Mystics
and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic
field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field
known as the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in vacuum physics show that
this Akashic Field is real and has its equivalent in science’s zero-point field
that underlies space itself. This field consists of a subtle sea of fluctuating
energies from which all things arise: atoms and galaxies, stars and planets,
living beings, and even consciousness. This zero-point Akashic Field is the
constant and enduring memory of the universe. It holds the record of all that
has happened on Earth and in the cosmos and relates it to all that is yet to
happen.
In Science and the Akashic Field, philosopher and
scientist Ervin Laszlo conveys the essential element of this information field
in language that is accessible and clear. From the world of science he confirms
our deepest intuitions of the oneness of creation in the Integral Theory of
Everything. We discover that, as philosopher William James stated, “We are like
islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”
