Gene Key 20

THE SACRED OM

Superficiality – Self Assurance – Presence

This week we explore Gene Key 20. Bring attention this week to your breath. Pause and take three deep breaths as often as you remember to. Presence is all about how deeply and rhythmically we are breathing.

May is our month dedicated to the art of contemplation. Wherever you are in the world – whether embracing spring’s renewal in the North or autumn’s gentle transition in the South – we invite you to join our community in deepening your practice.

The 20th Siddhi relates to the mystical nature of the octave – the transcendent note that begins, ends and links together all vibrations throughout the universe in which we live. It is also the eighth colour – the pure white containing the other seven colours, and that which also brings us back to the number zero, the blackness out of which all form arises. Above all, it is the sacred breath that unites the realms of both light and sound, allowing us to enter completely into consciousness as pure existence.

The Gene Keys, Richard Rud

The Higher Purpose of Human Suffering

What if the patterns that cause the most suffering in your life also contain the seeds of your deepest gifts?

In this exploration of the Venus Sequence, Richard Rudd examines how our emotional wounds and relationship dynamics reveal the shadow patterns that shape our lives.

Part personal insight, part philosophical inquiry, this article offers a deeper look into the relationship between suffering, consciousness and the untapped potential within human nature.
