The Akashic
Records
A Theosophical term referring to an universal filing
system which records every occurring thought, word, and action. The records are
impressed on a subtle substance called akasha (or Soniferous Ether). In Hindu
mysticism this akasha is thought to be the primary principle of nature from
which the other four natural principles, fire, air, earth, and water, are
created. These five principles also represent the five senses of the human
being.
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.
An example of one who many claimed successfully read
the akashic records is the late American mystic Edgar Cayce. Cayce did his
readings in a sleep state or trance. Cayce's method was described by Dr. Wesley
H. Ketchum who for several years used Cayce as an adjunct for his medical
practice.
"Cayce's subconscious...is in direct
communication with all other subconscious minds, and is capable of interpreting
through his objective mind and imparting impressions received to other
objective minds, gathering in this way all knowledge possessed by endless
millions of other subconscious minds." Apparently Cayce was interpreting
the collective subconscious mind long before the psychiatrist C.J. Jung
postulated his concept of the collective unconscious.
