Access Consciousness

Gorski article:

-combining energy medicine with a modern version of phrenology -claims made by the people who recieved access c: world peace! war and famine would go away, we could bring rain to a forest fire, -According to a video Gorski references"Being awake is not conscious; being aware is conscious." -?? not sure if this is access C or Jack Handy's deep thoughts: --distinguish humans from huminoids. Humans judge others. Humanoids: "recognize their oneness with the universe and they don’t pit themselves against it. look for ways to make things better. tend to sit in judgement of themselves recognise their oneness with their bodies and the world around them"recognize"

-"Ten Keys to Freedom: Would an infinite being really choose this? Everything is just an interesting point of view. Live in 10-second increments. Live as the question, not as the answer. No form, no structure, no significance. No judgment, no discrimination, no discernment. No drugs of any kind. No competition. Do not listen to, tell, or buy the story. No exclusion."

promotes living in the moment and not constantly thinking about the future. Seems much like energy healiing. Gorski states that the "no drugs of any kind" doesn't seem to refer only to recreational drug use such as alcohol, marijuana ets but to psychiatric drugs as well. Such as ADHD, anti depressants, anti anxiety drugs.Oh my! Claim that Ritalin has more hallucinogenic per weight than LSD.

The proponents claim that these drugs they don't want you to take "...invites entities to come into the body."

Includes elements of the prosperity gospel.

The tools used in Access Consciousness are Access Bars. Access Bar are 32 supposed points on the head where light, gentle touch improves health and emotions. Including sexual, monetary, healing, power, aging issues.

Touching the 32 bars is called "running the bars." To become an Access Bar practitioner a one day online course.



According to David Gorski in his article, "Access Consciousness: Phrenology fused with energy medicine ," Access Bars are smilar to phrenology and there is no good evidence that these ideas are linked in "...biology, medecine, neuroscience, or psychology..."

Gary Douglas is the founder of the program. 1995 but who "channelled" the Bars in 1990. Had a close association with the Church of Scientology Practice began in France 2010 and his been growing ion popularity since 2015.

Apparently practitioners of Reiki do well with Access bars since they are already familiar with energy! OMFG Doublas claims that access bars are very different than reiki craniosacral therapy acupuncture. Gorski claims they are all similar. Gorski states it is similar to Therapeutic touch.

Requires a beleif in energy fieldsm energetics that are manipulated by the practitioner.

She believes that horses pick up entities that she can remove. The cost to exorcise a horse, which can be done remotely is $400 (USD)

-psychologist Jeffrey Fannin ran an experiment using electrodes to show that having ga gentle scalp massage is relaxing. Jarry sataes that this is an obvious result that can be accomplished by taking a free nap.

Julio Mayo, runs bars on horses and claims to "unlock the trauma inside of horses’ cells."
