In our old texts, Akasha is not first called a "record". It is the fifth element in the Panchamahabhuta, the space that holds everything else. The phrase "Akashic Records" came much later, through Theosophy in the late 1800s. But the idea is the same, na? Nothing that happens is ever lost. It stays in space itself. Swami Vivekananda explained this beautifully. He said the whole universe is made of Akasha (the stuff) and Prana (the force). He even discussed it with Nikola Tesla in 1896, and Tesla was quite taken by it. So science and our rishis have been sitting at the same table for a long time already. In a letter dated February 13, 1896, Vivekananda wrote that Tesla thought he could demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. What do you think ?
