What's Behind the Door: Akashic Wisdom Unraveled

Throughout this book, we will talk about the many ways your Akashic record roomchanges and morphs to match your needs. Here is one of Patty's favorite versionsof her Akashic record room. She calls it the crystal palace.

As I walked into my record room I was immediately stunned and impressed by thehigh glass walls and ceiling. They were crystal clear and leaded. There weretall, lush plants filling the room, and a few exotic birds. (Not too many,because they can be messy.) The furniture was plush, sparse, and tasteful. Myrecords were stored in crystal balls all neatly lined on shelves. Everythingabout this room was about bringing in and reflecting light. I felt like I was ina giant prism.

I was dressed fabulously as well. I wore a beautiful, flowy gown in light colorswith some sparkles. Not too many, I'm not one to be overstated, but some well-placedbling is all I need. The point of this visit was to improve my self-image,and the guides went over the top to help me feel beautiful and full ofgrace. This experience was unique, as I rarely ask for this kind of attention.

Most of the time my record room is a basic stone structure, like the interior ofan ancient temple. There are columns, a fireplace, a skylight, and bookshelves.I rarely sit, so there is usually no furniture. A tall table will appear if I amgoing to look at a book. There is always a pond or pool, since floating in thehealing waters is my favorite thing to do in my records. My room is typicallyvery plain because it's the best backdrop for all of the crazy visualizations Isee there. I get more live action there than in any blockbuster movie.

And here is Jacki's first journey into her Akashic records.

I raise my eyes as I enter my library and am astounded by the grandeur. Deepwood shelves filled with well-worn books. Carefully among the books I findtrinkets of curiosity, sculptures, tools, and magical items. My eyes light uponcomfortable chairs to lose myself in, the perfect worktable filled with herbs,bottles, and candles, and doors that lead to adventures yet to be known. This ismy Akashic record room, and it is mine to discover.

This is the place of perfection, even in its disarray. It's my perfection, aplace where I can make a mess and then swish my hands and the mess becomesorder. This is a place where all the information I require is available to me;this place feeds my creativity and my passion for life.

In one corner I see a formal sitting area, in another I see my Bedouin tent madeof opulent tapestries and pillows to lounge upon. As I travel around the room, Ifind that I am avoiding the center, looking everywhere but there. This isbecause in the middle is what is waiting for me to heal.

Yes, I can play in the Akashic records, but then again, I go in there to heal.This is a place of strength and support for me to face the ugly side of myperfection—my personal demons, my fears, and my broken parts. What I discoverabout myself and my Akashic record room is that truly this is perfect and I amperfect. I will work on what I am ready to, I will get the information that isrelevant today, and I can heal at the pace my spirit feels is the best for me. Irealize that even though I am experiencing the perfection of the Divine, I stillget to be one of the "bad girls" of the Akashic records.

What Are the Akashic Records, Anyway?

The Akashic dimension was created as an interface with the universe or higherknowledge (God) so we can count and recount all of our thoughts, intentions,dreams, actions, relationships, faux pas, successes, karmic credit cards, pastlives, sneezes, farts, and coughs. (Don't fret, the records are sworn tosecrecy.) Lord knows our brain isn't big enough to hold it all, and there arenot enough sticky notes in the world for that magnitude of data, so we have atour disposal the ultimate information backup and retrieval system. It is trulythe record of everything.

Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "ether, space, or sky." The root, kash, means"to radiate or shine." In Buddhism, the Akasha translates as "infinite space," aplace that is without matter or any physical consistency. There is no time orspace in the Akashic dimension; all timelines exist together simultaneously.

The Akashic records concept was the brainchild and focus of Helena PetrovnaBlavatsky (1831–91), the founder of the Theosophical Society. In her day,Blavatsky was the clearinghouse for Eastern spiritual thought for us Westerners.Blavatsky created a mother of a bridge between science and religion for us toplay upon by uniting all the world religions. She plainly stated that "there isno religion higher than truth," and she believed the secrets of the universe aremuch grander than anything we have yet to conceive of. She believed that therecords could be accessed and manipulated, and that we should do so. In essence,she believed that we use the Akasha and the Akashic records to create the lifewe are currently living.

You won't find directions on how to access the records in any of Blavatsky'swritings, but you will get many lectures on how important it is to develop yourparanormal skills and master the esoteric sciences to increase your chances oftuning in to the Akasha. And she makes a valid point. The more you strengthenyour psychic abilities and have control over your will, the better you will beable to sustain a valuable visit to your records.

Hundreds of years before Blavatsky was even born, however, many culturesattempted to explain and apply the mysteries of a creative universe in theirlives. Through the ages, and in nearly every religion, there have been elaboratestories about a place that sounds very much like the modern description of theAkasha and the Akashic records. The Torah, the Bible, the Koran, the Gnosticwritings, the Aquarian Gospel, even Greek mythology all mention a Book of Lifein some form or another.

Jewish scriptures say each year on Rosh Hashanah, the Book of Life (which isactually three books) is opened. Everyone will be judged and given anopportunity to atone for their misdeeds before God literally closes the booksand inscribes their fate for the coming year.

The Bible also refers to a book or many books in which the...
