History of Akashic Records

The Akashic Records are collections of every imprint that each thought, event, action, and deed has embedded through energy into the “akasha”, which translates to soniferous ether or aether in Sanskrit language. The Akasha also refers to perpetually boundless space. Because of the information that the Akashic Records are believed to contain; these chronicles can be perceived as the collective histories of all beings that have ever existed, which are far more comprehensive, detailed, and holistic than any personal record in this worldly realm, or any historical account, can ever be. They go so far as to accurately contain even the most minute details of the entire human existence. Various cultures, peoples, civilizations, and other references from the past have indicated a keen awareness and belief in the existence of the Akashic Records.

It is held that the ancient Indian sages of the Himalayas now that each soul or entity recorded every moment of its existence in a “book”, and that if one attuned oneself properly then one could access that book through a mind-stream. The Akashic Records have been accessed by ancient people of various cultures, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Banpo, and other peoples of the Himalaya, Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Creeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians, Druids and Mayans. However, the term “Akashic Records” was only formally coined because of the Theosophy movement during the 19th century. In more recent times, skeptics and non-believers are inclined to believe that the underlying concept of the Akashic Records has been indiscriminately attributed to a variety of religious movements and personalities. Furthermore, the bulk of the scientific community rejects the idea, precisely because the Akashic Records have yet to yield substantial and verifiable physical evidence. The more commonly known labels used to refer to the Akashic Records were “The Book of Life”, or merely the heavenly library.

1. The earliest records that indicate references and awareness of Akashic Records can be traced back to ancient times. Peoples such as Babylonians, Phoenicians, and Semitics reportedly believed in the existence of celestial tablets. These tablets were said to contain information on everything that has transpired in the physical world. Apart from mere “physical” information, the said celestial tablets were also believed to contain chronicles of spiritual data.

2. In Hinduism, both the Vedas and the Sanskrit language itself were highly believed to have directly been formed from, and with, the Akasha.

3. The Bible mentions the Akashic Records, albeit using the label “Book of Life”; and Judeo-Christian beliefs associated the Book of Life with an eschatological concept—the Day of Judgment. The first time that the term was mentioned can be located in the Book of Exodus, particularly within the tale that recounts how Israelites have become disloyal to God by worshipping the Golden Calf. Another reference can be located in the Book of Psalms, wherein Kind David said that details about his life have already been recorded or written down by God. The details include both the good and bad deeds he has committed in his life.

4. Sages from the Himalayas believed that each and every soul has the whole of its existence inscribed within a record or book; and that with proper attunement, everyone can access and read it.

5. In China, a seer called Tajao explored and investigated several topics that are embedded in the Akashic Records. Furthermore, a gentleman called Sujujin reportedly only needed to acquire any person’s first name for everything else related to the Akashic Records to fall into place: Sujujin will be able to gain entry and read the Akashic Records and impart the person’s history.

6. For Egyptians from the ancient times, people who successfully gained access to the Akashic Records were highly esteemed in their society, particularly within the majestic context. Their successful means of tapping into the Records catapulted their roles as sacred advisers to the Pharaohs—on a variety of topics, ranging from the mundane trivialities of everyday life to the interpretation of dreams.

7. Several believers say that during the era of Druids from Wales and England, the Druids were able to successfully gain entry into the Celestial Hall and read the Akashic Chronicles.

8. Surat Shabda Yoga cosmology also has claims regarding where the Akashic Records can be found—in the Trikuti’s causal plane.

9. Nostradamus—the controversial man who was believed to have been able to prophesy future events, and particularly the end of the world— also claimed that he successfully accessed the Akashic Records through employing methods that were extracted from Greek oracles, the Kabbalah, and also from Sufi and Christian mysticism.

10. Other popular individuals who said that they accessed, read, and employed the information found within the Records are Annie Besant, Max Heindel, Edgar Cayce, George Hunt Williamson, Dion Fortune, Charles Webster Leadbeater, and Rudolf Steiner.

