What does anyone know about the Akashic Record?
Where is it, and can you read it and if you can how do you?

Thanx.

Kes.

As I see it the akashic record is like the memories of a place.
In a similar way to us remembering things, places and objects do the same thing.
If you visit a place, lets say the pyramids at Giza it is possible using the "memories" of the pyramids to effectivelty travel back in time and see the events that have happened there since the pyramids were built, then if you look at the place they were built on you could go back further still to see why the pyramids were really put there.

I believe the term used to access the Akashic record varies depending on how you look but psychometry, telepathy and clairaudiance would be the main three.
If you visited the place during astral projection then you would be able to access the akashic record psychically as part of your projection.

However you do it you basically tune in to the right frequency so that you can feel and see what is there on that wavelength.
It is similar to psy feeding but instead of gathering energy you are gathering information.

When I think of the Akashic Record I see it as all of the memories, the consciousness if you will, of the multiverse as a whole. They are located on the astral...the plane that links all planes...but what they look like, I imagine, is whatever the visitor imagines them to be. I don't think there's a specific place on the astral with a specific form that is the Akashic Record. It's more like when you're there you know you're there type of a thing. It's hard to explain.

Zygo can you do it? Can you tap into the records?
And could I do it as a human or is it a kin only thing?

And if I could do it would you teach me please?

It isn't a 'kin thing. Anyone can do it provided you can astral travel. Me, I'm useless astrally, can't project/travel to save my life. My sociology professor's wife, who's a spirit medium, can tap into them and as far as I know she isn't 'kin.

I can access the record yes and yes I'd be happy to teach you.

I can't say "anyone" can view the akashic record because you do need to have some psychic ability, but you don't need to enter the astral, thats only necessary if you aren't at the place you want to find information on.
Think about any time you have had a bad feeling about a place or thought somewhere felt really nice, perhaps someplace felt strange but you didn't know why.....thats the Akashic record working it's influence on you. That feeling is the bit you need to access and manipulate to learn more.

Zygo

You mean like the music block always felt strange? Like something really unpleasant happened there, and you didn't really want to go in and you definitely wouldn't want to be there alone?
That feeling?
I don't think I want to access that kind of feeling.

That place always felt like something was standing over you. Especially if you were on your own. Yeeuck.
I don't honestly know if the feeling from that room was the Akashic record but there are other places that feel like that.
There are different places that feel absolutely wonderful, friendly and full of life, joy and energy.
You can find out things from anywhere but the places with stonger feelings are easier to access.
I wouldn't recomend anyone except those with the best shielding and strongest stomachs try and access one of the "bad places" you might just find out, in graphic detail, exactly why it feels like that.

Beware of taking objects from people too, it has been known for certain unsavoury characters to collect trinkets that have been found in vile circumstances with the express intention of giving them to another sensitive person. I think they gain some kind of perverse pleasure out of seeing them get caught up by that kind of event.
Try and teach your self to glean feelings from things at a distance that way you don't touch something like that unawares.

Zygo

Having a bad feeling about a place or a person "feeling" really nice could just be imagination or interpersonal intelligence respectively. These things happen very often even to people who, as you put it, have no psychic ability.

I believe the Akashic records are accessible to everyone, and that everyone has the same psychic ability as everyone else, some just have it click, some have the will and the patience to practice it, and some just don't.

I also put a lot more faith in my wits and my physical senses influencing my perception of the world rather than an introspective realm within the Astral Plane to be sending psychic memos to me. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I am saying it is more likely the simpler answer.

Does that mean you can't do it Terro?

It sure sounds like it from what I'm reading.
Sorry if thats not polite but it does look that way to me.

Does it make a difference?

What it looks like to me is that some people don't think it's cool enough to just be observant, it has to be some extraplanar memo about that new kid in the classroom, and not their poise, appearance, tone or even scent that contributes to your impression of them.

I dont read people without their permission as that would be an invasion of personal space and I don't take people on first appearances either.
There are things people project that if you avoided them would make you rather foolish (usually the intent to harm is projected wether people try to or not) but we were talking about places and their akashic record which is not the same as the akasha given off by an active thinking being .
Visitors to a place will leave a trace in it's akashic record but they do not become part of it. If there is a presence in a place it is as seperate from the place as you or I would be. But if it has been there a long time it will inevitably have had a large influence on the record held within that place.
Decent mediums often talk about the feeling of, lets say, an old lady in a house but will say she is not active because her essence is not there. So what they are listening to is the Akashic record of the place, not to that of the lady herself.

Zygo

That was what I was talking about. The statement that getting weird feelings or impressions from people or locations being the influence of the Akashic Records.

Such seems to be a bit of a leap to me. I don't think this is an example of the Akashic Records influencing anything, I think it's an example of a person using their senses to get a feel for a person, place or thing.

And while you might say you don't take people on first appearance. You do see and evaluate a person based on that first impression, of which appearance is a large part. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they stand and dress. different people take different amounts of information from that first impression, different people may decide to suspend judgment until they've "investigated" further (such as talking with them, asking about them from others or observing them further), however you do have a first impression and many thoughts or evaluations based on what you see first with your eyes.

Yup, he's got you there Zygo.

The problem with the rest of your post is that it really doesn't apply to the situation I was discussing with Zygo. I'll explain, so maybe it will be clearer.
I am human, and so not predisposed to having 'feelings' or even believing that I should have them.
At the time Zygo and I were discussing I was 13 years old, and had no clue about such things.
The Music Block was just another school building, nothing remarkable or unusual about it's appearance. It was painted the same, to look the same, it had the same lighting, the same lino, and the same windows, it even had the same smell. There was nothing at all that seperated it from any of the other school buildings.
Except the feeling.
Which followed you from the moment you entered the building, and did not leave you, until you left the building.
I could not explain it then, and I cannot explain it now.
I didn't project anything into it, and I wasn't the only unremarkable person to feel this about this particular school space. That leads me to believe that there may be something to what Zygo is telling me.
I know very little about the Akashic record, and I'm hoping to find out more from Zygo and what he has to say.
So a bit more explaining Zygo, because I think I am almost with you.
I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to do any of what you're telling me about, but if I can understand it then you know that will be enough for me.
For some reason it's always the understanding not the doing that is important to me.

I read this topic from the beginning and couldn't find this info anywhere so I hope nobody minds me adding this.
The Akashic Records are a record of the spiritual existence of everything. If it existed in any way it left an imprint somewhere in the Akashic Records.
Like an echo or a whisper of what it was, how and where it formed, how long it existed and any changes that occured to it during that time.
They are called the Akashic Records because it is believed that all the information they contain is imprinted somewhere on a substance called Akasha, which alongside earth, air, fire and water, is the fifth element of existence allied to spirit, the ether and the non-physical.
Some believe that only sentient life imprints on the record, while for others they believe that if it was ever here the memory/trace of it will be somewhere there.
The records can be accessed by anyone, the theory being that since every life form contributes, every life form should have the ability through meditation, connection or prayer to access it.
Not really one record but more a collection of seperate specialist records (animal, vegetable, mineral etc,) they are said to encompass the colletive knowledge of all that is or ever was. Every phenomena, in and out of the world is there somewhere.
