The Line Between Access Consciousness Bars Facilitator and Certified Facilitator That Isn't.

First of all, Truth, is there really a line between the two types? Or is that what we have decided was so?

I just experienced something VERY interesting. For those of you reading this who have no idea what a Bars Facilitator is and what a Certified Facilitator is go HERE and HERE. Thanks.

So after a wonderfully fun day kicking ass teaching a Bars Class of my own yesterday I came home and just had a few moments to myself. That was until I logged into my email and checked my inbox. There was an email from Access regarding a change in policy with a few things that came up and was changed in the past week of Facilitators Training in Venice, Italy. One of those changes was a change that stated that Bars Facilitators are no longer allowed to create Access Related products.

This was where shit got interesting. Here I was totally happy and on cloud 50 when suddenly I'm pissed off and totally infuriated. I wound up sending back an email that said some things I probably shouldn't have and would not have if I had been paying attention. I got nailed with this wave of sheer anger and frustration. For about a minute I went from happy to psychotic bitch from hell in 2.0000093221 seconds flat. That was when I finally pulled the brakes so to speak and finally asked a question...

"Who Does This Belong To?"


This is an old Access tool that still works wonders. That was when I noticed it felt LIGHTER. Cool, none of that was mine. (FYI CLICK HERE for more details as to what this is). That was when I realised what I had just done. For starters, one of the many things I have learned about myself in my time so far in Access Consciousness is that I am really aware. As in VERY AWARE! Aware in ways that sometimes I wish I wasnt that aware of shit I really do not desire to even be aware of. Point being, in my awareness of being so aware, and on top of being a Bars Facilitator getting this email intended to update Access Facilitators of changes with policy, there were OTHER BF's who were reading said email. Whether everyone was reading it all at once or I just happened to perceive everyones heads all at once from the time they did actually read it it was in that moment I tapped into a bunch of other Bars Facilitators and what they were "thinking".

Note: Thinking stinks! Various different energies I perceived in that moment :  

"OMG! Access changes shit on me all the time!"       
                    "WTF? Just when I get something done they change it on me!!!  
"Why cant they just leave it the way it is?
                                                          "They can't make up their minds!"
             "What? I'm not allowed to create new things now?"
                                                       
    What? Next am I going to have to be a Certified Facilitator to be allowed to so much as Breathe?" 

....and so on and so on.... That was when I went "What the hell am I doing and who does this shit belong to?" I also sent in an apology for my previous email. Two actually. Especially since I know this behaviour is VERY not me. In this moment I tapped into everyone else reading that email who had a point of view about it and went crazy of shit that wasn't mine to begin with.

This also gave me the awareness that, that... RIGHT THERE is the reason for the change. Simply put a Bars Facilitator isn't trained to handle creating new Access related products and so forth. The fact some of us went THERE in that moment (don't bother lying, believe me I heard what was in some of your heads) is a really obvious reason for the change. One thing I have noticed in the past 3 years of being involved in Access is the "line" between what a Bars Facilitator can and cannot do has been getting blurred. At least, that is the point of view of people coming into Access since the Bars Facilitator licence was first introduced.
What people have been doing lately is getting TOO comfortable. Too comfortable with staying at Bars Facilitator level and not having the drive to move beyond it. As a result, people have been pushing the limits as to what a BF can do due to avoid having to go through what has been perceived as difficult in going through all the prerequisites for being a Certified Facilitator.

People have forgotten that a Bars Facilitator is designed to do one thing...

TEACH BARS CLASSES! Teach the Bars Process! Thats it! 

We take 3 Bars classes once to get the license and then take Foundation and Level 1 every year to keep our license active each year and pay $100 a year to renew it each year. Or do Level 2&3 or a Being You Class, or an ESB, or a 7 Day, or any of the more advanced classes at least once in between our license renewal dates. We get monthly tele calls to support us and help us through shit and we get support from Access when we come across what we don't have an answer for. When we do the more advanced stuff yes we become more aware and are able to handle changing ourselves.

