GENE KEYS
Unlocking The Higher Purpose Hidden In Your DNA
To all who are reading or hearing these words:
May your heart burst open in unconditional Love
May your mind be illuminated by infinite Peace
May your body be flooded by the light of your Essence.
May all whom you touch in this life
Through your thoughts, your words and your deeds
Be transformed by the Radiance of your Presence.
Welcome to the Gene Keys.
This book is an invitation to begin a new journey in your life.
Regardless of outer circumstances, every single human being has something beautiful hidden inside them. The sole purpose of the Gene Keys is to bring that beauty forth — to unveil your incandescence, the eternal spark of genius that sets you apart from everyone else.
Recent breakthroughs in biology point towards an amazing truth — your DNA, the coiled code that has made you who you are today, is not in control of your destiny. Rather, it is your general attitude to life that tells your DNA what kind of person you want to become. This means that every thought, feeling, word and action that you make in life is imprinted in every single cell of your body. Negative thoughts and emotions cause your DNA to contract, whereas positive thoughts and emotions cause it to expand and relax. This process is going on all the time, from the moment you come into the world to the moment you leave.
You alone are the architect of your evolution.
When you fully embrace the implications of this truth, then your journey has begun. Even if you read no further, this truth can transform your life. It is reflected in the lives of all the great saints and spiritual teachers throughout history — that inside each of us lies vast potential and beauty, and it is limited only by the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
Our planet is in the midst of a vast transition in which humanity is playing the central role. A great quantum leap is in the air. The Gene Keys offer us a vision of a very different world than the one we see today. They show us a world where human beings are governed by higher principles such as love, forgiveness and freedom. Such a world is not a dream, it is the next stage of our natural evolution and it depends upon each of us unlocking the higher purpose that lies hidden in our DNA.
I hope as you enter and explore the wonderful labyrinth of the Gene Keys that they will ignite the spark of your highest potential, and that you will embrace the beauty of your personal dream and allow it to grow inside you. And as your higher purpose begins to impact those you love and the world around you, may you join your genius with all of us who dare to dream of a higher and better world, and together let us make that dream a reality.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
THE 64 GENE KEYS SPECTRUM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Writing this book has been a great adventure for me. Right from its beginning, five years ago, it has led me a merry dance. I know that many writers experience this same feeling of their book having a soul all of its own. The Gene Keys have overseen the creation of a rich new landscape all around me, weaving together the many multi-coloured strands of my life into a vast magic carpet of pure possibility.
Many people, both seen and unseen, have made this journey possible for me.
Sheila Buchanan and Neil Taylor have walked the path through the Gene Keys with me from the beginning and I will always feel indebted beyond words to the unending faith, love and wisdom they have both for me and for this work. That this book exists at all is due in no small part to the altruistic spirit in which they have supported me down the years.
More recently, my life has also been blessed with the presence of Teresa Collins and Marshall Lefferts, both of whom have imbibed the Gene Keys deeply into their being, thus empowering me to discover new levels of synthesis and integration in the living body of the text. Both Teresa and Marshall have given their love, time and copious gifts unconditionally to the Gene Keys and continue to do a great service to the work and our growing community. Their combined skills have overseen all aspects of the publication of this book. Once again, my gratitude towards them both is beyond words.
There have of course been many teachers who have influenced me down the years and many of their hearts beat within the living veins of this teaching. Above all, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov has been a constant internal reference for me, guiding me from a plane beyond our own. It is his prophetic understanding of the notion of the Great White Brotherhood and the coming planetary synarchy that permeates much of the wisdom behind the Gene Keys. I feel personally enriched to be able to honour and bow to the purity and inner light of this great Rishi who has guided the upper reaches of my awareness for many years now.
On a more practical plane, the Gene Keys owe a great debt to Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the Human Design System. It was Ra who opened my eyes to the real nature of the I Ching, and it was Ra who also taught me how to read the codes hidden inside it. I will always feel a deep love and gratitude towards this man who guided me towards my higher nature, and whose genius ultimately paved the way towards the Gene Keys themselves.
