Akasha: The Most Mysterious of the Five Elements

SUMMARY: Akasha is ether and not space.

What does it take to Access Akashic Records?

Akasha is a boundless dimension. It is mystical in nature. It is one of the five elements of this creation. If we increase the proportion of Akasha in our makeup our ability to perceive is tremendously enhanced. This ability to perceive is different from intellect. It goes beyond the five senses. It gives the person a great sense of freedom in that one is not tied down to anything. It gives you mastery over the five elements. One goes beyond the sense of inward and outward. It is constantly going in and out as in breathing. The elements do not respect the boundary of your body. There is no privacy. You expose yourself completely to the elements. Move to a loser level of clothing. There must be space between your body and what you wear. Attention comes before any practice. By attention one knows there is a transaction (not by intellect).

First take charge of the most obvious transactions—breath, food, consumption of water, temperature of the body and outside. Just pay a little more attention to these obvious transactions. You will see that the experience of life will rise to a completely different level. Be aware of everything you are doing.

The possibility of knowing the dimensions of the beyond, and dipping into the mystical nature of existence is very much rooted in the elemental composition of who we are. Fantastic things can also turn your life upside down.

SUMMARY: Akasha seems to be the dimension of attention that is spread over everything that is contained in space—from matter to quantum particles to electromagnetic radiation to more esoteric particles and radiation related to sensations, emotions and thought. The attention is made up of awareness and curiosity. Akasha = “attention filling the space”.

DS 23 Summary

Reference: Data Series 23—PROPER FORMAT AND CORRECT ACTION

.

PROPER FORMAT AND CORRECT ACTION

When doing an Evaluation, one can become far too fixated on outpoints and miss the real reason one is doing an evaluation in the first place. To handle this, it is proper form to write up an Evaluation so as to keep in view the reason one is doing one. 

This is accomplished by using this form 

SITUATION: 
DATA: 
… STATS: 
WHY:
IDEAL SCENE:
HANDLING: 

A proper evaluation is all of a piece. There is consistency throughout.

OBSERVATION in general must be continuous for situations to be noted. A situation is defined as a not expected state of affairs. It is either very good or it is very bad. 

Data is the information one has received that alerts one to the situation. No matter how many reports one may see there is always a question as to their truth. So, one does NOT rely on reports, but an absence of reports, or a volume of reports carefully surveyed for outpoints and counted. Essentially, “data” regarded from the angle of outpoints is a lack of consistency. So the DATA you give is not a lot of reports. It is a brief summary of the “strings pulled” on the outpoint or plus point route to finally get the Why. The Why must be supported by actual investigation.

Situations and DATA trails are supported by Statistics. Where statistics are not in numeral form this may be harder. Where they are outright lies, this is an outpoint itself. One either has a numerical statistic or a direct observation. One can use both. Three or more stats on a scene can be compared to each other and often lead directly to a WHY. DO NOT give a Why or recommend handling without inspecting the actual stats. 

A real WHY must lead to a bettering of the existing scene or (in the case of a wonderful new scene) maintaining it as a new Ideal Scene. Therefore the WHY must be something you can do something about. It is not a prejudice or a good idea. It is where all the analysis led. 

If a bad situation is a departure from the ideal scene and if a good situation is attaining it or exceeding it, then the crux of any evaluation is THE IDEAL SCENE for the area one is evaluating. Viewpoint has a lot to do with the Ideal Scene. By CONSISTENCY the Ideal Scene must be one for that portion of an activity for which one is trying to find the Why. By giving the IDEAL SCENE for every situation, the evaluator is not led into a fatal contempt for the competence of all work actually being done. The Ideal Scene clarifies for one and all whither we are going. 

Handling must be CONSISTENT with the situation, the evaluation, the Why and the Ideal Scene. Handling must be WITHIN THE CAPABILITIES of those who will do the actions.  Handling must be WITHIN THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. The less are the resources available the brighter must be the idea required to attain effective handling. Handling must be SUPERVISED by one person who acts as a Coordinator of the Program and a checker-offer and de-bug expert. And last but most important handling must be EFFECTIVE AND FINAL. 

The handling is laid out as a PROGRAM made up of sequential TARGETS. It is expected that any complex or extensive target will have a PROJECT written for it by the person to whom it is assigned if not by the originator. When all targets are DONE full Situation handling can be expected. All such Evaluations should be REVIEWED as soon as the actions have had time to take effect. 

