INTRODUCTION PART 1: UNLOCKING THE HIGHER PURPOSE HIDDEN IN YOUR DNA
They were the eyes of one who has seen the Truth, brimming over with the profoundest love and knowing. A
single string of familiar words accompanied the vision and rang out like a mantra inside my head: “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord…” These were, I knew, St. Benedict’s eyes.
Once the initial download has occurred, the vision begins its real purpose — to transform you into the heightened frequency of the original experience. This book sprang up around a vision and it conveys, in as much as words can, the core of that vision.

I might better say that the vision came out of me rather than to me, because as this book will testify, our destinies are written inside our very DNA.
WHAT IS YOUR HIGHER PURPOSE? You are a living genius. Every human being is born a genius. I am not just saying you have the capacity to be a genius, but that you are one, right now. Your higher purpose in life is to share your particular genius with the world.
Genius describes you living at your zenith. It is you living your life without holding anything back, owning and therefore transcending your fears. To be a genius is to have the courage to live life with an open heart, as a deep romance.
Your genius simply makes you a truly joyous human being. That is your higher purpose — to be radiant for no reason other than being alive. Your genius can only emerge out of that inner radiance. If it doesn’t make you truly joyous, then it isn’t your genius. Your genius is the soil and your higher purpose grows out of that soil — whether it turns out to be a humble herb, a delectable fruit or a great oak tree. The Gene Keys are the gardening manual that will guide you through the growing process, but the seed is already there inside you, waiting inside your DNA.
The process of unlocking your higher purpose is one of turning the authority of your mind over to your heart. This alone will transform your life. That is your higher purpose — to be radiant for no reason other than being alive
