A history of The Akashic Record

The Akashic Record or The Book of Life is a living record of our

individual and collective lives. It is referenced in The Holy Bible

and many other forms of literature. Namesta, Jan

>>The Akashic Records or " The Book of Life " can be equated to the

universe's super computer system. It is this system that acts as the

central storehouse of all information for every individual who has

ever lived upon the earth. More than just a reservoir of events, the

Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and

intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the

world.

Much more than simply a memory storehouse, however, these Akashic

Records are interactive in that they have a tremendous influence

upon our everyday lives, our relationships, our feelings and belief

systems, and the potential realities we draw toward us.

It is no exaggeration to state that the computer has transformed

(and is still in the process of transforming) the entire planet.

Whether it's technology, transportation, communication, education,

or entertainment, the computer age has revolutionized the globe and

the ways in which we understand and interact with one another. No

segment of modern society has gone unaffected.

The amount of information now stored in computer memory and crossing

the Internet highway daily is literally unfathomable. And yet, this

vast complex of computer systems and collective databases cannot

begin to come close to the power, the memory, or the omniscient

recording capacity of the Akashic Records.

The Akashic Records contain the entire history of every soul since

the dawn of Creation. These records connect each one of us to one

another. They contain the stimulus for every archetypal symbol or

mythic story which has ever deeply touched patterns of human

behavior and experience. They have been the inspiration for dreams

and invention. They draw us toward or repel us from one another.

They mold and shape levels of human consciousness.

They are a portion of Divine Mind. They are the unbiased judge and

jury that attempt to guide, educate, and transform every individual

to become the very best that she or he can be. They embody an ever-

changing fluid array of possible futures that are called into

potential as we humans interact and learn from the data that has

already been accumulated.

Information about these Akashic Records – this Book of Life – can be

found in folklore, in myth, and throughout the Old and New

Testaments. It is traceable at least as far back as the Semitic

peoples and includes the Arabs, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the

Babylonians, and the Hebrews. Among each of these peoples was the

belief that there was in existence some kind of celestial tablets

which contained the history of humankind as well as all manner of

spiritual information.

The first reference in Scripture to some unearthly volume is found

in Exodus 32:32. After the Israelites had committed a most grievous

sin by worshiping the golden calf, it was Moses who pleaded on their

behalf, even offering to take full responsibility and have his own

name stricken " out of thy book which thou hast written " in

recompense for their deed. Later, in the Old Testament, we learn

that there is nothing about an individual that is not known in this

same book. In Psalm 139, David makes reference to the fact God has

written down everything about him and all the details of his life –

even that which is imperfect and those deeds which have yet to be

performed.

For many individuals this Book of Life is simply an imagery symbol

of those destined for heaven and has its roots in the custom of

recording genealogical records of names or perhaps early census

taking. Traditional religion suggests that this book – either in

literal or symbolic form – contains the names of all those who are

worthy of salvation. The Book is to be opened in connection with

divine judgment (Dan. 7:10, Rev. 20:12). In the New Testament, those

redeemed by Christ are contained within the Book (Philippians 4),

those not found in the Book of Life will not enter the kingdom of

Heaven.
