Richard Rudd, founder of the Gene Keys, offers a transformative perspective on humanity’s potential and the meaning behind our suffering. His insights, born from a spontaneous three-day state of transcendent consciousness, reveal that we are entering a phase of rapid global mutation, guided by a principle he calls Holographic Wholeness.

The Future Human: A Code in Your DNA

Rudd experienced a profound period of omniscience in the 1990s, where he was filled with pure light, love, and transcendent wisdom. Crucially, he was allowed to see the future human and the codes required for its emergence. He asserts that our true self is not the trauma or the doubt we carry, but pure, unimpeded love and light—our natural state.

The emergence of the future human is not dependent on politics or race; it is a mutation happening deep within our DNA. This change is a transmutational cycle for the entire species, similar to a dragonfly emerging from its underwater predatory form to become a creature of iridescent light and air. This process, which Rudd sees as spanning decades, will lead humanity into an epoch where suffering diminishes because higher codes of joy, love, and bliss are unlocked from within our genome.

Shadow Work: The Gold Mine of Holographic Wholeness

The path to this transformation begins with the shadow. Rudd teaches that every difficulty and trauma we face is not a misfortune, but a hidden gem waiting to be mined. The purpose of the Gene Keys system is to help individuals identify their specific shadow patterns (their life’s curriculum) and transmute them through contemplation.

Rudd offers a simple process: when you transmute the shadow (a low-frequency pattern like stress), it transforms into a hidden gift (like restraint), which then flowers into a Siddhi or superpower (stillness). Stillness, he clarifies, is a universal feature of higher consciousness that allows you to be in deep peace even while engaging in a busy life.

He explains that we are a holographic imprint of the universe; every star, plant, and historical memory lives inside us. The Gene Keys system uses a unique map (based on birth time and location) to decode this vast potential, providing a precise curriculum for Holographic Wholeness rather than a fixed identity. This integration of our vast, mythic self with our current life is how we fulfill our soul’s purpose and move toward the final destiny of harmony.

Transcript of the interview

Richard Rudd 0:00

I was allowed to see through the future human for three days and three nights, what its capacities were, what our capabilities will become. It's helped me understand the codes that I've given. I've been given through the gene keys. I kind of bring this very good news about humanity, especially in dark times. And yet for me, where we're going has never left me for a moment, although I'm worried also by the events in the world and the environment and the crisis that we're moving through. At a deep level, I'm not worried at all. Not even one cell of my body is uncomfortable about any of it.

Jannecke Øinæs 0:34

Could you share what you were shown and how the future human is like?

Richard Rudd 0:38

It's not like we're suddenly going to see this wonderful human emerge as we process our traumatic past from this particular cycle, then we move to merge with the future human, which is a much more elevated, transcendent human. For millennia, we have been in this cycle of fighting wars and battle and conflict and, you know, and hunger and lack, and then in a matter of hours, we're going to, it's not a matter of hours, but cosmic hours. We're going to go through a transmutational cycle, and a new human has to appear throughout the genome. It will appear in all nations, in all places, because it's appearing from inside our DNA. So it doesn't care what your political view is. It doesn't care what color your skin is. You're a human, and you're mutating from deep within your DNA. What I saw for the future is

Jannecke Øinæs 1:40

Richard Rudd, a warm welcome to the Wisdom From North show.

Richard Rudd 1:44

Thank you. It's lovely to be here.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:47

It's lovely to connect with you. Someone talked about you and said you have to interview Richard Rudd about the gene keys. And I was like, what is the gene keys? I haven't heard of that. And all of a sudden I feel like I hear about it everywhere. So it's really expanding, and it's hard for me to explain what it is. You're the founder of it, and I'm going to ask you to do that. But from my impression, it is a grand synthesis of practical wisdom, and we're all about wisdom, and wisdom from north to really understand yourself better, understand your core wounds and really your higher potential. And it has also become several books, I would say, and especially one big book that you spent seven years writing the gene keys, embracing your higher purpose. But before we go there, I know that you had a mystical experience. I think it was in 1996 where you experienced a higher state of consciousness, which I believe changed everything. And before that, you were, you know, an ordinary man wanting to work with wine or something. And then this happened. So I would love to hear about that day, how it felt like and all the details around it Sure.