Still on a practical level I am also exceedingly indebted to Barbara McKinley for her excellent editing and for reorganising the text and even adding to its fluidity and natural cadence. She is a woman of rare ability and great generosity of spirit. Also many thanks to Lynda Rae for laying out the book and Jackie Morris for her beautiful dragonfly. A special thanks too to Melanie Eclare and Tom Petherick (a pair of stars sent from heaven) for their part in helping to bring this book and the Gene Keys into the world.
The journey that has led to the existence of this book has been one of many twists and turns, and I would like to thank some of the heroes and heroines I have met along the way whose destinies and hearts are woven at some level into its story. My gratitude to the following: Werner Pitzal for his amazing brotherly love, Linda Lowrey for her trust and devotion, Peter Maxwell Evans for his totality, Marina Efraimoglou for her warmth and generosity, Chetan Parkyn for his endless enthusiasm, Sally Searle for her empathic friendship and Shofen Lee for her consistently pure heart. The profound love and recognition I have felt from all these people has greatly accelerated my own ability to dive into the higher frequencies of the transmission and pull down its most exquisite jewels and insights. Again, I feel gratitude beyond words.
My penultimate acknowledgment is towards all the students I have met and come to know down the years. Many of them have become my trusted friends, allies and in some cases co-teachers. None of this would be possible without the love, support and encouragement of the core community that has formed around these teachings. I know that great things lie ahead for us all, and I am excited to explore our deeper communion together as a single unified field of consciousness. I drink to you all!
Finally, I must honour my family, my parents and my beautiful children, who are a continual inspiration and delight to me. Above all I bow to Marian my beloved wife. Her strength, radiance and pure spirit have enabled me to bring a new higher teaching down to earth. So often it is we men who are afforded all the praise for our creations. Even though it was I who spoke the actual words, it is Marian who has provided the space for this magic to occur, and for that I will always hold her more precious within my heart than words can say. Both as a muse and a mother, and as a friend and wife, she has grounded my dreams and been the constant earth to my star-drawn heaven.
The Gene Keys teachings are designed as an open system that you can explore in a wide variety of ways. Unlike many teachings, they are a self-teaching transmission that awakens within you, rather than a structure imposed from the outside through a set discipline or teacher. In this sense, the Gene Keys are an adventure that you can tailor to your own life, moving at your own pace and trusting in your intuition and imagination.
The great potential of the Gene Keys as a teaching is to awaken a powerful new creative impulse inside you, and as you follow this impulse you begin to witness the emergence of your genius. The central technique that makes this possible is Contemplation. Contemplation is something of a forgotten spiritual path. Unlike meditation, it does not completely bypass the mind, rather it uses the mind in a playful way to open new inner pathways inside our brain and body. It is through sustained gentle contemplation on the Gene Keys that we can affect subtle changes in our biochemistry.
The Gene Keys are designed to be contemplated and digested over time. Each Key contains a unique message, and each message takes time to absorb before you feel a change occurring in your life. Contemplation is far more than simply thinking about something. It is the direct imbibing of a universal truth at a physical, emotional and mental level. Therefore it is a good idea to begin your voyage into the Gene Keys with a sense of relaxedness and patience. To enter on a path of contemplation is to slow down inwardly in order that you begin to see things around you more clearly.
The Gene Keys are a new codebook of consciousness. To apply them directly to your life, you need to know which codes apply specifically to you and how. All biological codes are imprinted at specific times and those times can tell us a great deal about you.
When you read the Introduction to the Gene Keys, you will learn about your Hologenetic Profile. Your Profile is calculated from the time, date and place of your birth and can be accessed free online at www.genekeysgoldenpath.com. Once you have your Hologenetic Profile, your journey of contemplation begins in earnest, as it highlights specific Gene Keys that have a powerful bearing on your purpose, your relationships and your prosperity.
Your Hologenetic Profile invites you into a deeply personal voyage through the Gene Keys. Certain sequences of Gene Keys imprinted at your birth unlock doorways of awakening inside you, and as you contemplate them and apply their teachings to your everyday life, you may feel a new spirit coming alive in you.
There are three sequences:
The Activation Sequence – Discovering your genius through the four Prime Gifts
The Venus Sequence – Opening your heart in relationships
The Pearl Sequence – Attaining prosperity through service
Taken as a single integrated journey, these sequences are collectively referred to as the Golden Path.
