The Akashic Records – I
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel at the bottom hard by the living creatures, at the four faces thereof. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel. – Ezekiel I:15 – 16
Pisces 12: A very large disk consisting of circles of light with dark grey interspaces. These circles resemble wheels within wheels, which I find on closer examination to be spiral, all revolving. – The Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized by Charubel, Fowler London 1907
What these seers were seeing and trying to describe is the organization of the universe (the thought form part of it anyway); namely, the akashic records: swirling spiral chains of thought forms; infinite lines of scene after scene after scene stretching to infinity, in an infinity of sequences, which from a distance resemble whirling helical cones made of filaments of living light – light which glows with awareness, which exudes awareness.
The image given to William Butler Yeats was that of two interpenetrating gyres (conical spirals) twirling this way and that; the image given to me (and also to Busteed, Tiffany and Wergin) was that of wheels within wheels, and wheels upon wheels – i.e. cycles within cycles within cycles, all spinning this way and that. But in fact these images are merely images, because there is NO order or regularity in the universe. Our perceptions are orderly and regular, but that has nothing to do with the actual universe, which is utterly chaotic. Our perceptions are of order and regularity, but – contrary to popular opinion – they are not perceptions of the universe. For example, what we perceive as the linear sequence of time is actually the shift of attention between different levels of memory.
The reason the spirits suggested these images (gyres or wheels) is to represent time as something other than a straight line. These models of time are no more correct than the well-ordered continuum model because the universe, being utterly chaotic, cannot be modeled except by chaos. Nonetheless the gyre or wheels-within-wheels models are closer to the truth than the linear model because they are more representative of what is actually going on than is the linear model. The linear model describes time in waking consciousness, wherein all we are dealing with is a single sequence of personal history and future (Will); but this model fails when we go beyond that and enter the realm of dreaming, wherein we are considering all past and future lives and probable realities (Mask) – the totality of our being rather than one particular ramification of it (Will = this present lifetime). Thus the gyre and wheels-within-wheels are more inclusive or encompassing models of time than is linearity.