Richard Rudd 3:05

Well, thank you. Well, yes, I I was going to go into my family business, which is the wine business, and very, very old wine merchants, my father, my grandfather, and now my sister and my brother are like running the company, and it's a lovely business. And anyway, so I was going to do that. It's what I wanted to do. And then, yes, I had this experience late in my 20s, and I woke up in my bed one morning, and I woke up into out of sleep into a sort of new state of consciousness. So as I awakened, I awakened, and it was a very it's always a very unusual experience you can imagine, and but it felt very familiar, and I the best way, maybe to explain it is I was filled with light, and the light had an intelligence, and there was nothing but light, but the light, and the light was love, and the light was pure and just filled with passion and life and energy and wisdom, you know, and I as why I understood many years later what wisdom really is. It's, it's not the it's not the same as knowledge. It's completely of a different plane. It's, it's a living transmission. It's a field from nature that we can enter into. And it is light. It is a part of the light of consciousness. So I experienced this, this state, for three days and three nights, and I didn't sleep, because it was very heightened. And I couldn't really, you know, I couldn't, I just couldn't do anything. I mean, I functioned. I was actually driving at the time I took, I happened to have a week where I didn't have any commitment. So I followed the light, and it took. Me on a journey for these three days and three nights throughout the UK, a mystical journey, and one in which memories came back from, from my deep past, from the memories of humanity, of of the Celtic bloodlines that I'm part of, and also, not just memories of the past, but also sound might sound strange to some of your listeners, memories of the future. And I so my my awareness was was transcendent, and I experienced this. I guess. What a word I use now is a field of omniscience, which means you can see in other dimensions. So you could, you could, as I said, I could see the future and I could see the past. But it's not seeing. It's cellular. It's very physical. It was, it was an incredibly physical experience in my body. I had to drink a lot of water because of the frequency, I assumed that this was, you know, it wasn't brought on by any drugs or anything I'd taken at all. It was just a spontaneous thing. And I assumed it would last forever, and that was it now. And so I was in this, this blissful field, and it was very natural to me, although I kind of my human mind was still a little bit present. And then at the end of those three days, I'd found my I kind of managed to get to this island that I needed to. You know, my voice, my inner voice, took me to on this journey in the off the north coast of Wales and and I was picking up fragments of this kind of past existence through memories, and I was sitting on this little island that was on a hilltop, that I was alone on this island, pretty much, I think there was one other farmer. It was, it was an empty Island, and I was sitting on the hilltop, and a fishing boat had taken me out there and dropped me for the day, and he was going to come back at the end of the day, and and this, and the state of conscious, of this heightened consciousness, it just dropped away. It's like it fell off my head, back into the earth, and vanished into the earth, and I returned to being, you know, Richard and and that was very, you know, it was beautiful and perfect and difficult, because after having had that experience of awakened, kind of illumination, I didn't know what to do for many, many years, and I struggled, and I went through the processes which are classic. Now, I know of other people who've had that experience, and I was in denial state. At one point, I was in a Messiah Complex. I thought that I was the, you know, Savior of the world, or not exactly like that, but I I kind of, you know, it ran through my ego and but that dissipated and disappeared. It's not like I did anything. This was these were internal experiences that last months, and then slowly, as I met my wife, and I started to travel the world, and I had a child, and then as that happened, some grounding came strongly back into my life, and the I began to unpack the transmission that I had received when I'd calmed down. It took sort of three or four years to just calm down properly and and get through the integration phase and the layers. And then I was, you know, I was exploring human design. That was something I had been drawn to. And so maybe I'll pause there, but that was essentially how things, you know, might, yeah, I could no longer be a wine merchant after that, although I still love wine, I have to say I'm fascinating.

Jannecke Øinæs 9:07

Do you think that that's the truth of who we are? What you experience, that that is the real us, and that the sort of when we die, perhaps that is the way we'll experience existence?

Richard Rudd 9:24

Yes, I think that is, you know, what I experienced was a kind of a big gulp of a much wider existence and and through, but I was still in a body, you know, so it was refracted through a body and the body's memories and the biology's memories and the ancestral DNA that I am part of, and the lineages and and my soul quality as well, like you know. And so yes, I, for me, it was a taste of eternity, eternal existence and and. Um, it what i've what I've learned since, what I've realized since that I was gifted, because now I with the gene keys, I bring a vision of the future human. I call it the future human. And what I realize is that I was allowed to see through the future human for three days and three nights, what the what its faculties were, what its capacities were, what our capabilities will become. And it, it's helped me understand the codes that I've given, I've been given through the gene keys and and then from that place I've I'm revealing, or it is revealed through me anyway, through my mind and and my kind of insights, what that future is going to look like for all of us. And I don't necessarily think it's it's going to be in this generation, you know it, but it's coming. And so we're moving towards that. And so I kind of turned into a bit of a profit. But actually, I didn't mean to, because I realized that's, that's where we're heading as a species, into that state of consciousness, which is magnificent. And I, and I felt so blessed, because I now feel like, like one of those flower delivery person, people or something, who goes from house to house, watching people's smiles burst open, because they bring good news. And so I kind of bring this very good news about humanity, especially in dark times where uncertain times. And yet for me, that has that where we're going has never left me for a moment. So I'm although I'm worried also by the events in the world and the environment and the crisis that we're moving through. At a deep level, I'm not worried at all. Not even one cell of my body is uncomfortable about any of it. So it puts me in an unusual position, and so I have to hold both. I have to I empathize with everyone who's suffering and worried about the direction of the planet, and yeah, I also, in my cells, know we're all going to be fine and more than fine,

Jannecke Øinæs 12:14

and that's lovely to hear, because we do hear was split, and we do hear some say we have to make this choice if we don't, etc, and we really want to go there, but I'm very curious about how it is like to be in this state, because I have never had a state like that. I've been out of my body. I've had mystical experiences, but not like that. And this human condition brings with it the traumas, the lack of self love, the resistance. And you said in another video that I felt no resistance. And I'm curious, was it like that your ego was not there, that you had self love and no negative thoughts and just yeah, that lack of resistance, that everything was just a yes,

Richard Rudd 13:08

that's absolutely it. Everything was a yes. It's an extraordinary thing to try and imagine your body with, with no fear left in it, you know, with no resistance at all in any in any cell, which means that the Pure Light of Consciousness flows through you, unimpeded, through every cell, and therefore it connects you to the intelligence of existence and and the eternity and the Timeless eternity of existence. You can't kind of put that into words, but it is our natural state. And I'm, you know, one in sort of 1000s and 1000s or 10s of 1000s of beings who who have who speak of it, and many speak of it, you know, in different ways for me, but we all have that same commonality of like we know it's the same state.

Jannecke Øinæs 14:04

It's just so good to hear that that is the real us, because it's so often we think that, no, I'm trying to love myself, but, you know, I'm just making it up. I am, maybe I am a bad person, that we start believing that, but hearing this that, no, this is not the truth of who you are. The truth of who you are is pure love that is just such a relief for me, and it just resonates in my whole body.