As you contemplate the message in the Gene Keys you can pay special attention to those Gene Keys that comprise the sequences of your Golden Path. A full understanding of each sequence and its bearing on your life can be found on the website www.genekeysgoldenpath.com, through the Golden Path Program. This program is a step-by-step journey of deep contemplation into the forces that make you who you are. As you tread your Golden Path of contemplation through your sequences and their Gene Keys, considering and applying them in the light of your life, you will discover that you are treading a path of very powerful transformation.
There are many other ways to use the Gene Keys. You might like to use the book like an oracle, in the spirit of the original I Ching. You can open it at random in response to a question you have, or a challenge you are facing. At such times, the Gene Key you find yourself reading often has an uncanny knack of highlighting the hidden essence of the issue.
At the back of the book you will find a list of words known as ‘the spectrum of consciousness’. This lists the words for each of the 64 Gene Keys at each level of frequency. If you are experiencing a certain Shadow state or are on the receiving end of a certain negative behaviour, you can scan down the various words for the Shadows until you find the Gene Key that matches that state. When you read that specific Gene Key it can help you to see the hidden higher consciousness behind that state. This can greatly enhance your compassion, either for others or for yourself.
However you choose to use the Gene Keys book, it is intended as an ongoing creative companion, rather than a book that you read and then discard. Because the Gene Keys are an open system, you are invited to invent new ways of using them or adapting them in your life. The most important thing is to use your imagination and enjoy your journey.
It was a perfect autumn morning. The golden sun was just coming up over the Sibruini Mountains, lightly brushing the hoary frost from the earth’s sleepy eyes. One of the nuns let me in through a side gate and in my halting Italian I asked her the way to the sacred grotto. Kindly and without any words, she led me through a maze of monastic passages and down countless sandal-worn steps until finally I stood in that most magical of places.
For the next two hours I lay with my head on the same stone pillow where a humble hermit once spent his life in a daily vigil, waiting and praying for a vision of God. After three years, his vision was granted in a thunderbolt flash from the heavens, he emerged from his inner sanctuary and in time founded the greatest and most successful Christian monastic order in history. His name was St. Benedict.
I tell this story because as I lay upon that cold stone slab, I too experienced a vision, or at least the reflection of a vision. Suddenly and without warning I saw a pair of eyes looking at me. I have no recollection whatsoever of a face around the eyes, but as long as I live I shall never forget those eyes. They were the eyes of one who has seen the Truth, brimming over with the profoundest love and knowing. A single string of familiar words accompanied the vision and rang out like a mantra inside my head:
“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord…”
These were, I knew, St. Benedict’s eyes.
Many new things begin with a vision. The thing I have learned about all true visions is that they are not limited to a single event. Once the initial download has occurred, the vision begins its real purpose — to transform you into the heightened frequency of the original experience. This book sprang up around a vision and it conveys, in as much as words can, the core of that vision. The vision I personally received came long before the experience of seeing St. Benedict’s eyes. It came to me early in my life and I have carried it secretly inside me ever since. I might better say that the vision came out of me rather than to me, because as this book will testify, our destinies are written inside our very DNA.
Like St. Benedict’s vision, my own was a direct experience of the perfection of all creation. I too saw the future in my vision, but I saw it as already having occurred, which gave me the same conviction that I glimpsed in the hermit’s eyes. This book then affords a view through the universal eye — the eye that has already seen the beauty, wonder and certainty of the future of humanity. We are entering a new Solar Age and, like the sun, the Gene Keys offer nothing but optimism.
You are a living genius. Every human being is born a genius. I am not just saying you have the capacity to be a genius, but that you are one, right now. Your higher purpose in life is to share your particular genius with the world. But what is genius? The original root of the word refers to a kind of overseeing spirit or guardian who looks after a person. It also has a clear connection with the word gene, which is one of the reasons it has come to be associated with certain special people with a genetic hereditary gift of intelligence or intellect. Today when we think of genius we generally think of it as intellectual prowess, as for example in the case of Einstein.
