From Acacia to Akasha

The Akashic records exist. They contain and preserve the information and memories of what has been, of what is, and, very probably, of what will be.Akasha is a Sanskrit term that indicates what we identify as "ether". In Hinduism, it is used to denote the basic essence of all things in the material world. Akasha is one of the Panchamahabhuta or "Five Great Elements", whose primary characteristic is Shabda, sound. Yes, sound, the power of the creative word, which is magic itself. Akasha, the ether therefore, is that cosmic substance invisible to the human sense organs in which every existing thing is immersed. A great collective unconscious generated before the formation of the four primordial elements: fire, air, water and earth. The ether or Akasha is therefore the first cosmic substance associated with the Great Mother, originated from her love.According to Rudolf Steiner, «Akasha, by virtue of its ability to contain and connect together every event in space and time, represents a kind of universal library that brings together all the knowledge of the world».If you have seen (but above all understood) Interstellar, the extraordinary 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew McConaughey, perhaps you will have an idea of what Akasha truly is and its implications and potential.