Richard Rudd 14:29

It's so true. And I think, you know, for me, I've been doing this teaching and writing for many years now, and the more I kind of get older the more I it comes to love. It just realized that's that, you know, I just become softer and more kind of loving, and I realize that that's that is actually where we're heading. That is all there is. And I have kind of. A very sort of diverse mind, and so I like to explore lots and lots of things, but it all comes back at the end. All of those words can just fall to nothing, because it just comes back to that love, really, and that's, that's what everyone's actually looking for.

Jannecke Øinæs 15:20

So when you were in that state, you started to feel or sense the future and the past. Yeah, what were you shown? Could you share what you were shown and how the future human is like,

Richard Rudd 15:35

Yeah, well, some of it's kind of personal to me, and some of it is more cosmic. So I'll kind of leave out the personal to me, soul journey bit, but it's, you know what I one of the things I saw is that we move through these vast epochs and cycles on this planet in Gaia, and that there have been other cycles before this one, before our living recorded history, whole other cycles that have been closed and finished and are separated by vast events, like cataclysmic events that literally reshape the whole of Earth and then reboot. We reboot on another cycle, another round, if you like, of civilization. And so that was really interesting to me. And obviously many people have have fragments of memories, because the DNA of our body holds all the memories of this whole planet, of everything that's ever happened and everyone we've ever been and every you know, every creature lives inside us, every you know, the consciousness and awareness of every creature and every plant and every stone and every mineral lives inside us. We're sort of a holographic imprint of the universe, and also the stars and the galaxies, they also live inside us. And a lot of the you know, when I studied Taoism with some very awakened Taoist masters in my 20s from China, one of the things I learned were these deep meditations where they they were connecting the seven stars of the Great of the Great Bear to seven points in the brain, right? And that the Taoists mapped the cosmology of, you know, the macrocosm into the microcosm. There are other cultures that have done that, but they're very technical, and they have these exact, you know, positions of meditations that are really powerful. And it, it was an it was an amazing to me to realize that we're a map of the cosmos, a holographic map of the cosmos, and there's nothing that's there's not inside us when we go deep and deep within. So what I saw for the future is as we, as we process our traumatic past from this particular cycle, then we move to merge with the future, with the future human, which is a much more elevated, transcendent human. So we're going to enter an epoch next that where suffering begins to diminish. We still learn from it, but it begins to diminish because higher codes that are inside us, these codes of joy, of love, even codes of bliss, you know, in gene keys we have, you know, I've named, I've given these names. There's 64 of them, and they relate to the DNA and that we have 64 codes and and so there are different names for these heightened kind of acts, sort of trajectories of consciousness inside humans. Bliss is one experience. So we're going to open up into a new epoch that we can barely imagine at the moment, and where we can't really imagine it, because we can't imagine a world without suffering. And right now, we look at the world and we just that's what we see most of us, when we look at the what's going on in the world, we see a lot of suffering and pain and war and trauma that we're still holding all of us. So we have to process that as individuals that trauma, and as we process it through through alchemy, through transformational practices that allow us to go really deep into it. It transforms into love. You know, that's, that's, it's as simple as that, like it gets transformed into into, into this field of love and awakening. So we have to go down into the shadow. And that's really, you know, where my work with Gene keys begins. It's like we begin by, okay, let's look at the shadow. Let's see what, you know, what am I carrying? What particular shadow am I. Carrying this life, what is my curriculum and what do I have to learn and transmute and from there, you know, I know that I'm heading towards my journey of awakening, but it's also easy because it's right in front of you, because you're it's whatever you're suffering now is your shadow, but yeah, understanding it at a deeper level as not misfortunate, but the opposite. In fact, a gem, you know, a diamond to be mined from the coal face of consciousness. You know that that changes the way you approach your life, and that changes the way you approach difficulties and suffering. So that's that's where Gene keys begins, really, that's where my journey begins.

Jannecke Øinæs 20:47

Hey guys, I want to jump in here to give my thanks for being part of the Wisdom From North community. Your support and engagement means the world to us. We put so much passion, so much love into these episodes. And my intention is really to be part of this great shift of consciousness, to do what I can do with this channel, to help people expand their consciousness, love themselves more, follow their purpose and shine their light. So if you haven't yet subscribed, I would love for you to do so. Thank you so much. You'll find the link somewhere here below. And now let's go back to the episode. And you did mention the year 2027 which is not far away, that the hue new human would emerge, but yet that the really new consciousness could be a generational way. So could you speak a bit to what we will see happening in 2027 Yeah.