However the one thing we are NOT trained for is dealing with other peoples shit when it comes up!
(Hell sometimes we are not able to handle our own shit for shits sake, thats why we go to a CF for help!)

Whether we Bars Facilitators like it or not, there is a reason for Facilitators Training. While I have not been through it myself (yet) I do know that if something is in existence there is usually a 99% reason for it being there.Certified Facilitators are just that...

 CERTIFIED! Says so right in the name. That means they chose to get off their asses, got out of their comfort zone, got their ass on a plane or two, or ten or more, got their ass to classes in person, spent time going through shit, have been through ALL the training and thus have been through the processing and energetic clearings and rearrangement and stuff that gets their shit out of the way and prepares them to be able to work on and deal with other peoples shit.

I mean, this is what CF's have to do to get to where they are today: (Quoting the Access Website)

How To Become A Certified Facilitator:

In order to become a Certified Facilitator for the first time you need to take these classes:
  • 2 Level 2 and 3 classes (after Level One)* you can do one round of Bars/F/L1 classes and then a second round, you don't have to take 2 bars classes before taking Foundation, etc...)
  • purchase and read the reference materials (you can only do this after you have completed Foundation, Level One, Level 2 and 3 classes and must have completed Level 2/3 within the last 12 months to order the reference materials)(email Mary Menger to request purchase)
AFTER ALL OF THIS
  • fill out the survey/questionnaire after registering for the facilitators class, this is based on the reference materials you read earlier
CF RENEWAL:
  • Attend ONE Level 2/3 class within the year
  • At least ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME attend an Advanced ESB or SOP class with Dr. Dain Heer (3 or 3.5 day ESB; 3.5 or 4 day SOP)
  • Attend the Facilitators class each year
  • To keep your facilitators license you must either facilitate or attend a Foundation & One each year.
  • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: attend Gary's annual re-write class of Foundation and Level One (currently twice a year)
Bars Facilitator: Hence the name- BARS Facilitator.... (Quoting Access Website again)

As a Access Bars® Facilitator you are certified to,
  • teach the Access Bars® Class
  • offer private sessions as a practitioner
  • host Access Bars® swaps
  • can facilitate intro talks on The Bars®

Prerequisites

The prerequisites include:
(Note: If you have previously been a Access Certified Facilitator in the last 4 years, you qualify and can make application immediately)
  1. You have completed 3 full-day Access Bars® Classes with 3 different Access Bars®(BF) or Certified (CF) Facilitators
Point being: Bars Facilitator =  Kick ass Teaching The Bars Process ... ONLY
Certified Facilitator= Licensed to kick peoples ass into a new reality.

Bars Facilitators are trained to teach Bars to people. NOT trained to deal with helping people in more advanced situations. So thus creating Access products as a BF does not make sense as we have not gone through what it takes to be able to work with people, EXCEPT when it relates to The Bars. 


What does that mean? Bars Facilitators are "less than" and "lowly" from Certified Facilitators?.... Hell NO! 


We are just Different!


We are a contribution in a different way. Bars Facilitators are the ones that go out and teach the amazing Bars process to new people and contribute to "spreading the world" about it and get people ready to have their brains kicked out enough so people start frigging receiving and are ready to get their asses kicked into a new reality by the Certified Facilitators! There is no competition or who is better than who, just a choice as to how far you are willing to go.

Some Bars Facilitators are BF's cause they like being there and thats fine teaching just Bars classes. Or they are also an acupuncturist or a chiropractor, or a reiki practitioner, or an EFT practitioner, or something and do Bars as a side product or service to their main one. Some just like teaching Bars period. Thats all cool! Nothing wrong with that! It doesnt matter. The thing is what hit me energetically last night when I got that email and read it and got a download from the heads of some people .... Holy hell! Really? Chill people!

