Back in the 70's I did Past Life Readings, like E.
Cayce, one day coming "out" of that state of awareness, I said..."I don't
know if I'm reading a person's Past LIFE, or their DNA.
That was way before home computers and
understandings about DNA.
I've been reading about DNA and following my experiences
connected to this over the years.
Conclusions..none yet, it's ongoing revelation.
However, we could be our own great great grandparent, or their DNA is in our DNA
of course, so in a "reading" is it the DNA...Akasha Records?
HUM..ponder on
this I shall...(Yoda Speak)..Ana
AKASHA RECORDS:

The Akashic Records

The Akashic Records refer to the frequency gird programs that create
our reality. The Akashic records (Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning
"sky", "space" or "aether") are collectively understood to be a
collection of mystical knowledge that is encoded in the aether; i.e. on
a non-physical plane of existence. The concept is prevalent in New Age
discourse. The Akashic Records are understood to have existed since the
beginning of The Creation and even before. Just as we have various
specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist
various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc)
encoding Universal lore. Most writings refer to the Akashic Records in
the area of human experience but it is understood that all phenomenal
experience as well as transcendental knowledge is encoded therein.

History of Akashic Records
Those who champion the truth of the Akashic Records assert that they
were accessed by ancient people of various cultures, including the
Indians, Moors, Tibetans, and other peoples of the Himalaya,
Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians,
Druids and Mayans. It is held that the ancient Indian sages of the
Himalayas knew that each soul, jiva, atma, or entity recorded every
moment of its existence in a "book", and that if one attuned oneself
properly then one could access that book (refer mindstream for
example).
Nostradamus claimed to have gained access to the Akasha, using methods derived from
the Greek oracles, Christian and Sufi mysticism, and the Kabbalah.
Other individuals who claim to have consciously used the Akashic
Records include: Charles Webster Leadbeater, Annie Besant, Alice
Bailey, Samael Aun Weor, William Lilly, Manly P. Hall, Lilian Treemont,
Dion Fortune, George Hunt Williamson, Rudolf Steiner, Max Heindel and
Edgar Cayce amongst others.
A Chinese man named Sujujin was reported to need only the first
name of anyone to access the Akasha and describe their life history.
Another Chinese seer, named Tajao, explored a variety of topics in the
Records which span over two thousand years.
In Surat Shabda Yoga cosmology, the Akashic Records would be located within the causal plane of Trikuti.

Description and Explanation of the Akashic records
The Akasha is said to be the library of all events and responses
concerning consciousness in all realities. Every lifeform therefore
contributes and has access to the Akashic Records. It is asserted that
to gain access into the Akashic Records, every individual human can
become the physical medium, and various techniques and spiritual
disciplines (e.g., yogic, pranayama, meditation, prayer, visualization)
can be employed to quiet the mind, become a "witness", and achieve the
focused, preconscious state necessary to access the Records.
While accessing the Akashic Records, both the events and
responses are said to be perceived. This is analogous to having a
meta-enhanced cinematic experience. When accessing the future, the
events are known, but the responses are only probable. Based on an
individual's responses in the past, the Akashic seer/reader can
investigate probable future responses and give the highest future
probability.
A simple illustration of this might be witnessing several
alternate endings to the main characters in a movie (e.g., Run, Lola, Run).
At some point in the evolution of the Akashic reader, however, a state
of unification and awareness can be achieved whereby even the future
responses are known with absolute clarity instead of only as a
probability.

Claims and Skepticism
Believers in the Akasha make many claims about how widely the Akasha was used, including:

• The
  claim that in Egypt, those who could read the Akasha were held in high
  standing and would advise the Pharaohs on daily activities and dream
  interpretation.


• The claim that the Druid cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales
  and England demonstrated the ability to access the
  Akasha.


• The claim that the Bible refers to the Akasha records as the
  Book of Life in both the Old Testament (Psalm 69:28) and the New
  Testament (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12, 20:15
  and Revelation 21:27 "Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will
  anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose
  names are written in the Lamb's book of life.")

Despite claims that the Akashic Records have been used by mystics
throughout history, there are not any direct references to the Akasha
to be found in any of the historical documentation of the
aforementioned groups. The term Akasha itself, along with the concept
of an aetheric library, originated with the 19th century movement of
Theosophy. Skeptics say that the concept of Akashic Records has been
attributed indiscriminately and inappropriately to a wide range of
historical religious figures and movements.


Specific Accounts of the Akashic Records
In Theosophy and New Age discourse the Akashic Records are records of
all knowledge, including all human experience, held in the Universe.
The Akashic Records are metaphorically described as a library and are
also likened to a universal computer or the 'Mind of God'.
The Akashic Records are referred to by Edgar Cayce,
who stated that each person is held to account after life and
'confronted' with their personal Akashic record of what they have or
have not done in life in a karmic sense. The idea is comparable to the
biblical Book of Life which is consulted to see whether or not the dead are admitted to heaven.