Richard Rudd 21:49

I mean, I don't know what we're going to see happening. I really don't. I just know that it was a marker that year, and this came from human design, and the teachings of one of my mentors were who, who founded human design, and I went through that system and immersed myself in that, in the study with him, and and learned a lot from him, and then continued to transcend through that system into a new thing that became gene keys and and it doesn't mean it's any better. It just is different. And I set off in a different direction, and because my direction was guided by this transcendent consciousness that I was following. And so everything I looked at and touched, if it didn't have enough of a flavor of that I had to mutate it. And so 2027 is a kind of marker date that as a year, and at some time in that year that ra prophesied or predicted that the there was a kind of old the old human would begin to diminish, and a new cycle will begin on this planet. And there's kind of, there's great hope in that. But there's also, if you listen deeper to it, there's also you have to take it with a dose of realism, because things take time in this on this planet. So it's not like we're suddenly going to see this wonderful human emerge. It's the allegory I use is the dragonfly, and it's all over my books and the, you know, the life cycle of the dragonfly, which begins life underwater as an underwater predator creature, and lives for two or three years. And then one day, it goes through this process where it climbs up a stalk of grass out into the light, and it's never done that. It's never left the water, and then it starts to transmute, and in a matter of a few hours, it transmutes and becomes this creature of the air with resplendent, iridescent coloring and is so it moves from being an underwater predator for two or three years in two or three hours, goes through this change and becomes a completely different creature, but like the butterfly. So you can look at us and see that, like for for millennia, we have been in this cycle of fighting wars and battle and conflict, and you know all of the things you know, and hunger and lack, and we've been driven by these energies. And then in a matter of hours, we're going to it's not a matter of hours, but cosmic hours. We're going to go through a transmutational cycle. So you could say that we are in the process of climbing up that stalk of grass, and then we have to go through this quite difficult period of transmutation where we're becoming something new, and we don't really know what's going on. When that happens, I imagine that the Dragonfly is literally clinging to this stalk of grass. And if it could think it would be like, What the hell is going on to my body? My old body is dying, and the water from my old environment is actually kind of through a process of hydraulics pushing open this new creature with wings. Wings are appearing on my back. I'm suddenly from being a gray creature. I'm iridescent. I have colors that I didn't even know existed. And I have this eye that is a marvel of nature. I have an eye that sees the fractal universe. The dragonfly's eye is one of the most complex mechanisms, perceptive mechanisms of any insect, of any creature, because it's made up of tiny hexagrams. And so it sees what we can imagine as it sees the fractal universe as it flies, and what we, you know, I can imagine it's, it's processing of time is entirely different from us, you know. So it's able to when we see it, it moves incredibly quickly and is very aerodynamic as an insect anyway. So we're going to, we're going to awaken faculties that we cannot imagine, that are inside us, that are latent inside us. So 2027, is a marker for the beginning of that process. And so I don't want to like I want to give hope, but I also want to give dose of realism is that it's probably going to be many decades, many decades, as that transmutation takes place. And if you look at the process of climate change, and you know, over the course of this coming century, we're going to see probably decades of intense change, layered one after the other, where things begin to fall apart, the old creature begins to fall apart, and a new creature can begin emerging, a new kind of human and a new humanity with a new view. And it has to be global, because otherwise that next we can't we can never have that next. So it had to be a global catastrophe of some form, or a global meltdown or a global breakdown in order for the new human to appear, and the new human has to appear throughout the genome. It will appear in all nations, in all places, because it's appearing from inside our DNA. So it doesn't care what your political view is. It doesn't care what color your skin is. It's a you're a human, and you're mutating from deep within your DNA, and it's and it and it will just happen spontaneously wherever it happens. So what I imagine, and what ra predicted as well, is that, so, you know, young children will begin to appear with some of, you know, with some of these faculties, and they already are. There are hybrid models, particularly in the Autistic community, where capacities are being developed that are more than telepathic. They're a bit like the experience that I had with the omniscient field that you can tap into. And I don't know if your listeners have heard the telepathy tapes, but that's a very that offers a preview of our future consciousness as it's coming online. So I see it as a as a rolling wave of a new change, and it's really important that we don't overly focus on what's falling apart. You know, we have to, because we have to tend to each other in with care, and keep each other as safe as possible, and and and try and meet injustices and all the, all the, you know, the right things to do, that kind of we're guided to do through our loving hearts. But at the same time, if we can focus on what's emerging on the inside, then we won't lose hope, and we won't lose perspective as we move through this phase. So anyway, my whole teaching and even the future book that Well, the book that I've I've written another big book now. It's my final book. It, it, it speaks of this new eon and this new age, and what we look like with without shadow, you know, with the shadow transmuted.

Jannecke Øinæs 29:32

Wow, wow. Imagine that we're living right now in these times. I mean, it's quite incredible that I'm here, that you're here.

Richard Rudd 29:40

It is a it is a marvel. Yeah,

Jannecke Øinæs 29:44

take us back to the times where you started to integrate the experience. You started to explore human design. How was the gene keys born from this? Yeah?

