"
The akashic records (
akasha is a
Sanskrit word meaning "
sky", "
space" or "
aether") is a term used in
theosophy (and
Anthroposophy) to describe a compendium of
mystical knowledge encoded in a non-physical
plane of existence. These records are described as containing all
knowledge of human experience and the
history of the
cosmos. They are metaphorically described as a
library; other analogies commonly found in discourse on the subject include a "universal
supercomputer" and the "Mind of God". People who describe the records assert that they are constantly updated automatically and that they can be accessed through
astral projection[1] or when someone is placed under deep
hypnosis. The concept was popularized in the
theosophical movements of the 19th century and is derived from
Hindu philosophy of
Samkhya. It is promulgated in the Samkhya philosophy that the Akashic records are automatically recorded in the elements of
akasha one of the five types of elements visualized as existing in the elemental theory of
Ancient India, called
Mahabhuta. In
Buddhism it is taught one reason that people knew
Gautama Buddha had attained
enlightenment as a
Buddha was because he was able to remember all of the details of all of his past lives by accessing them on the akashic records..."
