This episode provides an introduction, an overview, and key take ways from two systems of self awareness I've been connecting with: Human Design (the first 13 minutes) and The Gene Keys. These systems provide practical knowledge for your optimal functioning as a unique individual, and a path of inner awakening for your personal evolution.

Discussed in the episode:

• Human Design's mapping of the 64 archetypes of the I Ching along the Zodiac
• The reality of astrology (we are porous and affected by external realities)
• Key Human Design Takeaway: Every person's optimal functioning is unique and different, specific to each person's design
• Different decision making styles (Human Design "Authority")
• Similarities between Human Design and neurodivergent awareness
• How The Gene Keys branched off of Human Design
• Human Design as a more left brain path of knowledge, Gene Keys as a more right brain path of wisdom
• Working with the Gene Keys if you don't know your birth date, time, and location
• Key Gene Keys Takeaway: "Every shadow contains a Gift." - Softening into the gold of the stuck and suffering places
• How the Gene Keys relate to genetics
• Three frequencies of each Gene Key: the shadow, gift, and siddhi
• The Golden Path's three areas of focus: Purpose, Emotions, and Prosperity
• The technology and art of Contemplation as distinct from meditation and concentration
• Conversing with Living Teachings, and entering into Spiritual Paths like entering into different relationships
• Focusing on one spiritual tradition or synthesizing many
• Know Thy Self
• My biggest Gene Keys Takeaway: Trust in myself, life, in slowing down, and being.
