The Akashic Experience by Ervin Laszlo (Book Review)

From the Back Cover:

“SCIENCE / NEW THOUGHT
Knowing or feeling that we are all connected to each other and to the cosmos by more than our eyes and ears is not a new notion but one as old as humanity. Traditional indigenous societies were fully aware of nonmaterial connections and incorporated them into their daily life. The modern world, however, continues to dismiss and even deny these intangible links--taking as real only that which is physically manifest or proved “scientifically.” Consequently our mainstream culture is spiritually impoverished, and the world we live in has become disenchanted.

In The Akashic Experience, 20 leading authorities in fields such as psychiatry, physics, philosophy, anthropology, natural healing, near-death experience, and spirituality offer firsthand accounts of interactions with a cosmic memory field that can transmit information to people without having to go through the senses. Their experiences with the Akashic field are now validated and supported by evidence from cutting-edge sciences that shows there is a cosmic memory field that contains all information--past, present, and future. The increasing frequency and intensity of these Akashic experiences are an integral part of a large-scale spiritual resurgence and evolution of human consciousness that is under way today.”

Einstein’s theory of relativity had been seen by scientists and physicists as a four-dimensional space time reality, while refusing any other explanation or theory that there might be another kind of energy within the space-time. Today it is accepted that there is a concept of an underlying dimension within the universe. This medium carries information while manifesting things and processes within the universe. It is through this medium of the Akasha that humans are connected to one another, the world and the universe.

In today’s Western world, many people dismiss other ideas of reality and consciousness as being fantasy or creative imagination. Modern people are conditioned in believing only what they can see or can be proven scientifically, not what they are capable of perceiving through an altered state of consciousness. Many who see through this altered state do so through an Akashic experience. Anyone is able to tap into this altered state or consciousness, not just psychics.

The Akasha contains records of the wisdom of the ages, a type of collective knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These records contain all of the knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos. There are philosophists, psychics, mystics and Reiki practitioners who are aware of the Akashic records and are able to read them in certain states of consciousness. The late American mystic Edgar Cayce was successful in reading the Akashic Records which he described as a type of library of a collective consciousness. This Akashic library contains every thought, word and action in the universe to which every life form contributes. For Christians the Akashic Records are known as the Book of Life as described in the Bible.

Akasha is the Sanskrit word meaning ‘sky, space or ether’, the term Akashic Records comes from Hinduism and is incorporated into theosophy as a meaning of a collection of mystical knowledge. According to the Hindu seers a cosmic source known as Akasha is the first of five elements while containing the memory of everything that has occurred in time and space.

Twenty people from respected fields provide their personal experiences with the Akashic to lend credence to this phenomena. Contributors are C.J. Martes, Swami Kriyanada, David Loye, Stanley Krippner, Jude Currivan, Guido Ferrari, Christopher Bache, Maria Sági, William Gladstone, Oliver Markley, Raffi Cavoukian, Alex Grey, Eric Pearl, Masami Saionji, Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Pim van Lommel, Stanislav Grof, Fr. François Brune, Edgar Mitchell and Larry Dossey. Each of the experiences provides details on how they influenced and changed the life of the person.

Laszlo describes how the human brain has the ability to receive and exchange information from quantum-hologram fields. It is perceived that the human brain receives information from waves in the universe to which it is entitled. The brain does not receive everything but only that information for which it is encoded. Experiments have been conducted to show that several people are able to communicate through the Akashic field at the same time resulting in “shared dreams, common hunches and related insights”.

Remote healing has been analyzed after hundreds of cases and proven beyond a reasonable doubt by Maria Sági in Budapest. Another form of remote healing is used by Reiki practitioners where they send “healing energy” over a distance to their patients. Other varieties of the Akashic experience are near death experiences where the brain is temporarily not operating, out-of-body where the brain is obtaining information from outside the body, and after death communications where the brain is permanently not working yet is capable of receiving as well as sending information.

I recommend this book as invaluable to anyone who explores the areas of metaphysics and spiritual healing, as it has examples of “soul retrieval” during past-life regression, remote viewing, near death and out-of-body experiences, premonitions, communication with the dead and others; resulting in a new awareness of the cosmos.

