14 Jan Authority and the Akashic Records
Many spiritual seekers try to access the Akashic Records in search of guidance and answers.
That sounds like a good idea, right? After all, the Akashic Records are a spiritual resource … surely guidance is available to us in the Records?
Not exactly.
It’s actually a terrible idea to see the Akashic Records as a source of intuitive guidance, a higher consciousness that can help us on our path. That would be the equivalent of assigning the attributes of a BEING to the Akashic Records – a being that helps us or guides us or inspires us.
The Akashic Records are not a being that has a consciousness apart from our own.
The Akashic Records are a database.
As a database, the Akashic Records hold INFORMATION, not guidance. The difference may seem subtle, but can make all the difference in the world in regards to our accuracy.
Imagine walking into a library, standing in the middle of it and asking the library to help you or guide you. That would be a bit silly, right?
The library can’t do that! Because, of course, the library just holds information. It’s not a consciousness that can answer you. It’s just a place where you can find information. You can search through the information, you can maybe even find a card catalogue that helps you find the specific information you want. But it is up to you to piece the information together into answers and let it guide you based on your interpretation.
(Soul Realignment as a modality is the equivalent of a card catalogue, by the way … it helps you find the stuff that is actually USEFUL, and gives you guidelines for interpretation.)
The library is just a tool. You are in authority over how to use this tool, and the information it provides.
That’s exactly how the Akashic Records work!
The Akashic Records are a database of every choice ever made. Each choice is recorded, as if the Records were an etheric write-only hard drive. We can access the information. But asking a hard drive to interpret the information … well, that wouldn’t yield much of anything useful, right?
Unfortunately, many spiritual seekers not only try to access the Records – they assign authority to the Records in looking for guidance! And end up with highly inaccurate and rather murky “insights.” The Akashic Records are not a spiritual authority – they are a tool.
The authority is YOU.
To your Divine Wisdom,