Richard Rudd 29:58

Well, it was actually, I mean, it's. It's a funny thing how the universe works, right? Because sometimes the universe manages things in unexpected ways. So what happened to me is I explored deeply the human design system, and that I was very much a part of that community around the world of as it as it grew in its infancy, and it was very exciting and and at the same time, there was a part of me that felt hemmed in or little bit trapped by some of the concepts and and so as I grew within that system, and I started to teach and share and I started to mutate it and expand it. And my heart and my spirit started to stretch it, you know. And as I started to do that and and, you know, reshape it a little bit, some of the original people, not ra himself so much, but some of the original kind of community didn't like that, and I became more of an outsider, and so I felt pushed out of that community, and it was very uncomfortable, because I had this choice, like, either I stay and I toe the line and I stay With what I considered was a dogma, and but people were parroting from this one man, amazing man. Or I, if I wanted to have the freedom to explore it and express expand on it, I would have to leave. And so I took this very difficult decision, and I went to Ra and as the founder and and I told him my experience, that I was going to leave, and he and he was very compassionate, and and I returned the the rights to it that he'd gifted me, and I gave him back to him. And it was the sort of ending. And then I set off on my own direction. And, and it became the gene keys, which became an entirely different system. And when I look started to look back at what I had created and compared it to human design, I realized that what I created was something that was based on wisdom as opposed to something that was based on knowledge. And Human Design is knowledge. And ragnhit This is knowledge, this is a knowledge system. And Gene keys is a wisdom system, and it brings you into wisdom. And wisdom is a living transmission that like the one I experienced. And so it's much less strategic. And so those people that love human design, they probably love it, because it's very strategic, and it gives them very fixed parameters that are very helpful to live in an uncertain world. And Gene keys is the opposite. It embraces uncertainty. It's this there's nothing certain in life, and you're never going to find anything certain other than love, right? And so when you go deep into the soul of your being, then you unlock, you can unlock and tap that divine wisdom. And so I use the same codes as human design to tap into the wisdom field, you know, that I'd experienced. And so it became an entirely different system, but one that people into human design could also relate to in some way. And so there are many people that use both, or try and use both, which is a little bit tricky, but it can be useful. And yeah, so it then became a completely different thing. And you know, aspects of of the gene keys that it wasn't even about. You know, the gene key is just a name, right, or a brand for a stream of wisdom that started to come through me. And so I just followed that stream in lots of different colorful ways, like the dragonflies journey and and so I created explorations and retreats online, retreats out of this gene keys profile, for those of you who are listening, you can, you can get your gene keys profile, you know, from Gene keys.com and you can put in your birth time, just like human design, and you get a set of coordinates that that are a journey, right, so that they represent a journey into the field of your own wisdom, into your trauma, through your body, through a transformational process that enables that helps you, hopefully, to let go of and transform the difficulties in your actual Everyday life and and transform them into this loving energy, into this into these cities, as I call them. The cities are the like the the higher codings of our DNA. So every shadow, because I've named all the shadows. So if people are interested in gene keys, you can come in, you look, and you'll see there's this whole language of the shadow, of the different shadow patterns. Ends. But inside every shadow is a hidden gift, and inside that gift is a city is a is a divine revelation waiting. So every shadow and difficulty contains one of these city A city is a is a Sanskrit word, by the way, it sort of doesn't exist in in the English language, an equivalent, really, I guess you might say a modern one is like, it's your superpower, but that doesn't quite touch it. So it's yeah, that sort of, does that help? Help you understand it a bit? Yes.

Jannecke Øinæs 35:35

And from what I understand, there are 64 sort of facets or archetypes of consciousness? Does that mean that we'll go through them all and study them all in ourselves, that they're all inside of us, and we need to sort of work on them? Or what do we do with all these archetypes? In a way?

Richard Rudd 35:57

Well, it's yes, a facets is a good word, because it's like the facets of a diamond or a crystal. And so if this crystal has 64 facets, then you can turn it, and then the light will capture a different ray of energy of consciousness, depending on which facet the light passes through. And we're like that. So we are imprinted with different, you know, with a we're like a crystalline being. And so we're imprinted at birth with the different facets of this, of this crystal energy, of this light, you know, moving through us. And that gives us our curriculum in this life, right? So unlike human design, it doesn't I would I would never say this is who you are. I would never say that you know who you are is so deep and mysterious as a soul, as a you know it cannot be put into words or an image or anything. It's too vast. But your curriculum, your journey, that's interesting, that you know, what your soul has chosen to tackle in this life, which shadows are you here to really master, and which gifts are you here to unlock in this life, and which cities, which facets of realization might you experience? You know, that's a really interesting thing. So when you get your gene keys profile, that's what you're looking at your curriculum in this life, as though you've come to a university and you've been given like, Okay, here's the subjects I'm here to study, and I have to master them one by one. And there are exams I have to pass in my life. And if I pass them, I will transmute that shadow, that trauma, into its gift, and then eventually it will flower into its city. And then that part of my, you know, I'm done with that part of the curriculum. And then there's another part. And so when you look at your profile, what you're looking at is a journey through sequences. And so we awaken through these sequence these layers of sequences of, you know, the gene keys. Language gives us an understanding. I can give you an example, like, Do you know any of your gene keys?

Jannecke Øinæs 38:16

Just started to look into it?

Richard Rudd 38:18

You know any of your numbers?

Jannecke Øinæs 38:21

I think it was. Let's see I 52

Richard Rudd 38:26

okay, that's a love. That's a lovely one. So if you take gene key 52 the shadow is stress, the gift is restraint, as people might not think that sounds like a gift, but it is, and then the city is stillness, right? So what you see in there is that stress is hiding stillness, right? So stress is a state as a low frequency state of stillness, right? So all the shadow states are like ways in which we get caught in frequencies that we then propagate through our life. So stress is a state of frequency. It could it kind of can be caused by trauma or addiction or many different things, but essentially, it's a field of it's a frequency of energy. So if we're able to shift that frequency into another gear, into the gift, then the gift that's hidden inside it can come up. And so the gift of restraint is the ability, for instance, to really be lucid about what you say yes to and what you say no to. And it means that your life suddenly becomes really clear and really beautiful, because your restraint allows you to just say no to that, no, thank you, no, thank you, no, thank you. And then it can say yes to the things that your soul really truly wants, and that is a journey that is about changing your. Stress the frequency, you know, but it's the same energy field that's involved in the stress is the ability to say no to the stress, or No to the chemical, or No to the pattern. So you have the gift hidden in the shadow, and then as you start to unpack that gift, you begin to move into the field of stillness. You begin to experience moments of true stillness. Not that doesn't mean you stop. You know stillness is like is a universal feature of higher consciousness. So you can be a blur of activity and movement, but you can be in deep stillness on the inside deep peace. So it's a gift of finding the still point in the middle of your life. And you know, but you have to, like, dismantle the addiction to the stress pattern, and that's, that's a beautiful journey, right there. That's one facet of part of your curriculum, and there'll be many of those. And so you get to see all together. You get to see, wow, I've got all these different courses I'm here to study, you know. And maybe I've done really well with this one, but maybe this is the one I have the most difficulty with, you know, because I was never very good at that one, or whatever it is, you know. So each one fulfills a different part of our souls journey in this life. And that's what a gene keys is all about. It's a journey to help people move through layers. So it's not like human design, where you get a fixed thing, a set of parameters, and then you live by them. Is not like that at all. This is like a long journey of contemplative insight, you know. And so I teach the art of contemplation, because contemplation is what unlocks wisdom. So you contemplate the gene keys, you contemplate your gene keys. And so I've created a lot of materials for people to listen to meditations, for them to journey on exercises, all kinds of things that allow you to explore more deeply, your gene keys, your shadows, to transmute them in your everyday life. And also, sometimes we need support, so we've created a rich community of support, so that if you study the gene keys, you'll be in a community of support, because sometimes things come up that are very difficult, and we need that kind of help from each other. Yeah. So it's a it's a very loving field around the teachings,

