Believers and Sceptics
Believers
Belief in the existence of the Akashic Records is widespread throughout many ancient cultures although they may not have referred to them by the same name. However, no matter the label or description, it appears that ancient cultures knew of and consulted these records.
Believers have made many claims about the Akashic Records and how to use them or access them. These include:
Among those individuals who claim to have consciously accessed the Akashic Records include: Charles Webster Leadbeater, Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, Samael Aun Weor, William Lilly, Manly P. Hall, Lillian Treemont, Dion Fortune, George Hunt Williamson, Rudolf Steiner, Max Heindel, and Edgar Cayce.
C.W. Leadbeater, to mention one of the above adepts, did not have a manual to assist him in reaching the Akashic Records but he managed nevertheless. Leadbeater was a renowned clairvoyant who conducted research into the Akashic Records. He claims to have inspected these records at the Theosophical Society headquarters in Adyar, India in the summer of 1910.
Edgar Cayce stated that each person is held to account in the afterlife. There they are confronted with their personal Akashic Record detailing what they have or have not accomplished towards balancing their karma in their last incarnation.
Sceptics
Despite the claims made by those who believe in the Records, there are no direct references to the Akasha in any of the historical documentation of the groups mentioned above.
Historically, the scientific community has rejected these theories due to a lack of any independently verifiable evidence. Generally the Records are not even recognized within the specified religious traditions concerned. It is acknowledged that specific groups or individuals may hold such a belief. An example would be Ervin László, a philosopher who championed the theory of the Records. He felt that they were the key to resolving many anomalies in history and science.
A final, but not last, word
In his book, “Science and the Akashic Field and the Re-enactment of the Cosmos”, László brought the world a scientific theory concerning the A-Field and its function as the medium by in which everything flows in and out of the vacuum. This field, also known as Zero Point Energy, is compared to the Akasha, or cosmic mind, universal consciousness and the field that unifies everything by László.
