Speaking about the Akashics is sometimes like the 7 blind men describing the elephant. One says it’s a tree because he’s touching a leg, the other says it’s a snake because he’s touching the trunk, another that it’s stone because he’s touching the side, etc. Each of us approaches the Akashics through our own filter of experience and knowledge in this body we inhabit. Some people describe the Akashics as if it were a monotheistic personality that is a Christian/Judeo god replacement. It’s the loving, all knowing being that supports you in becoming one with it. Others focus on it as an ever created/creating entity which we are responsible for maintaining and managing. All of our actions affect it positively or negatively (because there is nothing in between for some reason) and we must gear ourselves not only to create positive experiences for it but also repair all the negative ones that have gone before.
I realize that it is the path of least resistance to talk in polarities (black/white, republic/democrat, good/evil) and everyone wants to use the most obvious, passionate and clearest examples to get their point across. I get it. But I get frustrated and, to be honest, bored with these conversations. The world is a kaleidoscope of possibilities. It’s an amazing array of shades of grey which gives me hope and makes my heart sing. I don’t want life to be a form of advertising that gets shouted at me ever more loudly until I can’t shut out all the opinions. I want it to be an adventure through possibilities.
Which is why I just shake my head at descriptions of the Akashics that I read. On the one hand it’s a biblical god and is responsible for everything and on the other it’s a victim of our actions and needs to be treated like an infant or invalid. Why should it be either? Why should it be that simplistic or monochromatic? The only thing that I can know for sure is that I might be wrong, to quote Martha Beck, so my opinion is just that, mine and an opinion. However, when I work with the Akashics I tend to experience it the same way that I experience the Earth. It is a living organism which both affects me and is affected by me. I theorize about it’s entirety because I cannot know it personally at that level. I experience it locally wherever I am and marvel at it’s simplicity and complexity and the relationship I have with it. I try to keep it in mind in all the things I do, but I don’t serve it’s needs any more than I serve anyone else’s. I’m still trying to figure out how to serve my own. I don’t see it as a deity, I see it as a fellow being. It doesn’t have to be like me to be respected, liked, or even cherished. All it has to do is be, just like all the rest of us. Of course, I could be wrong about that…