I would like you to understand genius in a new way. To begin with, you don’t have to be intellectual to be a genius. Genius describes you living at your zenith. It is you living your life without holding anything back, owning and therefore transcending your fears. To be a genius is to have the courage to live life with an open heart, as a deep romance. As you journey through the Gene Keys you will be traveling through all the great human lives. Although their names may not be mentioned directly, you will recognise what it takes to live a great life. A great life does not necessarily mean a famous life. Out of all the people you know, think of a person you truly admire — not for their deeds, but for their character, their patience, their tireless optimism, their courage. Genius can thrive in the most mundane of environments.
Your genius simply makes you a truly joyous human being. That is your higher purpose — to be radiant for no reason other than being alive. Your genius can only emerge out of that inner radiance. If it doesn’t make you truly joyous, then it isn’t your genius. Your genius is the soil and your higher purpose grows out of that soil — whether it turns out to be a humble herb, a delectable fruit or a great oak tree. The Gene Keys are the gardening manual that will guide you through the growing process, but the seed is already there inside you, waiting inside your DNA.
You may also notice from the name of this book that the process of living your higher purpose has much to do with the notion of keys and locks. This is because your DNA is an actual code, and that code can only be unlocked when you have the right keys. We will learn more about how this works later on, but for now it is important to realise that you have in your hands a codebook whose sole purpose is to guide you into the field of your own genius. The universal keys are in your hands, but only you can discover the right keys and the correct order in which they fit your specific genetic code. It is a wonderful puzzle for each of us, and only our hearts can show us the way. The process of unlocking your higher purpose is one of turning the authority of your mind over to your heart. This alone will transform your life.
The Gene Keys are presented to you as a voyage, a voyage that will change your life forever. For me, the writing of this book has been an act of inner dedication and transformation. The transmission contained in each of the 64 Gene Keys has unlocked a new interpretation of my own genetic code at a cellular level, which has revealed my true higher purpose to me. Greater possibilities have wakened inside me, and a new and higher frequency continues to draw me out and beyond the negative patterns that we all carry through life. This has not always been easy. Much of the language and understanding of the Gene Keys is rooted in our unconscious fears. As you will discover for yourself, such fears are so tightly woven into your DNA that it takes real courage to confront them directly. However, fear is the raw material of the higher states, and it must be passed through.
As the first recipient of the Gene Keys, I have learned a few things that I wish to pass on to you, my fellow intrepid voyagers. The first is that the Gene Keys represent a living energetic field that exists at all times inside you. They are a wild wisdom rather than a systematic, logical process. This has been personally very challenging for my mind because I have discovered that there is no set pathway through your inner being. You have to work out these teachings for yourself, inside yourself. There is no guru or guide to show you the way. There is no technique unless you invent your own. There are simply gentle pointers which I will continue to share with you throughout this introduction. For me, the Gene Keys are more about dismantling concepts rather than adding any new ones. At the end of the day, the transformation happens of its own accord, simply because you are ready for it.
My personal voyage through the Gene Keys continues to open up new and daring panoramas within me. Above all, the Gene Keys have given me inner freedom. At times I have had to move on from many old systems, teachers and even friends because their views were neither compatible nor comfortable with such vast inner vistas of freedom. My greatest breakthrough with the Gene Keys took place as I came to write the 55th Gene Key, after returning from the USA where I had been teaching. This Gene Key is the activation code for freedom itself, so perhaps I should have been more prepared! However, as this Gene Key opened up inside me I was shocked to discover how deep was my terror of true freedom. I now realise that this is one of the greatest of all human fears, especially at this time in history — the fear of freedom.
When you read the 55th Gene Key, you will have a taste of what is to come for humanity. Indeed, the time we are currently living through is referred to throughout this book as the Great Change. It is a change that is taking place at a molecular level within humanity, and it is also impacting all natural systems and all creatures. Everywhere you look today — at the environment, our political and social structures, the world economy, religion, science and technology — you will see a world preparing itself for a leap in consciousness. Such times are inherently unstable and a deep collective fear of the coming change is moving like a spectre through our world. It is this fear that the 55th Gene Key directly challenges.
