History of Akashic Records
Posted by: admin : Category: akashic information, akashic records history
Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning sky, space or aether. The term Akashic Records is from Hinduism and was incorporated into theosophy meaning a collection of mystical knowledge.
This mystical knowledge is encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These Akashic Records are supposed to contain all knowledge.
They are metaphorically described as a library. Supposedly the records are constantly updated. The concept of Akashic Records originated in the 19th century and remains prevalent in New Age beliefs.
The Akashic Records are often compared to a universal computer or the mind of God. They are said to contain every thought, word and action in the universe and are impressed on a substance called Akasha.
