Friday, July 1st the Sun will move into Gate 39, PROVOCATION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called OBSTRUCTION.
It makes no difference how important the provocation may be, but into what kind of soul it penetrates. Similarly with fire; it does not matter how great is the flame, but what it falls upon. Seneca. Do you like to stir the pot a little bit? You may have Gate 39 in your BodyGraph. Go on, take a look! If you have Gate 39 you have the Gate of Provocation. This week this energy will flow to all of us! Now before you get concerned please understand that not all provocation is bad. It can be. But provocation used correctly, in the correct situation and at the right time can bring great positive changes to the world! It can become dynamic and catalyze powerful change in our lives or the lives of others. Just make sure that if you are the one sharing or bringing forth something new that you are bringing it as a result of an invitation or an opening and not simply to 'stir the pot'! We all need a little motivation at times and sometimes that motivation comes in the form of being provoked to look at ourselves or a situation in a deeper way. If we can view provocation from this lens it is possible to experience freedom or liberation from the things and situations that might be holding us captive. There is tremendous potential with this Gate and as this energy flows to all of us! Gene Key 39 Shadow-Provocation Gift – Dynamism Siddhi – Liberation The 39th Gift is all about unlocking freedom, at all levels. These people are either utterly locked, or they’re the great unlockers and unblockers. Once they’ve learned the art, they become expert at helping others. They can apply this Gift into any field we can imagine, because ultimately they know how to release stagnant energy through a system. They’re very valuable people. – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings! April Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate. As the sun (or any other celestial body) moves through a gate it **“activates”**the energy of that gate. This means that the energy is released to “flow” to us. The sun is considered the most dominant and important transit to be aware of.) **Human Design is a synthesis of ancient and modern sciences; proven to be a valuable tool for human understanding.

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 entirely overtaken by what they are engaged in and almost giddy in both a 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 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 pushback 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. 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!

I did not feel inspired to change or improve upon what I shared last year about this gate so some of you may recognize this! I really believe it's invaluable to understand the shadow of this gate to flow into its beautiful gift INVENTION. So here it goes!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 27th the Sun will move into Gate 24, RATIONALIZATION. In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called RETURNING. Addiction is a serious thing. People can be addicted to anything. Shopping, eating, worrying, gossip, substances, social media, exercise, work....and the list goes on. (I am going to call the addiction the "thing" in this post to keep it general) We tend to, as a society, judge people that have addictions. Humans put a moral spin on everything. This is short-sided as all of us have addictive behaviors. We think the "thing" is the problem rather than exploring what might be the root of the behavior. We believe once the "thing" is gone the problem will go away so we practice aestheticism and ban the thing. If that is the approach to overcoming the addiction then something else will take its place. A new "thing" per se. Now, don't get me wrong, if a substance or behavior is causing harm to an individual or the people around him or her I get the logic behind removing the "thing". However, the "thing" was never the issue. As Gabor Mate says, "Not why the addiction, but why the pain." That is the question we must sit with. That question requires great bravery. Rather than judge those that have an addiction, or ourselves if we are struggling, perhaps we should extend compassion and understanding, appreciating the tremendous courage it requires to face pain and suffering head-on. It's very Human to shy away from or bypass pain. Most of us humans do. The Buddha sought all sorts of ways to bypass suffering. He went to all the gurus and tried all the techniques only to come to the conclusion that suffering is a very real part of being human. He uses the Pali word "Dukkah" for the word we interpret as 'suffering'. The English word suffering really isn't a good translation. In Pali, it has a much broader meaning than that. It can mean suffering or pain but it also can mean impermanence or change or conditioned states. Thankfully he provides some sound guidance on how to navigate and ease suffering but you can look into that on your own if you are motivated. To give you a hint it requires being able to sit with suffering, as I mentioned before, and transcend it through a process of letting go.... This week, as this energy flows to us all, I hope that you find the silence beneath the pain where peace resides. Stay with it. You are beautiful, you are brave and you are amazing. Richard Rudd's take.... Gene Key 24 Shadow-Addiction Gift – Invention Siddhi– Silence “Whether we feel our suffering as grief, numbness, boredom, angst, frustration, loneliness, or any other deeply uncomfortable state, we like to avoid it, so we find patterns of behavior that temporarily suspend the discomfort.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called NOURISHMENT.
Are you a Healer, a Giver, or a Nourisher? There are two ways to give. There is giving from a place of abundance and there is giving with an expectation of return, from the perspective of emptiness. Somewhere on our journey, we might have suffered a wound of impoverishment- be it material or of love or any number of things we might have needed- and we might develop an idea of not enough. In truth, in this 3D reality, it does seem like there is not enough at times. But 'Not enough' can become the filter by which we perceive almost everything when we are wounded. Like a weed, It has this uncanny ability to take root in how we see our relationships, our careers, our social life, and even how we see ourselves. Herein lies the shadow expression of this Gate/Key. When I see the word "selfishness" I don't get too caught up in cultural perspectives around the morality of the word. Selfish isn't right or wrong as much as it is a reaction to a wound rooted in fear. All shadows are rooted in fear. When we feel full, because we come to understand that the Universe is abundant, we are able to shift from an impoverished perspective to one of abundance and that is when we can give freely with no expectation of return. We can do this because no matter what we have or do not have, we have become a conduit for that which is unending and not limited in any capacity. We free ourselves, pivot from the idea of lack, and therefore can freely give. There are many things that we can give that are not monetary but powerful. A smile is a wonderful offering! It has the power to shift another person's day. Spending time with a friend, sharing a meal with someone, letting someone in a hurry go through the check line in front of you....these are all things that have a ripple effect! Inquiry: What is your relationship to 'enough' or 'not enough'? Gate/Gene Key 27 is about putting the needs of another before our own. It can express in so many beautiful and surprising ways. As this energy flows to all of us you may find yourself being pulled to give selflessly from a spirit of altruism. How wonderful is that? As always I enjoy Richard Rudd's take on what he calls Gene Key 27: Gene Key 27 Shadow -Selfishness Gift – Altruism Siddhi – Selflessness “The 27th Gift has many insights for us. It is a profound and magical Gene Key. The most important Gift it brings is this unselfish attitude that comes from knowing the connectedness of all life. If we have the 27th Gene Key, or feel mysteriously drawn to it, then we’re fortunate. We’re a carer, a planetary healer.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING. “We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become.” – Dr. David Hawkins Becoming isn’t an easy process. To become we must un-become what we once were or how we used to see or do things. To be truly innovative, to chart a new course or to reinvent oneself is difficult….in the beginning. Like anything we do consistency is key. There are so many things that can throw us off track. There are so many distractions, obligations and demands for our attention. Those things will always be among us. They are the “waves” in the sea of life. Like Jon Cabot Zinn says, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf!” It all starts with an acknowledgement of what is true. And what is not true. And making peace with what is. It’s only then that we can begin our effort to change direction and to improve ourselves and the world we live in. We have had so much chaos as of late. But what is chaos really? Chaos is an undoing of sorts and without chaos there is no need to innovate. Resistance to what is just prolongs suffering. Surrendering to truth and to change is a necessary component of not only ending our suffering but bringing about positive change and meaningful growth. I hope as this energy flows to us all that instead of focusing on the undoing, the chaos, we see it as an opportunity to bring about new and exciting ways to solve our difficulties and the difficulties of our world! Richard Rudd’s take on Gene Key 3 Shadow-Chaos Gift – Innovation Siddhi – Innocence “No matter who or what we are, we’re subject to constant change. When we let that truth in, it’s very uncomfortable, at least in the beginning. This Gene Key is all about the process of letting change in. We have to let it into our heart, body, and soul. This is a contemplation on change.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.

