This is part 2 sorry in the delay – The Akashic Record Part 2

 

As an interesting corollary, in the ancient world, a person's name

was symbolic of his or her existence. According to Sir James George

Frazer, author of The Golden Bough – one of the most extensive

volumes on world mythology – there was such a bond between one's

name and one's existence " that magic may be wrought on a man just as

easily as through his name as through his hair, his nails, or any

other material part of his person. " In ancient Egypt, to blot a name

out of a record was equivalent to destroying the fact that the

person had ever even existed.

 

Closer to our current era, a great deal of contemporary information

on the Akashic Records has been made available by both reputable

psychics and modern-day mystics – individuals who have somehow

perceived beyond the limits of three dimensions.

 

According to H.P. [Helena Petrovna] Blavatsky (1831-1891)an amazing

woman of her time and this time, a Russian immigrant, mystic, and

founder of the Theosophical Society, the Akashic Records are much

more than simply an account of static data which may be gleaned by a

sensitive; instead, the records have an ongoing creative stimulus

upon the present:

 

Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a plastic matter,

creative in its physical nature, immutable in its higher principles.

It is the quintessence of all possible forms of energy, material,

psychic, or spiritual; and contains within itself the germs of

universal creation, which sprout forth under the impulse of the

Divine Spirit.

 

Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine

 

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the Austrian-born philosopher, educator,

and founder of the Anthroposophical Society possessed the ability to

perceive information beyond the material world: a " spiritual world "

which was just as real to him as the physical world was to others.

Steiner claimed that the ability to perceive this other world could

be developed, enabling an individual to see events and information

every bit as concrete as the present:

 

....man can penetrate to the eternal origins of the things which

vanish with time. A man broadens his power of cognition in this way

if he is no longer limited to external evidence where knowledge of

the past is concerned. Then he can see in events what is not

perceptible to the senses, that part which time cannot destroy. He

penetrates from transitory to non-transitory history.

 

It is a fact that this history is written in other characters than

is ordinary history. In gnosis and in theosophy it is called

the " Akasha Chronicle " ...To the uninitiated, who cannot yet convince

himself of the reality of a separate spiritual world through his own

experience, the initiate easily appears to be a visionary, if not

something worse. The one who has acquired the ability to perceive in

the spiritual world comes to know past events in their eternal

character. They do not stand before him like the dead testimony of

history, but appear in full life. In a certain sense, what has

happened takes place before him.

 

In terms of contemporary insights, perhaps the most extensive source

of information regarding the Akashic Records comes from the

clairvoyant work of Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), Christian mystic and

founder of A.R.E. For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar

Cayce possessed the uncanny ability to lie down on a couch, close

his eyes, fold his hands over his stomach, and put himself into some

kind of an altered state in which virtually any type of information

was available. The accuracy of Cayce's psychic work is evidenced by

approximately one dozen biographies and literally hundreds of titles

which explore various aspects of his information and the thousands

of topics he discussed.

 

When asked about the source of his information, Cayce replied that

there were essentially two. The first was the subconscious mind of

the individual for whom he was giving the reading and the second was

the Akashic Records.

 

Most often, when giving a reading which discussed a person's soul

history and his or her individual sojourn through space and time,

Cayce would begin with a statement such as, " Yes, we have before us

the records of the entity now known or called _________. "

 

In discussing the process for accessing these records, Edgar Cayce

described his experience as follows:

 

I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical body, which lies inert

before me. I find myself oppressed by darkness and there is a

feeling of terrific loneliness. Suddenly, I am conscious of a white

beam of light. As this tiny dot, I move upward following the light,

knowing that I must follow it or be lost.

 

As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious of

various levels upon which there is movement. Upon the first levels

there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees

in nightmares. Passing on, there begin to appear on either side

misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body

magnified. Again there is change and I become conscious of gray-

hooded forms moving downward.

 

Gradually, these become lighter in color. Then the direction changes

and these forms move upward and the color of the robes grows rapidly

lighter. Next, there begin to appear on either side vague outlines

of houses, walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless. As I

pass on, there is more light and movement in what appear to be

normal cities and towns. With the growth of movement I become

conscious of sounds, at first indistinct rumblings, then music,

laughter, and singing of birds. There is more and more light, the

colors become very beautiful, and there is the sound of wonderful

music. The houses are left behind, ahead there is only a blending of

sound and color. Quite suddenly I come upon a hall of records. It is

a hall without walls, without ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing

an old man who hands me a large book, a record of the individual for

whom I seek information.

 

Once given the record, Cayce had the ability to select the

information which would be most capable of assisting the individual

at that time in his or her life. Frequently, a reading might suggest

that only a selection of the available material was being provided,

but that the individual was being given that which would be " most

helpful and hopeful. "

 

Additional insights were frequently provided in subsequent readings

once an individual had attempted to work with and apply the

information which had been given previously.

 

As a means of perhaps alluding to the fact that the Akashic Records

were not simply a transcription of the past but included the

present, the future, and certain probabilities as well, in reading

304-5, Cayce began the reading with a curious statement.

 

When discussing the Book of Life, he stated it that it was " The

record of God, of thee, thy soul within and the knowledge of same. "

(281-33) On another occasion (2533-8) Cayce was asked to explain the

difference between the Book of Life and the Akashic Records:

 

Q. [What is meant by] The Book of Life?

A. The record that the individual entity itself writes upon the

skein of time and space, through patience – and is opened when self

has attuned to the infinite, and may be read by those attuning to

that consciousness...

 

Q. The Book of God's Remembrances?

A. This is the Book of Life.

 

Q. The Akashic Records?

A. Those made by the individual, as just indicated.
