“They’re a map of your inner landscape, of your consciousness. And they’re a very precise map showing you your shadows, the dark sides of yourself, or the challenging aspects within your life. And they show very precise pathways to embrace these shadow sides, and find the gifts that are latent within them.” — Jessica Harshman
Moving Into 2025
Your support for my mission to harness my media background to serve the global community of people working to integrate individual, inter-generational and collective trauma is profoundly meaningful to me.
Thank you for your time, attention and trust.
May your 2025 be blessed by ever deepening experiences of coherence, at all scales; moments of full-body resonance in response to encounters with truth; and graceful opportunities to serve as a channel for the Healing Intelligence in your interactions with individuals and groups, as your impact assumes new and unexpected forms.
To make it easier to weave connections and spark initiatives among Resonant World readers, I’ve activated the subscriber chat — which you can access by clicking the below button. The chat’s open to all readers, though it may at times be used to stage deliberations of the Resonance Council (paid subscribers).
The chat will support discussion of the core themes of Resonant World — from the practice and principles of collective trauma healing; to the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the climate crisis; trauma-restoring journalism; quantum social change; and my personal process of integration and learning.1 (There is also a sub discussion for Tarot enthusiasts on how to use this remarkable system to empower individuals and groups).
Please do feel free to jump in and introduce yourself in the cat — I’d love to learn more about your interests and any questions you’re walking into 2025.
Hope to see you there!
Resonant World #124
I can distinctly remember the first time I heard of the Gene Keys.
It was April, 2019, and I was at the Climate Consciousness Conference in Findhorn, Scotland, and saw Richard Rudd’s book by that title sitting on a table.
Something about the phrase struck me, but I didn’t bother to pick up the book — back then the words ‘Gene Keys’ sounded to me like New Age pseudoscience.
Either my mind has opened, or I’ve slipped further from my moorings — but I’ve since developed a fascination for the system that — while not yet on a par with my unexpected love affair with Tarot — certainly comes close.
I owe much of my newfound interest to Jessica Harshman, a fellow student of the two-year Timeless Wisdom Training in the principles of integrating individual, ancestral and collective trauma, run by Thomas Hübl and team, which we completed in December 2023.
A Gene Keys guide, Jessica produced such valuable insights via my ‘Hologenetic Profile’ — as Gene Keys charts are known — that I was hooked.
I love how these profiles offer precise maps of our shadow patterns (self-defeating ways of thinking and acting), the gifts they contain when faced and transmuted — and even how these gifts might potentially manifest as quasi-superpowers (known in the Gene Keys as Siddhis, after the Sanskrit word for special abilities achieved through rigorous spiritual practice).
In this episode, Jessica walks us through the basics of the Gene Keys, and how a Hologenetic Profile works, using my chart as an example. We explore how the Gene Keys can help us gain new perspectives on our lifelong struggles — and offer actionable guidance to mine the gold hidden in our rejected parts.
This episode aims to:
Quickly convey Gene Key basics, and how they might help you
Demonstrate a new set of tools for shadow work
Empower us to transmute feelings of inadequacy, failure, unmet expectations
Summarise the Gene Key prophecy on 2027 and the ‘future human’
Ideas that intrigued me:
The possibility that the Gene Keys could provide a precise, personalised map to help us progress with shadow work more rapidly — a kind of “cheat sheet” to inner work
How the Gene Keys originate from Human Design, the first system to show the inter-operability (synergy) of seemingly distinct esoteric systems: Western Astrology; the Chinese I-Ching; the Hindu-Brahman Chakra system; the Zohar/Kabbalist tree of life.
Were the Gene Keys an example of higher dimensional wisdom ‘downloaded’ from outside spacetime via a visionary experience?
Is humanity undergoing a rapid shift in consciousness, or evolutionary update, as foretold by the Gene Keys and other prophetic narratives?
Questions I was left with:
How might an understanding of the Gene Keys complement my training as a trauma integration facilitator?
How can I find opportunities to dive deeper into my Hologenetic Profile?
Will my interest in Gene Keys alienate some readers who might question the validity or utility of channelled or prophetic material?
