Akashic Records Information
The Akashic Records are the repository of all human experience; past, present and future. They exist at a preconscious level so that we might, without bias, share our individual journeys here in this dimensional reality with one another. This is our unedited link to each other, the place where we are truly one. For most people this sharing happens at an unconscious level through intuitive insights or hunches and through the synchronicity of life altering events. For others, those who have conscious access to the Akashic Records, there is a direct unbroken link to the collective mind through the Akashic Records that reveals all immutable events for individuals, groups, cultures and nations.
Commonly asked questions concerning the Akashic Records
What exactly are the Aka-sa (Akashic Records)? The Akashic Records are the repository for all known human events. Every event, from the descent of human consciousness into this dimension, to the ascent out of this dimension is contained within the preconscious fields of the Akashic Records.
Where are the Akashic Records? The records are non physical in nature and exist within the frame work of the collective mind, which is 4th and 5th dimensional in nature.
How do they work? To use an analogy; imagine a computer programmed to automatically copy and store everything that is imputed, even retaining copies of information and applications that the user has discarded. Imagine this computer as a part of a global network of computers, continuously linked with the purpose of sharing information as a way of expanding each computer's ability to interact with its user. As with all computers, this computer is able to function at incredible speeds when duplicating functions. This allows the user to concentrate their energies toward creativity. The computer hardware is your physical body. Your five senses are the keyboard; the hard drive is your subconscious mind and your conscious awareness is the user. The network is the Aka-sa.
What is our role? If all events are known, then they must have already happened. This is an accurate statement. Then how is it that we experience a progression through time? It is our response to the events that gives dimension to the illusion of linear time/space. Without our response, and the ensuing integration of the data into the collective mind via our senses, the events of this dimension would have been experienced as a flash of energetic substance within a void. All the events would have been recorded without a response. The only aspect of Creation that is unknown is our response to the events within Creation. We are here to fill in the space, so to speak, between events with our response. In doing this, we as individuals are the senses of Creation. Creation, as the expression of the whole, then knows itself through our progressive discoveries of ourselves as we encounter the events of Creation. You may elect to respond in any manner you choose. Response is free will.
Of what value is the ability to know past and future events? We all choose a pathway of events prior to incarnating. Being able to 'see' the events that will help shape the balance of our life, as well as the incomplete responses of past life events that are impacting our present experience, helps us to release the fear of the unknown. Once we have released this fear we automatically expand our response to upcoming events, and express our true (authentic) nature between and through fixed events. As we expand and enlarge our response to the chosen events, we become acutely aware of the most direct path to the enlightened state and avoid many of the unnecessary negative response patterns afforded through our fears of "what if," and "if only." While it is true that the events cannot be changed, it is also true that our response to the events shapes the outcomes, which create the circumstances between events. When we drop fear and survival as our way and enlarge our response, we enlarge the outcomes and circumstances.
How do we access the Akasha? There are many techniques for accessing the Hall of Records. And the most important aspect of any of these techniques is the desire to do so. Once you learn the pathway into the records, the only reason why you would not be able to "see" would be the fear of what might be revealed. We move consciousness through our minds with symbols. The script at the end of this handout uses symbols to take You to the doorway of the Akasha.
More about the process. The Aka-sa, like all introspective activities, requires us to momentarily release our personal history in favor of an internal, worldless, formless state of existence. We must see our past and all its many remembered states as only having probably happened. At that moment it is possible to release the ego's control of the future with its many "what if" concerns. Here the male (fn1) (the intellect, thought, motivator of doing) joins with the female (the heart, feeling, motivator of being) and creates the mystic's mind. Once we have entered the mystics mind (the state of mind where all duality ceases to exist), we are free to explore the realms of past and future probable selves as aspects of our Greater Self. Don't be surprised if you feel discomfort with this part of the process. The act of dropping duality is unpleasant for many because it appears as though they are being asked to let go of their personality selves in favor of something that only looks probable.
Past information in the records includes images of the event and how you responded. Your response to the events of the past shaped the outcomes of those events, and the outcomes created your circumstances between events, which in turn effected the time between events.
When you look into the future you see exactly the same type of information, with this exception; you have not responded to the events, so there is no response to observe in future records. No response, no apparent outcomes. No apparent outcomes, no apparent circumstances.
If this is the case, how do we look at future events with any meaning?
When looking at the future, you must look to the past. If there are karmic influences coming from past lives, and an event in the future is similar in nature to the events related to the karmic influences, you can give a very high probable outcome concerning the future event. The quality of this "cosmic speculation" improves with practice and varies from reader to reader. This type of speculation also accounts for why one reader says one thing about a future event, another says something else. After all, speculation is colored by our personal experiences of life, not by our spiritual understandings.
As was stated earlier, we are only our response. When we identify with more than our response, we are existing in the illusion of the world. The notion that we had a choice other than the one we made is the illusion of the ego. The choice we made was always the choice we were going to make. You are your response. Everything else is borrowed. It is important to remember the influences of past actions and deeds. Once we know where a response pattern comes from, we can change our response and therefore change ourselves. It is difficult to effect change when we do not know ourselves.