As I dove deeper and deeper into this fear and encountered the living transmission field of the 55th Gene Key within me, a vast and unbridled sense of inner freedom swept through my body like a tornado. I touched the simplicity of the freedom that comes when your mind is relieved of control over your life. The fear simply evaporated. Another far more powerful presence awoke inside my solar plexus and stepped into the driving seat. A new awareness dawned within me opening its eyes like a newborn baby in my heart. The rush was immense. Released from inside my DNA, light was pouring out of my body, connecting me to every conceivable aspect of the universe.
I learned then the great inner secret of DNA itself.
Your DNA is a wormhole. It contains a code that, when activated, opens up to the core of the holographic universe. As such, the DNA molecule is really a transducer of light. The more open the wormhole is, the more light pours through it. Like a torus, it both draws light towards itself and emanates it outward. Eventually, so much light will radiate through you that the wormhole itself collapses. The resulting supernova reveals to you your true universal nature as one with all creation.
This is the highest role of the 64 Gene Keys — to illuminate your path towards this final glorious flowering — union with your own Divinity. Then perhaps your eyes too will blaze with the fire of pure knowing, deep compassion and fearless freedom, as you emerge triumphant like St. Benedict from the cave of your old self.
Who, what and wherever you are,
if you are not continually transcending, then you are dying.
The 3rd Gene Key
As the Great Change gradually dawns within humanity, much that we now take for granted in the world will be transformed. One of the greatest shifts currently taking place in the human sphere is in the role of science. For hundreds of years now science has been founded upon the left-brain approach of observing nature objectively and making logical assumptions based upon empirical evidence. However, given that the new human being, homo sanctus, will no longer operate primarily from mental awareness, a whole new way of seeing the world will emerge. In fact, it will no longer be possible to observe life without being life. To a fixed modern logical mind this is not an easy thing to understand. A fundamental change is coming to our brain structure and even today we see its early manifestations. We are entering the Age of Synthesis.
True synthesis can only come about when the left and right hemispheres of the human brain are in balance. This means that a new kind of thinking is emerging in humanity. It is really not thinking at all, but knowing. For example, as you read the words in this book, there may be insights within it that you simply know to be true right to the core of your being. This kind of intuitive knowing becomes stronger and more consistent as your life becomes more harmonious. What is occurring is that you are tapping into a fundamental holographic pattern found throughout the universe. The same geometry found in your genes is also found in vast, wheeling galaxies. As the Great Change moves through your DNA, it begins to realign every aspect of your life, bringing you gradually into harmony with these omnipresent universal patterns.
The 64 Gene Keys herald this new approach to truth, since they are the core archetypes found in every conceivable aspect of our universe. The 64-bit matrix is integral to physics, biology, music, geometry, architecture, computer programming and most fields of human research and endeavour. They form the foundational tetrahedral structure underlying space-time itself. It is therefore no wonder that they continue to be discovered at the core of all natural systems. As we shall see, our very DNA is based on this same 64-fold geometry, making us a holographic microcosm of the entire cosmos. Many of the great ancient civilisations and wisdom traditions, including the Vedic, Egyptian, Mayan and Chinese, encoded this mathematical structure into their art, cosmology and science. Wherever we look, from the structure of our cells to the rhythm and movement of the celestial bodies, we see the same fractal patterns, endlessly repeating themselves in ever more unique shapes and forms.
One of the best-known systems based on this grid of 64 is the Chinese I Ching — the Book of Changes. This extraordinary system, whose mysterious roots date back thousands of years, is one of the major inspirations for the Gene Keys. Generations of sages and lay people have used the I Ching as an oracular tool to help them make clear decisions in harmony with nature. More than this however, the I Ching provides an extensive digital map of the energy dynamics within all living systems. This is especially fascinating because of its mathematical similarity to the genetic code. Many scientists, metaphysicians and mystics have begun to probe this striking relationship between DNA and the I Ching.
Without diving into a deep treatise on the subject, here is a simple version of the relationship between the I Ching and the genetic code.
