The Gene Keys Quotes

“This human tendency to look for outer causes for our moods is the greatest addiction on our planet.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Wherever energy or money is kept in a liquid state and allowed to flow between people and organisations, prosperity is engendered. When it is frozen or amassed for too long it prevents further expansion. The same laws that apply within the human body also apply to society and economics.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“What most people don’t realise is that as a salt, DNA is a natural conductor of electricity. It is extremely sensitive to electromagnetic waves. Even a slight shift in your mood will create enough of an environmental signal to trigger a response from your DNA. Likewise a negative or a positive thought will generate a subtle electromagnetic current throughout your body that will stir your DNA into some form of biological response. Most of us are completely unaware of how our moods, thoughts, beliefs and general attitude literally mould our bodies.”

“None of this is to say that religion and science are wrong, except when they serve to obscure the hidden harmony that lies within an individual. The true meaning and purpose of life is only to be found within one’s heart — in the mystical experience of moving in perfect synchronisation with all that is”

“will also bring an end to isolated family groupings and communities by networking, both geographically and globally, to create a new model for community that is based upon giving rather than controlling. This energetic type of friendliness will also bring an end to the notion of separate communities based on the worship of an external God or authority. Through the awakening of the 37th Gift, each community will find that it holds the same core principle as all others — namely support of the earth, and empowerment and nourishment of humanity as a whole.”

