The “Akashic Records” to “Do Your Research” Pipeline
Theosophists, Steiner, Cayce, and the original conspirituality internet
I first heard the phrase “Akashic Records” at Endeavor Academy, a Course in Miracles-based cult in Wisconsin Dells, where I was a member from 1999 to 2003. It was spoken breathlessly, with a dazed smile, and never clearly defined. But from what I gathered, it referred to a vast library, written in some inner dimension, or in outer space, that described and predicted everything that had or would occur. Containing everything, the Records were the ultimate divinatory tool for the adept who could “read” them.
It made sense that the term would be whispered in the cult’s cafeteria and hallways, for two reasons.
First: Endeavor Academy positioned itself as a cult-at-the-end-of-the-cult-world, a place where refugees from Rajneeshpuram, SYDA, ISKCON, Scientology — and in my case, neo-Tibetan Buddhism — could find refuge from their former “corrupt” institutions, while still remaining isolated from the real world of families, professions, financial obligations, institutions, and politics. Members brought all manner of beliefs and jargon. “Akashic Record” was part of the ideological flotsam and jetsam of our cultic shipwreck.
