QUOTES FROM, Ervin Laszlo, SCIENCE AND THE AKASHIC FIELD ,An Integral Theory of Everything, (2004), Inner Traditions, Rochester, Vermont.


“… the theory’s crucial feature: the revolutionary discovery that at the roots of reality there is an interconnecting, information-conserving and information-conveying cosmic field…called the Akashic Field.” (p.3)

“ … a deep schism arose between humankind and the rest of reality with the ascendance of the rational mind.” (p.14)

“… life and mind are integral elements... a comprehensive and intensely meaningful universe. “ (p.15)

“ The universe as a whole manifests fine-tuned correlations that defy commonsense explanation… transpersonal connections between the consciousness of one person and the mind and body of another.” (p.45)

“ There is not only matter and energy in the universe, but also a more subtle yet real element: information in the form of active and effective in-formation. Information of this kind connects all things in space and time…” (p.46)

“… the concept of the vacuum transformed from empty space into the medium that carries the zero-point field.” (p.47)

“The quantum vacuum, it appears, transports light, energy, pressure, and sound.” (p.50)

“ The quantum vacuum, Mitchell said, is the holographic information mechanism that records the historical experience of matter.” (p.51)

“ Thus, if the vacuum is a truly frictionless medium, the wave memory of the universe may be eternal.” (p.53)

“ The quantum vacuum generates the holographic field that is the memory of the universe.” (p.55)

“…the zero-point field of the quantum vacuum is not only a super dense energy field; it is also a super-rich information field – the holographic memory of the universe. “ (p.56)

“… things in the real world are not entirely separate from each other. Not only are they linked by flows of energy; but they are also linked by flows of information.” (p.106)

“… the A-field subtly tunes all things to all other things and accounts for the coherence we find in the cosmos, as well as in living nature.” (p. 108)

“…the A-field links things and events in the universe at staggering speeds – a billion times the velocity of light.” (p.108)

“The “Bang” that gave birth to our universe, and the vacuum in which it occurred, was informed by a prior universe – a previous cycle of the Metaverse.” (p.109)

“The A-field gives us a simple and logical explanation of the fine-tuned features of our own universe….they were informed by prior universes.” (p.110)

“ But the mixing of the molecules on the surface of the primeval Earth was not purely random: it was informed by the traces of already evolved life!” (p.111)

“ Life on Earth was informed by life elsewhere in the universe – just as Earth life now informs life on other life-bearing planets, wherever they may exist in this galaxy and beyond.” (p.112)

“ All that happens in one place happens also in other places; all that happened at one time happens also at all times after that. Nothing is “local,” limited to where and when it is happening. All things are global, indeed cosmic, for the memory of all things extends to all places and all times.” (p.116)

“…the universe existed prior to the birth of our
universe, and it will continue to exist after our universe’s demise. The universe is the Metaverse, the mother of our universe and perhaps of myriad other universes. “ (p.123)

“…the Metaverse was there before all universes.” (p.125)

“ We must admit that there must have been an original creative act, an act of “metaversal Design.” (p.125)

“…each universe is more evolved than the one before.” (p.131)

“ We have every reason to believe that the kind of life we know on Earth is not limited to this planet. Life arose over four billion years ago, and since then it has been evolving inexorably…” (p.132)

“ … up to one-million intelligent civilizations could exist in our galaxy.” (p.134)

“ And life in the Metaverse need not end with the devolution of local universes. While life in each local universe must end, it can evolve again in the universes that follow.” (p.139)

“ The view that space is empty and passive, and not even real to boot, is in complete opposition to the view we get from contemporary physics.” (p.142)

“Typically, the experience of after-death communication is clear, vivid, and thoroughly convincing.” (p.158)

“The conclusion is evident. We as individuals are not immortal, but our experience is. The traces of everything we have ever experienced persist, and they can be forever recalled.” (p.161)

“ We humans, too, create an Akashic record of our lifetime experiences, a record that can be retrieved by others.” (p.162)

“ The cosmic proto-consciousness that endowed the primeval plenum with its universe-creative potentials becomes a fully articulated cosmic- consciousness – it becomes, and thenceforth eternally is, the self-realized mind of God.” (p.167)

“ Things in the real world are indeed strongly – “internally,” “intrinsically,” and even “non-locally” – connected and correlated with each other,” (p.177)

“ Although a mystical experience does not provide proof of internal relations between one’s mind and the mind of others, it does provide an incentive to study the possibility that such relations exist.” (p.177)

“…things in the real world are intrinsically inter-connected…” (p.177).
