The Akashic Record

It is a big concept. Huge.

Where do you think memory is stored?

Is it a personal physical hoard?

Or is it a vast collection, pristine in perfection,

Ready to be accessed and absorbed.

“In theosophy and anthroposophy, the Akashic records is a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. It is believed all thoughts, words, intent etc. generates its own unique "frequency or vibration" which is stored in the Akashic Records.

When you hear the term Akashic Records, what comes to mind?

When I first heard it, my first thought was of a giant filing cabinet of information. Some people think of the Akashic Records as a library, or a book. Some think of it as a database. Those who champion the truth of the Akashic Records assert that they were accessed by ancient people of various cultures, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Bönpo and other peoples of the Himalaya, Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians, Druids and Mayans.

It is held that the ancient Indian sages of the Himalayas knew that each soul, jiva, atma, or entity recorded every moment of its existence in a "book", and that if one attuned oneself properly then one could access that book (refer mindstream for example).

Nostradamus claimed to have gained access to the Akasha, using methods derived from the Greek oracles, Christian and Sufi mysticism, and the Kabbalah. Other individuals who claim to have consciously used the Akashic Records include: Charles Webster Leadbeater, Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, Samael Aun Weor, William Lilly, Manly P. Hall, Lilian Treemont, Dion Fortune, George Hunt Williamson, Rudolf Steiner, Max Heindel and Edgar Cayce amongst others.

Edgar Cayce (/ˈkeɪsiː/; 18 March 1877 – 3 January 1945) was an American clairvoyant who claimed, uniquely, to channel his own higher self. During these sessions, Cayce would answer questions on subjects as varied as healing, reincarnation, dreams, the afterlife, past-life, nutrition, Atlantis and future events. Cayce, believed that it was his subconscious mind exploring the dream realm, where he believed minds were timelessly connected. Cayce founded a non-profit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, to store and facilitate the study of his channellings, as well as run a hospital.

A biographer gave him the nickname The Sleeping Prophet. Some consider him the true founder and a principal source of the most characteristic beliefs of the New Age movement. Until September 1923, his readings were not systematically recorded or preserved. However, an article published in the Birmingham Post-Herald on October 10, 1922, quotes Cayce as saying that he had given 8,056 readings as of that date and it is known that he gave approximately 13,000–14,000 readings after that date. A total of 14,306 are available at the A.R.E. Cayce headquarters in Virginia Beach and on an online, member-only section along with background information, correspondence, and follow-up documentation.

Other abilities that have been attributed to Cayce include astral projection, prophesying, mediumship, viewing the Akashic records or "Book of Life", and seeing auras. Cayce said he became interested in learning more about these subjects after he was informed about the content of his readings, which he reported that he never actually heard himself.” ~ Brian Scott

My personal experience of the Akasha have been wildly varied. Unlike Brian, I saw a related scenario, depending on the question or concern I was raising. For example, when I was studying herbal medicine I despaired that I would be capable of learning sufficiently for an exam. The Akasha presented itself to me (in a meditation) as an endless garden with rows of beautiful plants leading away from a central pathway. A tiny Chinese man escorted me and introduced each variety, its uses and contra-indications. Some other anecdotal information was attached to some of the more important species. When I emerged from that meditation I slept well and woke confident that I was adequately prepared.

Other meditations would lead to entirely different scenarios, but I never saw the Akasha as a library or filing system. Certainly not as a database. All those things are too ‘man-made’, too soulless.

The Akashic Record is a universal memory bank, where every moment of existence since the beginning of time is indelibly recorded. I have no idea what the end purpose could be…. I am not clever enough to divine or even guess.

Have you had any experiences like mine?
