The
Akashic Experience
The
Akashic Experience

PB AUD33.00
The term Akashic comes from the
Sanskrit language and translates as “cosmic
sky“. The Hindu seers believe that Akashic
is the 1st and most fundamental of the five
elements (the others being fire, air, water,
earth) and that all things arise from and re-descend
into this cosmic sky.
Laslzo defines an Akashic experience
as “ .. a real, lived experience that conveys
a thought, image or intuition that was not,
nor very likely could not have been transmitted
by our senses at the time it happened or at
anytime beforehand” This is a wordy answer
and maybe can be summarised as “ conveys
information on the world beyond the brain and
body”
The book is built on the first
hand experiences of twenty authorities from
a range of disciplines. Each essay falls into
one of the three parts - recounts of lived Akashic
experiences, how Akashic experiences can be
used in everyday life and Akashic experiences
that have been subjected to scientific research.
The experiences are compelling reading and add
another dimension to the material. Two stood
out for me; Stanislav Grof because of his research
into altered states of consciousness and how
he has linked this to the Akashic field and
Edgar Mitchell’s story of his own epiphany
as he looked at earth from Apollo 14.
Laszlo summarises the scientific theory supporting
the Akashic field in an easy to understand manner
and helps to bring all the shared experiences
together although I didn’t experience a
“The End’ feeling as I reached the
last page.
