The Akashic Records – IV
Striving is what animates the swirl of the thought forms in the akashic records – what we take as time. Striving is the real cause or source of what is going on; moreover, this constant change and flux is completely random and chaotic. For example, it has nothing whatsoever to do with competition for scarce resources, as the materialists would have it. So to try to conceive of it at all we focus on arbitrary levels, and divide the lowest (most “recent” or “closest”) levels of movement – those relating to humanness – into four, which are the Four Faculties or moods. But this is merely a convenience to enable us to get a handle on the unspeakable.
All any sentient being is at any given moment of time is a set of tendencies this way and that; and the force which makes them appear to be a single, separated, being which persists in linear time is death. Death is what keeps separated beings separated. First there’s birth, and then this happens, that happens, and the other happens; and then there’s death. That personal history, or album of thought form snapshots, is made of death; that is to say, the collection of thought forms apparently taking place in linear time – which separated beings perceive as their lives – that matrix of individuality, is just death. That’s all death is: the sequencing of an arbitrary collection of thought forms. Many of those same thought forms are bound up in other collections of other deaths and those are what we have termed probable realities (Body of Fate). Death is what keeps these thought form collections or lines of memory separated.
The real movement or emanation lies beneath the thought forms. Although it seems to Mr. or Ms. Sentient Being that they persist in time and space, in fact they are in a constant flux. All there is at any given moment are tendencies this way and that, like schools of fish that momentarily are oriented in the same direction. The tendencies this way and that we apprehend as the moods which inform the moment (mold the thought forms which sentient beings create, i.e., the events which happen to them in their lives). These tendencies in turn are influenced by the complete pattern of evolutionary memory of all the thought forms which have ever existed and ever will exist; namely the akashic records.
