The Akashic Records, also known as "The Book of Life", contain the entire history of each and every soul since creation.  It is like a huge central storehouse of information of each individual who has ever lived on earth. 

The Akashic Records contain not just events but every thought, word, emotion, action, feeling, intention, that has ever occurred at anytime in the history of the earth.

Edgar Cayce taught that the Akashic records are interactive and have a large influence on our every day living, our feelings, beliefs, relationships and the realities we draw to us.

The Akashic Records is thought to be a field of energy because it is composed of Akasha which is the energetic substance from which all life is formed.
