Akashic Records. Akasha is a Sanskrit
word meaning "sky", "space" or "aether") akasha are said
to be a collection of mystical knowledge that is stored
in the aether; i.e. on a non-physical plane of existence.
The concept is common in some New Age religious groups.
The Akashic Records are said to have existed since the
beginning of Creation. Just as we have various specialty
libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist
various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral,
etc).
Most writings and teachingsrefer to the Akashic Records
in the area of human experience. Memories of all experiences
since the beginning of time are believed by some mystical
doctrines to be stored permanently in a spiritual substance
(Akasha)
Some who believe in the Akashic Records claim that
they were used by ancient peoples and cultures around
the planet, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Cretians,
Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews,
Christians, Druids, and Mayans among others
The belief is that the ancient Indian sages of the Himalayas
knew that each soul recorded every moment of its existence
in a divine "book", and that if one attuned oneself properly
then one could read or view the pages of that book.
Nostradamus claimed to have gained access to the Akasha,
using methods derived from the Greek oracles.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, Edgar Cayce
A Chinese gentleman named Sujujin was reported to need
only the first name of anyone to access the Akasha and
describe their life history. Another Chinese seer, named
Tajao, explored a variety of topics in the Records which
span over two thousand years.
Some indicate that the akashic records are similar to
a Cosmic or collective consciousness. The records have
been referred to by different names including the Cosmic
Mind, the Universal Mind, the collective unconscious,
or the collective subconscious. Others believe that the
akashic records make clairvoyance and psychic perception
possible.
