Access is about facilitating you to be your own expert, rather than rely on
someone elses truths. Access will never define you or in any way limit
what you can be or do or create or generate. Wow! Ive never known
anything to be so liberating, if a bit scary at first!
There are many other ways that set Access apart. While it was not obvious
to me at first, I soon realized that every other modality I had tried was
based on judgment. There was always a given about what was right, what
was wrong, what was good and what was bad. These judgments were
assumed to be truths, rather than what they were someones arbitrary
point of view. Not only that, but anything based on judgment sticks us in
polarity. Its essentially a binary system that cant be overcome. Access
operates from a space of no judgment. Its about consciousness.
Ive noticed that in the past few years, many of the popular self help and
spiritual gurus are now talking about consciousness instead of love. Its the
current in thing. Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness,
has been talking about consciousness for over 25 years, and as far as I
know he is the only one who actually gives a definition for it. In his words:
Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing. How different
would your life be without judgment? What if you didnt have to be ruled
from some fixed external set of whats right and whats wrong for you.
What if you had the tools to learn to not judge yourself? Might your life
open up in almost unimaginable ways? Mine certainly did!
The emphasis on effective tools and techniques is another thing that sets
Access apart. While some modalities offer a few techniques, there is
nothing out there that Ive seen that has so many powerful and effective
tools and techniques. These are not given with any specific expectations
of what one is supposed to achieve by using them. There is just the
awareness that the tools will assist people in clearing away what has been
limiting them. Each person is encouraged to use the ones that work for
them best, and to create the targets that resonate with what they would like
to achieve.
In Access, question and choice replace answer and prescribed ways of
acting and interpreting the world. I never realized the power of asking and
being in the question until I began using it everywhere in my life. Instead of

and he responded with: Im so happy for you to have more of you! Never,
in my life before Access, has anyone been truly happy for me to have more
of me! Why? It might interfere with who they want me to be for them or
what plans they have for me, or it might contradict the rules and beliefs of
their particular paradigm. Access is about being more and about creating a
life that is ever expanding. In order to conform to the beliefs of other
modalities I tried, I always had to contract myself and be less.
Access is the only thing I know that encourages and facilitates you to go
beyond all contexts in creating who you are. Thats right creating not
finding. As infinite beings, we can be and do and choose to be and do
anything. Not as a democrat or a Buddhist or a scientist or a husband or a
female, but as one beyond definition. Yes, you may choose to play a
certain role, but there is an awareness that the role is not you, its just
something youre choosing for the moment. Ive often met people who
believe that they are empowered by a paradigm or a role. Now that I know
Im an alcoholic and that God has removed my addiction, Im free to be
me. Actually no you are not! (Been there, done that one). What I
mistook for freedom was actually defining myself by the paradigms, myths,
beliefs and definitions of someone else. None of that had anything to do
with the infinite beings that we all are! Access has shown me what true
freedom is!
With the Access Consciousness, Ive learned to function from being rather
than doing, which is where most people in this reality function from. Whats
the difference? Functioning from being brings an awareness of the energy
I am being in any moment and how that plays a huge part in what shows
up, and what I can create in my life. Functioning from being opens up
choices and possibilities, while functioning from doing is always about
some solidified decision Ive made. I used to try to do all of the right things
so that I could be successful, (according to someone elses standards), or
prove that I was a good person, (notice the judgment). It was doing in
order to prove that I was being something. Now I dont need to prove
anything! How does it get any better than that?
Im grateful everyday, for the tools and techniques and information Ive
received and continue to receive, (Access is always changing, as each
person who participates in classes contributes their unique gifts), from