History of the Sacred Akashic Records Prayer

It is said that in the beginning, not all humans were given access to the Akashic Records, but as time went on, the creators desired man to become a creator in his own dimension. So the Records were opened to all, accessible to all. When the time ended for the Mayan Civilization on Earth, there were but a few individuals left who still held the vibrational key for accessing the precious Records—and this was maintained with reverence and purity.  

The story began with a man named Johnny Prochaska, a Spanish nobleman of Czechoslovakian lineage, who married into the royal Spanish family. He moved with his family into the Spanish Quarters of Mexico City when civil strife brought Franco to power in Spain.

One day Johnny was to travel for business, but his plane was delayed, so he wandered through the Mexico City barrios to pass the time. As he rounded a crowded street corner, he had an unexpected encounter. A strikingly familiar woman stood in a doorway before him, beckoning him to come. Her face was that of an ancient Mayan woman, and she was one who had called to him in his dreams over the course of three years. As Johnny entered her doorway, she exclaimed, “So! At last you come!”

She told him of the Old Ones, who brought the “knowledge of time” that we now refer to as the Akashic Records; they had brought this sacred information to the earth from far away. The woman guided Johnny on a journey to an ancient sacred site in the mountains, and there he made a deliberate choice to bring the knowledge of the Akashic Records to humanity. Through ceremony, he was given knowledge of the sacred prayer. He was to teach the use of this prayer, which would open the Records to humankind and reawaken all who sought the knowledge. Johnny translated the sacred prayer into Spanish and then English.

Johnny returned to the United States in the late 1960s and began teaching people how to access the Akashic Records for themselves and others. He taught Mary Parker, and she is but one of two who live from that time. Johnny returned to Mexico in the late 1970s where he lived out the rest of his life.

Mary Parker began training consultants and teachers of the sacred prayer method in the late 1980s, and in 2001, she created Akashic Record Consultants International (ARCI), an educational not-for-profit organization that trains and assists those who further the work of the Akashic Records. Mary resides in Odessa, Texas, and each teacher of our technique keeps in touch with her on a regular basis. We continue our exploration and training of the Akashic Records independently and as a group.

This prayer has been taught for 25 years since Johny Prochaska originally educated Mary Parker about accessing the Akashic Records in his class. What appears to be a simple God-centered prayer in English vibrationally supports a very deep, sensitive internal perspective. The prayer opens the ability to access and hold the connection to the Akashic Records. From this profound vantage point, we assist others and ourselves in answering questions from the level of the soul. This level is filled with light, compassion and understanding. Through questions, specific focus is revealed in the vast Akashic Field. The questions answered are the ones that are truly heartfelt and real, dealing with in-depth development. The actual answers and questions are not linear, but deal with quality of life and underlying influences.

The prayer has five remarkable and distinctive levels of alignment. In summary, it calls forward a shield of protection which is love and truth, it fully attunes to the great consciousnesses who protect and are part of the Akashic Record field of energy, it allows the levels of consciousness to align with the process, and it activates the neutral observer who brings the inner teacher into focus.

The simplicity of the prayer holds power and moves the consciousness well beyond thinking of everyday life. It offers assistance into deep transcended states and is viewed as sacred. In this state of reverence, we nurture an inner space of stillness through the heart. Remarkably, the heart energy greatly expands when uninterrupted, and a depth of wisdom emerges bringing clarity and elucidation to life.

As you read the prayer, you are being moved into an expanded state of consciousness. This state is anchored in the physical dimension yet can register the more subtle impressions and vibrations of the dimension of the Akashic Records. Also occurring simultaneously:

• The vibration of your current legal name calls up the Records of your soul. Your Records are then brought forward by the Lords of the Records and are given to your Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones. They, in turn, "download" the specific information that you will need for this particular reading.
• Energy from the Heart of the Akashic Records moves down through your crown and registers its vibration deep behind your heart center. Your heart center is your "receptor site" for the information you'll receive from the Records. When this energetic anchoring is complete, the shift in your consciousness will also be complete.
