We were discussing our mantras today, and the core of where these affirmations come from, and many deal with shrugging off other peoples expectations or opinions. Like the quote goes 'what  people think about me is none of my business.' I think that there is always a positive, a learnt action, skill, or mindset that comes from adversity and negativity (or negative people)...

Do You Understand the Akashic Records?

“In Theosophy and Anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of thoughts, events, and emotions believed by Theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the astral plane. The term Akashic was coined in the late 19th century from Akasha or akasa, the Sanskrit word for sky, space, luminous, or ether. There are anecdotal accounts, but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic Records.

Those who champion the truth of the Akashic Records assert that they were accessed by ancient people of various cultures, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Bonpo, and other peoples of the Himalaya, Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians, Druids and Mayans. It is held that the ancient Indian sages of the Himalayas knew that each soul, jiva, atma, or entity recorded every moment of its existence in a book and that if one attuned oneself properly then one could access that book.” - Helen Roman

We have read books about, or in reference to the Akashic records, and last week fell into a discussion after a meditation session. I like to think of the Akashic records as a spiritual equivalent of the Library of Alexandria. A place where we can tap into through various states, like chanelling, meditation, deep thought, divination. A well of knowledge that is our answer of ‘where does creativity come from.’ I’ve heard others proport it is a collection of all beings to ever exist, human and alien alike, experiences from which to draw from.

“Nostradamus claimed to have gained access to the Akasha, using methods derived from the Greek oracles, Christian and Sufi mysticism, and the Kabbalah. 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, and Edgar Cayce, among others.”

We’ve heard first-hand accounts of people having experiences where they are taken to the Akashic records via a guide. Their experiences transcending any known three-dimensional experience. Are these just dreams or are we really tapping into some universal source?

Another interesting correlation with all these stories and encounters it that the Akashc records are accessed either through some sort of reality warping perception – like you just magically appeared in the place; or travelled there in a merkabah or astral body.

“The Akasha is said to be the library of all events and responses concerning consciousness in all realities. Every life form, therefore, contributes and has access to the Akashic Records. It is asserted that to gain access to the Akashic Records, every individual human can become the physical medium, and various techniques and spiritual disciplines, such as yogic, pranayama, meditation, prayer, visualization, can be employed to quiet the mind, become a witness, and achieve the focused, pre-conscious state necessary to access the Records.”

I particularly like discussing this topic because experiences claiming to be access to the Akashic records always leave a strong resonance with the individuals’ encounters. None of these stories have those trademark tones and structures of a dream where it can be a bit random and nonsensical. Tales of accessing Akashic records tend to describe sensations bigger than life, and carry a meaning or purpose at the crux of the encounter. Something to guide or illuminate the experiencer.

“While accessing the Akashic Records, both the events and responses are said to be perceived. This is analogous to having a meta-enhanced cinematic experience. When accessing the future, the events are known, but the responses are only probable. Based on an individual’s responses in the past, the Akashic seer/reader can investigate probable future responses and give the highest future probability. A simple illustration of this might be witnessing several alternate endings to the main characters in a movie. At some point in the evolution of the Akashic reader, however, a state of unification and awareness can be achieved whereby even the future responses are known with absolute clarity instead of only as a probability.”

With all these experiences and claims throughout history, the experiences are essentially personal, and given the nature of the experiences, are hard to capture in words so there is little literature on what actually comprises the Akashic records. Is it a concept or scapegoat? A way for spiritualists and mystics to reference like science fiction? Where do those random, completely original thoughts come from? The ones where no logical process could predict? How do you just know some things without ever having read or learned it in the first place? Intuition? Lucky guess? You can see where I’m going… questioning the for and against both cannot hold 100% physical truth on either side. Interesting discussions in life after death, the existence of a divine entity, or even in an integrated consciousness and non-physical planes. Some theologists, even mathematicians have calculated the existence of such things, but without physical proof it is still spirituality, philosophy, theology…

“Despite claims that the Akashic Records have been used by mystics throughout history, there are no direct references to the Akasha to be found in any of the historical documentation of the aforementioned groups. The term Akasha itself, along with the concept of an etheric library, originated with the 19th-century movement of Theosophy. Skeptics say that the concept of Akashic Records has been attributed indiscriminately and inappropriately to a wide range of historical religious figures and movements.

The Akashic Records are referred to by Edgar Cayce, who stated that each person is held to account afterlife and are confronted with their personal Akashic record of what they have or have not done in life in a karmic sense. The idea is comparable to the biblical Book of Life, which is consulted to see whether or not the dead are admitted to heaven.”

Here we are simply discussing the concept and general idea of the Akashic records, there is so much more expressed in literature and anecdotes where we can get specifics and methods in way to access the records. But for the purpose of the conversation we merely wanted to present the idea and introduce you if you had no prior knowledge without isolating a novice with specific language and extreme concepts.

“Free from and independent of all religions and faiths, some writers believe that there exists many libraries or record repositories, such as the Akashic library, throughout the universe, albeit on various planes of existence.”

I remember my parents asking to to 'think about things' whenever I came to them with a problem as a child, and that habit has stuck with me through to adulthood. I find that if you ponder a situation or challenge, you can usually come up with a solution all on your own.  Granted it doesn't work for everything, but this attitude leaves me feeling empowered, confident, and less likely to be reactive.

We make New Years Resolutions because it feels great to have a fresh start... why not treat every day like that?

I think for 2020 it is a great time to set an example - don’t let limitations of the current climate get you down. Think about the type of person you admire or aspire to be. What traits and accomplishments does that person have? What small steps can you take to emulate that person right now?

Every journey starts with a small step... and before you know it YOU will be the inspiration!

You can do it.

We discussed a few weeks back about the Akashic records and how many have tapped into that knowledge to gain perspective, guidance, direction... I like the idea of connecting with something greater to bring meaning to your life. Inspiration. Creativity. You have everything you need to find peace, success, abundance.

Bring on the wet season! It's been dry on the Sunshine Coast and we are looking forward to seeing the fall running again. Always such a wonderful place to meet out of the office and discuss future plans!

[kategrainger]

We are finally getting back to our routines after being socially isolated and taking the time to be thankful for what we have. Many we know have lost income, loved ones gotten sick. It's important to stay positive and look forward in difficult times.

Take this time to elevate your energies.

Blessing to all <3
