Akashic records are everywhere

'In reading 254-67, Cayce said that the Akashic Records could be read by a psychic, but they could also be deduced by the individual who had written the record to begin with. Asked how this was possible, the reading confirmed that the records were everywhere and were manifested through one’s consciousness by means of the five senses. In other words, our patterns and our abilities become evident through what we say, what we write, what we choose to see, and what we choose to hear. According to Cayce, each of these things, as well as our thoughts, are [sic] affected by the “shadows” of what is written upon the records themselves. Clarity of obtaining specific information is dependent upon why the information is being sought in the first place.'
Kevin Todeschi (1998). Edgar Cayce on Akashic Records: Book of Life. p. 87.

People interested in spiritual/paranormal subjects tend to think that the Akashic Records, the greatest archival records containing every act of human being, exist somewhere in the farthest corner in the Space, but that does not seem to be true.

Basically, anyone can access the records at any time, especially through awareness and/or inner knowings.

Purpose of life

'... the purpose of life is not simply to be born into a family, go to school, get a job, acquire material goods, create a family of one's own, grow older and then eventually die, leaving one's descendants and family members to repeat the very same cycle. Instead, the purpose of life is to go through a series of experiences that will eventually enable the soul to awaken to its ultimate level of spiritual awareness. On one occasion, that level of awareness was described as "the awareness within each soul, imprinted in pattern on the mind and waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with God." (5749-14) Awakening to that level of conscious awareness is the destiny of each and every soul.'
K. Todeschi. Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma. p. 8.

You are never alone

"May you all realize that you are never alone, but always encompassed around and about by a host of those who love you, who seek to guard and guide you and to help and inspire you. And may you, as you unfold your own spirits, realize that you are being drawn closer to the greatest Spirit of all, becoming more in unison with his law."
K. Kondo trans. and ed. Silver Birch: Kyo no Kotoba. p. 175.

Amenimo Makezu ("Unbeaten by Rain")


"Amenimo Makezu" ("Unbeaten by Rain")

 Kenji Miyazawa

Translated by Catherine Iwata, Rev. French Ulrich, Sophie Sampson, Helen Bartos, Minaeri park, Mokmi Park and Yasuko Akiyama



Unbeaten by rain
Unbeaten by wind
Unbowed by the snow and the summer heat
Strong in body

Free from greed
Without any anger
Always serene

With a handful of brown rice a day
Miso and a small amount of vegetables suffice

Whatever happens
Consider yourself last, always put others first
Understand from your observation and experience
Never lose sight of these things

In the shadows of the pine groves in the fields
Live modestly under a thatched roof

In the East, if there is a sick child
Go there and take care of him
In the West, if there is an exhausted mother
Go there and relieve her of her burden
In the South, if there is a man near death
Go there and comfort him, tell him “Don’t be afraid”
In the North, if there is an argument and a legal dispute
Go there and persuade them it’s not worth it

In a drought, shed tears
In a cold summer, carry on
Even with a sense of loss

Being called a fool
Being neither praised nor a burden

Such a person
I want to be

Look Forward

"Hold your head high: look forward, not backward. The pages of the past have been turned; they cannot be turned again. There are always fresh pages in the book of life waiting for you to turn them. Live for the day, not yesterday. It is today that you will sow the seeds of a harvest that you will reap on the morrow."
Kazuo Kondo trans. and ed. (2008) Silver Birch: Kyo no Kotoba.
(Silver Birch: Words for Today) p. 97.


Energy attracts reality

When a person yearns for a thing--a situation in life, an opportunity, some kind of material abundance--this act of yearning sets up powerfu...
