Many clients shared with me that they tried to read the Akashic Records, took a course, tried prayers or meditations they found in a book or a lesson — but it didn’t get them anywhere. They couldn’t find much in the Records, beyond some very generic information, or an overall feeling of being uplifted and loved. One of my clients summed up his experience with, “There certainly isn’t much information here!”
To tell you the truth, this was my fist experience with the Akashic Records, as well. For months, all I could get was some general truths, and maybe a temporary sense of peace and joy. All this fuss about the planetary database certainly seemed exaggerated.
Why was this happening? Why couldn’t I see or “read” anything? Why are people getting nothing specific or “interesting” when they try to read the Akashic Records on their own?
In this article, I will try to answer just that, as well explain some factors that contribute to a succesful Akashic Record reading.
The structure of the Akashic Records
Let’s begin with the basics and see what the Akashic Records are — and what they are not. The Akashic Records are an energetic database of our planet. They exist in the quantum realm, interwoven within our physical reality, similar to the invisible waves that allow us to talk on our cell phones, remotely switch on our TVs or ACs, or connect to WiFi.
We don’t see those waves, because their frequency is too fine for our eyes to measure, but they are everywhere within our reality. In the same way, the information field, the Akasha, is everywhere. It is within us, and informs our cells and organs on how to grow and function. It is outside of us, storing information on the history of our planet. It is permeating the space and the cosmos, informing and forming the whole Universe.
In practical terms, the Akashic Records are a fifth-dimensional space, which automatically responds to even the finest vibrations. These vibrations leave a permanent mark, something we call a “record”.
The Akashic Records are not a book, books, or some stone tablets hidden in a secret place.
They are not an instruction manual.
The Akashic Records are not “God” telling you what to do, or a book of destiny where everything that will ever happen to you is set in stone. On the contrary, from where you stand right now, in this very moment, nothing is set in stone. Every second, you have a choice in how you respond to what is happening in your life. And that choice shapes your reality.
It is through choice that we interact with the Akashic Field.
Let me repeat this very important point. The Akashic Records are a field of higher-vibrational energy. They are like a recording device that writes down the important events in our lives. But it is us who choose how we react to these events and how we remember them. We don’t read the Akashic Records to be told what to do.
This same field stores out future potential as a seed. It is up to us, however, to plant the seed and to activate one of the many possible directions into which it can grow. Once we have planted a seed in a specific location at a specific time, our options on what to do with it become more limited than before we engaged with it.
Our egos often want to cut the costs, and have someone answer the question — ok, but where should I plant the seed for it to grow better? I just want the best for everyone! I am not selfish! Why should I waste a good seed? Just tell me what to do! Front yard or back yard? Winter or spring? What should I water it with? How did the past seeds thrive in that environment? What color will the flowers be? How fast will it grow? Will I reap the harvest by Halloween?
Interpreting an Energetic Record
To understand an energetic record, we need to “translate” it into words and images that are familiar to us. To be able to do so, we need some sort of a library of experience and knowledge that we can use. In other words, in order to understand and verbalize the information contained in the Records, we need the capacity to interpret it.
This is where many of us us made the initial mistake. We assumed that if we just get the right key, the right prayer, the right attunement — we would be able to sit back and have information flow at us. What we did, what we are supposed to do, what magical mission we have and where to find our soulmate.
Sure, information is within us and around us all the time, but we need to train the right muscles, find the eyes to see and ears to hear it. And the Akashic-level information is not written in words or drawn in tablets of stone. It is quantum information.
Imagine giving a three-year-old a book on nuclear physics. He may browse through it, may enjoy the texture of the paper it is printed on, and may even find some pictures attractive — but will likely not get even the faintest idea of what the book is about.
Would he be able to pass on any information that he found in the book? Most likely, no. He wouldn’t understand it and wouldn’t know what to do with it. But even if he liked a particular picture, and tried to share this with someone, he wouldn’t be able to explain what the picture looks like. At best, he could maybe point to the picture in the book, and say, “Look! Nice! I like this picture!”
In the same way, we do not gain much clarity by simply opening an information channel of the Records. The opening in itself is relatively easy. We just need some humility and willingness to receive. But without knowing what to look for, and how to interpret it, we gain as much knowledge as a three-year-old from a book on nuclear physics.
The Prerequisites of Accurately Reading the Akashic Records
There are three main prerequisites to getting accurate information from the Records.
- Initiation and guidance. Even though, theoretically, anyone can access the Akashic Records, in practice, we need a teacher and a guide. We need to someone who initiates us into reading the Records, and we also need to be able to receive invisible-plane guidance that would filter information for us into what we can absorb and digest.
- Second, we need to ask questions. The more specific our questions are, the more specific answers we will get. And in order to ask specific questions, we obviously need to know and understand what we are looking for.
- Therefore, the third prerequisite is building knowledge and experience. This can only be acquired by regularly going into the Records and working in them. As with every new skill, the more we practice, the better we get at it. We will not understand something which we have no experience of, something we have never seen, heard or felt.
Because the Akashic Records are a database in the form of highly sensitive energy, they respond to intention. This means that the more we probe, question and search, the more the energy in the Records moves. We don’t see everything at once. The information comes to us gradually, as we begin working with it, as we build our capacity to bear it and work with it.
Some people have the impression that when we learn to read the Akashic Records, we are able to get any information about anyone. Sort of like walking into a county clerk’s office and saying, now I am initiated, give me my Records! And those of my neighbor! It doesn’t work this way, and most certainly not in the beginning of the path.
In the Field of the Akashic Records, there is no ego. Therefore, they do not respond to egoic drives and motives. We will not get any information that is not for our highest good, or the highest good of those on whose behalf we are accessing the Records. This is not to say that getting such information is impossible. There are many beings and entities who have access to the planetary information field. They will connect with it for us — but the price will, in the long run, be quite high.
These lower-level beings will be stroking your ego in order to get your energy and block spiritual process. Some of us may have engaged with such entities in our soul journey, and now need to learn the lesson of trust and surrender.
To sum up, the Akashic Records are a higher-vibrational field, which is open for every sincere seeker. Working in them takes practice, humility, and willingness to open even more to the Divine Light. Reading the Akashic Records can be the beginning of a path to accessing higher consciousness and enlightenment.
