In its original hexagram form in the Chinese I Ching, the 9th Gene Key has a rather unusual and cryptic name, which is commonly translated as The Taming Power of the Small. If you are familiar with the I Ching, you might recall another hexagram, the 26th hexagram, whose name is The Taming Power of the Great. Evidently there is a strong bond within these two archetypes and their Gene Keys. We can see that genetically they are indeed part of the same chemical Codon Ring and its amino acid threonine, which we will discuss later. As is often the case with these old Chinese names, they contain many layers of truth and possibility. In the case of the 9th Shadow, the Taming Power of the Small refers to the human tendency to become submerged in unnecessary and irrelevant details. Most human beings live lives where they simply get by, lives in which they become victims of all the details around them. At the higher frequencies, you tame the small by applying your energy only to that which serves your higher purpose. At the Shadow frequency however, the details tame you, sapping your life force, robbing you of your enthusiasm (the 16th Gift and programming partner of the 9th Gene Key) and eventually pulling you into the common human state of inertia and indifference (the 16th Shadow).
Deep within the substructure of your physical body lies a set of four chemical codes whose ultimate role is to determine how your body captures, stores and transmutes light waves into energy. This chemical family (which includes the 5th, 9th, 11th and 26th Gene Keys) is collectively known as The Ring of Light and in genetics it codes for the amino acid threonine. Depending on the frequency of light you allow to enter your DNA, different biochemical processes are initiated, affected and/or prevented inside your body by means of these codes. It is already well known scientifically how the ultraviolet frequencies within sunlight catalyse your body to produce vitamin D, a vital component of your physical health. Light contains many such catalytic codes within its spectrum that determine not just physical health but also emotional, mental and ultimately spiritual well being. The central message of the Gene Keys revelation concerns the power that you as a human being wield to consciously and unconsciously raise or lower the frequency of light entering your body, thereby altering your reality through the medium of your DNA.
When the ancient Chinese named this 4th hexagram of the I Ching, they gave it the wonderful name Youthful Folly, and in doing so, they showed a profound understanding of its lower nature. The 4th Shadow, the Shadow of Intolerance, is rooted in the mind’s habit of becoming tangled up with human emotions. Intolerance is best understood through its relationship to its programming partner — 49th Shadow of Reaction. Because human beings are governed by their emotions, the general emotional state of humanity is unstable and chaotic. We tend to react to our whims instead of attuning to the quiet clear guidance that lies within each of us. In reacting to our own and others’ emotions, we decide that what we feel must be the truth, and our mind agrees with us.
The 3rd Shadow lies at the core of all our beliefs that the human individual is basically powerless in comparison to nature or the infinite. This is the programming domain of both religion and science, the two cornerstones of human belief. On the one hand we have religion, which separates humanity from nature by the interposition of a God or gods, thereby creating a division in our entire unconscious reality. This reality must then be based upon the worship of either our own or someone else’s projection of what God is. Such a situation in turn creates the notion of free will and its judgment by the presiding deity. On the other hand we have science, which sees our nature as predetermined by our genes, which come pre-programmed only for survival, thus leaving all human beings victims of the vagaries of chance. In either scenario the individual comes off badly — we are either shown divinity only to be denied it, or we are shown freedom and then placed in a world of merciless competition in which only the lucky or strong can thrive.
As the most archetypically feminine of all the 64 Gene Keys, the 2nd Gene Key and the journey it represents contain a beautifully simple distillation of cosmic wisdom. If you wanted to describe the nature of humanity and the reason for our existence to an alien being, you would have to look no further than this 2nd Gene Key. As the 1st Gene Key tells the story of the great masculine principle of energy and light, the 2nd Gene Key grounds this story into the world of form. Even at the Shadow level of consciousness, this Gene Key teaches us that there is a purpose to everything in existence. At no point in evolution has anything ever occurred that was not a part of a huge interconnected plan. This is the truth that resides within the feminine principle — it is the binding force for all the seemingly disparate cells and events within existence, and in this sense it represents the great motherly embrace that pulls us all into a single unity. Your personal resonance to this great truth of our unity determines the overall frequency passing through your DNA. Whether you believe it, deny it, wish for it or embody it, the truth does not change. There is a force within the universe that choreographs everything, and it is found right inside you.