Jannecke Øinæs 42:42

my left brain gets very curious about how it's possible that I put in my name and my birth date and where I live, and all of a sudden I get this curriculum over my life and get all These answers so quickly on online. How is that possible? Is this sort of, and is it sort of AI generated somehow? Or have you written everything down for each possible person in the world? Like, how is it possible that this text is coming out?

Richard Rudd 43:19

None of it is AI generated. It's all written intuitively, either by myself or Elijah Parker, who I work with, and and so it's, you know, we've, we've gone very deeply into the layers of each archetype, the mythic layers, and how they play out and how they express themselves and and in order to help people kind of tackle real problems in their lives. But the answer to the birth time is, and I understand as well, is that I don't know, I have a poet's mind, right? So I have them I'm a poet, so I have the mind of a poet. And I'm really interested in mythologies and things like that. So I tend to look at the universe as a theater and our lives as a kind of theater, as a drama that's playing out. And when you do that, you kind of, you use both the left brain and the right brain. But if you also look at the universe as a hologram, you know as as a, as an, as an encoded whole that has patterns within patterns and sequences and algorithms and sacred geometries and perfection in the which we see everywhere in nature. And we see it when we gaze up at the stars. And we see it in in the in the deep biology of our body. And we see all these coded patterns everywhere we look and algorithms that are running everything, not just, you know, it's not digital, but it's, it's the fractal universe. Playing out. So if you do that with space, then you have to do it with time, because space and time are intimately linked. You can't separate them. So time also must have these algorithms and patterns and codings, and you know that enables us to look at the timing of things and to find patterns within time and time and space. So if you have a good map, a good archetypal map, you can begin to decode events, the event horizon of existence. And so that's what the gene keys does, is it, and it uses astrology and human design and the information and the mapping, and it begins to decode the archetypal information. So you need to have a right brain as well as a left brain, because the right brain has to decode the archetype, the myth, the poem, the story, and the left brain has to see the number pattern and you know the crystalline grid of the timing and the sequence and the algorithm, but when you put those two together, you have like a really beautiful synthesis that enables you to unlock something that's very precise, a pattern and A code, but then also has a mythic quality and has a poetic quality that enables your emotional side to it to connect more strongly with it. So it's not just numbers, it's also narratives and stories and poems, and it's about love, ultimately, you know, and enchantment and you know, we're mythic beings, and our ancestors, you know your ancestors, as you know the Nordic people. You know, they really knew this. They had these incredible, encoded stories, you know, that kind of contained these layers and archetypes. And it's the same with all cultures, like we look at them maybe as primitive and sweet and but actually, those are the archetypes, the living archetypes, the mythologies of of our of our race, and they contain the secrets of our future as well. So if you really understand the the mythic codes of life you understand where humanity's come from and where we're heading. So, yeah, that's and then the gene keys allow you to live out your own myth, you know.

Jannecke Øinæs 47:34

So no profile is similar. They're all unique.

Richard Rudd 47:41

Well, no, they are similar, you know. So if you're born on the same day as someone, you're going to have a pretty identical profile. But you see, as I said, it's not who you are. It's not telling you you are. This is like, this is your curriculum. So you might go to university and be studying the same courses as another person, but as a soul, you're you're going to have a completely different experience as you go through those courses. You know, you'll be good at some and not so good at others, because you have this, the soul quality that you bring. And you may be, you may be much more mature in certain areas and less mature in other areas than your twin brother or twin sister if you're born at the same time or similar time. So do you see what I mean? It's like, it's not something we should hold too tightly, because we're more mysterious than a piece of paper or a or a set of astral astrological coordinates. You know, that's what I understood in my deep initial experience, we are vast, you know, in the ray of your soul, when you feel it, and it's love, it's so it goes so deep, and it's unfathomably deep.

Jannecke Øinæs 48:55

Have you ever sensed that same bliss feeling again? Has it ever come back to you or and is that a frustration that I want to feel that again?

