Some religions and spiritual beliefs have the idea of a repository of all events that have ever, or will ever, happen. Commonly known as the Akashic (the Sanskrit word Akasha means ether, atmosphere or sky) records, they are a collection of all the events, thoughts, words, emotions to have occurred in the past, present, or future anywhere in the universe. And not just for humans, but for all entities and life forms.
In contrast to traditional secular ideas, thoughts and consciousness are not a by-product of the brains function, but have their own objective and universal reality independent of the physical. And it is this that is stored in the Akashic records.
It is thought that this fantastic resource is housed in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. This is a plane of thought and so can only be accessed through using your mind with techniques such as hypnosis or mediation.
So using hypnosis and other modalities you can explore the Akashic records and discover past lives, future lives or insight into your current life. Archives and records can be a tremendous source of information and can bring meaning to what you have or are experiencing. As Antony Beevor (British Historian) put it, “I get slightly obsessive about working in archives because you don’t know what you’re going to find. In fact, you don’t know what you’re looking for until you find it”.
The term was adopted in Western spiritualism in the late 19th century. It was first introduced to the theosophical world by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Russian author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875) who characterised it as a type of life force. She also referred to “indestructible tablets of the astral light” recording both the past and future of human thought and actions.
This was later referenced and built upon by a number of academics and theosophical scholars. Henry Steel Olcott was an American military officer, journalist, lawyer, Freemason and the co-founder and first president of the Theosophical Society. Olcott wrote that “Buddha taught two things are eternal, ‘Akasa’ and ‘Nirvana’: everything has come out of Akasa in obedience to a law of motion inherent in it, and, passes away. No thing ever comes out of nothing.”
Charles Webster Leadbeater was a member of the Theosophical Society, Co-Freemasonry, author and co-initiator of the Liberal Catholic Church. He identified the Akashic records by name as something a clairvoyant could read. In his 1913 book ‘Man: Whence, How and Whither’, he claimed it recorded the history of Atlantis and other civilizations as well as the future society of Earth in the 28th century.
Alice Ann Bailey was a writer on theosophical subjects and was one of the first writers to use the term New Age. In her book ‘Light of the Soul on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali – Book 3 – Union achieved and its Results (1927) she wrote, “The Akashic record is like an immense photographic film, registering all the desires and earth experiences of our planet. Those who perceive it will see pictured thereon: The life experiences of every human being since time began, the reactions to experience of the entire animal kingdom, the aggregation of the thought-forms of a karmic nature (based on desire) of every human unit throughout time. Herein lies the great deception of the records. Only a trained occultist can distinguish between actual experience and those astral pictures created by imagination and keen desire”.
