The i-Ching – A holographic path towards awakening

The i-Ching stands alone among all sacred texts. Based as it is on the original 64-fold matrix behind the space/time continuum, and mirroring the precise mathematical structure of DNA, it perfectly unifies the macrocosm with the microcosm. In its early days the i-Ching was used, in particular by the Taoists, as a precise contemplative tool to bring about higher states of awareness. Over the years however the book became somewhat watered down until it came to be seen more as a popular oracle than as a spiritual path. In 1987 however, Ra Uru Hu received an updated contemporary transmission concerning the true use of the i-Ching. He encapsulated these teachings in a system called Human Design. This system unified the i-Ching code with the ancient science of Astrology and an understanding of genetics.

The 64 – The origin of the Gene Keys

By laying out the i-Ching in a circle around the zodiac, Ra effectively discovered a universal birth clock for tracking archetypal genetic patterns. His revelation led him to a profound understanding of the 64 symbols of the i-Ching. Known as hexagrams because of their sixfold design, these symbols each have a specific relationship to the amino acids and base nucleotides in our DNA. Furthermore, the 64 hexagrams are behavioral archetypes, which means that they can be interpreted at different levels within almost any field, from physiology to sociology. As an early student of Ra’s, I (Richard Rudd) made a seven-year contemplation of the 64 hexagrams and experienced my own breakthrough, a key insight that took this wisdom along another new path. Naming the 64 genetic archetypes the ‘Gene Keys’ I understood them not as fixed behavioral characteristics but as a fluctuating spectrum of vast human possibility.

The Spectrum of Consciousness – Becoming the architect of your own evolution

As a fractal aspect of the original universal pattern of life, each Gene Key has an infinite potential concealed within it. These are the codes for all human consciousness. Depending on your attitude, you can change the frequency of your Gene Keys, therefore influencing not only your own biology but also your destiny. At low frequencies where fear holds sway, your Gene Keys only manifest as victim patterns. These are known as our Shadows. At a higher frequency, as you rise above the victim pattern, you activate the Gift within the Gene Key and catalyze a creative explosion in your life. At the very highest frequencies, every Gene Key manifests an enlightened awareness known as a Siddhi. Working with the Gene Keys, therefore, brings you into a deep process of transformation as you come to accept your own shadows and transcend them.

The Hologenetic Profile – Mapping the cosmos within your DNA

Throughout this cosmic journey we have seen how deeply everything in our universe is connected to everything else. Despite its seeming complexity the universe has at its heart a startling simplicity. When therefore we apply the same holographic principles to time as we do to space, things get very interesting. What does it mean to say that time is a hologram? At one level it means that there are no coincidences. In every moment a specific pattern is at work in the universe, and since there are only 64 fundamental patterns it is relatively easy to understand the dynamics of a particular moment in time. Let us consider one such moment – your birth. At the time when you were born a certain set of specific fractal patterns were at play. If we could decipher these patterns we would be able to see into the corresponding forces that make you who you are. This is what your Hologenetic Profile is – it allows you to look into the hologram and see the behavioral archetypes – the Gene Keys – that dictate your evolutionary journey.

The Golden Path – The sequences of your personal awakening

When you first see your Profile, you will see that it is divided into three sequences. Each of these represents a journey of contemplation and potential transformation in your life. As the quintessence of life, the DNA molecule is programmed to eventually become self-aware. Driven by the sacred wound, it constantly seeks its own higher nature. The basis of your Hologenetic Profile is the premise that inside your DNA there already exists a code for wholeness. If you are able to vibrate this code through the correct frequencies, then you can effectively unlock your highest potential. Your Profile therefore presents you with a series of pathways or sequences calculated from your time of birth that correspond to your particular path of awakening. As you apply these teachings to your daily life, you will gradually begin to experience this wonderful sense of wholeness opening up inside you.

The Activation Sequence – Fulfilling your higher purpose

As you contemplate the Gene Keys of your Hologenetic Profile, the first big theme you encounter is the theme of your higher purpose. Our higher purpose is encoded in our DNA. In the widest sense we all have the same higher purpose, which is to heal the sacred wound and arrive back at that point of perfect wholeness – the wonderful Quiescence that existed before the beginning and that still exists inside us. However, we each have a different quality of consciousness as we journey back towards our true source. As you enter into a deep contemplation of the particular quality of your purpose and as you embody it in your everyday life, you will activate its higher frequencies within your DNA, and it will manifest.

The Venus Sequence – Reaching the heart of the sacred wound

Of the three sequences along the Golden Path, the most potent transformation comes from the Venus Sequence. It provides us with a fitting conclusion to our cosmic story. The Venus Sequence takes us back to the beginning of our own life – to the point of our conception. The moment of conception is a microcosmic mirror of the Big Bang itself. It was at the point of conception that you received the sacred wound through your ancestral DNA. This single moment denotes the point at which your awareness left the wholeness of being and entered into the great game of life. The Venus Sequence describes the sacred wound as a sequence that is laid down in holographic stages from the point of conception to birth. Your greatest potentials and your deepest challenges are all imprinted inside your biology before you are even born.

When we speak of the sacred wound, we know it as sacred in the sense that it is an integral part of existence. Without the fracture, life would not exist, and we could not evolve. When the wound enters the world through a human being it enters through our DNA, the very blueprints of our being. It is quite literally ‘wound’ around our DNA. The wound is also the cause of all human suffering, so when we begin to work with our Venus Sequence, we will be journeying deeply into aspects of our lives where we feel a great deal of discomfort. Having said that, the Venus Sequence gives us a safe and gentle pathway into the heart of the sacred wound – one that we can journey in distinct stages. It is a journey of love into the reasons why we do not always feel love.

The Pearl Sequence – The perfect ending

We begin our journey into our Hologenetic Profile with the Activation Sequence and the question of our Purpose, then we gradually discover through the Venus Sequence that our true purpose is to heal our heart. The finale is called the Pearl Sequence – once our heart begins to open, we witness the organic flowering of our prosperity. These themes of purpose, love, and prosperity flow naturally out of each other as a sequence – the Golden Path. The Pearl is a very special sequence because it has not yet fully emerged into the modern world. The Pearl concerns the birth of collective intelligence. Once our hearts have opened, the true meaning of prosperity in our lives completely changes. Instead of being about personal achievement, prosperity is realized as a need to be of service to something greater. Our hearts wish for only one thing – to use our highest gifts to help to others.

The Pearl describes the manifestations of your highest form of prosperity. It also indicates how you will draw in the right allies to manifest your higher purpose in your community. This occurs through synchronicity. The opening of one’s heart also brings us to the threshold of a new form of intelligence that is still evolving on our planet. This intelligence is founded upon the principles of philanthropy. Philanthropy begins where competition ends. It is not that competition is bad but that it is based upon conflict. As a new collective intelligence dawns among human beings, we will find a completely new way of thinking, behaving, and organizing our society. This is how the sacred wound will be healed at a collective level.

The Solar System – The cycles of archetypes

Since the very beginning we humans have gazed in wonder up at the stars. We have also always used them for navigation, both externally to guide our way through the landscape, but also internally to guide us in understanding our lives. The cyclical movements of the planets and moons offer us an obvious metaphor for the cycles of change in our own lives. Perhaps this is why we have always wondered whether the movement of the planets offer more than just a metaphor, but perhaps even offer us a mirror? In the holographic universe everything is connected to everything else in a profound synchronicity.

When human beings first began tracking and contemplating the movements and qualities of the planets, they found specific patterns that informed their intuition. Over the millennia, certain planets became associated with particular archetypal qualities. Over time these qualities were refined and evolved.
