In his readings, Mr. Cayce, tells us that at the superconscious
level, we can gain access to the Akashic Record, a chronicle of everything
that has ever been thought, said, or done by everyone who has ever lived.
The Akashic Record, also referred to in the reading as the Book of Life
or the Book of God's Remembrance, can be thought of as the revelation
of the Creator's all-emcompassing wisdom and knowledge.
Reading Number 2533-8 asked, "What is the Book of Life?" ANSWER:
"The record that the individual entity itself writes upon the skein
of time and space, through patience - and is opened when self has attuned
to the infinite, and may be read by those attuning to that consciousness."
The following excerpt from Chapter 11 of "Edgar Cayce on Channeling
Your Higher Self" by Henry Reed (Copyright 1989 by The Association
for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.) describes Mr. Cayce's hypnotic journey
to the Hall of Records. (A verbatim account of his waking description
of his journey in the trance state taken from comments he made at a public
lecture.)
"I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical
body, which lies inert before me. I find myself oppressed by darkness
and a feeling of terrific loneliness. Suddenly I am conscious of a white
beam of light. As this tiny dot, I move upward following the light,
knowing that I must follow it or be lost.
"As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious
of various levels upon which there is movement. Upon the first levels
there are vague horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in
nightmares. Passing on, there begin to appear on either side misshapen
forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified. Again there
is change, and I become conscious of gray hooded forms moving downward.
Gradually, these become lighter in color. Then the direction changes
and these forms move upward and the color of the robes grows rapidly
lighter.
"Next there begin to appear on either side vague outlines of houses,
walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless. As I pass on, there
is more light and movement in what appear to be normal cities and towns.
With the growth of movement, I become conscious of sounds, at first
indistinct rumblings, then music, laughter, and the singing of birds.
There is more and more light, the colors become very beautiful, and
there is the sound of wonderful music. The houses are left behind, ahead
there is only a blending of sound and color.
"Quite suddenly I come upon a hall of records. It is a hall without
walls, without ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing an old man who
hands me a large book, a record of the individual for whom I seek information."
On other occasions, Cayce "felt himself to be in a bubble traveling
through water to arrive at the place where he got the information"
according to records in the A.R.E. library. In another instance, he
"went up and up through a very large column"; passing by all
the horrible things without coming in contact personally with them,
and came out where there was the house of records. It, the column, wound
around a wheel like the Rotarians have. He felt very secure traveling
that way. (End of excerpt.)
According to the readings, contact with both the subconscious
and the superconscious is possible for all minds making the infinite wisdom
of the superconscious available to each one of us. To communicate with
these levels of consciousness, we need the ability to put our egos aside
and attune ourselves to God, the universal source. In Edgar Cayce, this
ability was developed much more highly than in most (the readings attribute
this to his many lifetimes as a healer); but the sources that he drew
upon and the information he obtained are available to everyone.
