Something I’ve been exploring is the Dream Arc, which is a new synthesis of the Gene Keys system.
The Dream Arc brings together wisdom keepers and teachers from a diverse array of traditions and backgrounds to form a playful, creative, shamanic approach to working with the Gene Keys wisdom.
Part of the Dream Arc is an animal codex that offers a specific creature corresponding with the Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi of every Gene Key (Fear, Life & Vision Keys in Dream Arc language).
As I contemplated the 53rd Gene Key, I was experiencing a parallel unfolding related to The Guardians of the Galaxy.
I just listened to an extraordinary podcast episode from Aubrey Marcus and Marc Gafni where they unpacked the core themes living inside of The Guardians trilogy of movies.
They explored themes like creating a chosen family (versus a biological one), how we can heal our trauma through service, and the cosmic joke of DANCING throughout the chaos of our lives and the universe.
And, how EACH OF US can be a guardian of the galaxy if we choose to accept the role.
Sidenote: The archetype of the “guardian” rings in my being with so much resonance, but that’s a story for another post!
Naturally, after listening to the episode, I embarked upon a journey to watch all three Guardian movies with my full attention.
They were funny, true, humbling, flawed, poignant, and beautiful.
They spoke to the nature of destiny, free will, a divine flow, and acceptance.
And the music! The music of these films! Incredible!
A few songs from the soundtrack ended up in this week’s 53rd Gene Key playlist!
After the playlist was curated and complete, I followed a tiny nudge to explore the Dream Arc animals for the 53rd Gene Key, which happened to be the Snake (Fear), Rabbit (Life), and Stork (Vision).
The Snake medicine really struck me, given the strong GUARDIAN energy that had been coming through during my contemplation of this Gene Key…
Excerpted from the Gene Keys Dream Arc // 53rd Fear Key: Snake
“I am Snake. I am a universal guardian, not just of this Earth, Gaia, but of this entire universe. I was there at the beginning. I was a key player. I, therefore, hold the keys to the greater vision of all humans. My task has been to hold the Shadow side of your nature. It is a thankless task, as is all secret transformation. If I have come to you now, then you too are being asked to become a guardian of sorts. Whatever suffering you have passed through, it has made you stronger and wiser. One day all this wisdom and light will be revealed in you so that other, younger souls may partake of it. This is what it means to be a planetary guardian.”
“We are here to be in the form, to master it, not to escape it and run away to some celestial place. We must finish with our suffering before we can move on. We must drink the final drops until it has all been transformed. Not a single one of us can be left behind. This is my great compassion. I was there at the beginning. I shall be there at the end, when the very last soul returns home. I will finally close the door on this chapter of evolution. Only then our job, yours and mine, will finally be done.”
We are all guardians. Of ourselves, of humanity, of this Earth, and of the entire fucking galaxy. If we choose to be.
The 53rd Shadow of Immaturity begs us to shine a bright light on our patterns, cycles, actions, and behaviors.
Where are we unaware?
Beginnings rooted in fear, scarcity, and stress ultimately thwart our efforts.
Actions performed out of pressure and urgency over intention and alignment create chaos and inflict harm.
It’s like we’re loading our bow with bent arrows.
And when we miss the target, we think there’s a problem with the target, or the bow, or the wind blew our arrow off course, or someone shouted when we shot the arrow and startled us…the excuses, reasons, and victimization are endless.
Unless we can grow our awareness that we’re shooting with BENT ARROWS!
It’s like this for our patterns and behaviors in life.
We are totally unaware that we’re behaving as bent arrows, not even questioning whether we’re perfectly aligned.
Immaturity is simply a lack of awareness. It’s a bit like ignorance in motion.
The 53rd Gift of Expansion establishes a key distinction for contemplation: Expansion vs. Growth.
Think about growth through the lens of reach and scalability. It’s MORE and BIGGER of the same. More money. More platform users. More followers. You get the idea.
Expansion may involve growth — reaching outward, expanding, more complexity — however, unlike growth, expansion always involves EVOLUTION. Learning and adjusting based on information and experience.
Growth looks like spreading. Like covering. Like pushing outward.
Expansion looks like like an upward spiral, the cycles become longer in ascending levels. Like inclusion. Like embracing. Like acknowledgment.
Expansion includes evolution.
As we contemplate the 53rd Siddhi of Superabundance, we are presented with the end of evolution.
Superabundance is beyond abundance.
Beyond time and materiality.
Beyond incarnation.
Superabundance is a pure state of being.
Consider that consciousness never evolves or changes.
Form evolves.
Form raises.
Form expands its capacity to perceive, sense, feel, and hold frequencies of consciousness.
Frequencies that have always existed.
Form represents our “awareness operating system”.
A tree’s awareness operating system creates a reality where consciousness is experienced through leaves and roots and photosynthesis.
Our human awareness operating system — our physical vehicle — is like the gatekeeper to our experience of consciousness.
As our form expands (grows + evolves), our ability to perceive higher states of consciousness expands…though the consciousness was there all along.
We’re like radios that can learn how to tune into new and different channels as our ability to perceive and process consciousness expands.
And we travel from lifetime to lifetime, held together by our permanent atom, a blue pearl, the seat of our soul, carrying our assignments to transmute the collective karma.
Superabundance is the state where we remember and understand consciousness as it truly is: pure, complete, beyond.
Here, there is no evolution.
Here, there is no karma.
All suffering is transcended.
This is the great compassion.
Working with the 53rd Gene Key:
Dance & move to the BEYOND playlist, of course!

Ask yourself: Where in my life am I shooting with bent arrows?
Practice mindfulness: The more we cultivate present awareness, the more we can master our human experience through our physical bodies!
