Spiritual Inquiries: The Akashic Records

[Adhvagat]

I was talking to a friend of mine and used this punch line to open the conversation:

Do you know why people like movies? Because it's just like dying.

This text really gave me an insight when it mentioned what happens when the prana leaves the body. My father almost drowned when he was a teenager, he said he saw a movie of his life too. Once I opened the door when the car was making a turn and I almost was launched out of the vehicle, I remember when the movement began I couldn't see anything more, my mind was transported to a dark room and I began to see ghostly projections of images on a screen in front of me, but I managed to close the door and this image disappeared.

Anyway, a film is like dying because it uses this same principle that the mind uses when life is nearing its end, sums it up a whole life rapidly, focus on the important parts and most important of it all (as mentioned in the text), gets a high central meaning out of the whole event.

What do you mean by "akashic library" could you clarify please?

The One, I think your vata is flying around too much. This whole thread is about it.

I think I regretfully stumbled into this thread thinking it was another. Pardon my absent mindedness

namaste PI.

Here are what I can find as answers to your queries in post no.6:

01. You are right about the hierarchy, although you did not list all the seven planes. Here is the complete list:

The best compilation to read about planes and our subtle bodies is that of Arthur E.Powell (although his compilation does not include Blavatsky):

The Etheric Double - The Health Aura of Man
The Mental Body
The Causal Body - The Ego

02. As for the Theosophical explanation of 'Ego', check this link:

You might also find useful diagrams in this image search...:

03. As to what happens on death of the physical body, according to Theosophy, read chapter 16 of Powell's book 'Etheric Double' and chapters 12-14 of his 'Astral Body'.
