The Genius in our DNA - The Sword in the Stone
I was recently listening to a presentation Richard Rudd, the author of the Gene Keys, gave during a conference where he mentioned one of his favourite childhood myths; that of King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone.
During the 7 years I have been journeying with the Gene Keys, I have explored many of Richard’s presentations and I always seem to hear something fresh and through new ears. The point that sparked my interest this time was the analogy he gave for the Genius in our DNA: the Sword in …
