Akashic Records?

What do YOU think of the concept of the Akashic records? Have you ever had any experience with accessing them, if you believe they exist? Have you ever found an inaccuracy in information you believe was obtained this way?

[hagith]

I have looked astrally for the akashic records, and have never found anything similar to how they're described.

I'm not sure if they exist. Lol.

[G2_Wolf]

If it does exist, I wonder how f'd up everything would get if you read your own record.

I mean, you would be able to read about every exact little thing you do for the rest of your life; years, decades ahead of your current time.

I have a friend that has a bad experience with viewing the Future, its kinda weird to me in all. She says she has headaches all the time and can see mistakes of the feature, if everything is recorded in these records, then is she accessing the records to see the feature..?

I have attempted some work with them. I have tried techniques of meditation and visualization and occassionally reaching certain states of conciousness in trying to reach out to them. Nothing I can say for sure to prove it here. But I do think that psychic records of some sort does exists. If an object or place can maintain a signature or energy that can be read then why would this be so far-fetched? Maybe Akashic Records is really only a way to give the phenomenon a name and nothing more.

From the article, I don't get the alien connection though. I think people lean too heavily on aliens like they do demons and such when they can't grasp the human potential to do anything on our own.

A guy I know can go into a trance and hook into what he and his lineage call "the know". While in this trance he spews seemingly gibberish information and doesn't remember any of it when he snaps out. He's got audio tapes somewhere of these experiences. He claims The Know contains all the information in the universe and he is able to access it, but not in any usable fashion.

[FreetodrinkSR]

"The Known" is probably a similar type of Akashic Records or the Records themselves. The ability to get into a Trance is actually very useful. Are you sure he just drawing the Info out of "The Known" and yapping it out, or is he temporarily out of his body?

A similar experience happens when people get possessed, and I've heard, they go crazy and jabber out hateful words, the devils & Demons as told, or other hateful spirits that still roam the earth in search of something.

I have never seen a demon Possession that I know of, but the pastor at my church (apostolic faith if your wandering) has contacted some demon possession and most of the time thy just act normal accept when thy say really wired stuff, like treating by the power of the devil. He has said of a few that foam at the mouth and stuff but that’s not most.

No idea, I haven't been there. I'm sure I'll see it eventually. What funny is he decided to make me his minion and teach me everything he knows. Lesson 2 is going to be "How to create an energy orb". <sarcasm>oh joy!</sarcasm> In reality he's my minion and just doesn't know it.

Sry I said earlier I had never seen a demon psion. That is not true, for one time I remember and only one time this person was sort of acting odd (sort of like a seizure ) then my pastor walked over to hem and said something. The guy was fine and later my pastor said it was a demon.

[Nightshade]

I personally dislike the idea. I dislike the idea of fate and destiny because I believe that us humans are in control of our own lives; whether that is true or not I'm unsure. If I gained access to the Akashic Records, I would immediately leave because I believe that life should be a mystery. If I saw what would happen to me in the future, where would the journey of getting there be? If this was a bad future, and I obviously wouldn't be able to change it (because this works on the concept of fate) then I would become depressed, and try to make it better or kill myself, which wouldn't have been shown in the book, so fate would be thrown off. It also seems to have some flaws in it:

1. If I saw a bad future, where say I got in a car accident and became paralyzed, I could simply never ride in a car again. This would keep me from the accident, but this "future" was never shown in the book. Therefore I changed my "fate" and many others as well.

2. If I even found the records, then that should be in the records, and the above scenario would be applied again (changing my fate).

3. If I saw a very good future (where I become a successful doctor for example), then would I stop trying as hard in school because I already know that I will make it? If so, then I wouldn't become a doctor, and that future wasn't shown in the book. Therefore I changed my fate, and that of others as well.

So, after applying some theoretical logic, the idea of these records doesn't seem feasible. But, there are things in this world (and out of it), that we humans are unable to understand as of yet, so my logic could be wrong. Also, maybe when I saw the Akashic Records, I saw myself seeing the records in the present and changing my future...but this would result in a spiraling pattern of myself changing my fate...Again, I could be wrong. Nevertheless, I still dislike the idea of fate and not being in control of my own life.

Personally, I think, in theory, something like the akashic records would be dynamic, NOT static. It would have things that have occurred, and a statistically most likely outcome of the future. BUT, if you were to look at them, the looking at them would change them. They would conform to the world, but in a retroactive, pseudo-omniscient way. I refuse to believe there is an utterly omniscient system anywhere: it isn't sustainable.

(btw, this is my opinion of pretty much every omniscient theoretical system, including various religious postulates about omniscience)

Maybe there is something to prevent you from reading your own record?

Or maybe if you do, the whole universe ceases to exist.

[Sudai]

If one were to view the future via the records, the records would have that in there.

I'm just gonna play off of Nightshade's scenarios.

1) One day you may slip and get in a car and that day would be the day the accident were to happen.

2) As said, it would be in there.

3) It may be this lack of concern that causes you to become a doctor due to not having near as much stress making your brain more functional and help you in school.

[Nightshade]

That's an interesting way of looking at it Sudai. It reminds me of Final Destination, where if you change your fate of a certain way of dying then you will die in a similar fashion as you were meant. For the car accident example, maybe I would get injured and put into an ambulance which gets in a wreck.

Off topic, but would you look at your own records? Or someone else that you know?

[Echo]

I believe in fate, but I wouldn't want to look at my record, if such a thing exists.
