# Akashic Records > Akashic Records describe total awareness and access to information within consciousness rather than a stored repository located elsewhere in space or time. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/akashic-records # Akashic Records *A near shelf-like crystal reflection rests within a boundaryless reflective water field* Across these exchanges, Bashar uses “Akashic Records” as a name for total awareness and access to information within consciousness. When asked where it fits relative to higher planes, he answers “Right here,” while also allowing that it may be given a “vibrational strata” experienced differently from different dimensional points of view. This is the corpus’s metaphysical framing, not an independently established account of consciousness. > — Baggage Claim (qa-10), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/baggage-claim) > — Baggage Claim (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/baggage-claim) > — Consciousness (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/consciousness) ## Awareness rather than a location Within this account, the records are “the very fabric of the consciousness upon which the experiences of the consciousness are written.” The label therefore describes the relationship between the whole and its components; the same exchange leaves room for a “vibrational strata” whose appearance differs across dimensional viewpoints, rather than defining one fixed spatial location. > — Baggage Claim (qa-10), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/baggage-claim) > — Baggage Claim (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/baggage-claim) ## Information as contact within consciousness *One water reflection comes into temporary focus within a broader diffuse field* When asked whether information is obtained by scanning the records or consciousness itself, Bashar answers “Many different things.” He includes scanning consciousness and oneself, and sometimes checking in with future selves, higher selves, other consciousnesses, spirit guides, or a collective mentality; he concludes that all of it is “a standing within consciousness.” The answer makes the records one possible description in a broader source-specific account of information contact, not a single exclusive mechanism. > — Consciousness (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/consciousness) ## Belief, perception, and practical interpretation The Baggage Claim exchange qualifies access experientially: Bashar says the records are perceived through belief systems “if we are able to perceive it.” For a learner considering this teaching, the practical question it raises is not where the records are, but how beliefs may shape what is perceived. The source does not supply an external test for such perception, so the claim should be held as part of its metaphysical framework rather than as verified fact. > — Baggage Claim (qa-10), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/baggage-claim) The Consciousness exchange also resists reducing information to a single technique: in the surrounding verbatim exchange, Bashar says the form of contact “We'll depend upon the creation of the exchange at the time.” A supported application is therefore to distinguish the proposed forms of contact, rather than assume that every question has one record-like source or a fixed procedure for accessing it. > — Consciousness (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/consciousness) ## Representative passages Right here. What you euphemistically refer to as the Akashic Records is simply the idea of the total awareness of the one of all that it is, and the accessibility by any of the components to access the information of the one. It is, in a sense, the very fabric of the consciousness upon which the experiences of the consciousness are written. We perceive it through our belief systems if we are able to perceive it.— Bashar, Many different things. Many times will be the idea you call accoctious record. Now, understand everything is a scanning of consciousness. It is also a scanning within ourselves.— Bashar, ## Related - [Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/consciousness) - [Imagination](https://sassani.app/topic/imagination) - [Vibration](https://sassani.app/topic/vibration) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/akashic-records.
