Opening the Akashic Records: Meet Your Record Keepers and Discover Your Soul's Purpose

In theosophy the Akashic records are a compendium of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future. The records are believed to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the etheric plane. The word Akasha comes from the Sanskrit word for aether and means ‘sky’ or ‘atmosphere’. First written about by Mme Blavatsky, it was Alice Bailey who 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.”

St. Germain says, “The Akashic Records are a field of energy that contains all the records of everything. Like a library that is not static, it is a living field that reflects the energies of the past, present and possible futures. Edgar Cayce, one of America’s greatest documented psychics, was asked in trance about The Book of Life. The answer that came through was, “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…”

In Opening the Akashic Records, St. Germain provides specific directions as to how to consult your own guidance first, and then open up the Akashic Records and ask the identical question, and then compare the results and the differences. This is one way that a person learns to differentiate between their own wisdom channel and the wisdom from the record keepers.
