Definition:
Some people believe that everything that has ever happened - every event, every
thought, every action, every feeling since the beginning of time - has been accurately
"recorded" in "Akasha," an astral light which exists beyond the range of our natural
senses. The term Akasha is derived from the Sanskrit for "ether."
Thus, these records are called the "Akashic Records" and they are supposed to be accessible by a few spiritually mature individuals who can step outside of the limitations imposed by our physical form. Supposedly, through meditation, a person who understands the astral plane can engage in astral projection and, thus, have access to the astral records stored there.
Some believe that access to the records is controlled by a spirit guide who may only allow you to see your records (like past lives) or who may also allow you to see the records of others. It is in this fashion that things like clairvoyancy and prophecy are supposed to be possible.

Skepticism & Critical Thinking
This is the main index for issues dealing with skepticism, critical thinking, logic and arguments. The first section is Critical Thinking itself - how to think about claims and arguments you hear, how to critique arguments, and how to formulate your own arguments such that they are more likely to be sound and valid. The second section is about Skeptical Investigations - the practical application of the critical thinking skills covered in the first section. Here you will find critiques of things like astrology, alternative medicine, parapsychology, the New Age and more.