Your DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides, one strand being a perfect reflection of the other. This binary pattern is also the foundation of the Yin and Yang of the I Ching. Your genetic code is also made up of four bases, which are arranged in groupings of three. Each of these chemical groupings relates to an amino acid and forms what is know as a codon. There are 64 of these codons in your genetic code. Similarly, in the I Ching there are only four basic permutations of yin and yang, which are also arranged in groups of threes known as trigrams. In the same way that the two strands of your DNA reflect each other, each trigram has a partner. Together these two symbols create the hexagram; the basis of the I Ching. Just as there are 64 codons in DNA, so there are 64 hexagrams in the I Ching.
This precise mathematical correlation between the I Ching and the genetic code allows us to create a new holistic language that resonates within the living cells of your body. In effect, the 64 Gene Keys are a Gene I Ching — a book that talks directly to your DNA.
Now that we have covered some simple background information on the Gene Keys we can begin to look at how they actually work.
I would like to invite you to approach the Gene Keys in a completely original way. First of all, I would like you to let go of all the normal rules you have learned for reading a book. This is not a normal book. It is a genetic download specifically designed to penetrate the building blocks of your everyday reality — your DNA. Secondly, as you enter into this process of digesting the Gene Keys, I would like you to begin imagining what your life would look like in your wildest dreams. It doesn’t matter so much what specifics your mind fabricates. What is important is that you recapture inside yourself a feeling of absolute inner freedom.
The Gene Keys process is about your giving yourself freedom, and this freedom begins in your imagination. You have to open yourself up to the highest possibilities of your own nature. As this process continues, it will most likely put you in touch with some very deep fears. The good news is that you no longer need fear these fears. We now know that they are inherited ancestral fears carried in the DNA of the bloodlines of all human beings. We understand that they had to be there for our survival as a species. The Gene Keys offer you the opportunity to face and eradicate each of the specific fears that stand in the way of your freedom.
Every day a scientist somewhere in the world discovers something new and amazing about DNA. Genetics is one of the hottest and newest frontiers in all of science. Even so, some of the greatest scientific insights in this field may lie way ahead in our future. But you do not have to wait for science to prove anything to your mind. You already have direct access to the laboratory of your DNA just because you are alive. You will discover that your DNA is simply waiting for you to input the right code. Once it has received your instructions, it will run the new program and build you a new body, a new life and a new reality. The evidence is lying within you.
Let’s take a little tour around your laboratory and have a look at some of the equipment nature has given you.
Take a moment to look at the palm of your hand and observe your own skin. It is made up of millions of tiny skin cells. Let’s take a look inside just one of those cells now.
The basic elements of a cell are threefold — there is an outer membrane, an inner mantle (cytoplasm) containing the working machinery of the cell, and a nucleus containing the cellular DNA and its instructions. You have about 60 trillion of these cells in your body, all with different roles and responsibilities. But most important, every single cell in your body right now is doing two essential things:
It is listening, and it is responding.
Each cell is listening to your environment through its countless molecular antennae embedded in the cellular membrane. This cellular skin interprets the environmental signals and relays the corresponding instructions to the DNA within the nucleus of the cell. Your DNA then responds by activating the necessary machinery within the cell. It is rather like the captain of a steamship relaying information from his lookouts down to the engine room. If the lookouts spot an obstacle, they alert the captain and he orders the workers in the engine room to either open or close the furnaces that drive the turbines or shift the gears that engage the propeller. In your body it is the same: the molecular switches in your cells tell the DNA which genes to switch on and which genes to switch off. This process goes on in all 60 trillion cells all the time, day and night, as long as you are alive. And you are designed to unlock the awesome molecular power stored within your body.
Now let’s have a look inside the engine room — the nucleus of the cell. Here we can see the familiar double helix shape of DNA. What most people don’t realise is that as a salt, DNA is a natural conductor of electricity. It is extremely sensitive to electromagnetic waves. Even a slight shift in your mood will create enough of an environmental signal to trigger a response from your DNA. Likewise a negative or a positive thought will generate a subtle electromagnetic current throughout your body that will stir your DNA into some form of biological response. Most of us are completely unaware of how our moods, thoughts, beliefs and general attitude literally mould our bodies.
