The Akashic
Records is the storehouse of all information -- every word, deed, feeling,
thought, and intent -- for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth. Akasha
is a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or
"æther", and it entered the language of theosophy through H. P.
Blavatsky, 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, but she did not use the term
"akashic". The notion of an akashic record is attributed to Alfred
Percy Sinnett, who, in his book Esoteric Buddhism (1884), wrote of a Buddhist
belief in "a permanency of records in the Akasa" and "the
potential capacity of man to read the same."
This is not
very different from saying that the mythology of the ages distilled into
legends connected to star constellations represent a kind of Akashic record. The
function of mythology is to present an image of the universe that connects the
transcendent to the world of everyday experience. It is, therefore, an
organization of symbolic images and narratives, metaphorical of the
possibilities of human experience. (some
what parallel to a wave function of modern physics as we see in the next para)
Now let us
take a digression into modern physics. In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger
equation (or the wave function) contains all the future possibilities of a
physical system. A wave function collapse is then a phenomenon in which a wave
function—initially in a superposition of several possibilities—appears to
reduce to a single event after interaction with an observer. This implies that nature
is fundamentally stochastic, i.e. non-deterministic.
Hugh
Everett, in 1957 put it differently. He simply said that the Schroedinger
equation does not collapse. All the possibilities contained in the wave
function occur but in different universes (of consciousness?) From this came
the interpretation called “The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics”.
Everett ’s
idea was that different universes can very quickly
branch apart, so that there is very little relationship between them after a
tiny fraction of a second.
In our blog
site regular readers will have seen several examples of how the same planetary configurations
amidst the same stars gives rise to several possibilities taking place all over
the world. What makes the difference? It is really dependent on human
free-will. The interaction of the observer with the “wave function” of star
images so to speak is what gives rise to an event.
The planets
and especially the Moon in its various phases appears to act as a kind of
facilitator or if we use an electrical analogy – as some sort of local
substation transformer that steps down the high voltage electricity from the
power station (the stars) to our houses for use!
