'I wanted to write a book that would hold us through this transition, so that we would have a handbook – a codex of our future being... ' ~ Richard

The Sage is Richard Rudd’s long-awaited ‘Gene Keys I Ching for the Future Human’, which explores 384 mythic lines of wisdom, each a tiny acupuncture point of consciousness with its own title, sutra, contemplation, oracle and personal mythos. Unlike the original Gene Keys book, there are no shadow teachings here – only a luminous codebook for the next epoch, a living field you can return to again and again as we cross this planetary threshold. Over time, its wisdom will weave into future apps, Golden Path programmes and retreats, while the full transmission is held within the book itself.

Sutra

A sutra is an ancient Indian word meaning ‘thread’ – a short, distilled fragment of wisdom that can be followed deep into contemplation.

For The Sage, Richard began each day before dawn, outside with a cup of tea, hand-writing a single sutra into a large green leather notebook his father had given him. These tiny ‘word threads’ arrived one by one over more than a year, including the very first – The Noble Tangency of Loss, written soon after his father’s death. In the book, each sutra becomes the heart of a line: a compact, poetic code that carries the feeling, myth and guidance of that particular current of consciousness.

Gene Keys & Sutras

On each graphic, the brush-stroke hexagram and the small number beneath it (for example, 5.6) show the Gene Key and specific line that this sutra is linked to, so you can immediately see where it lives in the I Ching – and, if it’s in your profile, where it lives in you.

Unlike the original Gene Keys book, The Sage has no shadow teachings. It is written as a codex for the next epoch – a handbook to help us cross the current planetary threshold with more grace.

That’s part of the process. The Gene Keys are not about rushing to answers, but about sitting with mystery. Support and guidance will be there to help you navigate.

No. The Gene Keys are a universal path of self-discovery, rooted in compassion and contemplation. People from all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome.

64.4 –The Round Table

a mission to incarnate a Higher Ideal in the heart of ordinary life

The Circle

The Hierarchy of Light is a circle
Whose circumference is everywhere,
Whose diameter is nowhere
And whose area is the single square inch of your heart.

Your Mythos: Your DNA contains the imprint of a higher pattern of consciousness than the one you currently inhabit. Such a Mythos gives you a very distinct mission in this life – to assist the incarnation of a higher ideal on earth, particularly through your circle of friends and your greater network. There is little more important in your life than to continually nourish this network of friends, which will then continue to grow and blossom. This is not about quantity, but quality – the quality of your warmth, the essence of your openness to collaborate and your genuine love of others, all combine to allow some aspect of this High Ideal* to coalesce here on earth, right in the heart of your life.
