Just wondering if anyone knows of the Akashic Records?

-----

Eon:
anyone ever have an experience with this?

it has to do with astral projection...

perhaps the Highest place in the astral realm is the Akashic records.
its the place where all the knowlege in the universe (as far as We are concerned) is stored.
you can look up Any of your past lives, or someone elses past life for that matter, (if your intentions are Good, and you have permission so to speak)

one time, i was sleeping at my grandma's house, and suddenly i just became Aware... i had no dreams before that, i dident remember leaving my body or Anything... all i remember is seeing waves of light washing over me, and Wam! im in this quiet place all alone, and it looks kinda like a library.

i was rather beside myself wondering, "where am i... i know im not Awake, but this seems Realer the Real!" just as i was looking around this very polite lady walks up to me and hands me this hand held monitor screen. (like a tiny LCD screen tv) then she walked away. .... i glanced down at the screen and it seemed to be playing some War scienario. my first thought was "OMG!" i looked around for a place to sit down, and saw about three people in a room, it looked like they were counceling someone.... i walked through this door of light and suddenly im INSIDE the scenario, as an observer in 1st person perspective.
i saw everything the person saw, but i felt no fear, or emotion. i had my own thoughts, like watching a movie.
it was clearly taking place in WW2, and i was jumping off a landing craft onto a beach. it was so vivid that i could see the sky reflecting in a pool of water as i ran up the beach. and there seemed to be Towering mnts of Lush green all around me. bullets were flying past me and i jumped in a trench, to my left was a shoulder high pile of dead bodies... as i looked to my right i saw an enemy soldier jump into the pit right beside me, and i stabbed him with my bayonette. then continued to stab him as he lay on the ground. i looked up out of the trench and decided to keep running up the beach, just as i reached the top (where the tree-line was) there was a huge explosion in this underground bunker, and body parts rained down on me. this is where it became a blur.. all i remember after that is seeing tanks of the beach, and walking around... and i was left with an image of the ocean, and as i stared out i felt so far away from home, and so very alone...
that image still stains my mind, and it remains to be the only image that can make me cry. (just from seeing it alone)
after that, i remember memories of a different sort.... i remember seeing Dolfins swiming beside a boat that i was in, (not a war boat, but a private one on the ocean) and the over-all feeling was joyful. but i couldent place the memory.

later i asked my mom about the dolfins and she said that i saw them when i was very young, (3-4 yo) on my grandma's boat.
and several weeks later i was watching the history ch. when i saw footage of WW2 in the S. pacific... id never seen the S. Pacific before, but when i saw those tall green mountains, i realized what id seen in my vision. it was EXACTLY the same setting that id seen... spine-chilling.

sorry for the long post! but i felt itd be nice to share my story.

This is wierd...
I had a strange dream awhile back... it stuck out in my mind because I didn't know what in world it could be about...
but anyways... I was in some type of labrynth and eventually after trying many doors I wound up in a library... there was nothing particularly strange about this library except the librarian was at her desk and the desk was on a platform that was suspended in midair on the second floor...
I walked around for abit... I was alittle dumbstruck but semilucid.. but for some reason I felt that I didn't have the right to look at any of the books yet....
So I didn't and the librarian gave me a warm reassuring smile that has stuck with me since...

It took me awhile to find my way out of the library, which wasn't the same way I came in. there were so many doors and it was quite confusing...
but once I made my way out I remember decending a spiral staircase
and then I woke up... and had no idea what to think of the dream.

So your post just really reminded me of that dream...
I don't know if it was the place you speak of but maybe it was a representation of it or something of the sort?
what do you think?

Eon:
im not sure..
could be your sub-conscious trying to tell you something
i reaallly love those kinds of dreams though, that kinda bend the mind.
its rare to end up in the records, i felt i was taken there for a specific Reason. to see something i Needed to see. and i think i got there via the waves of light.

but i believe past life memories can also be recieved in Dreams, (subconsciously)
when there is a reason.

perhaps you were in the records of your own mind? but it wasent time to see your past lives, or whatever you feel where in the books..

what do YOu feel about the experience?

Above all else it was just reassuring...
At that point in my life I was just sucking in as much info as I could on new-age materials and I felt somewhat at a loss of where to go next?
It was a time when I felt that I was remembering why I came in the first place but there was so much to be learned and I didn't know where to look...
So this dream, especially the glance from the librarian, now that I look back on it... was telling me that true knowledge and wisdom can be found in bits and pieces from books and studying... but the LIBRARY is within myself and that is where I need to look when what I'm searching for cannot be found somewhere else.

So that's a trip and a half because it's like I didn't even make the connection until now. what a relief!

Abraxus:
Jane Roberts in the 'Seth' books talks about these records which exist as part of the collective mind.

They spend a considerable amount of time on the meaning of these and how to discover and access them.

Not that I actually learned it , because I was one of those readers who would go .... oh .. an exercise ... that sounds like alot of work , I will get back to that , let me read ahead .... and the hilarious part , was , Seth would start the next paragraph 'For those of you that are skipping the exercises with the intention of carrying them out at a later time.... blah blah ...' and I would still read on , because I was too fascinated to stop ... I guess it is time to read them again and actually pay attention.

Eon:
they are well covered in "astral dynamics"

but my experiance is a fairly typical one.
the records seem to apear to people in a way that fits them.

a man from 15th centry would no doubt see the records as a library with books.
my 21st centry mind saw them as flat LCD screens.

and, like my experience, if you stay there Tooo long the memories become fragmented.

Edgar Cayce was famous for going to the records and looking up info on the people he was helping.

im sure you could prly do a Google search on it.. but beware of misleading info! (its always out there)
