Ancient traditions describe a universal library of mystical information that contains record of events, thoughts, intents, and emotions from all time (including the future!) and in all places. Many ancient cultures: Druids, Indians, Moors, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, Tibetans, and more, held the belief that, with the proper preparation, humans could access these records.



Modern day prophets and spiritualists like Edgar Cayce also claimed that this storehouse of information, this Akashic Records (Akasha is Sanskrit for "sky," "space," or "æther")1, is what is presented to us for review upon our passing from this world. In today's terms, this cosmic library can possibly be described as "the Universe's super computer" and has been written about for æons.2 Hey! I just used the weird character "æ" twice in one paragraph! I've used a ligature! Wow! Ummm... Sorry for interrupting.

This Akashic Records talk is just crazy "woo woo" stuff, you say? Hold on a second, pardner. Science seems to be "catching up" with this ancient thought.

The "A-Field" I mentioned in my last posting is a contraction of the Akashic Field, so named by physicist Ervin Laszlo in his book Science and the Akashic Field, as an intersection of ancient and "modern" thought. He describes the field as "an interconnecting, information-conserving, and information-conveying cosmic field" which "informs...the entire web of life, [including] our consciousness."3

So, let's say this field exists. Let's also throw caution to the wind for a moment and give credence to the ideas of nonlocality (that entangled particles react as one, regardless of the distance separating them) and the quantum hologram (simply, the parts contain the whole). Anyone see a pattern beginning to emerge here?

An Akashic field pervading the Universe that transcends time (it has to if all information-even future potentialities-is stored there, right?) and matter sounds a lot like the theory of the quantum hologram. Nonlocality, for that matter, could be a direct result of the field, couldn't it? If one piece of the field contains non-time-constrained information about the whole field, then seemingly unrelated parts that react to one another are certainly possible. For example, let's say our two familiar particles-A in Minneapolis and B in Paris-are set a' spinnin' clockwise again. Our intrepid researchers in Minnesota tweak A to spin counterclockwise. Immediately and without the slightest delay, particle B in Paris begins to spin the same way, when it would have taken a beam of light 0.184 seconds to travel the 4213 miles between Minneapolis and Paris. But if particle B in Paris already "knew" when and how particle A was going to change its spin, the complementary movement wouldn't be such a big deal, would it? That's the idea of the A-Field: everything informs and is able to act upon and interact with everything else in the Universe. Instantaneously.

OK, OK! Uff da! Enough with the Minnesotan particles, already! What the heck does this have to do with healing? Well, I'll tell ya.

Let's say our friend Jane has developed the skill of interacting with the A-Field. She can, as the ancients described, prepare herself in such a way that the Akashic Records are accessible to her. Let's also say that Jane knows she can increase the healthy state of my liver (just as our Parisian particle "knew" about its Minnesotan partner's spin). Because everything in the Universe informs, is able to act upon, and can interact with everything else in the Universe (and Jane and my liver are things in the Universe, right?), she should be able to "read" the less-than-optimal health state of an organ then influence its spin to bring it back into health. Instantaneously.

If we believe what science is now telling us about our Universe, then we need to evolve into the knowledge that we hold an inherent power beyond any we've ever dreamed possible. It seems as though our "less evolved" ancestors already knew of this power. We've forgotten it, in large part. It's time to un-forget.

How, though? How do we harness this power? How do we un-forget how to use it?

All we need to do is think about it.