Where did knowledge of the Akashic Records begin? (Footnotes at bottom of page.) Historically the subject of the Aka-sa first shows itself in the Hindus culture (fn2), then emerges in Tibet around 5,500 BC (fn3). The early Egyptians, Persians (fn4) and Chaldeans in the Middle East around 4,000 BC (fn5) demonstrated a profound awareness of astrology and the Aka-sa. The Seers of Rome used the Akashic Records. The Oracles of Delphi, Dodona and Trophonius (fn6) were acknowledged throughout the known world as the eyes of the Gods. The Chinese had many great prophets who used the Records (fn7). Quetzalcoatl taught the ancient Americans astrology and use of the Records. The prophets (fn8) of the Old Testament had this knowledge. There are references, although somewhat vague, in the Nag Hammadi (fn9) and Dead Sea Scrolls (fn10) (1 AD) as to the study of the eternal records of man and woman. We can read in Catholic church documents (fn11) (200 AD) where early Christian Mystics had the knowledge of transporting their awareness to the Hall of Records. The Myrdywns (fn12) of the Druid culture (400-900 AD) in England showed the ability to access the Akasha. Maelmaedhog ua Morgair used the Akashic Records when he gave his famous papal prophecies describing each pope from 1143 to present time. Joan of Arch used the Records when she saw her future and the future of France. The work of Nostradomus (fn13) (1503-1566) shows he had full knowledge of the Aka-sa and used the Records as a way of seeing into the future events of individuals and nations.
Seers in the 1800 & 1900s In recent times, individuals such as Edgar Cayce, Alice Bailey, John Ford, William Lilly, Lillian Treemont, Manly P. Hall, Emanuel Swedenborg, Mary Baker Eddy, John Smith, Rudolph Steiner, Dion Fortune and George Hunt Williamson, to name only a few, have all demonstrated the traditions of the Aka-sa and the ability to accurately interpret the symbols of the Aka-sa. Since I have mainly explored this subject from the western point of view, and because the Aka-sa is of the Collective Mind, I must conclude there are many individuals in Eastern societies who are presently aware of the Akasha and interpret the symbols contained therein.
Akashic Footnotes (fn1) Using the terms male and female in this manner does not imply that males are not able to experience their hearts or motivate being, nor does it mean to imply that females are unable to use their intellect and motivate doing. We are all equally male and female. This statement is used to signify the duality of nature and does not limit the genders to certain capabilities. (fn2) The early writings that helped explain the nature of the relationship of God Creator to mankind were taken directly from the Aka-sa and later popularized in verses called Sutras. (fn3) These are the early teachings brought forth by the gyatso, or monks from the first days of man on Earth. The very ancient teachings of Tibet are lost to the Western world and may never be available now that China has control of Tibet. (fn4) One of Persia's most noted prophets was Al Hakim. He told of the birth of Jesus and Mohammed. (fn5) Plato mentions that Egypt was colonized by the inhabitants of Atlantis. Plato's account places the downfall of Atlantis some 800,000 years ago. In Egypt as in Atlantis those who could read the Records were called, Rehk-get-Amon. (fn6) These are just three of the many sites where temples were erected to the science of divination and augury. A side note: In Greek mythology Gods sit on top of Mount Olympus observing the happenings of humans. They do this through an opening in their celestial floor. This describes the Great Hall of Records in every detail. (fn7) One of the most famous was Sujujin. There was another, a gentleman by the name of Tajao, mentioned in Richard H. Allen's book, the Annals of China. Tajao's discoveries are dated around 2,608 BC. (fn8) All of the prophets of the Old Testament were Essenes and were taught the ancient use of the kabhala as a means into the Records. Anyone who reads the Old Testament can feel the certainty in their voice as they use the Akashic Records to determine the fates of many of the worlds leaders of their time. They also foretold of the distant future of the Jews as a race consciousness. (fn9) This is a wonderful work produced somewhere around the first century and explains in detail the mysteries of Jesus' teachings. Jesus often spoke with great authority from the Records. The most famous account is when he approached the women at the well and told her the details of her life. (fn10) Much is still unknown about the total contents of these scrolls, even though we have at long last been given the opportunity to fully examine the existing fragments. (fn11) There are two documents, Wings of Mithara and Sword of El, taken from a small chapel in Wales in the early part of the first century that formed the basis for the meditative practices of church elders. Throughout history great libraries have been sacked, looted and burned. The Catholic church has in its library a collection works on every subject known to mankind as we have explored our world. Few will ever know exactly what is kept secreted in its vaults. (fn12) Merlin (born around 415) is by far the best known of these Spiritual leaders. Merlin's predictions range some 1,200 years in all. The Bardic Triads compiled by Llewellyn Sion of Glamorgan tell of the system used by the Druids to enter the Records. The Roman historian Pompeius Trogus declared the Celts to excel in accuracy of details when reading from the Records. (fn13) Nostradamus was Jewish by birth and Catholic by virtue of his parents choice to convert. His predictions cover some seven centuries and are so accurate that many still use them to determine where and how they will live.