Richard Rudd 49:11

It's like, you know, if you're given the elixir of life, right, and you take a, like I said, it was a gulp. I took a big gulp, and then I swallowed it, and I had this incredible experience. But also, if you, if you have the elixir of life, and you take a little sip, it's like microdosing, right? So you can keep microdosing. And so for me, it, I have learned through the art of contemplation, which is, which is about creating, essentially starts by creating pauses in our lives. So we have to, like, inhabit the pauses in our life. You'd like that because of the stillness, right? It's creating little pockets of stillness so that our conscious. Can expand in those pockets. That's a discipline, right? And so as you begin to create that, what I've done over the years and decades is I created a practice out of that, that's part of my life and and in one in those moments of stillness, I get to sip from the cup. And so the ecstasy of those higher states is accessible all the time, but only if we stop and pause and drink it and and that's what sometimes seems crazy when we stop and pause and we drop into you know, I mean, it does require that you've done quite a bit of your shadow work, because if you haven't done your shadow work, when you pause, you meet the shadow, which is why people don't want to pause, because it's very uncomfortable. Because the moment you pause and stop, and you don't even have to close your eyes, you just sit there, just alone in a room with yourself. And if you haven't done that initial trauma work, it's very uncomfortable, so you have to do that work, and that's part of working with the shadow that gene keys does. But over time, you begin to transmute that shadow, and then when you pause, you meet your heart, and the deeper that goes, the more more you transform of the shadow, the more of your Blissfield you can drink, and so you become able to take those higher frequencies in and and it becomes a discipline in your life. And so yeah, for me, it's it's every day, especially in the mornings, like for me, the waking up in the morning early, and I have a little tea practice where I drink these little tea, little teapot here, like little, tiny old teapot, and I drink really refined old Chinese tea, like through three decades old tea. And it gives a little focus, so that, you know, I drink a little bit, but it just opens up an energy in me that allows me to drink from that field of joy, of bliss. Not every morning is like that, but most are nowadays for me, and then I carry that throughout my day, and as best I can, I mean, I live a normal, busy life with kids and family and money issues and the rest, like rest of us, so like, I have to tackle that as well. But if you have this, you know, if you're if you have this discipline where you're dropping into the city field regularly, it's really a beautiful thing, and it's not difficult.

Jannecke Øinæs 52:44

That's very inspiring. I mean, yeah, like we were mentioning. I mean, we could be spiritual in so many different ways, and we have different ways of practicing, and our partners have their different way than us, for instance, and that's okay, yeah, yeah.

Richard Rudd 53:03

I mean, you and I, we're very spiritual, right? But that spiritual is just a, it's just a, it's just a kind of part of our brand, right, of who we are. And there are other people who are just as sacred, but they may not be spiritual in that way, you know, but they have a deep connection to the sacred. Perhaps it's through working with their hands, or perhaps it's through being in nature, or perhaps it's you know, through music or through you know many things that can be, or through science or through you know, things that really connect you to the source of your soul's purpose, and the moment you kind of have that contact, you are a spirit. You are a kind of spiritual person in in one respect. So you don't have to then have, you know, like, I think you and I share that, like, my wife is not that interested in gene keys, or, you know, not particularly, and she's not, doesn't have an esoteric background like me and and so we don't really have those deep conversations that like that. We have very different kind of deep conversations that are more based on nature, or, I don't know, talking about our children, or, you know, the sky today, those kind of things,

Jannecke Øinæs 54:26

yeah, and it's so interesting that it works so beautifully in both our relationships, even though my husband is not also spiritual. Any who I heard you talk about how the universe seems to be mathematical, and I'm just so stunned by that, and then that gets me thinking about coincidences versus they exist at all, or if everything is destined in a way, what are your thoughts about that? Whether there are no coincidences or. Are there, are there any accidents? Is everything sort of not random, but highly orchestrated?

Richard Rudd 55:12

Well, if you you know, initially I said, you know, I remembered the future, which kind of gives you a notion of, if you remember the future, then it gives the idea that it must be predestined, right? And for me, truth is always a paradox, like, if it's not paradoxical, it's not a truth, it's only one side. So, so the mind can't, you know, easily grasp a paradox. A whole body has a whole being has to hold one of those paradoxical truths, and this is one of those, like whether things are predestined and whether we have free will, both are true. Both are true. And it's just a matter of perspective. So when we're looking through the human mind, you know, the evolutionary mind, and we're looking from the point of view of evolution, we're growing, we're expanding, we're learning, we're changing. We're, you know, we're, we're going to become this, this, this more evolved human in time. That's all you know, part of our progression of our consciousness, and then along that journey, we get to make choices, you know, and decisions and those feel like, well, I'm making that choice, and I'm making that choice, and I have the freedom to make whichever choices I want. That's from the evolutionary perspective, from the higher, transcendent perspective, which most people you know don't have that experience, but from that higher perspective, it's completely different, because from that omniscient mind, the divine mind, everything has already happened, and everything you know, the whole thing is just it's already unraveled. It's already it's already the beginning, the middle, the end, everything, it's just all done. So you know where it's going to go. You know that the story has a happy ending. You know that it reaches unification and the final end. You know because every good mythology does, it has to wrap itself up in an integrated way now, so you can see all that, and you can see the perfection of the mathematics, of the mathematics of that, and the narrative of the mythologies, and how sometimes it looks, you know, like in a good Shakespearean play or or Ibsen's great plays, you know, those sort of things where Things look like they're all it's not going to go, it's not going to go well, everything is turning bad, you know? And then just at the end, there's all these changes, these miraculous changes, and everything gets right, and there's a nice happy ending. Right? Consciousness actually really needs happy endings. It needs unification. Otherwise it carries on. It just get gives birth again. Because it has to find unification. It has to seek where it began. So eventually everything comes good and everything comes to Harmony again. It's that's built into the universe. But the beauty is that we don't, we don't necessarily know how. So we have the feeling of free will, but from the highest level, there is no free will, so both are true. And from the highest level, there's no individual, so there's no one to choose. There's no chooser. And this is very hard for the mind, the ego, to understand. It's because you feel like I'm choosing, I'm me, I'm this thing, and I'm making this decision, and it's my responsibility, and I have the choice. But from the highest level of consciousness, that's just the divine choosing. It's already chosen that path, and even if you change your mind, that's the divine changing its mind to trick you, because it's full of tricksters as well. And so there's a perfection to everything. And that's very hard. That's a hard truth. I'm very careful about when I say that, making clear, because people might go, Well, what about Gaza? You know what? That's not perfect, you know? And there's so many things that aren't perfect, and I'm not saying they're perfect in that sense. I'm just saying that there's a patterning and a reason and a purpose and a plan that sits behind everything, and that in time, the reason and purpose for everything gets revealed. But that may not, you know, we may not even see that while we're in the body. You know, sometimes when we leave the body, it is said that we then see all of that. We see the purpose and the reason and the blueprint behind everything, and we're like, okay, yeah, because we merge into that. Field again of the eternal, and then we come back in to one of these compressed, compressed bodies to live out another journey.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:00:10

