The Beginning and Future of Access Consciousness.
Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, sat down with his daughter Shannon O’Hara for an intimate glimpse behind the scenes as Shannon asked her dad key questions about the beginnings.
Have you ever wondered:
- How did Access Consciousness® start?
- What was it like at the beginning?
These are some of the questions that Shannon asked and the disarming and surprising responses:
Gary:
“What it initially was like was a lot of work with no apparent results.
But I had the point of view: never give up, never give in, and never quit.”
The first Access Bars class Gary ever did came out of an invitation to go and give a channeled massage.
I didn’t know it was about consciousness.
So initially, Gary thought he had to heal people’s bodies before they could choose and before their choice could lead them to consciousness, which, of course, he soon discovered was not the case.
The purpose of Access Bars is to teach people to receive.
Now lots of people may brush this off. Somehow, receiving is never the objective in our lives. Receiving is not a quality that is often seen as something of value.
Gary didn’t realize that Access Consciousness was about consciousness until about a year into it.
Shannon: “So, The Bars help us to access more consciousness?”
Gary: “The Bars unlock us from all the places we have chosen unconsciousness.”
We are taught not to receive and not to BE.
You don’t learn about receiving, perceiving, knowing, and being. It’s not something we get taught at school, and, as a result, it’s not presented to us as worthwhile.
Few people besides Access Consciousness talk about receiving, perceiving, knowing, and being eloquently and in ways that we can understand – or in ways that we “get” what makes it desirable and how it relates to our lives.