The Starseed Dialogues - Patricia Cori (Book Review)

The Starseed Dialogues contain detailed answers to questions Patricia Cori has received from readers of the Sirian Revelations trilogy, her original collection of channeled teachings from the Speakers of the Sirian High Council. Patricia Cori is among many who believe that life on Earth will radically change after 2012. This book answers many questions about the connections among seemingly disparate subjects: our shift in consciousness and the current Earth Changes in the form of global warming and catastrophic earthquakes; the mysterious inner world of Agharta; and the significance of visiting sacred sites, such as the Great Pyramid, to receive celestial messages. As always, the Speakers’ message rings clear: Release your fear of what lies ahead, for we are about to experience a glorious transformation of consciousness. What await us is a brilliant new age of truth, light, and beauty.

Although I have an avid interest in the universe and soul related topics, I am wary of any assertion made by channelers’ connections with spiritual beings or entities. This particular book is interesting providing the reader stays grounded by sensible thought. Every person who questions the world about them should not disregard anything that seems peculiar or far fetched. There was a time when the world was considered flat and any ships sailing into uncharted seas would fall off the edge. This has been found incorrect. Early scientists who reported their discoveries that the Earth revolved around the Sun were discredited and put to death if they persisted with informing others of their findings.

The concepts will be a tough sell on many people, especially those who have not read books on Atlantis, channeling, and the ability of the soul to ascend or connect with the Divine Oneness (God). There are also discussions on the evolution of our DNA from a double to a triple helix, the interstellar and multidimensional relationship between our solar system and others; and the conspiracy that dark forces of an alien race are within the governments to keep the people ignorant. For those who have an open mind to consider the possibilities presented will find concepts, like the evolution of DNA, interesting. I certainly did.

2012 marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one according to the Mayans. It also roughly coincides with the astrological transition to the Age of Aquarius from the Age of Pisces. There will be a very rare galactic alignment of the Sun and Earth in the Milky Way (Photon Belt). The transition is about the raising of our vibrations (the ascension of humans from the 3rd dimension to the 4th dimension). The Earth has been moving over a period of years into an area of very high vibrational energy that is thought to raise the vibrations of the Earth and all its life-forms to enable it to make the transition to a higher dimension. Part of this transition entails the evolving of the DNA codes in humans to be transformed in a quantum leap into connection with the Divine Oneness. This transition is also called the Great Shift that occurs every 26,000 years which is recognized in the Mayan calendar and the Hindu Vedic tradition. The earth changes that have been ongoing are part of the transition to the new world era.

According to other books I have read, including The Starseed Dialogues, there are beings from other planets and star systems such as the Pleiadians and Sirians under the direction of the Galactic Federation who are assisting with Earth’s and mankind’s transition through the shift.

The message from Patricia Cori is this is the wake-up call to humanity to live richer lives in order to look forward to the coming changes – that the mother earth is birthing a new world. It is an evoluntionary leap for mankind to enable them to mutate their consciousness. Time is no longer linear, but in the ‘now moment’, similar to the term related in Eckhart Tolle’s best selling book, A New Earth. Fear and indecisiveness halts a person’s progress and to combat this, there is always the freedom to choose which path to take, combined with love and fortitude.

As incarnated souls we chose to be here to experience this awakening. It is important to be at peace with yourself, your neighbours and the planet before the journey begins. Patricia Cori feels that every individual’s experience of growth and enlightenment ought to be shared with others. Most important of all, it is necessary for each of us to think independently.


Patricia Cori has dedicated her life to the study of mysticism and philosophy, ancient civilizations, shamanism, metaphysical healing, and extraterrestrial life. In 1995, she founded the Light-Works Association, a nonprofit healing center and New Age Library. The author of The Cosmos of Soul, Atlantis Rising, and many other books, she lives in Rome, Italy. She is the host of Web radio talk show www.bbsradio.com -– a program dedicated to exploring the merging of science and spirit.
