Richard Rudd

Richard Rudd (born September 7, 1967) is an English mystic, author, poet and international spiritual teacher. He is the author of the seminal spiritual tome, The Gene Keys and The Art of Contemplation, as well as several other books, courses and audio series.

Early Years

Born and raised in England, Rudd attended Stowe School followed by the University of Edinburgh. There, he immersed himself in comparative religion, esoteric mysticism, Jung and psychology, while earning a master’s degree in English literature and Metaphysics. After graduating in 1992, Rudd traveled the world extensively, and sailed across the Atlantic to the United States. There, he embarked upon a deep course of study with Taoist master, Mantak Chia, ultimately becoming an instructor of Qigong and Taoist meditation. During this time, Rudd met another Taoist teacher, Grand Master Hua Ching Ni - a renowned expert in the I Ching. Master Ni had a profound influence on Rudd, ultimately empowering him to become a mentor of the Integral Way, or in layman’s terms - a teacher of the Tao.

Awakening

Upon returning to England in 1996, Rudd had a spontaneous awakening experience that radically changed the course of his life. He spent three days and three nights in what he describes as ‘a state of embodied light and wholeness’, during which he received a powerful spiritual transmission. This remarkable experience was followed by a challenging seven-year integration period, during which Rudd struggled to come to terms with his glimpse of a higher reality. During this period, Rudd met Ra Uru Hu, the founder of The Human Design System. Rudd became an early student of Human Design which, along with the I Ching, would ultimately inform the greater synthesis that became The Gene Keys.

The Gene Keys Book

During his integration phase, Rudd embarked upon a deep contemplation of the I Ching. This contemplation unfolded into a seven-year writing project that amalgamated a multitude of different sciences, spiritual streams and transmissions, including genetics, biology, psychology, sociology, quantum physics, astrology, Tarot, Kabbalah, and sacred geometry, along with mystical, indigenous and esoteric knowledge from a plethora of different cultures and timelines. This synthesis ultimately became a book, The Gene Keys, which was published in 2009.

The Gene Keys Teachings

Having written the Gene Keys, Rudd then began sharing a stream of spiritual teachings related to the book, showing how it could be applied to one’s everyday life to bring about a deeper sense of purpose and fulfilment in one’s relationships, while greatly increasing health and prosperity. Because of their practical nature, the Gene Keys teachings continue to grow in popularity, and have brought together a worldwide community committed to modelling the higher principles contained in the book.

Family/Householder’s Life

As a spiritual teacher, Rudd is known for his gentle, rebellious spirit, and for modelling the householder’s path - encouraging his students and community to connect with the divinity in one’s everyday life, through family, relationships and work. Rudd goes out of his way to emphasise that he is an ordinary, fallible man, and in no way, shape or form a guru. Richard lives in England with his wife, Marian and their three children. Although similar names there is no relation to Richard Ruddie.
