The Akashic Records
is a term from Theosophy denoting a collection of mystical
knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence.
The Records are supposed to contain all knowledge, including
all human experience, held in the Universe. The Akashic
Records are metaphorically described as a library and are
also likened to a universal computer or the 'Mind of God'.
The records are supposed to be constantly updated. The concept
originated in the Theosophical movements of the 19th Century,
and remains prevalent in New Age discourse. Some indicate
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 think
the Akashic records make clairvoyance and psychic perception
possible. It is believed by some that the events recorded
upon that Akasha can be ascertained or read in certain states
of consciousness. Such states of consciousness can be induced
by certain stages of sleep, weakness, illness, drugs, and
meditation so not only mystics but ordinary people can and
do perceive the Akashic records. Some mystics claim to be
able to reanimate their contents like they were turning
on a celestial television set. Yogis also believe that these
records can be perceived in certain psychic states. Certain
persons in subconscious states do read the Akashic records.
An explanation
for this phenomenon is that the Akashic records are the
macrocosm of the individual subconscious mind. Both function
similarly, they possess thoughts which are never forgotten.
The collective subconscious gathers all thoughts from each
subconscious mind which can be read by other subconscious
minds. The Akasha are the library of all events and responses
concerning consciousness in all realities. Every life-form
therefore contributes and has access to the Akashic Records.
Any human can
become the physical medium for accessing the Records, and
that various techniques and spiritual disciplines (e.g.,
yogic, pranayama, meditation, prayer, visualization) can
be employed to achieve the focused state necessary to access
the Records.
