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?
By coincidence I saw a recommendation for the book about Anastasia. It describes a woman living deep in the Siberian tundra and how she survives. I am finding it most enlightening so far.

Oh, how funny! This is just the sort of area I've been into of late. And even more woo-woo than this. :) In fact it's almost a complete turnaround from chasing down conspiracies and working out who's on the list of baddies. LOL.
In answer to the first question, I'm dead sure our memories aren't stored in our brains. Maybe a bit of processing goes on before they get laid down but otherwise I think it acts much more as a transceiver. I think the scale of what goes on is going to be way above anything we imagine and that we probably lay down a superfine, pixel-perfect, 360 degree image of every moment of our life, along with sounds, feelings, thoughts, emotions of others, motives, emotional context and much, much more. By comparison to the complexity the Universe we're a hand-cranked machine and our horizons and processing power are incredibly limited while we're down here in this hell-hole. 1% of what's possible is going to be an over-estimate of quite how limited we are. This point of view seems to be backed up by NDE accounts - and I must have watched or listened to 400 or so by now - where people get not just a life review in incredible detail but also get to feel the reactions of those around them.
If we take that timeless realm that NDEers are in during their experience, it's not hard to think that all events are still there, and accessible. That doesn't quite take in account the creation or projection of our reality which can include changing events in the past, or at least resolving their karma, but one can imagine being able to go any event in the past (and probably future too) and see the definitive record of what happened, because it's still there! I visualise the passing of time as a series of slices of the the world all stacked in a line, like frames of a movie or flicking through cards to make your motion picture. You then just pick out the card(s) you want to look at that time.
Funnily enough, one of the things that has happened to me over the last 10 years or so is that my memories have become much less like just recalling something and more like going back there and living it again. This hit a peak about 2 years ago and at times was so trippy that I didn't feel pinned down in the normal present time. I even wondered whether I was actually there in the present time. (And, no, there were no drugs, and not even alcohol.)
The Akashic Halls seem to be very much a "place", and a place of enormous grandeur (which I guess is very fitting). Certainly the accounts of them that I can bring to mind say so. From the persective I've described above they would seem to be a second record and presumably, because of that air of them being a huge library, carefully indexed to make the information that much more directly accessible.
I love your account of being walked through, Frances, and wish I'd had an experience of something like that. I think I've only had one experience of the angelic realm and that was more than 10 years ago, in either 2011 or 2012. But from it I can vouch for all that information being freely available. As I was being taken off the Earth (which incidentally was black with evil and sorrow, with just a few bonfires of light and hope), I could hear everyone's thoughts and feelings, and could easily focus down on individuals or couples and get the entire picture, including the background. It was utterly heartbreaking to see the depth of sadness and how everyone on Earth was so completely deceived, apart from those pockets of light.
There is another place, or realm, that people have given accounts of (and I've been there once in a dream - maybe more than once but I can't be sure) which give further confirmation that this information is available - indeed all information is available. There you can ask any question you like and get the fullest possible answers given to you. Or to whatever depth you want, though that's usually pretty damn deep as there doesn't seem to be any limit to our ability to understand and everything is made incredibly simple, it seems. When I was there in my dream, I wondered if there was anything you weren't allowed to know, so I asked a question that I knew would lead to evil. The answers and understanding started coming straight back without any restriction. (I don't remember what the question was - probably something like the secrets to banking - and I didn't take it all the way, but I was satisfied that there was nothing you weren't allowed to know.
This whole thing is actually rather reassuring because it means that nothing you have learnt, come to understand, or things that you might have had a special insight into, dies with you. In this realm, which may well be changing, it helps to have it written down, but ultimately it doesn't have to be in a book or online because people will be able to pick it from the air. This is great from the perspective of us not thinking that our life is meaningless or that we haven't been recognised or achieved all that we wanted to. It is also one of the possible mechanisms by which we might defeat the controllers. Them sidling up to you offering a deal, or a new bank loan, isn't going to work if you can see their motives and the cascade of ramifications descending from accepting their offer. They are going to be completely out of business, and rightly despised. This will be true across so many areas of commerce (or law or politics or medicine...) and they'll all slide down to the starting row of their game of snakes and ladders, assuming they even dare to show their faces.
Two people who I know visit the Akashic Records regularly are the wonderful Norma Edwards and, someone who is fairly new to YouTube, Athena of Human Witness. I'd also like to mention Michael William Denny, who I've only very recently come across but in just two interviews (one with JeffMara and one with Rex Bear) and a couple of videos has helped me piece together some big parts of what the structure of this reality might be. I'm going to be devouring his videos over the next couple of weeks because he has some striking understandings that have really made me prick up my ears. his YouTube channel is called ThunderWizarddotcom. I don't really watch Rex Bear that often, though he is quite fun, but if someone wants to start on Michael Denny his interview with Rex is a good place to start and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6ZUZiIH8LM and Rex is in good form.
