The Akashic Experience
WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT MEANS
WHAT IS AN AKASHIC EXPERIENCE?
This volume is dedicated to the exploration of a fundamental yet in the modern
world widely neglected aspect of life and consciousness: the “Akashic
experience.” It contains twenty firsthand reports on this experience by serious,
widely known, and highly credible individuals. The accounts make fascinating
reading. Before getting down to reading them, however, readers may ask, just
what is an “Akashic experience”? The question is to the point and merits a
prompt answer.
To give a basic definition of the Akashic experience—unlike giving a
scientific explanation of it—is not difficult. An Akashic experience is a real,
lived experience that conveys a thought, an image, or an intuition that was not,
and very likely could not have been, transmitted by our senses either at the time
it happened or at anytime beforehand—at least not in our current lifetime. In a
popular, though overused and misused formulation, the Akashic experience is a
lived experience in the extra or nonsensory mode.
The Akashic experience comes in many sizes, forms, and flavors, to all
kinds of people, and all its varieties convey information on the real world—the
world beyond the brain and the body. The experience ranges from artistic
visualizations and creative insights to nonlocal healings, near-death experiences,
after-death communications, and personal past life recollections.
Notwithstanding the great variety in which it occurs, the Akashic experience has
strikingly uniform features. Whatever else it may contain, the Akashic
experience conveys the sense that the experiencing subject is not separate from
the objects of his or her experience—the sense that “I, the experiencing subject,
am linked in subtle but real ways to other people and to nature.” In deeper
experiences of this kind there is a sense that “the cosmos and I are one.”
In its many variations, the kind of experience reported in this book suggests
that it comes from somewhere beyond our brain and body, and that the
information on which it is based is conserved somewhere beyond our brain and
body. The Akashic experience gives clear testimony that we are connected to an
information and memory field objectively present in nature. In my book Science
and the Akashic Field, I have given a detailed rationale for naming this
astonishing, but in traditional cultures long recognized, reality the Akashic field.1
Here, a preliminary look at cutting-edge science and its rediscovery of this
remarkable facet of ancient Indian philosophy will help to explain this name and
the nature of the experience to which it refers.
SCIENCE AND THE AKASHIC EXPERIENCE
Science is currently undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift. The currently
dominant paradigm of separate material things connected by mechanistic
relations of cause and effect is failing; there are ever more things and processes
it cannot account for. Classical science’s conception of the universe has turned
out to be flawed. The primary “stuff” of the universe is energy and not matter,
and space is neither empty nor passive—it’s filled with virtual energies and
information. The universe is an evolving integral system, staggeringly coherent
and interconnected.
Leading scientists are discovering a deeper dimension of the universe, a
dimension variously called physical space-time, hyperspace, holofield, implicate
order, or nuether. This dimension is associated with the mysterious virtual-
energy sea misleadingly called “quantum vacuum” (misleading because this
deep dimension is not part of the quantum world but underlies it; and it’s not a
vacuum but a plenum: it’s filled, not empty, space). The unified vacuum—
effectively a cosmic plenum—carries the famous zero-point field (ZPF), and
grand-unified and super-grand-unified theories ascribe all the fields and forces of
nature to it. It is the unified field sought by Einstein near the end of his life.
