On Wednesday June 2nd the Sun will move into Gate 35, CHANGE or APTITUDE. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called PROGRESS. “Let there be no scales to weigh your un-known treasure; And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless.” ― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet As a child my family moved on a continual basis. I was the "new kid" everywhere I went. I hungered for connection with others but as soon as I started making friends our family would move again. It doesn't feel good to feel hungry. Whether it is for human connection, money, food or really anything that we perceive to be lacking, hunger is painful. I distinctly remember a moment, when I was a child, expressing sadness about another upcoming move. My mother looked at me and said something that has stuck with me my entire life. "Just think of it as an adventure!" Pain is legitimate. It needs to be heard and validated. But, to keep company with our pain for too long is very dis-empowering and can hold us back from becoming who we are meant to be! A mindset of lack just produces more lack. It's very easy to become stuck there. I won't say that after that shift in perspective I never felt lack or sadness again. On this planet there is suffering. I have, like most people, experienced many losses and setbacks that have been painful. But one skill that has helped me tremendously is reframing my hunger, my pain, as an adventure and believing that within any adventure treasures will be discovered. Perhaps even something better than what I thought I wanted! It may seem childish to some but it's helped me tremendously throughout my life to get back up after being knocked down. As this energy flows to all of us I do hope you are able to open your heart to adventure and new, boundless possibilities ahead! Richard Rudd's take on Gene Key 35 Shadow- Hunger Gift – Adventure Siddhi – Boundlessness “This Gene Key has driven us with its Hunger. Our deepest Hunger is to fly once again, to sail up into the sky and become one with the Divine, to be a bird in the skies of existence…” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings!

On Thursday May 27th the Sun will move into Gate 16. Gate 16 is known as SKILLS or TALENT. In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called ENTHUSIASM.
“Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.” ― Henry David Thoreau If you observe a child playing or being creative you will notice that they become completely immersed. They seem completely overtaken by what they are engaged in and almost giddy in a both focused and flowing manner. It's exhilarating to witness. I speak to so many people lately that feel like they have lost that inner spark. They are so tuned into the smallness of everyday struggles and difficulties that they have lost their enthusiasm for play. They have become indifferent. Just going through the motions. Very much like a robot of some sort. I find this to be tragic. It is a departure from what it is to be human. While we cannot completely toss away facts, pragmatism or working on overcoming our challenges, we can insert into our lives times of enthusiastic play and creativity. In doing so balance can return to our lives and with it joyfulness and childlike wonder! In doing so we return to what it is to feel truly alive! Richard Rudd on Gene Key 16 Shadow- Indifference Gift – Versatility Siddhi – Mastery “Higher intelligence is a fusion of heart, mind, and spirit. We need a new type of thinker in the world, one who isn’t sunk into their mind alone, one whose spirit isn’t for sale to the highest bidder, and one whose emotional life has matured enough, so they can use their feminine qualities in harmony with their masculine.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called CONTEMPLATION.
The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end. It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up. - Eckhart Tolle It isn't always easy to remain present. Sometimes it can feel impossible. For many it never happens. They live their lives so caught up in regret about the past, or worry about the future, that they never fully appreciate all that is before them. They are never really present in the moment. It seems to me that our culture is set up to trap people in a cycle that keeps them in a constant state of anxiety. You can tune into the news, 24 hours a day if you would like, and find something that will likely trigger anxiety. What is interesting about stress, anxiety and fear is that it actually causes the grey matter in our brain to shrink and the area for fight or flight, the reptilian part of our brain called the amygdala, to become enlarged and reactive. Animals become more intelligent when they experience anxiety. Humans, on the other hand, lose their ability to be calm, rational, logical and responsive when they stay in a state of anxiety. Decision making, when a person is stressed, is often deeply flawed and terribly reactive . It is really crucial, for the sake of our mental and physical well being, to find ways to remain present. Meditation is one way to be fully present and engaged with the moment as is play, exercise, art and really anything one can do that puts them in the "zone". Being in the zone is being free and engaged with what is right before you, and nothing else, and it feels amazing! As this energy flows to all of us you might ask yourself if there is something that you do to fully engage in the now and remain present. If so do more of that! You will be amazed by how much more peace and joy you experience in your day to day life! Richard Rudd's thoughts on Gene Key 20 Shadow- Superficiality Gift – Self Assurance Siddhi– Presence “The two trigrams that make up this hexagram are ‘the gentle wind’ and ‘the earth’, so we have to listen to the whispering wind of awareness, and let it blow into all the corners of our life.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called HOLDING TOGETHER.
