If you’ve ever found yourself staring out the window, wondering when life will feel exciting again...
If the sparkle has faded and the thrill of “something coming” feels like a distant memory...
You’re not broken. You’re not numb.
You’re probably just remembering what it’s like to be human in a world that sells fantasy and forgets feeling.
“Anticipation is the original language of childhood.”
Let’s talk about Gene Key 41.6 — the start codon of the entire genetic sequence. This isn’t just the beginning. It’s the beginning of beginnings. The buzz before the thing. The hum before the light turns on.
What Is the SQ, Really?
The Sphere of SQ (Spiritual Quotient) is where your body remembers how to love.
It’s not a skill. It’s not a technique. It’s the feeling that lives deep in your belly — before words, before thoughts, before outcomes.
Gene Key 41 is the key of Fantasy → Anticipation → Emanation, and Line 6 is all about Patience — the rare kind of patience that holds still, listens deeply, and lets life come to you.
“In Decrease, there is the potential for great gain.” — I Ching, Hexagram 41
Remember When You Knew How to Feel?
Think about it.
The night before Santa came.
The butterflies before your first school trip.
The heartbeat that sped up when someone you liked smiled at you.
You didn’t have to try to feel it.
It just happened.
That’s the gift of anticipation.
And that’s what we lose when we let fantasy hijack our bodies.
The Fantasy Trap
We’ve all been sold a fantasy.
- Perfect relationships.
- Effortless abundance
- The one soulmate who will read your mind, meet your needs, and never trigger a wound.
Advertising, fairytales, and even spiritual communities feed us the story that fulfilment is just one fix away.
But the Shadow of Gene Key 41 is Fantasy — and it’s sneaky.
Fantasy isn't just daydreaming. It’s the subtle addiction to what could be, without ever fully arriving in what is.
“Fantasy is a pressure to create a better world, warped into an unhealthy need to satisfy inner desires.” -Richard Rudd, Gene Keys
And here's the thing: fantasy often feels like anticipation… until it collapses. Then we’re left disappointed, bitter, or checked out, wondering why nothing quite feels real.
Anticipation Is a Whole-Body Experience
Gene Key 41 lives in the Root Centre. That means it's not about ideas. It's about pressure, impulse, and embodiment.
When the Gift of Anticipation is alive in us, we don’t just think something beautiful is coming — we feel it in our bones.
But we can’t fake anticipation. We can’t force it. We become it when we come back to the moment, when we remember how to breathe into the unknown.
“You don’t have to fix your life to feel joy. You just have to stop holding your breath.”
Anticipation is the tingle of aliveness.
It’s the creativity that wakes you up.
It’s the magic of now... stretching softly into what could be next.
So Why Does It Feel So Far Away?
If you're reading this and thinking, “But I feel numb” or “I don’t even remember what joy feels like” — please know:
You’re not alone.
You’re not behind.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You might just be moving through the Shadow. That part of the path where fantasy was your safety net — and now you’re learning how to land without it.
This is where Line 6 shines: Patience.
You’re not supposed to feel it all right away.
You’re not meant to push.
You’re meant to allow.
And yes, that includes allowing the numbness, too.
How My Venus Stream Carries the Thread
This month, I began noticing how SQ 41.6 weaves itself through all the threads of my Venus Stream:
- 47.3 (Purpose): The alchemist in me wants to transmute oppression into transformation. I often get stuck in mental loops about the past, trying to find meaning. But 41 whispers, “Feel forward.”
- 44.4 (Attraction): The patterns I attract often reflect a desire to merge in order to feel safe. The programming partner of 41 is 31 — Leadership. And I notice where I want to lead without fully trusting the unfolding.
- 24.3 (IQ): My mind’s addiction to replaying things, trying to analyse everything before it happens, has robbed me of so much spontaneous joy.
- 16.3 (EQ): My emotional pattern has been to swing from indifference to hypersensitivity — being seen as “too much” or “not enough.”
- 25.3 (Vocation): The heart of it all — the wound of constriction. And the Siddhi? Universal Love. What a calling to live into…
And right in the middle is 41.6 — the one who carries the dream of the whole, the pure creative impulse. The one who connects the Root to the Emotional Centre through the Channel of Daring (41–30).
No wonder I’ve felt stuck. No wonder the body has been tired. The dreamer in me is learning to feel again.
“Anticipation is the electricity of presence. It’s the aliveness of now, stretching into the mystery of what’s coming.”
Healing the Inner Child (and Her Expectations)
There’s a version of me who waited up for Santa.
She knew how to feel. She trusted wonder.
And somewhere along the way, I taught her it wasn’t safe. That joy came with a price. Those dreams would disappear.
That version of me got tucked away behind adulting, responsibility, and the performance of "having it all together."
But she never left.
“Your SQ is the place where your inner child still remembers how to love.”
She returns in moments when I’m not trying — when I’m playing with my dogs, when I laugh at nothing, when I let the wind carry my attention.
She brings me back to the real kind of anticipation. Not the kind that needs perfection. The kind that simply trusts that something beautiful is already on its way.
Collective Healing: Why We Numb
There’s grief here, too.
Grief for the love we were taught to earn.
Grief for the joy that was conditioned out of us.
Grief for the “better life” fantasy that kept us disconnected from the one we’re already living.
“You don’t have to be perfect to be radiant. You just have to be present.”
The gift of Anticipation doesn’t override grief — it lives through it. It holds it like a soft animal in the chest and says, “You’re allowed to feel all of this. And you’re still safe.”
This is how we reclaim the frequency of joy — not by skipping the hard parts, but by becoming whole inside them.
Building Anticipation Again
Here’s what I started doing — maybe it helps you, too.
- Create micro-moments of wonder. Hide a note for yourself. Plan a spontaneous outing. Make something simple feel special again.
- Feel forward. Instead of fantasy, feel into the energy of what’s calling you. Don’t fix it. Don’t plan it. Just feel the pull.
- Name the magic. Write down one thing each day that surprised you. Let the ordinary reveal itself.

Emanation: Becoming the Frequency
Gene Key 41.6 holds a holy kind of magic.
The Siddhi of Emanation is not something you try to be. It’s what you are when you stop trying to be anything.
It’s the love that radiates when you let yourself be fully human, no longer edited, performed, or suppressed.
It’s the moment you realise that joy, anticipation, tenderness, and even sorrow… are all expressions of life moving through you.
“Emanation is the moment you stop trying and simply become the frequency you’ve always been.”
So… What’s Coming Next?
Honestly?
I don’t know.
And I don’t need to.
That’s the whole point of anticipation.
It’s not about control. It’s not about outcomes.
It’s about becoming the person who can feel again.
And when you do, everything changes.
You notice the light shift.
You sense the tide turning.
You feel joy in your belly for no reason at all.
And that’s when you know:
something beautiful is already on its way.
Ready to awaken your anticipation again?
Take the first step by exploring your SQ, your breath, and your body.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
There’s just more life waiting to be felt.
With love,
