“If you were able to enter into that contemplative heart mind, that's how you see life, you empathize with everything and everyone and every view…. I think it's a hopeful time because from that field of empathy, you can feel into the future. You can feel the future human because… if you can drop into that, that empathic resonance with everything, you realize that all humans can do that. And because all humans can do that, all humans will do that one day.

And of course, you might say, well, if we don't destroy each other… and I my empathy doesn't say that that happens. It doesn’t feel it. I feel into the universal consciousness… universal love. And love does not destroy itself. It goes through all kinds of wild experiments to get to feel itself. But self-destruction as a permanent state is not one of its agendas.”
- Richard Rudd

In this episode, Lisa speaks with Richard Rudd, the author of The Gene Keys, about the intersection between spiritual contemplation and music. This beautiful and optimistic conversation centers how the The Gene Keys can be used to expand our exploration of how we might move from polarized division to harmony.  In the process, they cover a range of terrain, including their late, mutual friend Don Rosenthal and virtues of empathy, refinement, and even marriage on a path of devotion.

”From the siddhic level of the 50th Gene Key, everything is experienced as music. Individual notes are threaded along a universal score that gradually becomes sweeter and sweeter to the ear as evolution reveals deeper and deeper harmonies.”

Gene Keys referenced in this episode: 13, 25, 29, 50
