Acashic records
Akasha is a Sanskrit word, and means "Primary substance," that out of which
all things are formed. According to Aquarian philosophy, it is the first stage
of the crystallisation of spirit. This philosophy recognises the fact that all
primordial substance is spirit; that matter is spirit moving at a lower rate
of vibration, becoming, as one master expressed it, a coagulum. This Akashic,
or primary substance, is of exquisite fineness and is so sensitive that the
slightest vibrations of an ether any place in the universe registers an
indelible impression upon it.
In Theosophy and the various New Age-related faiths, the Akashic Records are
records of all knowledge, including all human experience down to the finest
detail, held in the universe. The records are said to exist on another
universal level of consciousness and/or some other plane of reality. The
Akashic records resemble a library and are also compared to a universal
computer (some would say the 'Mind of God').
The Akashic Records are referred to e.g. by Edgar Cayce who stated that each
person is held to account after life and 'confronted' with their personal
Akashic record of what they have/not done in life in a karmic sense. This is
not however a process evaluated by the supposed limited lowly earth plane mind
i.e. the brain, but one fathomed by the higher mind or one's
'super-consciousness'. In this higher state of consciousness, one is assumed
capable of seeing the recent life as merely one amongst the many the soul may
have had. From this vantage point of God like function, with total compassion
and understanding one can clearly assess the life and the soul's spiritual
progress. Learning being the prime directive of the soul (according to those
who believe in this sort of thing).
Jane Roberts in the Seth books describes a different version of a similar idea
when Seth asserts that the fundamental stuff of the universe is ideas and
consciousness, and that an idea once conceived exists for ever. Seth argued
that all ideas and knowledge are in principle accessible by "direct
cognition". Direct cognition is similar to or perhaps identical to intuition
and is said to allow direct knowing without time elapsing and without
knowledge needing to be transferred e.g. in speech or text. This is similar to
what Robert Monroe refers to as rotes in his out-of-body book trilogy.
Free from and independent of all religions and faiths, there exist many
libraries or record repositories such as the Akashic library throughout the
universe, albeit on various planes of existence. On a related noted, on Monroe
focus level 27, there is a place which has been referred to by many as "the
park"; a library with an incredible amount of knowledge is conveniently
located there. The library and the knowledge contained within is a
manifestation of some collective energy from the Higher Selves while they have
incarnational experiences on Earth. The knowledge can serve to assist Higher
Selves' incarnations, if appropriate or required, to learn and advance while
on Earth. When all Higher Selves have achieved their goals and leave the
Earth, the library will no longer be required, and hence its energy will be
withdrawn.