“The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.” – Albert Einstein No one is Mediocre. They are just not 'them'. When we make decisions based on popular opinion, as opposed to what we know to be correct for us, deep inside, we lose our shine. Being different and marching to your own beat will cost you. You might lose the approval and good graces of some. Nonetheless this is really more of a reflection of who they are inside and has little to do with you personally. To become the Exquisiteness that you already are, look to your Inner Authority to lead you. Stop comparisons and let go of the fear of not being liked and accepted. If a person is committed to misunderstanding you they will find a way to do it no matter what you do. You might as well "do you". Gene Key 8 Shadow- Mediocrity Gift – Style Siddhi – Exquisiteness “We need not fear Mediocrity as long as our heart is open and singing. We no longer need to react to it, and find ourself at odds with the status quo. True Style is found in the marketplace, living as an example of a true rebellious human being, unchained by external definitions, and unfettered by conditioning, ancestral or cultural.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called SPLITTING APART.
This is a very interesting gate. Nikola Tesla had this gate. He knew astounding things that the world simply wasn't ready to hear. He was a man that was way before his time. When he tried to communicate what he knew he faced a good amount of persecution and push back for it. It's very challenging to receive some sort of 'Divine' download or Revelation and want so badly for others to see the light, yet just not get it. Being able to explain something in a simple, digestible way is key. And it's difficult. Yet, it is so very important. It takes time and patience. In order to understand something one has to be able to distill the very smallest elements to make them comprehensible. I am an experiential learner. Personally, I have to immerse myself deeply in something to understand it and it works best, for me, when I approach one piece of information at a time. The Latin quinta, meaning "fifth," is the feminine form of quintus, the same root found in quintuplet. In classical and medieval philosophy, the known world was made up of four distinct elements—those being earth, air, water, and fire. The 'aether' is number 5. This 'aether' is the essence. The pure, distilled substance of a truth. Simple, yet profound. This week as this energy flows to all of us do not complicate things. Feel them out. Slowly and one thing at a time. Words are not important. It is only then that which is pure, universal and clear will come forth. You will know.... Blessings, April Gene Key 23 Shadow-Complexity Gift – Simplicity Siddhi – Quintessence “Learn to love life through your hands. Give time for your hands to shape and express the beauty of your quintessence. Caress life. Release life. Let it slip through your fingers with a smile. Reach out and touch the world around you. Touch the hearts of those around you. Touch the trees. Touch the creatures of our world. Touch your own body. Stroke your wounded heart back to life.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called THE RECEPTIVE.
“Until we can receive with an open heart, we're never really giving with an open heart. When we attach judgment to receiving help, we knowingly or unknowingly attach judgment to giving help.” ― Brené Brown When a person truly gives a gift from their heart there are no strings attached. Unfortunately we live in a world that is very transactional. The transactional nature of our culture creates a good deal of distrust and it makes it very difficult for us to receive from others and in turn to give to others. This is a vicious cycle. To receive is a very "Yin" energy and we live in a very "Yang" world. A healthy person has a good balance of both. Yin is about input whereas Yang is about output, to simplify the concept. To bring about balance these two energies must learn to 'dance' together. Not in opposition but in interdependence and cohesiveness. One will never be able to give, truly give, anything to anyone until they learn to receive. Receiving, resting, recharging and taking care of one's needs is devalued in our culture. Allowing another to care for us or help us even more so! We are conditioned to believe that to receive is weak, or says something negative about our character, when in fact the capability to receive is very necessary for our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. As this energy flows to all of us consider losing your grip on believing you must do it all, be it all or give it all. Allow someone to give to you. Allow someone to help you. See how the flow and natural rhythm of 'allowing" brings about a sense of ease in life. And give another an opportunity to receive the benefits of the rich experience of what it is to give. When you have allowed yourself to receive, and when it is your turn to give, you will be giving from a place of abundance rather than emptiness and lack. When you are coming from fullness the outcome is BALANCE- physically, mentally and spiritually. Richard Rudd's thoughts on Gene Key 2 Gene Key 2 Shadow- Dislocation Gift – Orientation Siddhi – Unity “The Gift of Orientation is so profound that it creates a torus around us. That is what our trust does – we trust the suffering of another. We open our hearts to them without Agenda, and they receive our trust at a cellular level.” – Richard Rudd, The 64 Ways Blessings to you!