IT WILL BE FOUND THAT WHERE YOU HAVE A REAL WHY PEOPLE WILL COOPERATE ALL OVER THE SCENE. 

The keynotes are OBSERVE, EVALUATE, PROGRAM, SUPERVISE and REVIEW. The key to evaluation is handling DATA.

DS 22 Summary

Reference: Data Series 22—THE WHY IS GOD

.

THE WHY IS GOD

Having forgotten to keep seed grain for the spring, the farmer starves the following year and when asked WHY he is starving says it is the Gods, that he has sinned or that he failed to make sacrifice. In short, unable to think, he says “The Why is God.” 

This condition does not just affect primitives or backward people. All through the most modern organizations you can find “The WHY is God” in other forms. 

By believing that it is the fault of other divisions or departments, a staff member does not look into his own scene. “The reason I cannot load the lumber is because the Personnel section will not find and hire people.” It does not seem to occur to this fellow that he is using a WHY which he can’t control so it is not a WHY for his area. It does not move the existing to the ideal scene. Thus it is not a WHY for him. Yet he will use it and go on nattering about it. And the lumber never gets loaded. The real WHY for him more likely would be, “I have no right to hire day laborers. I must obtain this right before my area breaks down totally,” or “My department posts are too specialized. I need to operate on all hands actions on peak loads.” 

Survival is very closely tied to logic. If one finds he is sinking into apathy over his inability to get his job done, it is certain that he is operating on self-conceived wrong WHYs in areas that he cannot ever hope to control. And in living any life, most major points of decline can be traced to the person’s operating on whys that do not allow him to improve, his own scene. 

Strength and Power in the individual consists of being logical enough to find WHYs he can use to advance his existing scene toward the ideal scene. The Why is NOT God. It lies with YOU and your ability to be logical. 

God helps those who help themselves.

DS 20 Summary

Reference: Data Series

Reference: Data Series 20—MORE OUTPOINTS

.

MORE OUTPOINTS

While there could be many many oddities classifiable as outpoints, those selected and named as such are major in importance whereas others are minor. 

.

WRONG SOURCE 

“Wrong Source” is the other side of the coin of wrong target. Information taken from wrong source, orders taken from the wrong source, gifts or materiel taken from wrong source all add up to eventual confusion and possible trouble. 

Not only taking data from wrong source but officialdom from it can therefore be sufficiently aberrated as to result in planetary insanity. In a lesser level, taking a report from a known bad hat and acting upon it is the usual reason for errors made in management.

.

CONTRARY FACTS

When two statements are made on one subject which are contrary to each other, we have “Contrary facts”. Since one of them must be false, and one cannot offhand distinguish which is the false fact, it becomes a special outpoint. 

In interrogation this point is so important that anyone giving two contrary facts becomes a prime suspect for further investigation. “I am a Swiss Citizen” as a statement from someone who has had a German passport found in his baggage would be an example. 

These two outpoints will be found useful in analysis.

DS 19 Summary

Reference: Data Series

Reference: Data Series 19—THE REAL WHY

.

THE REAL WHY

WHY = that basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats.

WRONG WHY = the incorrectly identified outness which when applied does not lead to recovery.

A MERE EXPLANATION = a “Why” given as THE why that does not open the door to any recovery. 

Example: A mere explanation “The stats went down because of rainy weather that week.” So? So do we now turn off rain? Another mere explanation “The staff became overwhelmed that week.” An order saying “Don’t Overwhelm Staff” would be the possible “solution” of some manager. BUT THE STATS WOULDN’T RECOVER. 

The real WHY when found and corrected leads straight back to improved stats. A wrong why, corrected, will further depress stats. A mere explanation does nothing at all and decay continues.

Here is a situation as it is followed up: 

Stats are down in a school. An investigation comes up with a mere explanation: “The students were all busy with sports.” So management says “No sports!” Stats go down again. A new investigation comes up with a wrong why: “The students are being taught wrongly.” Management sacks the dean. Stats really crash now. A further more competent investigation occurs. It turns out that there were 140 students and only the dean and one instructor! And the dean had other duties! We put the dean back on post and hire two more instructors making three. Stats soar. Because we got the right why. 

An arbitrary is probably just a wrong why held in by law. And if so held in, it will crash the place. 

The test of the real WHY is “when it is corrected, do stats recover?” If they do that was it. And any other remedial order given but based on a wrong why would have to be cancelled quickly.
