Access Consciousness®️ has a very different point of view about many
so-called “disabilities.
What if autism, OCD and ADD are abilities?
OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), autism, ADD (attention deficit
disorder) are called disabilities in this reality. In Access, we look at them as abilities. They are the X-Men generation coming to fruition, the mutation of the species into an advanced form. The change of the species is beginning.
We don’t call them disabled at all, we call them highly able. A lot of people who have OCD, ADD, and autistic capacities have a level of brilliance that does not fit this reality
In this episode I have a conservation with Gary Douglas about Access X-Men.
Gary M. Douglas is the Founder of Access Consciousness.
Bestselling author, international speaker and business innovator.

What is it that you would like to have as your life? What would you like to create? What would you like to choose? Welcome to Discovering the Miracle of You podcast. I am your host, Rachel O'Brien, and I invite you to know that you can change anything in your life that is not working for you, and you can create anything you desire. Yay! Hello, everyone, and welcome to Discovering the Miracle of You podcast, and today I get to talk to and have a conversation with one of my favourite people in the world, Gary Douglas. Hello, Mr. Douglas. Oops, I can't hear you.
Gary:Mike, I'm using my accent. Okay. All right. How's that? Better?
Rachael:Yes.
Gary:Good to see you, Ms. Rachel.
Rachael:Oh, thank you. And I love your shirt. Gary's wearing a shirt with sheep and sunglasses.
Gary:Yeah, it's from my days of feeling sheepish.
Rachael:I can't believe that you were ever sheepish, but okay.
Gary:I have moments, but they usually don't last very long. 10 seconds, that's enough sheepy.
Rachael:So, I wanted to talk to you today about one of my favourite works that you brought to the world, which is the Access X-Men speciality.
Gary:Yes.
Rachael:So, this work has transformed my relationship with myself, and I would love everybody in the world to know that it's available. And I wonder, could you just talk about how the work came to be?
Gary:Well, what it turned out is we had some people who showed up with kids who were diagnosed autistic. And it's like, I'm always in question. I don't come to conclusion, and I ask them, what do they mean by autistic? Well, they don't have proper function. Well, neither do I. So, since I don't have proper function, what kind of function do I have? So, I was willing to ask questions, and from the questions came this awareness of a different possibility. There was one session I had with a young kid. He was six, and he had a nine -year-old brother, and it was in Simone's apartment in Australia. And I watched him look at the refrigerator, look at his mother. I watched his mother get up, walk towards the refrigerator, and said, oh, Simone, do you have any juice? And she turned to the boy, and she goes, would you like some juice? And he goes, ah! I went, you do get that he already told you that, and that's why you were getting up and going to the refrigerator. She goes, what? I said, he's communicating with you telepathically. He doesn't have to use words. I looked at his little brother, his older brother, who was nine. I said, you hear him, don't you? And the kid went, and just nodded slightly. That's when I realised how amazing people who are autistic actually are. Because at that moment, I realised that they are the evolution of the species to a higher order, not us having a problem. And I would like to see more of these people coming to the fore.
Rachael:Yeah, me too. And I love the way you say that they have these amazing capacities. And the way that they work is so different. They can be missed, you know?
Gary:Well, it's not they can be. They are missed, because they don't accept what's normal. We assume normal is what we should be working for, rather than what if we worked for this, where we were this far ahead of everything? What if we started creating our whole lives from being ahead of all games? What would we create? What would be possible? What could the world look like in a short period of time? See, one of the things I'm always looking at, is like I learned from these guys, is they always look for what's possible beyond what is normal. So I started asking, what is possible beyond normal? What is possible beyond this? What is possible beyond what is standard operating procedure? And all of those questions opened doors to me, to things that shouldn't have worked and did.
Rachael:And that's the part, the things that shouldn't have worked and do work. I just came back, I was in Abu Dhabi, and I just did an X-Men class there.
Gary:Cool.
Rachael:And there was this gorgeous kid in class, Mohammed. And he's nine years of age. And he said, my father tends to do what other people do. How can I fit into his world? And he already had downloaded his dad's reality. And he was looking at a way to connect to him. And it was so interesting. I asked him a question like, how much do you care for your father? And he said, I care for him so much. And what if you didn't ever have to fit in? What if your difference is a gift? And that's the part that requires to be nurtured.
Gary:Yeah, yeah. And most people don't get that and don't know it. It's like, I love, both of my grandsons, Grace's kids, are X-Men. It's like Xander can hear you thinking, okay? He talks about things, he thinks about things, and I know he's thinking about them. So I ask, and I got, because he was, Estella went there to take care of him for a few days until his dad got home. And Grayson is, Grayson duplicates other people. And he can hit a tennis ball like a 40-year-old. It has the same thwack, the same sound, the same distance. He's amazing. He's eight. So his brother, who turns 14 this month, I went, what am I going to get this kid for his birthday? And I could feel him thinking about something. I said, so what is Xander talking about? And so Estella told me. And so I had a friend go online, find it, and I bought it. And I'm having it sent to his house for his birthday, which would be very funny.
