Former NFL running back Ricky Williams is downplaying any lingering concerns about his involvement with Access Consciousness, a controversial spiritual group headed by Gary Douglas.
Aaron Randle of Complex passed along comments Tuesday from the always eccentric 39-year-old California native about his relationship with the group. The link first generated attention back in 2012, when Williams' foundation took in a $50,000 donation from Douglas.
The official site for Access Consciousness states it "offers pragmatic tools to change things in your life that you haven't been able to change until now." Craig Malisow of the Houston Press did a deep dive into the group in 2012, which utilized the phrase "Scientology knockoff" to describe the organization.
