When we first connect to the Akashic Records, and discover this amazing storehouse of information, we also learn the importance of asking the right questions. Are there questions that the Records cannot answer? And which questions should we ask?
What is an Akashic Reading
While it is true that the Akashic Records is a high-vibrational “library” that exists outside the boundaries of time and space, we, the ones who access them, still do have time and space to deal with. To understand how the reading works and what type of information we can access, we first need to understand what the Akashic Records are.
I think it is useful to think of the Records as a library, without taking the metaphor too literally.
Just like any library, the Akashic Records need a method to access the information and to receive answers that are relevant and practically useful. Just like any library, the Records contain knowledge that we don’t understand, or need.
If I wanted to read a book on astrophysics or quantum mechanics, thinking that as long as I am able to read, surely I would learn something new and be able to put it into practice — I wouldn’t have gone far. I would really need to have studied these subjects to understand the information in the books. In the Akashic Records, too, we are only able to receive the information that we can process and understand at our current level of development.
Questions to Ask the Akashic Records
In most cases, such unproductive questions relate to future events, which are in the process of being created in the now. Learning about the future may discourage the seeker from taking the most spiritually productive course of action, or interfere with a lesson that the soul has contracted to learn. Sometimes, it is more productive to do healing work that would shift the perspective.
There is a reason why predicting the future is discouraged in most spiritual traditions. Productive future predictions always give an opportunity for changing the present course of action in order to avoid a negative future outcome. In other words, productive predictions about the future are warnings. If you continue in the same way, something bad is going to happen, change your actions now! This is very different from predictions that take our power away.
Some future trajectories are obvious. If you mess with the universal laws, you will be in trouble. If you neglect action, you will not achieve anything. Sometimes a situation is not what it seems to us, and we are guided to see that what we are doing is unfruitful and will not lead to a desired result. If we are completely detached from the outcome and are aligned with our Soul, we tend to get more detailed guidance about the future.
What serves us best is cultivating trust rather than reliance on predictions.
“When will I Find Love?”
Great, so now that we have this figured out, can the Akashic Records tell me when will I meet my twin flame?
An Akashic Record reading is first and foremost a spiritual activation. When someone asks about finding love, or being with a twin flame, the answer they typically get is that they need to see how they are seeking fulfillment outside of themselves. And as long as they do that, they will never connect with a twin flame, a soulmate, or whoever it is they are looking for, whether they have them or not.
Of course, some situations require more nuanced guidance, and many seemingly unproductive questions do have validity in context. As one of my friends says, the only stupid question is the one you didn’t ask.
There are no stupid questions in the Records, but what we need to be aware of is that we are approaching a higher-dimensional space where everything is seen from a different perspective. Some of our concerns are completely turned around and we are guided to new levels of understanding and being. The Akashic Records do not dispense the information indiscriminately. We have to grow into them, and in the process of doing so, we are able to receive more and more.