Rachael:It's actually, you know what? You've led me into looking at something different. As you know, I'm married to an X -Men.
Gary:Yes, you are. And he doesn't have a clue.
Rachael:He is so psychic. He is so brilliant. He is so brilliant in what he questions, the way he sees things. He's always looking at the next choice and where it leads to.
Gary:And he's always looking at the future that's going to be created by the choice he makes today. 99% of the people on the planet don't do that.
Rachael:Yeah.
Gary:He's in the top 1% of the world in awareness. And he thinks he's normal.
Rachael:Which I find very funny. What I wanted to ask you about is when X-Men have support in regard to other people, honouring the capacities and seeing the capacity as a gift, not a wrongness, does it stimulate their capacities?
Gary:Yes. The thing is, one of the things that's happened with Grace is she sees her kids as the X-Men they are. She doesn't address it as X-Men. She just addresses them as them. And because she does that, they grow in their talents in different ways, in ways that other things wouldn't suggest. And Xander is a whiz kid. He's mathematically a genius. He's scientifically a genius. He's a genius in a thousand ways. And I see him talking to Liam Bramley, who's one of the smartest people I've ever met. He talks to Liam, and the two of them are like two 40-year-olds talking together. And it's like, you're 13, he's 38, and you talk like you're on exactly the same page all the time. And they are. I think it's wonderful. And having people who treat kids who have these talents that way changes the way they function in the world. Because they don't look to how they're wrong, they look to what they can do. And that's the way it should be. We should be getting people to look at what they can do, not how they can be wrong.
Rachael:It's so funny. On my flight to Abu Dhabi, there was a little girl next to me, and she was four. And her parents were saying, oh, she can't walk fast off the plane because she's four. And I looked at her, so the projection, and I looked at her and I said, I bet you can walk faster than me. I'm faster than you, you know, just playing with her. So I get up to the entrance of immigration, and she just pops her head up and says, Hi, I won!
Gary:I love it. I love it. You played into the possibility. If people would play into the possibility of these amazing people, a whole different world would open up. And that's the way it should be, and that's where we should be functioning from. I don't see many people doing that.
Rachael:No, no. And the thing about it is, it's so easy for me to be that with them, to see that possibility.
Gary:That's not because you're an X-Man at all.
Rachael:Exactly, exactly.
Gary:Sheep.
Rachael:And we don't follow the sheep. And I would say that's one of the biggest struggles, is that we're here to shake things up.
Gary:Yeah.
Rachael:We're here to...
Gary:Well, the thing is, David Kubes and Chris and somebody else are doing a Leaders for the Future. Huh? Megan. They're doing Leaders of the Future. And Megan's son is autistic, too. But he loves sports, and he takes it out in sports and does amazing things with it. And I see lots of sports people are autistic, that are extremely good at what they do, and don't know how they do it. They don't know how they do it because they just are it. And you cannot describe what you are, you can only describe what you learn. So they have these abilities.
Rachael:That's brilliant.
Gary:Yeah.
Rachael:What you just said.
Gary:You should be looking at that. Yes.
Rachael:That's brilliant.
Gary:I'm brilliant. What can I tell you?
Rachael:You are.
Gary:I'm not autistic. No, I'm not autistic. Oh, yeah, I am.
Rachael:You're the biggest X-Man I know. What is the one tool that you give someone who has an ADD kid? That's one of the things that I hear a lot from moms. Like, what is it that I can give this kid?
Gary:What question can you ask him that will help him recognise what he's capable of?
Rachael:Nice.
Gary:What question can I ask him that will allow him to recognise what he's capable of? And Grace always asks her kids. But I did things like with my kids, when I was raising them, I'd go, that's hot, you might not want to touch it. Not, that's hot, don't do that. Don't touch that. We always say, it's hot, you might want to consider that. And they'd put their hand there and they'd feel the heat and they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't touch it. Where everybody else I knew, they'd tell their kids not to touch it so the kid would touch it.
Rachael:Yeah.
Gary:And I learned that if you give people information in a way in which it allows them to choose, they will choose what is greater for them than what is greater for you.
Rachael:So true. I've been, you know, I moved to the UK last year and due to the move, I've been around Shannon. Your other daughter, a lot. And by being exposed to her, you know, she really, we talk in, we talk particularly in Access about perceiving and feeling. And for me, this has been one of the game changers that I would like, I would go to a feeling and I would own an energy instead of perceiving. And since being around Shannon, I'll walk into her, like even just being a tiny bit stressed. And she was like, where were you? And I would have been teaching a class. And she was like, is that yours? Just like so succinct with energetic awareness.
Gary:Yeah. Yeah. Shannon is a lot like Temple Grandin. I don't know whether you've ever watched the movie.
Rachael:I have.
Gary:If you have an autistic kid, you need to watch that movie. You need to learn how their life is and how their reality is different. It's the most important thing we need to see is how they are different. And it's OK. It's not wrong. And that makes a huge difference, a huge change for them and for you.
