      Preface

      It is no exaggeration to state that the computer has transformed (and is still transforming) the planet. Whether it’s technology, transportation, communication, education, or entertainment, the computer age has revolutionized the globe and the ways that we understand and interact with one another. No segment of modern society has gone unaffected. The amount of information now stored in computer memory and crossing the internet highway daily is literally unfathomable. And yet, this vast complex of computer systems and collective databases cannot begin to come close to the power, the memory, or the omniscient recording capacity of the Akashic Records.

      For ease of understanding, the Akashic Records or “The Book of Life” can be likened to the universe’s supercomputer system. “Akasha” comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “boundless space” and is equated to the central storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived. More than just a reservoir of events, the Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and intent that has occurred at any time in the history of the world. Much more than simply a memory storehouse, these Akashic Records are interactive; they have a tremendous influence upon our everyday lives, our relationships, our feelings and belief systems, and the potentials and probabilities we draw toward us.

      The Akashic Records contain the history of every soul since the dawn of creation. These records connect each of us to one another. They contain the stimulus for every archetypal symbol or mythic story which has ever deeply touched patterns of human behavior and experience. They have been the inspiration for dreams and invention. They draw us toward or repel us from one another. They mold and shape levels of human consciousness. They are a portion of Divine Mind. They are the unbiased judge and jury that attempt to guide, educate, and transform every individual to become the very best that she or he can be. They embody an ever-changing fluid array of possible futures that are called into potential as we interact and learn from the data that has already been accumulated.

      Information about these Akashic Records—this Book of Life—can be found in folklore, in myth, and throughout the Old and New Testaments. It is traceable at least as far back as the Semitic peoples and includes the Arabs, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Babylonians, and the Hebrews. Among each of these peoples was the belief that there is in existence some kind of celestial tablets which contain the history of humankind as well as all manner of spiritual information.

      The first reference in Scripture to some nonearthly volume is found in Exodus 32:32. After the Israelites had committed a most grievous sin by worshiping the golden calf, it was Moses who pleaded on their behalf, offering to take full responsibility and have his own name stricken “out of thy book which thou hast written” in recompense for their deed. Later, in the Old Testament, we learn that there is nothing about an individual that is not known in this same book. In Psalm 139, David makes reference to the fact God has written down everything about him and all the details of his life—even that which is imperfect and those deeds which have yet to be performed.

      For many individuals this Book
