It is believed to exist on the higher astral and lower mental planes and to be accessible by the super consciousness through the subconscious mind in deep trance states induced through hypnosis, self-hypnosis, meditation and guided meditation It is a function of the Astral Light to retain all that has ever happened in thought and deed; hence the Akashic Records are the enduring records of everything that has ever happened and the repository of all knowledge and wisdom, and the files of every personal memory.