Because of the heightened sensitivity of your DNA, everything in your life, from the food you eat to the people you live with, is co-creating your body via your attitude. Your attitude determines the nature of the electromagnetic signals that reach your DNA. For example, if you are having a bad day and find yourself in a negative frame of mind, this attitude will generate a low frequency impulse throughout your body. Your DNA will respond to this by shutting down certain hormonal pathways in your brain, and you will feel sad, depressed or frustrated. On the other hand, if you are having a bad day and are able to break out of your negative mindset and laugh at yourself, a high frequency electrical signal will reach your DNA and you will feel lighter and more joyful. Your DNA will respond by activating certain hormonal signals that will lead to your day feeling much brighter.
The process of programming your DNA through attitude is the foundation of the well-known placebo effect and is also the core of an important new branch of genetics known as epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how the environment affects your genes. This exciting new field of biology is far more holistic in nature than the old models we all learned at school. With epigenetics, when we extend the idea of environmental impact to the electromagnetic world of quantum physics, then it must also include human attitude. At a quantum level, your environment is your attitude.
What all of this means is that you can never be a victim of your DNA. Neither can you be a victim of fate. You can only be a victim of your attitude. Every thought you think, every feeling you have, every word you utter and every action you take directly programs your genes and therefore your reality. Consequently, at a quantum level, you create the environment that programs your genes. In the following section, we will learn more about how this works and how you can create the optimal environment to unlock the highest potential in your DNA.
This is the great secret that the Gene Keys hold — the secret of freedom. As you discover it for yourself, your life will be transformed before your very eyes.
In the beginner’s mind there are infinite possibilities. In the expert’s there are few.

If I had to say in a single line what the Gene Keys are, I would say they are a universal language made up of 64 genetic archetypes. If I had to say what the Gene Keys do, I would say they allow you to completely re-envision yourself and recreate your life at a level limited only by your own imagination.
The Gene Keys are also a transmission. In Buddhism there is a wonderful word known as dharma. It is one of those words pregnant with many dimensions of meaning. It points towards the existence of a higher truth or universal law pervading the universe. Because the realisation of the dharma is beyond words, its transmission can only be received through silence and deep meditative absorption. The Gene Keys are just such a transmission. As archetypes they each contain a fractal aspect of the same universal Truth. As genetic archetypes they allow you to resonate that Truth deep within each cell of your body.
This brings us to a very important point that you must know before you enter the living dharma-field of the Gene Keys. Because the Gene Keys are a transmission beyond words, they will not yield their secrets to an intellectual, grasping mind. The more you chase after them with your mind the more frustrated you may become. As archetypes, the Gene Keys are designed to be contemplated, and contemplation demands relaxation and patience. Contemplation is one of the greatest and least understood of the ancient mystical arts and paths.
There are three classic paths that lead towards higher consciousness; they are meditation, concentration and contemplation. Even though each path is markedly different, they all lead to the same final goal — absorption, which we will hear more about later. Meditation is the great passive art in which all forms, thoughts and feelings are simply witnessed exactly as they are. Over time, this continued witnessing gives way to the natural arising of great inner clarity, which culminates in an enlightened view of the nature of reality. Meditation is rooted in the holistic right hemisphere of the brain. Concentration, on the other hand, is the path of effort. Through concentration, you strive with your heart, mind and soul to reunite your inner being with your true higher nature. Most mystical systems and all types of yoga are based on the path of concentration. Concentration is rooted in the left hemisphere of the brain. Through a gradual process of continual refinement, this path too arrives at an enlightened view of the nature of reality.
Right in the middle of these two paths is contemplation. Contemplation utilises aspects of both meditation and concentration. It is rooted in the corpus callosum, that part of the brain that unites both left and right hemispheres. Contemplation involves a kind of cellular digestion. You take the object of your contemplation and you concentrate your whole being on it but without any effort or tension. In a certain sense you play with it with your mind, your feelings and your intuition. It is as though you are holding the velvet case of a diamond ring in your hands and continuously running your fingers gently over it, enjoying the sensation and the mystery of not knowing what lies inside. Then, at some unknown moment, your fingers suddenly and unexpectedly discover the tiny hidden catch embedded in the deep folds of velvet. All of a sudden the case opens and the treasure is revealed.
