Akashic Records - Store Consciousness.

Black Obsidian Skrying Mirror.

Pure Black, on both sides.


Introduction.

In Buddhism, Consciousness is experienced as stream of karmic events we go through.

What we seed now, how we react & experience what happens to us now - is put into store consciousness to ripen in future, when conditions allow.

What happens now is a cause of the future.

We experience reality as an 'interactive film' that is played before us, yet we have freedom to decide how we react to events that unfold.

Akashic Records.

'The Qabalah teaches that everything in the universe is created or 'prefabricated' in the astral world of Yetzirah before it manifests in the physical world.

The astral plane is a level of reality that is higher than the physical world, but lower than the divine or spiritual world. It is a place that is in between - a realm of reflections, images, and dreams. This realm is the invisible blueprint that lies behind all physical forms. All things manifest in the astral world before they manifest in the physical world.

The astral plane is sometimes called the Treasure House of Images and is said to encompass the Akashic Record or the Akashic Library. This is a part of the astral said to contain all the memories and experiences of humanity over the course of history - embedded within the substance of the ether.

The Akashic Record exists outside of our concept of time and space, thus it contains information about future events as well as past memories.'

-- Quoted from 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' book by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


i've found information that Akashic Records refers to the Store Consciousness, that there is both personal store consciousness as well as world's collective store consciousness (we're connected - no individual exists alone - but ego creates an illusion of separation), both accessed by reflection & introspection.

information about future to unfold are not 'fate', it's 'karma' that can be changed or purified. Glimpses into future are about possibilities, not about 'certain facts' that are to occur without doubt.


Accessing Akashic Records.

By looking inside, one can learn of past lives, of past in this life, of things at distance (in time or space), as well as of how the future can unfold.


'It is avialable to those seers who have achieved a certain level of psychic purity and skill at skrying, but sporadic occurences, less-developed psyches are afforded brief and sometimes distorted glances into the Record.

This astral 'stockpile' of images can be used by skilled seers to cull knowledge that is universal and timeless.

In spite of this, the seer must ever guard against astral illusions or self-deception.

A skryer must be able to learn the differencies between astral fact and astral fiction. This is why skrying is a skill that must be finely honed, carefully practiced, and constantly tested for veracity.'

-- Quoted from 'The Essential Golden Dawn. An Introduction to High Magic' book by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero.


How to look inside?

- By focusing & meditating on breath - a bridge between conscious and subconscious - as well as by calming mind, by observing thoughts & feelings,
- By skrying - with or without use of devices as a black skrying mirror or a crystal ball.

To perceive things clearly one should defeat his or her own ego, as it's obstacle of ignorance & a mind's veil. Buddhist practices are one of keys to that.

i'll emphasize that one should be wary of what one sees inside - as what we perceive is obscured by our ego & other of mind's veils. Criticism & distance are important tools, and keys to remain sane as psychology teaches us all.
