Is Humanity’s Metamorphosis Here? | Richard Rudd

What if the challenges we face—both personal and collective—are signs of humanity crawling up the reed, preparing for a metamorphosis as dramatic as a dragonfly’s transformation?

This week on Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Richard Rudd—a teacher, mystic, award-winning poet, and founder of the Gene Keys. Richard shares the story of his remarkable three-day awakening at age 29, when he experienced what he now understands as glimpses through "the future human"—a state of pure light, intelligence, and complete absence of fear. This experience led him to develop the Gene Keys, a synthesis of ancient wisdom traditions with modern understanding that helps people transform shadow patterns into creative gifts.

In this conversation, Tami and Richard explore:
• Richard’s extraordinary three-day awakening and memories of both past and future consciousness • The dragonfly as allegory for humanity’s evolutionary metamorphosis—years underwater, then hours to transform
• Why 2026-2027 may mark a critical turning point—"the year of the closing door"
• The Gene Keys system: transforming 64 shadow patterns (like doubt, corruption, conflict) into gifts and divine attributes
• The art of contemplation as gentle, patient transformation—softer than meditation, more creative than mindfulness
• Why fear increases as old paradigms decline—and what’s emerging beneath the surface
• Strange attractors and signs that systems are preparing for quantum leaps
• Heart intelligence versus AI and the resistance of remembering what’s real
• How to harvest pauses, pivot perspectives, and approach shadows with gentleness
• The cellular certainty that awakening is "baked into every human being alive"

If you’re sensing both the collapse of old structures and the emergence of something new—if you feel like you’re crawling up the reed yourself—this conversation offers poetic wisdom and practical tools for navigating the threshold between worlds.