“On a subtle level, even democracy encourages division. Modern political leaders can still force their way to the top — they can cheat, spin or bend the truth, manipulate and even buy their way into leadership. Until leadership demands its highest frequency, that of the 7th Siddhi of Virtue, we will never fully see the end of political division and hierarchy. The 7th Shadow cannot command true respect or loyalty because it has at its core the lust for power rather than the good of others.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“At the Shadow level of awareness change is all you really want, but true change is denied you. It is because you want to change that you cannot change. The 43rd Shadow of Deafness is what prevents you from hearing this simplest of truths. In this sense, deafness is the inability to hear what is going on inside you. Because the Shadow frequency is a field of fear created by human beings, you cannot hear the truth inside you due to the white noise generated by the sub-acoustic aura of humanity.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“You may well be wondering by now whether there is any point in going on in this exploration of the 64 Gene Keys! Well, there is and there isn’t! One thing is true to say — the more deeply your mind grasps the fact that you cannot do anything in life, the more you must begin to surrender both to your smaller, genetic nature and your greater, galactic nature. In the end, only timelessness will tell.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“The great spiritual teacher Gurdjieff stated this so simply and beautifully when he said: “In order to escape from prison, one must first understand that one is in prison.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“From the point of view of the 22nd Gene Key, every feeling, mood or thought you have is put there directly by God for you to trust in it. Trusting this process is obviously not the same as acting it out. Trust is a powerful internal process that requires great courage.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“One of the tricks of the 22nd Shadow is to con you into trying to change or fix your moods, rather than allowing them to simply pass through your system naturally. The fact is that you cannot reach higher states of consciousness without first passing through your own suffering.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Human beings are in fact a rolling wave of consciousness with no fixed identity. We are programmed to continually hit the shores of our limitations and dissolve into something else.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“The language of archetypes — which is what the 64 Gene Keys are based upon — allows us humans to look into the hidden side of our nature — to step into the perilous shamanic underworld of the collective unconscious without becoming personally identified with what we see there.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“All true Alchemy concerns the transmutation of suffering through alignment with Divine Will.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“To be awake is a grand dilemma. No matter what you say it will be misinterpreted, so in the end you simply say whatever you say and trust in the vibration underneath it.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“When your heart and being opens to sense the abundance of this energy throughout nature, you become for the first time emotionally independent.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Everything about wisdom is about being unsafe and unsecure. There is a great difference between being insecure and being unsecure. To be insecure is to be kidnapped by fear and taken on an illusory journey that promises final redemption but can never deliver it. That journey is the human journey, and it is ultimately discovered as meaningless. There are simply no solutions because there is no problem in the first place. To be unsecure on the other hand is to have embraced your urge to escape fear in every way possible. It is to realise that your body itself is not afraid to die. It is absolutely natural for your body to die. Neither is the mind really afraid to die, since the mind is just an aspect of the functioning of your body. What then is it inside us human beings that is afraid to die?”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“There is a great difference here between being a manifestation of a divine being and a manifestation of divine being. The epiphany is that there are no special exalted beings — it is the epiphany that consciousness is all there is.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“At a collective level this Gift is very powerful as it will one day unite humanity to work towards a higher goal. In some respects it is already doing this across the globe and the modern trend towards globalisation is an example of this. The future of human evolution truly lies in the ideal of service. One day, service will be at the root of all business, economics and government, as humanity realises that it really is better for all of us. The joyousness we seek as individuals is intimately tied to the joyousness of the collective, which is precisely why the 58th Gift is delighted to work so tirelessly in that direction.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“The highest frequency of the 14th Siddhi concerns Bounteousness, which is the reward for the individual who dares to break free from the trap of mediocrity. In other words, the path less travelled leads to treasure. The 8th Shadow gives you a recognisable stereotype in the world which not only makes you feel safe about who you think you are, but also makes others feel safe about who they think you are. Without this stereotypical facade, who might you be and how would others approach you? The answer is that the mainstream would look at you with a mixture of both fear and awe.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Every child has their own natural strength that emerges organically as they develop, as long as they are given the right loving environment through their parents and peers. The ultimate loving environment for a child is to be surrounded by self-assured adults. The field of openness, integrity and relaxation created by a large family or community of adults manifesting right action is the perfect natural educational base for children.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“One of the deep fears emerging from the 8th Gene Key is the fear of success. This fear is reinforced through its programming partner, the 14th Shadow of Compromise. You compromise your dreams not because you fear you will fail, but because you know that to succeed you will have to rebel against the whole of society and its expectations of you. You fear what you might become because you do not know who you are.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Competence carries within it efficiency, enthusiasm, flair and flexibility — the four keys to material success. It is efficient because it finds the quickest and simplest solutions to any obstacles along its path; it is enthusiastic because it is deeply fulfilled by what it does; it has flair because it is doing something in a manner that no one else can; and it is flexible because it can be applied to any sphere of human enterprise imaginable.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“The greatest damage done to individuals in our world is the continual programming by the low frequency collective consciousness that forces people to compromise and give up on their dreams.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“In every human being the force of desire is translated differently and projected out upon the world in a unique way. Thus some people experience it through their sexuality, others through their yearning to be rich, famous, in love or spiritually enlightened. The point is that the desire itself is pure.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“Actions made out of resentment or fear reinforce the Shadow frequency both in the world and in the individual. Indifferent acts reinforce indifference, whereas acts done in joy or service create more joy. Wherever we look into the matrix of this 9th Gene Key, it keeps pointing to the same truth — that a person without an ideal burning inside them is essentially destined to remain a follower of the crowd. However, it is important to distinguish that this is not a Gift of dreaming but of sustained activity and work towards a single powerful goal.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“All relationships give us the opportunity to heal old wounds through sustained nurturing. This is in fact the secret of a happy relationship. If you are not content in your relationships it may be because you have not nurtured yourself fully. Every relationship provides this mirror.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“The 26th Gift celebrates your ego, without self-judgement and in full awareness. When this Gift awakens, you realise that there is absolutely nothing wrong with pride. Pride is simply a low frequency word for the same energy that can be called Artfulness. When you learn how to use pride creatively, it becomes something powerful and even beautiful. The 26th Gift loves attention. It is designed to draw attention. This Gift is about the love of selling something to someone — whether a product, yourself, or a truth. The 26th Gift represents the love of marketing — of dressing something up so that others will buy into it. In order to sell a product or a truth, you have to put yourself in the limelight. You have to embrace the energy of pride and ego that lies within all humans and use it in the service of your higher purpose. The 26th Gift includes natural-born shrewdness. Through this Gift, you can use the power of your ego to deliver your message. To do so, you must fully embrace it. We have seen that ego has a negative connotation in many spiritual circles, where it is often seen as something to be conquered and transcended. Actually, nothing can be transcended through conquest. Only through absorption, acceptance and even enjoyment can the ego be transcended. This is the gift of enjoying your ego. Through the Gift of Artfulness, your ego actually becomes an art form. Out of this Gift emerges the ability to manipulate racial memory — in other words, you instinctively know how to speak the exact language of the person before you. This ability to manipulate your audience can be devastating at the lower frequencies, since it is rooted in fear and sells itself through fear. But at a higher frequency, freed from fear, the 26th Gift sells itself through love. This is heart marketing.”
― Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose

“REPRESSIVE NATURE – MANIPULATIVE The 26th Shadow can be really sneaky. When pride manifests through a repressive human nature it becomes manipulation, but not in an obvious way. This is covert manipulation. These people manipulate others by putting them down, or use guilt and shame as subtle weapons. Often these patterns are acted out unconsciously, which means that such people rarely feel accountable for their actions or the effects they have on others. The 26th Shadow uses its natural cunning to make others feel bad or inferior, behaviour patterns rooted in fear. Pride that is rooted in fear always leads to manipulation. It is a simple and lethal equation.”

“and can suddenly lash out for no apparent reason. These people also tend to manifest very inharmonious situations where natural timing is out of synchronisation and nothing seems easy, as though life were deliberately blocking one’s path.”
