INSIGHT

Bridge Between Old Decline And Inner Rebirth

Evolutionary shifts come as a bridge where old systems decline while new energies sprout subtly inside people.
Richard Rudd says we see concluding forces outside and nascient inner rebirth that will unfold over decades.

INSIGHT

We’re Entering A Long Healing Cycle

Sri Yukteswar's corrected yuga model places us in a rising current, not yet the golden age, but moving toward a silver (Treta) yuga of repair.
Rudd frames this as a long healing cycle where inner transformation precedes large outer change.

ANECDOTE

Dragonfly Metaphor For Rapid Ascents

Rudd uses the dragonfly life cycle to illustrate rapid visible transformation after long unseen preparation.
He describes long preparatory eras followed by fast evolutionary leaps like a dragonfly's three years underwater then hours to fly.

Almost 10 years ago, I was reading The Gene Keys when I came across something that stopped me in my tracks—a prediction about a massive shift happening from 2020 to 2027.

And then 2020 happened. And we all know what came next.

Today, I'm sitting down with the creator of The Gene Keys himself, Richard Rudd, to understand what's actually happening right now as we move through this portal—and what's coming on the other side.

In this episode, Richard reveals:

🦋 Why we're not heading straight to the golden age (Satya Yuga) but first into the silver age (Treta Yuga)—a long cycle of healing where we repair everything we've broken

🌱 Why Sri Yukteswar corrected the Vedic yuga calculations and what that means for us now

🧬 The superpowers dormant in our DNA that make AI look like medieval technology

🌍 The split happening—some going deeper into the matrix, others returning to the land

Richard explains that according to systems theory, when a system is about to collapse and shift to a higher frequency, you see strange attractors—anomaly events that create chaos. The pandemic. Political upheaval. AI exploding onto the scene. These aren't random. They're contractions coming closer together before the birth.

By the end of our conversation, I feel this deep sense of peace. Not because everything is fine—but because everything is exactly as it needs to be.
