Does your life feel like an emotional roller-coaster? Or do you feel like those around you are dragging you along on THEIR emotional roller-coaster ride? Have you noticed how all of this can distract you from what you’d really like to have and create as your life?
There is a reason for all of this! The reason that emotions feel so much like a distraction from what we’d like to get on with as our lives is that they are a particular kind of distraction. Gary Douglas, best-selling author and founder of Access Consciousness™, has called the emotions most people live with on a daily basis distractor implants.
Distractor implants consist of: anger, rage, fury, hate; blame, shame, regret, and guilt; obsessive, compulsive, addicted, and perverted points of view; life, living, death, and reality; business, life, relationships, fear and doubt.
The purpose of distractor implants is to keep you from seeing you. They’re like a dog chasing its tail. Does it ever catch it? No, but chasing it keeps him totally busy for quite some time.
“Who would I be without these?” you may be wondering. That’s exactly the point of getting clear on these distractor implants. Many people believe these emotions are essential to being alive. They believe they would be lost without them. And they might be. That doesn’t mean that you are required to choose to live by them.
“Fat chance!” you may be saying. When someone around you presents you with these passionate emotions, aren’t you required to do something about them?
What if it were possible for you to recognize these emotions, deal with them effectively, without allowing them to sabotage your own life? Your life could turn into the calm in the middle of the hurricane instead of the furious winds around it. What would that be like?
The first step in dealing with these distractor implants is to recognize them for the devious life-stealers that they are. That’s one reason why Douglas describes them in rhythmic sets of four—so you can memorize them, identify them, and stop them in their tracks.
Once you recognize that you or someone in your immediate vicinity is acting according to a distractor implant, all you have to do is recognize it, and ask to destroy all the secret junk underneath it. That secret stuff is often referred to as SHICUUUU, an Access Consciousness™ acronym for Secret, Hidden, Invisible, Covert, Unseen, Unsaid, Undisclosed, and Unacknowledged. In other words, it’s the deep dark secret stuff that keeps us stuck forever. You can ask to destroy all that SHICUUUU stuff, and you can add the Access Consciousness™ clearing statement if you wish (Right and wrong, good and bad, all 9, POD, POC, shorts, boys and beyonds).
Douglas’s clients have used these methods successfully for years. One woman who had the job of customer relations at an upholstery business was on the receiving end of lots of anger when upholstery jobs did not turn out as the customers imagined. When a customer called her up in a rage, she just “poc and podded” all that SHICUUUU stuff underneath that, and the customers came up with solutions to their own complaints within minutes.
Some of the distractor implants are relatively self-explanatory, like the anger, rage, fury and hate, and blame, shame, regret, and guilt. Others require more explanation. Obsessive points of view are those that people hang onto forever. No matter how much information is provided about them being incorrect or ill advised, the person hangs onto that point of view. Compulsive points of view are those that people seem to have no control over. They may claim they would like to look at things differently, but they find themselves slipping back into that old compulsive point of view as if they had no choice.
Addictive points of view explain and justify addictions, of course, as in, “The only time I feel peace is when I smoke a joint.” But it’s not only substances we are addicted to. Addictive points of view can drive us to sex, shopping, spending, excessive exercise, and anything else creating distractions from the greatness of us.
Perverted points of view, as distractor implants, refer to our taking on a points of view that differ from this reality—say in enjoying some sexual act, for example, that others might define as perverted. Instead of just honoring our own points of view, we align and agree with others’ judgments and conclude that we are perverted, when in fact we are only different from the dominant way of thinking around us.
But what about sex? Life? Living? How could those be damaging? Why are they distractor implants? “It’s not an either-or universe,” Douglas is fond of saying, and that definitely applies to some of the distractor implants. They’re not always detrimental—but they do often function as limitations.
Sex when joyful, relaxing, and an expression of life is clearly a gift, not a limitation, but how many people have sex from that space? If you have to prove anything, if you’re coming from judgments, then you are smack dab in the middle of sex as a distractor implant.
Life and living refer to the treadmill view of life that many people assume is all there is to life. “He who dies with the most toys wins” is an expression of this. The assumption that the goal of life is to achieve the white picket fence, the ideal looking relationship, the kids and the grandkids as soon as possible is another view of life that creates limitation for everyone who believes they must fit into that mold and doesn’t.
Business, too, can be a distractor implant. If your life is your business or you owe all you have to your business—bingo, that’s a distractor implant. Who created the business? You did! When you do not acknowledge that, you diminish your own potency by failing to acknowledge it, and you limit your own choices as well.
Relationships can bring joy and add to the lives of people who are in good ones—but how many relationships do you know of where each person is an addition to the other’s life? If you’re one of the majority of folks who would rather be in any relationship, no matter how bad, than in no relationship and be branded a loser, that’s a pretty good indication that you’re living a distractor implant.
Fear is a distractor implant because you as an infinite being cannot know fear. You as an infinite being cannot be destroyed, even though your body can. When there’s an emergency, do you truly fall to pieces, or do you become cool, calm, and collected and handle everything? If you answered, “Cool, calm, and collected,” then that’s a great indication that you don’t actually know fear. You may, however, be very good at picking up the fear of those around you. Is that really in your best interest?
Doubt, too, is a distractor implant. It’s one of the major ways we stop ourselves from showing up as the greatness we could be and we came here to be. Giving up the indulgence of doubt can remove some major obstacles to you creating what you’d really like in your life—which is part of you seeing the greatness of you.
Can you imagine what your life would be if you never indulged in any of these distractions? Would there be room for a lot more greatness to show up?
Gary Douglas is starting a teleclass that goes into these distractor implants—how to identify them even in their stealth versions—and how to move beyond them forever. It starts February 6 and is open to everyone. It could be a major step for you in discovering how truly great your life could be.

Sincere thanks for this thorough discussion of the distractor implants. I’d understood enough, energetically, to begin clearing on some of these when they show up, about a month ago. AND, the information and suggestions herein are allowing me to be more aware of the subtleties of how they may dress themselves up.
With gratitude,
