Star constellations as an Akashic Record







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!