Truth: How many Bars Facilitators are staying at the BF level because they are hiding behind it? You have all this awareness and gifts and talents you know you have yet you are too scared (excited?) to take the next step? So instead of going for Certified Facilitator you push the limits of what a BF can do to try to do what you really would like to do without actually getting up off your ass and doing it in a way that allows you to have your shit out of the way so you can actually help other people.. You are scared of who and what you really are capable of and what part of you that you have been hiding if you went to Facilitators Training and got your CF license. Some of us have been getting too comfy with staying at the BF level because we are too scared to get out of our comfort zones yet we are bored with teaching only Bars classes. We are humanoids, I get it, we do something once it twice then we are done with it. How many of us would really like to be able to teach something other than just The Bars, but there is a waterfall of nails between us and the clearings and things that will allow who we really are out so we can actually be in a space where we can actually teach those classes and create our own stuff, yet we are not willing to go through the waterfall of nails to get to that place on the other side? Are we are not willing to go through getting cut up and possibly injured or killed to get to where we really would like to go? Could an infinite being really be cut up, injured or killed? Or have we bought that we will be if we go for what we really choose to do, we think we can't so we are attempting to do what we are not ready to do in the first place? 
Some of you reading this are going to REALLY be pissed at me cause you know I'm hitting your buttons right now and you have not been willing to be aware of what you have been doing, and I'm a Bars Facilitator and you are calling me a hypocrite because I'm going here with this. Ok cool! Bring it on! Or remember that phrase called "Interesting Point Of View?" :)
You choose what you choose. I'm willing to admit as a BF I'm not trained to deal with other peoples shit aside from Bars. Are you? Or are you going to keep trying to make BF what it was never designed to be in the first place? 

Certified Facilitators are for one thing, Bars Facilitators for another. We are two different things.If you wanna be a Certified Facilitator and be able to teach more classes and create your own stuff and create material with Access products and your creativity level to be set free, get off your ass and go for it. If you wanna teach The Bars and teach just Bars classes, stay a Bars Facilitator. Thats what its designed for. BARS. Period. Choose to do something else? Go for Certified and see what you really are capable if you have been hiding from everyone that you never wanted to know you were capable of. And I say this for myself as well. I'm done looking at myself as less than and I admit it, I would like to teach and do things other than just Bars. I've been doing Bars for over a year. Time for something new!

What if there is no line between the two? What if it really is just a choice? Be whichever one works for you but stop trying to make Bars Facilitator into what it was never designed to be in the first place.
And whoevers crap I perceived last night... chill people! Holy hell, sometimes I hate being aware of shit. So Access changed something? Big deal, get over it! Access changes shit every 5 minutes. If you don't like change get the hell out of Access and do what really works for you. Simple. 

This has been an interesting day. While I know what you're thinking (sometimes unfortunately) I am not sure where you choose to go next. Personally while I have enjoyed it, its been fun, I'm bored being a Bars Facilitator, I've been here and done that. You may not be. I don't care how long it takes, be it 5 years or 10 years from now, and while yes I will keep my BF license active and teach Bars classes for anyone who chooses it and chooses me to teach it to them... I'm going for Certified Facilitator. 

How about you? Anyone up for cocktails with me in Costa Rica this year?

Truth: What is Your Reason and Justification for Not Having Money?

So here I was at 6:30 pm noticing I'm out of basic food staples for the month like butter, gluten free bread, milk, cheese, and coffee. My food stamp card was just reloaded so I went out tonight to get some basic stuff until I would go out and get the rest of what my body requires tomorrow or in a couple of days. I went about a couple of stores and got the stuff and on my way home I noticed I'm getting low on gas. Cool, what would it take for more gas for my car to show up and actualize?
A few months back I asked myself the following question...

"What Point Of View about Money do I have I don't know or remember I have that's creating my financial reality as it currently is?



