What are Akashic Records?
Akasha means ether/sky/space in Sanskrit. So, Akashic records means records stored in ether or you can say in the cloud. In other words, it is a Cloud Database !
Cloud in computer technology means a server farm/cluster/data center, which is a collection of servers/computers connected to each other that perform computations, tasks. The servers can be located together or in different locations, connected via a network.
Some servers in the cloud, could be performing the task of generating the images, movie by accessing the “script” that is stored in databases that are running on other servers. The Akashic records database is a central repository of all the data of the simulation.
The Akashic records repository is a database where the records of each avatar’s experiences are stored.
From the time of an avatar’s birth, till date, the experiences are recorded and saved in the database.
Everything that an avatar has experienced inside this game, across lifetimes, are stored in the Akashic database.
It is an archive containing the collective experiences and potential future of all avatars.
The Akashic database also has the life script stored in it. Hence, you can traverse through past, present and potential futures.
That is why it is said, during life review, that there is no past, present, future; everything was played simultaneously. And that there is no time.
How is this achieved?
The matrix program reads the records and the life script from the akashic database and generates the images, video/movie on the fly, that is then presented to the soul on a screen. It is like you are watching past, present, future movies on one screen.
The very fact that you can see your past, present, future(potential), clearly indicates that this is a computer simulation that we live in.
The Akashic database also keeps track of the karma points, an avatar has incurred, across lifetimes.
Any new karma(positive or negative) points, that your actions generate are updated in the database immediately.
The life script then gets altered accordingly. Usually, if you notice, the karma(+ve or -ve) does not come back to you immediately.
It takes time for the karma to play out. This is because the script has to be adjusted(The Adjustment Bureau movie shows how this is done), the narrative/story has to be weaved and players have to be cast in different roles to play out the karma for you. It all takes time, as you are continuously creating karma and the previous karma from other lifetimes too have to play out. So, it can get complicated very quickly. There are a lot of moving parts here that need to be taken care of.
So, does that mean there is no free will? There is free will but to a limited extent in this corrupted realm. And you will not be presented with all the choices available to you. It is upto each individual to weigh the consequences of each choice and then take action.
It is said that you will meet beings based on your belief system, during life review or when you try to access the akashic database.
The beings can be your higher self, angels, demons, god, goddess, ascended masters etc. It all depends on your belief system.
Since, everything is recorded, it is easy for the simulation to generate an image, video of a being and show it to you.
Remember, all the karma are points inside the game and as such has got nothing to do with the player who is logged into the game.
Now, everyone cannot access the akashic database or you can say do not know how to access it easily.
There are record keepers that guard the database or you can say, database administrators who are responsible to give access to the database.
Same as the role of DBAs here, the Akashic DBA(Record keeper) , secures the Akashic database, grants access , maintains integrity, etc
Why is there so much secrecy about this database? Why cannot everyone access their records? After all, it is their own history?
Well, we are accessing the database daily. How? Our memories are stored in the database. So, whenever you recall a memory, it is downloaded from the database. Unless it is short term memory, which mostly could be stored in the avatar’s memory structure. But, long term memory has to be stored in the database(due to limited space in avatar’s memory ) and retrieved as and when required. This causes a delay in retrieving the memory sometimes, as it has to be searched and downloaded from the database.
These are glitches in the simulation, when it takes time for you to remember or you forget it completely(which could mean the record has been deleted for whatever reason-make more space, deemed not important etc ).
But, accessing the past lives memory is restricted and everyone does not have access to it. Wouldn’t everyone having access /read their past lives memory/history not make it easier for them to navigate their life better in the present lifetime? What is the point in putting a veil of forgetfulness on everyone when they are born or few years later?
Many children (up untill say 5yrs) can remember their past lives but forget later on. This means the access is revoked after a certain age.
Many are able to access the database during deep meditation and view the past lives information. At that time the Akashic database is presented in a Graphical User Interface(GUI) form. Similar to how we have Microsoft windows which is an application that displays in a user-friendly way, how to interact with electronic devices using icons, buttons, and menus, rather than typing commands. Like the menu items in a TV.
It is said that the database is visually represented with stairs, columns, books etc.
There maybe many other use cases of the Akashic database. I have listed a few main ones here.
It is essentially a database that has all the information about you and your activities!
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
The Matrix will be watching you….
And recording you without your consent!
There is nothing mystical about the Akashic records database. It is a central repository/databases that contains all the data required for the simulation to run seamlessly. An essential part of running a video game as complex as the one we are logged into!