Rachael:Totally. And this perceiving thing of being able to pick up, you know, this morning, Andrew is in check and I just said to try. Oh, I must send Brett the link. And two minutes later, my phone beeped. Can you send me the link for the meeting tonight with Gary? And so that's like a couple of thousand miles. And I know that I do this.
Gary:Not a couple of thousand miles. It's across the street. I mean, that's across the street. That's not a couple of thousand miles. And you got to get that people will hear you. I think the great news is that if we have one of these volcanoes that goes off every 650,000 years that goes off, we will lose communication through phone. What are you going to do without your phone? What am I going to look at? I won't have anything to look at all the time. But it's like if you start to function from that, you'll still pick up all the information you need about who is where and who's thinking about you and who needs.
Rachael:Exactly.
Gary:And you will find a way.
Rachael:This is so beautiful. You know, when you said to me it's across the street, I had a lady in the class as well in Abu Dhabi. And I don't know if you know this, but the Saudis fired a missile at a ship in Yemen. And the ship in Yemen had Emirati military cars on it. And so she's sitting in her office. And all of a sudden she's like super stressed and she compresses and contracts. And then she hears the news. And instead of her point of view, she was in a place. And so she couldn't be aware of what was going on. And she had all the details.
Gary:She knew everything.
Rachael:She knew everything. And so that part that you just said, it's across the street. We function not from a place, but it's a space where everything is.
Gary:Yes, a space and a magical moment of what is actually possible. What's the magic moment of possibility that we turn down all the time? We deny. I couldn't call you about this. What? How do you know? What do you know? What are you aware of? Things will be different.
Rachael:Yeah.
Gary:It's going to be interesting when they finally realise that they really need still telephone lines. And they've taken them all out now.
Rachael:I just adore the way that you see things. It's truly magical. And so we have this class. You, me, Alison and Arthur in the ranch in Houston. January 7th, 8th and 9th. I'm going to say I'm honoured to be part of this.
Gary:You should be, because you're an autistic idiot. Which is why you're honoured. Because you see that we're talking about you. And we're trying to give you a place where you can be more. And start using your awareness to create a future that can be different here. And that's the thing I'm trying to get everybody to choose. Choose to be the difference you are to create a different reality for everyone. Because we need it.
Rachael:We do. And the biggest thing is that if you're out there and you get stuck when people tell lies. Most people live from the delusion of what isn't. Instead of being present with what is.
Gary:Most people are delusional. What? I know, I agree.
Rachael:And so for me, I thought I was wrong. Because what people would say. I thought it was like, am I crazy? And so what has shifted and done a full turnaround for me is. Now I know I'm aware. And I can receive the crazy and the lies. And not be affected.
Gary:I thought it was very cute. Because I sent out a thing the other day. And I went, okay. So is this person this kind of thing? Or am I crazy? And the person sent me back a note and said yes.
Rachael:Yeah. You always.
Gary:Yes to both. Yes. Yes to both. I'm crazy. And they are what they are.
Rachael:Yeah, but you're a good crazy.
Gary:Thank you. I'm glad you think so.
Rachael:I do.
Gary:S ome people don't.
Rachael:I do. Because I know your type of crazy is going to create a greater world. And a world that.
Gary:That's all I care about is a greater world. Because it's like. I'm 83 and a half. I'll be 84 this year. And it's like. That's old enough. People don't need to live to be. You know, 99 or whatever. But I figure I'll go for 120. Just because of a little fuck with people. And I like fucking with people. I like fucking people. No, never mind. I like fucking with people. Leave it at that.
Rachael:So we warmly welcome you to this work. Thank you. And the education and the information is so required and so beautiful.
Gary:It will help. I think a whole lot of people. And it's like. I mean, I had. I did an introductory class. And they were Pete. There were some people that came in the class. And they said their kids were. They had three kids that were autistic. Diagnosed. Certifiably. And I say, well, you need to. We have a hard time getting them ready in the morning. This isn't this. I said, well, give me the whole picture. Stop trying to get them ready. Say, hey, we have to leave in this amount of time and you need to do this. This and this. Can you do it? Ask your question. And she said, all three were ready on time and fully dressed, which has never happened my entire life.
Rachael:I had you gave me this tool when I came to one of my first classes. You gave it to me with Dara and who's autistic. And now you talked about sports. He's running football teams in Toronto. That's his speciality where his autism plays out. You know. And I know that he wouldn't have that future only for these tools.
Gary:Yeah, I'm so glad that's great.
Rachael:It really is
Gary:He's happy.
Rachael:Yeah, it is. It is. So thank you for being. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for bringing these tools to the world.
Gary:Thank you for being in my life. And thank you for being the autistic that you are.
Rachael:Yeah.
Gary:So say hello to your autistic husband for me.
Rachael:I will. And he adores you, too. And come join us. If this is pinging for you, you know, if we trust that you will know if you are required to be there.
Gary:Yes. And just look at it and ask, am I autistic? And trying to deny it is you might have some talents and abilities you don't realise. OK?
Rachael:Exactly. Thank you so much.
Gary:Thank you.
Rachael:See you soon.
Gary:Take care.
Rachael:Bye.
Gary:Bye.
