Many people seek to access Akashic records. They may be assumed as a store of everything you and everyone else has ever done, in this life, and in past lives. Some people sense things described as Akashic fields help explain cyclic events of the universe. They offer an explanation for you discern certain events seem to repeat. Your curiosity may propel you to think, “how could I learn more?”
Of course, to realize you can access the sum total of all forces in the universe may intrigue and surprise you. You may wonder how Akasha could exist with motion and without motion where it would be transformed into potential. As you explore some of your own questions, I would encourage you to consider these:
1) Why do you desire to access your records? If you seek a short-cut to your Divine purpose or some trigger for self-interested revelations, then Akasha isn’t going to be accessible. You may also be going about this with inappropriate intentions. Akashic isn't a tangible thing that would enables you to exert power over others. Its not a thing to be owned or possessed and it doesn't enable you to have a hold over people. You'll only access Akashic when the universe decides.
2) What do you hope to gain? If you seek answers to life’s mysteries outside yourself, then Akasha isn’t the answer. Self-growth arises from making choices along a journey, not from receiving what you think might be the answers to problems before they arise. On invisible levels, Akasha reveals who you are and why you exist now, and what events have influenced your evolution. Practices such as meditation enable you to gain insight into your ego mind.
3) Which messages are conveyed if you don’t see them? Ervin Lazlo has extensively researched this subject. His view of An Integral Theory of Everything explains that our own senses don’t register Akasha until we reach a certain level of spiritual practice. If Akasha is indeed an all-encompassing medium that underlies all things, and becomes all things, then one needs to learn how to step back from the world and its influences. Its up to you to interpret events your way and evolve.
