The Gene Keys

Dragonfly

The Gene Keys are a further development on the foundation of Human Design. This transmission came into the world through Richard Rudd, philosopher, writer and poet, who was director of Human Design UK when he began to receive fresh insights.

The Gene Keys emphasize the transformative potential that lies dormant in our genes. By shining the light of awareness on the areas of our life that each Gene Key, or hexagram, represents, we awaken the higher qualities in those fields, our innate genius. Richard Rudd uses a map of Shadow state, Gift state, and Siddhic state.

Siddhi Gift and Shadow state

Just as in Human Design, the Gene Keys use the imprints of the cosmic energies in our DNA at the time of our birth (and 88 days before that) as a basis. They result in our Gene Keys Profile, which you can obtain for free. It’s your personal map for an inner journey to discover your hidden Genius, increase your capacity to live with an open heart, and find your own way to release prosperity in the world.

Essentially, the Gene Keys is a way of self-study, using contemplation as the main method. In the beginning, the amount of information and new perspectives that open up can be overwhelming. To have someone at your side, as well as to share with fellow Gene Keys travelers, can be a great support along the way.

I recommend these steps:

  • If you want to go deeper, consider starting out on the Golden Path, or one of the other online courses.

This online programme has been updated and is now available for new and returning players. Gather your team, learn the dance moves, and play the game time and time again!