This is how the Gene Keys are best approached — in a spirit of deep relaxation. True intelligence is activated through the patience and softness of the heart, and only later confirmed by the mind. Here you need to be a lover of mystery with a beginner’s mind, rather than arriving as an expert determined to solve a riddle.
As you enter the Gene Keys you are stepping into a world of words. The words themselves are simply pointers and codes that invite you to move into a state that lies beyond words. All words resonate within the chambers of your body. They carry frequencies in and out of your being. If for example you take the word conflict and sound it silently within your mind, it creates an electromagnetic pulse that is heard throughout your body. If you then imagine the feeling that this word engenders, you send an even more powerful signal into the inner recesses of your physiology. Remember, your DNA is so incredibly sensitive that it hears everything and responds accordingly.
At the end of this book you will find a table of words known as the Spectrum of Consciousness. These are the specific word codes that relate to each of the 64 Gene Keys. You will learn that each Gene Key spans this spectrum and is divided into three levels or frequency bands known as the Shadow, the Gift and the Siddhi.
The Spectrum of Consciousness is your personal genetic programming language. It is really a neuro-linguistic alphabet, which is to say that as you apply these words and their meanings to your own life, they will deprogram and reprogram your genes with healthy high frequency electromagnetic signals. The goal of the Gene Keys is first to deprogram your DNA of all its low frequency patterns (the Shadows), then reprogram your cells with the higher frequency patterns of your genius (the Gifts and Siddhis).
For the sake of clarity, let’s summarise everything we have learned thus far before we move deeper into the language of the Spectrum of Consciousness and learn how to activate the Gene Keys themselves.
You have seen how your genes hold the blueprints of your nature, while it is the environment that determines how they are activated via the cellular membrane. You also know that the concept of environment must be extended to include your thoughts/feelings/words, all of which generate subtle electromagnetic signals that have a profound effect on your DNA. You have been introduced to the Gene Keys, a highly specific language whose purpose is to communicate directly with your genes in order to adapt their functioning and affect a transformation throughout your whole being. Finally, you have learned that the primary means of working with the Gene Keys is through the art of contemplation, a playful but sustained method of ingesting the truths that they contain.
As you begin to enter this new language of the Gene Keys you will be traveling through a world of vibrations. All life is simply vibration and, as we have seen, your DNA creates your life based upon the frequency of the vibration it receives. Fear generates a low frequency energy field, whereas love generates a high frequency energy field. Different frequency bands activate different codes within your DNA. For example, your body contains a code that when unlocked will manifest a feeling of peacefulness so profound it will actually silence the thoughts passing through your mind. However, your genes can only create this state when you send extremely high frequency energy to your cells. This is why such higher states are referred to as being hidden in your DNA. They are hidden by the lower frequencies, known as the Shadow frequencies.
The 64 Shadow frequencies are states of consciousness that many people consider normal in human beings. In some cases, we are even told these attributes are healthy, which is definitely not the case. The 64 Shadow frequencies form a collective energy field that is generated by ancient genetic memories from the time when we were part of the animal kingdom. The primary focus of the 64 Shadows is individual survival based on fear, and as such they always stimulate the oldest parts of the brain and its related physiology. Despite the incredible evolution of the human brain over hundreds of thousands of years, the group consciousness of humanity is still powerfully influenced by these ancient fear-based codes. No matter how positive you try to be in life, if you do not become fully aware of your own Shadow frequency patterns — your so-called dark side — you will never be able to unlock the higher frequencies.
This is the real work of the Gene Keys — to give you an inner language that allows you to face the unconscious fears at work inside you. Just by dint of being born, you have inherited some ancestral memories and fears that actually have no root in your current lifetime. They come from the collective human gene pool. When you work with the Shadow Gene Keys, you are working with real physiological fears lodged deep in your unconscious, as well as the collective unconscious. As your contemplation of the Shadow frequencies stirs up these ancient codes in your DNA, you will begin to see how much of your life and the world around you is governed by these frequencies rooted in fear. By bringing awareness to these hidden aspects of your unconscious on a daily basis, you will gradually and effectively disarm them.
