Here’s the book’s Introduction:

I have enjoyed connection with the Akashic Records for close to thirty years. I connect for myself, for others, and with an infinite flow of non-human energy. Plus, I have taught thousands to do the same. I’ve also written numerous books, articles, and courses to explain and experience the energetic nature of the Akashic Records. In other words, I have both credentials and experience to speak authoritatively about what the Akashic Records are, how to connect, and what benefits might be derived from the experience.

What I don’t do is explain – or believe – that the Akashic Records are as commonly described as a book, library, or storehouse. I take a contrarian stance to these outdated stereotypes not because I like to be contrary – rather, my explanations are aligned with my experience.

When my experience within the Akashic Records took a path less-travelled, instead of immediately judging myself as wrong, I questioned the premise. I sought to understand. And while in some respects my journey might have been a bit easier, I couldn’t ignore the feeling of truth which arose within by being willing to allow my journey to follow the unmarked path. As the poet describes, I followed the road less traveled, and that choice has made all the difference.

In the pages which follow, I will take you down this path and talk about what I have learned and experienced. I don’t offer these ideas as proof of anything. When we deal with issues of spiritual consciousness, proof in an intellectual sense by definition does not exist. Instead, understanding is an inner experience, a felt sense, a resonance at center. 

Truth is in the heart of the beholder. Pay attention to your heart. This is what I did back then when I first began this journey. 

Listening to my heart is how and why I chose to follow this less-traveled road.
