafez through the Ecstasy of Fondness — a soft, intimate current of love, friendship and devotion that runs beneath his words. Letting Hafez’s Divan lead the way as an oracle, the contemplation moves through longing and loss, poetry and paradox, wine and heresy, human love and divine intoxication. 

Explore the world of The Ecstatics and follow the heart beyond longing, into the wild, rapturous mystery of lives given wholly to love.

The New Relationships Are Coming

The Codon Ring of Union Excerpt

In this snippet, Richard enters the mystery of human relationships, where attraction, conflict and karma become pathways into devotion. Through the Codon Ring of Union, he explores how the intimate mirrors the collective, and how the path of lovers, families and communities may carry the seeds of a new humanity. 

The Codon Rings are mysterious groupings of the Gene Keys. They are genetic families which link us collectively in different ways. The Codon Ring of Union contains the 29, 59, 4 and 7 and revolves around the theme of sacred marriage. All four of these Gene Keys concern the new role of Homo Sanctus in relationships. This Codon Ring is currently undergoing a great deal of spontaneous mutation in our DNA and is directly responsible for a huge shift in the way in which we humans relate, particularly through our sexuality and gender.