Super interesting. Thank you for taking that journey for us. Yeah, and that makes so much sense that I do feel I have free will, but from a higher perspective, I don't, because everything is one, and I'm part of everything, and the Divine Will is also my will, because I'm part of everything, but my mind cannot understand it, but it just feels comforting to feel that there's a higher plan. Everything is orchestrated beautifully for a higher purpose that I cannot see. It's all good. That's what I'm trying to say, that it's all good from a higher perspective. That's just feels so wonderful, because we feel the opposite here on Earth, that everything is wrong. In a sense, this doesn't work. Polarization, politics, leaders, suffering like this world, does not seem to work properly. But there is a deeper reason to it and and also that we're part of. You know, the inner work we're doing has its purpose, and we have these superpowers or cities within us that's also empowering for each individual. I feel this has been incredibly interesting. Thank you so much for coming to the show. And I have a few questions I ask everybody, and the first one is, what is self love to you, Richard?

Richard Rudd 1:01:40

well for me, self love begins and ends with gentleness, you know, and I feel that, you know, one of the pillars of contemplation is gentleness, and it it means you have to be really gentle with yourself. And if you're gentle with yourself, then you will always kind of live in that self love and self respect. You'll be cultivating that energy field around yourself, and it means that your heart can feel safe and your body can feel safe in this world because you treat yourself with kindness, and it's hard for us humans, because we learn these patterns where we don't do that, like I was talking about stress. You know, if you're if you're living a life of stress, you're not being gentle with yourself and and so one of the realizations you have to have is, oh God, if I'm kinder to myself, I feel better, I'm more radiant, I'm softer, I'm nicer to be around, you know, because I'm feeling, I'm not feeling that stress or I'm not feeling that discomfort or that shadow. So for me, that gentleness is is everything, and it also can be quite firm. You know, if you're gentle with yourself, it might be that you're less gentle with someone else you might be. You might say, No, that is not okay. That is a boundary, but that comes out of your gentleness towards yourself, like if someone's mistreating you, for example. So gentleness is not weak. It's incredibly strong, but you have to apply it to yourself or at all times.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:03:20

And what is the deeper meaning of life from your perspective?

Richard Rudd 1:03:28

Yeah. I mean, for me, when you get down to the basis of everything, you know, when I get down to the basis of everything really deep and the deepest places I've ever gone inside myself, what I've found is laughter And again, like that doesn't sound right? There is nothing out here that's funny, but when you come really, really deep into the inner sanctum of existence, that's what I've discovered. I've discovered a belly laugh, and it just makes me laugh. I've discovered it many times, like when I've gone into very deep, contemplative states or long periods of isolation, or, you know, and that's what I come to I just hear this laughter. I just hear like, oh my god, it's a cosmic joke. We take it so seriously. We take our lives so seriously. And so for me, that's the future human as well, is like a human that laughs, that can laugh at ourselves and laugh at each other and laugh together. Yeah, and laughter is an orgasm. You know, laughter is like an orgasm. So we live, we're orgasmic beings.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:04:48

I love that. Where can people go if they want to learn more about the gene keys and perhaps work with you?

Richard Rudd 1:04:55

Yeah, you just come to Genekeys.com there is so much good stuff you can start. Your journey with your profile. One of the things that's really lovely to do is you could come, if you're bold and brave and you want to take the deep voyage, come on one of our online retreats, and we have one starting in November. We haven't started advertising it yet, but I'm going to be lead. It's the last one I'm going to lead, actually, because I've done so many over the years, and I'm going to stop doing I'm personally going to stop leading them. But this is the last one I'm going to lead. And there, this one is four months, the beginning part, and it goes deep into your life. It teaches you how to contemplate the gene keys. There are things every, you know, two weeks and every week. And so you have a pattern that unfolds, and you're part of a community of probably, you know, 1000 or more people who are multicultural all around the world, connecting and exploring the gene keys and exploring your codes. And so if you're interested in that kind of stuff, one of the best things you could do is sign up to our pulse, which is like our love letter that we send out every week that contains the codes of the week and a recording by me, always of the gene key of the week. And this is what is in the back so it's and when you sign up for your profile, there's a little box you can click just Yes, I'd like to receive that. And it's not like a newsletter that will be selling you stuff occasionally does, but it's like it's it's a beautiful way of connecting into me and the gene keys and our community on a regular basis. And it shows you right now what is the gene key that is passing overhead for the planet and and what is its shadow and what is its gift. And that's a lovely thing to tune into. So with many, you know, you know, a good 100,000 people that that kind of tune into the pulse and love it, and we put a lot of care into it. So it's a really lovely way of connecting in with the gene keys and with me and my community,

Jannecke Øinæs 1:07:03

sounds amazing. Thank you so much for coming to the show. It was such a joy meeting you Richard,

Richard Rudd 1:07:08

likewise, really lovely to meet you too. And so many congratulations to my wedding, yeah, beginning of a big journey.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:07:21

Thank you so much. I'm excited. I'm ready. I'm ready for it.
