Victim patterns and their transformation

Let’s talk about victim patterns and their transformation. Richard Rudd studied and taught the Human Design system from 1997 to 2004 with Ra Uru Hu. Prior to that, he traveled the world for 10 years and studied oriental practices in Tibet. He became a Qigong Instructor and Master of Taoist Meditation Techniques and also holds a Master’s Degree in Metaphysics and Literature from the University of Edinburgh.

Even before meeting Ra Uru Hu in the east, he became interested in the I Ching and when he learned about Human Design, he began to study it deeply. In 2009, Rudd published the book Gene Keys, which he worked on for 7 years and is largely based on Human Design. But still, the doctrine of the Gene Keys is indirectly related to Human Design and is not its official direction.

However, this topic may be of interest to those who strive for self-development and living their Design, so I want to share my vision.

Richard Rudd talks about 64 Gene Keys, which correspond to 64 Hexagrams I Ching, 64 DNA codons and 64 gates in Human Design. Each of these keys is an energy that can be manifested in a person at a different frequency.

Three levels of vibration correspond to three levels of awareness:

Shadow – low vibrations feed on fear, “victim” pattern, unwillingness to take responsibility for one’s own life.

Gift is the highest manifestation of talent, which is given for realization in the world. Through acceptance, the Shadow begins to transform into a Gift, thus, the potential of the Gift is hidden in each Shadow.

Siddhi is the highest manifestation of the properties of DNA, when there is no longer identification with a person.

As Richard Rudd himself says: “Embrace the Shadow, release the Gift, embody the Siddhi.”

I’m not sure that everyone should embody the Siddhi, but the topic with the disclosure of the Gift is quite interesting. Rudd’s idea is that the energy of the Shadow and the energy of the Gift are essentially the same, they are distinguished by the level of vibration. In order to raise the frequency of the Shadow to the level of the Gift, one must realize the Shadow in oneself and accept it as a part of oneself. But it can be difficult to see this Shadow.

Below is a list of victim patterns for each gate. Its purpose is to help you move towards working with the Shadow by recognizing your patterns of thought and action. Those. find bindings and excuses that we use when we do not want to take responsibility for ourselves. Whether the circumstances are to blame (Gate 2), excessive emotions (Gate 6), or is everything too difficult (Gate 23). Do we feel like a victim of imposed obligations (Gate 29), our laziness (Gate 34), or do we feel that we are not appreciated enough (Gate 43).

Imagine a house with many rooms. Some of them may be light, but most likely all are dark. How can you choose which room to enter? By understanding your victim pattern, you light up the door of the room you should enter and even know what awaits you there. The room is still the same dark, but not so scary and unknown. Rudd himself says that he is still studying the topic of victims and invites us to study it too.

Take a look at this list and find yourself. Which one do you play when you want to be small and weak? What makes you angry and clinging about others when they communicate with you?

1st Gate

Victim of Numbness, Numbness.

Pure creative energy. Likes to express himself in creative, unusual ways. Not necessarily creativity in the literal sense. It can be any creativity in life. When we appear bright and unusual. When we have what to say and what to do. The peculiarity of this energy is that it is cyclical: that is, it is not. And this happens for everyone, and not only for the one who has the 1st Gate. Now there is a muse – then no. And that’s okay. This is the law by which creative energy works. If we do not know and do not understand this, and we want creativity to be always there, we begin to reject ourselves in a state of numbness. Lead to creativity. And when he is not: “I am a victim that I am not rushing.” The expectations of others are also superimposed here. For example, a classic situation: a person works in creative work and needs to write poetry every day, today he has inspiration, but tomorrow he does not, and something is expected from him. And fear arises: “I am not loved when I am not creative,” and the rejection of these states. The longer the rejection, the longer this state continues – it lasts.

Richard Rudd says that the Shadow needs to be transformed into a Gift. To do this, you need to apply to her 3 diamonds, which he found in the teachings of the Buddha. These diamonds are mindfulness, compassion and transformation.

Let’s take a closer look. Mindfulness helps to recognize the state of the victim and allow it to be. You don’t have to love the Shadow, you just need to let it be and catch yourself before you can act out of it.

Then, through compassion, see the Shadow as a part of your life, accept yourself in the position of a victim. Allow this state to penetrate deeper, become larger, give it space and time. Be patient, because each pattern of victim is needed for something and arises as a defensive reaction to fear.

Transformation occurs through love when you absolutely accept the Shadow as a natural part of yourself. Let your heart melt the Shadow. This is the evaporation of the victim.

It is very important to understand that no Shadow is eternal. “The shadow is just a short night.”

To evaporate the victim and transform the Shadow into Dar, Rudd suggests using the technique of contemplation. Start with one Gene Key, with one victim, and in contemplation, be aware of it in your thoughts, emotions and actions. Until attention and acceptance dissolve her solar plexus, the source of love.

To enter the state of Gift means to take responsibility for your path, your thoughts, feelings, words and actions, so that you no longer be a victim of circumstances or whatever.

The thing that hooked me the most about this topic is that the victim pattern is not something permanent and unchanging. It is common for everyone to feel fear and insecurity and therefore employ a defensive response in the form of victim patterns. But you can and should work with this, if you find some state of victim in yourself, then absolutely definitely you have the highest manifestation of this energy in the form of a Gift.
