The fifth element of Pythagoras. A celestial ether, or astral light that fills all space. According to occult teaching every thought and action which takes place in the material world, is recorded in this akashic medium, whereby one possessed of psychis vision can read and translate the panorama of history: the Akashic Records. They also hint that some day science will be able to tap this record, probably through some application of radio reception, and thus draw upon and even re-enact the words and actions of past ages. Cf. Blavatsky’s “Secret Doctrine.”