In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called INCREASE.
“The thing about finishing a story is that finishing is really only the beginning.” ― William Herring Life is a continuum. Every ending is a new beginning. This week the energy will be there for completion, closure, and growth. The sun will come out Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun! I was in 6th grade when I sang this solo from Annie at my middle school. I was so nervous that they had to play the intro twice to coax me to begin singing. I hadn’t factored in how uncomfortable I might be with a crowd staring at me and I froze up for a while. I remember the look of panic on my parent’s faces and the relief they felt when I finally broke through my nervousness and began my solo. That song is rife with expectations of better days ahead. I get that. I do. We tend to attach to our expectations to the degree that we can only look at the present through lenses of dissatisfaction with whatever we might be going through now. In doing so we miss so much and there is so much in every moment for us. Even in the difficult moments. In Buddhist thought, hope is problematic in that it focuses on the perceived unsatisfactory conditions of now. I tend to agree with that idea. The dissatisfaction we experience isn’t necessarily because of what is before us now but a result of the attachment to the idea that now needs to be different than what it is. It’s our discomfort with the ‘suchness’ of life. While waiting for ‘the sun to come out’ we miss the beauty and magnificence of now. We spend our lives waiting to live when we could be living now. Several years ago, I was struggling with the ‘suchness’ of life. In my opinion, it was deeply unsatisfactory. That’s kind of an understatement. It was traumatic, daily. I had this moment of realization one morning, alone in my house, that at that moment, that very moment, nothing was wrong. What had come before, minutes earlier was wrong. What might come later that day could be wrong. But now, now was perfect. The bright sun was filling my kitchen. The aroma of coffee filled the air and there was silence, sweet silence. I thought about every minute of every day and how much perfection there was and when I examined that deeply I realized that I had let a few moments define my day and really my life. That realization catapulted me into the journey I am currently on. Now is to be celebrated. It’s all there is. If we can release our grip on the future we can really live today! I always enjoy Richard Rudd's take on what he calls Gene Key 42.... Gene Key 42 Shadow -Expectation Gift – Detachment Siddhi – Celebration “When we go into this, we’ll discover what blissfulness feels like. We’ll touch the ecstatic realms where the mind lets go, where thinking comes to an end. When thoughts do come, they’re the thoughts of God, so they only engender more bliss. We’ll become like a child again, and life becomes heaven on earth” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.