Money has always been a strange area in my life. I have had moments where I had lots of money and moments were I was homeless and had all of $0.27 cents in my pocket. I never could quite "figure out" how to live here in this reality. I grew up in a family were we lived like we had tons of money when in reality my parents did not (they kept getting loans and refinancing the house I grew up in). Over the years my family sold the house, moved to Oregon, bought another house, then lost the house to foreclosure. Personally I have had money show up like magic out of no ware when there was something I REALLY desired and chose to do (like take Access Consciousness classes and become Bars Facilitator), and other times where there were things I REALLY desired to do and knew would contribute to me, and the money never showed up. I have had moments of struggle, moments like right now where I'm doing off the wall mini jobs under the table just to survive and make $3.00 a day (yes way UNDER the minimum wage). If someone chooses to come to me to teach them Bars then that's $200 or $100 per student. Cool! How does it get any better than that? In short doing whatever I have to. I have ups and downs in money frequently. Generally I will allow enough in to pay for what I absolutely must if money is the only way Ill get it, then I get rid of the extra so I go back to not having it. What the hell is going on??? 

So back to me driving home: I am at a stop light when out of noware the following "thought" popped into my head...

What if my finances are as they are because I am intentionally choosing to experience what it is like to live WITHOUT money?
I hit the gas and keep driving down the road when the light turns green, then next I ask myself:

"In other lifetimes, have I always had more money than I could possibly spend?" 
Yes

I got the awareness of how in other lifetimes where I always inherited it, or if I was born into a poor family I was married into a rich family, or born to parents with billions and billions of gold, or born into royalty, or born into a family that already invented something that generated and created lots of money, or "struck oil" or whatever it was.

"In all those lifetimes did I always have so much money I could pay someone else to do everything for me? And thus, I have never had to do or generate and create anything, including money, for myself before?"

YES. 

Think of it this way.... as an Infinite Being, you can choose to be and do anything. Put yourself in this space: nothing can hurt you and you can have or do whatever you choose when you choose it. So lets say you have never done or experienced something before and  you go "Hey! I wonder what that is like?" Like when you are a kid and you do something (stupid) like put your finger in a electrical socket to experience what an electric shock is like. Or you do something once to see what its like simply due to never having experienced it before. So I have been and done HAVING money before, lets try something new!

What if, I have never NOT had money before? 

Next I asked:

"Did I come into this lifetime to experience what living WITHOUT money was like because I have never experienced what that was like before?"

(This was when the tears started to flow).... YES!

"Did I come into this lifetime with the intention to learn how to generate and create my own money myself and do things for myself and what it is like to live that way as I have never had to do that before?"

YES! 

GAH!! OWWWWWCCCCHHHH!!!! Owowowowowowow!!!!! Oweeeee!!!!! GAHH!

I pull into the driveway crying and laughing historically at the same time, and all the dense crap energy I had my whole life went *POOF*!

Ok Universe! I claim, own, and acknowledge that I chose that! POC n POD that!

Now mind you I also noticed I seem to have come in here this lifetime on the "Novice Easy Level"setting for "Living without money" experience..... I always have made sure I had everything my body required to live. I always had at least a car with the heat or air conditioner to live it when things got "bad." I would get rid of the money so it made things more difficult so I can still experience what it is like.

I also realize I had the Point of View that I chose to come in here this time around and experience not having money due to a past lifetime where I was very wealthy (and a bit of a asshole in that life and since I had so much money it was always there, yet I also was not grateful for it being there.) and met someone who had no money. They asked me for money for food and I turned them down as then I had the POV they were just too lazy to "earn it" themselves. The next day I felt bad about how I behaved and went to go find the person to give them the money and apologize for how I treated them. I found out he had killed himself. In that moment I blamed me and judged myself for the whole thing and that was when I decided come back with no money to experience what it was like to live without it, with the point of view that having money was a wrongness. (Instead of just acknowledging "Ok! So I can be an asshole sometimes! How does it get any better that that?)

Ok, I claim, own, and knowledge I chose that. POC and POD that. Tonight I'm grateful for my life as it has been and for what I chose to put myself through.

Thank You. Now what would it take to change this? Ok I get it now, not having money sucks. What would it take for me to have so much money I can't possibly spend it all in this lifetime again?

What is YOUR reason for the crazy shit you do or do not do with money?
