In
Theosophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts,
words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present,
or future by all life forms, not just human. They are believed by
theosophists to be encoded in the mental
plane. There is no hard, scientific evidence
for the existence of the Akashic records.
The term akasha was introduced through H.
P. Blavatsky (1831–1891), who characterized it as a
sort of life force; she also referred to "indestructible tablets of the
astral light" recording both the past and future of human thought and
action, though she did not call them askashic records.
Alice A. Bailey wrote in her book Light of the Soul (1927):
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.
Edgar Cayce claimed to be able to access the
Akashic Records, as do many
of today’s psychics
