The Activation Sequence: Discovering your Genius

Rate this book
Those of us who are privileged enough to have time to contemplate our purpose have a special responsibility to the earth to bring this essence into the world. There still exists much suffering in the world, and every time we incarnate even a small aspect of the greater ideal of a better world, we fulfil our higher purpose. This is the true meaning of your Activation Sequence.

Great reference work for anyone curious about themselves

This book is more of a reference companion to the Gene Keys and The 64 Ways. Also not a read once and you are done. I have it on Kindle, but there is a part of me that wants it in hard copy to feel the pages and flip back and forth as needed.

So much information packed into this little book. I will be contemplating on what I resonated with in the Gene Keys book. It's not just an instantaneous review of your design and your life, it's over the course of time. Time to perfect and live in your design. Heading onto Book 2 now. I have a feeling I am really going to enjoy this journey of self exploration and knowing in a different way than the 101 million ;) books I have read on self-help, spirituality, astrology etc...over the years.

A book to keep close

So much packed in this book!

I've followed Richard's work for over a year and it's delightful every time.

The activation sequence gave me the framework to contemplate my 4 Gifts and it was a surprisingly quick read - although I know I'll keep this book close to revisit and find new gems as my journey evolves.

The Contemplation that Transforms your life

Richard is speaking words that touch your at the core, realign your physical emotional mental body from the inside out like an exquisite masseur. This book helps me so much in understanding and activating myself. So grateful.

I'm so happy that I discovered Richard Rudd and the Gene Keys this semester (Fall 2024). The algorithm suggested it when I was looking for a copy of the I Ching for my World Religions class. Synchronicities abound. "Algorithm angels," as one of my friends on YT coined. It is a good introduction to the Gene Keys - sort of helps you feel grounded as you are also going through the 500 page reference book - the 64 Gene Keys book. I also have Venus and Prosperity is coming. I think the 4th one is not written/published yet, but probably in 2025. As others have mentioned, you can read it in a few days, but it will be something you continue to return to, especially if you write your information down from your profile inside of it. Rudd suggests you work through your Golden Path for a minimum of 2 years because it is all about continual contemplation. I also appreciate the language of the "shadow frequencies" as I am continuing to go through the works of Carl Jung. It is nice to have someone offer an articulation of my shadows in a list of 11 as it is a solid place to start. A lot of inner work and healing feels like guesswork, so this helps. But you do need to go to the website and figure out your profile, and as well either go through the online course or buy the 500-page book for more information on the particular spheres that are your focus.

it was very interesting to dive into the explanations on how to tread the path, where to go first even though everything is interconnected.
what I particularly like about these books is the explanations of the lines and how they make up the individual, cuz the gene keys alone are something to contemplate but including the line is what makes it round and gives you a deep innerstanding if your self.

Very insightful. I'm still soaking it all in. Short easy read, but one you'll come back to as you deepen your contemplation. I'm writing this review feeling like I'm contemplating what I just read. I may come back and update this review.

For fans of human design, astrology and the I Ching…finding the gene keys has been like discovering the grail. It really helped me to start to make sense of human design. As well as universal design.
