Back in the Saddle Again
A little more than a year ago, I wrote the following words in my last post on this Soul Planet Channel:
It’s been quite a while since I last posted here in this Soul Planet Channel Podcast site. In fact, that was back on the 9th of April 2023. 2023, as it turned out, proved to be a very challenging year for me, a crisis of faith as well as a state of emotional exhaustion on personal as well as spiritual levels. I reached what I guess was a burnout phase in my Soul development—a Dark Night of the Soul.
Well, despite my best intentions at that time, I had not yet reached the conclusion of my Dark Night of the Soul—a situation that remains true today. Many times during the past year I thought I would sit down and record my next podcast, only to find myself overwhelmed by the task and overwhelmed by the ongoing crises across the planet—such as the genocide in Gaza and the NATO proxy war in Ukraine—not to mention the series of deaths of several people close to me, family and friends, that kept my spirit and consciousness wrapped up in grief and turmoil.
But even so, the kinds of Soul Experiences that I had recorded in my 61 previous posts continued to happen and continued to call out for recognition.
So a couple days ago as my family and I were on our daily hike through our magical forest here in Fiskars, Finland, I was engaged in a silent telepathic train of communication with my High Self, Adam Kadmon. He (for while such Solar Angels are beyond sex and gender, Adam Kadmon nevertheless speaks to me in a voice that I recognize as masculine and male) drew my attention to the constant stream of spirit connections—energies, voices, apparitions of various sorts—that populate my Soul Being on a constant basis, especially when I’m out in our magical forest.
My High Self suggested that one reason I have had so much trouble getting back into the stream of things on this Soul Planet Channel is that I have placed too high a standard on myself on many levels. For one, I have become more and more of a perfectionist when it comes to creating and editing my audio podcasts for these presentations. So I was led to the recognition that while audio features are a nice addition to the audience experience overall, written text remains a crucial element of this work. So I have given myself permission to create these messages simply in the form of written communication with you all. If I find the time, energy, and inspiration enough to add audio presentation as well (and even video!), then that would all be well and good. But I need to let go of that as a demand that gets in the way of communicating anything at all.
Second, I had become a little wary of the quality of spirits who approach me during my channeling sessions, despite the constant affirmation of the beauty of such experiences and the fact that my High Self keeps me protected during these sessions. My disorienting experience when I first visited the mounds on top of Skuruberget high above Pohja Bay still hangs over me as a warning that I should always be sure to ground myself before engaging in such transmissions and that I should always call on the properly representative spirit of any geomantic collective that I encounter. (You can read my record of that encounter in my old entry that once was housed on my Sacred Sites Project blog and now lives on on my GroovDigit site: Ancient Mound Transport. as well as in my previous post in this project.)
Third, With the loss of the continual affirmation from Monitor after the channel Harvey Grady’s death in 2023, I just found myself doubting my powers of communication in such a direct way. Of course, given that Monitor almost always confirmed the validity of my communications, you would think that I would have more self-confidence by now. And given that I still communicate with Monitor on a regular basis in our telepathic stream, I no longer need the comforting mediation that Harvey was always able to provide. And I should always remind myself of the morning in mid June of 2019 when, during our epic house-hunting tour of southern Finland, I awoke to the voice of my High Self who suggested that I immediately get online and check for any new houses for sale in Fiskars. Sure enough, a new one had just appeared and was in the perfect price range and location that we had been hoping for. We signed a contract about six hours after that morning message to me. So I need to acknowledge to myself I continue to get external affirmation all of the time.
So What Are Akashic Field Notes?
On Wikipedia you can read the following:
In the religion of Theosophy and the spiritual movement called Anthroposophy, the Akashic records are believed by Theosophists to be a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane.
Early on in my Monitor conversations Monitor alerted me to the fact that a primary element of my Geomantic Earth Dowsing work involved tapping in to the Akashic Records stored in various power points. These Akashic storehouses allowed me to receive information regarding the ancient peoples and Earth Spirits whose traces still live on in the various sacred sites around the world (as well as on other planets and star systems). Monitor also suggested that I should say various prayers of attunement so that my High Self could serve as the direct conduit between me and the entities I would encounter, thereby allowing me to avoid the obvious shocks and traumatic memories that such communications would carry with them. So I began an initial study of various books and websites dedicated to Akashic phenomena.
One writer who proved key for my understanding was Ervin Laszlo, the Hungarian philosopher of quantum phenomena who often wrote about what he referred to as the Akashic Field. A brief video of him defining this term is on YouTube:
In his book Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything Laszlo writes the following:
For thousands of years, mystics and seers, sages and philosophers maintained that there is such a field; in the East they called it the Akashic Field. But the majority of Western scientists considered it a myth. Today, at the new horizons opened by the latest scientific discoveries, this field is being rediscovered. The effects of the Akashic Field are not limited to the physical world: the A-field (as we shall call it) informs all livings things - the entire web of life. It also informs our consciousness. (p. 4)
Later on Laszlo write:
A cosmic field that underlies and links all things in the world is a perennial intuition, present in traditional cosmologies and metaphysics. The ancients knew that space is not empty: it is the origin and the memory of all things that exist and have ever existed. But this knowledge was based on philosophical or mystical insight, the fruit of private and unrepeatable if often seemingly indubitable experience. The current rediscovery of the Akashic Field reinforces qualitative human experience with quantitative data generated by science's experimental method. The combination of unique personal insight and interpersonally observable and repeatable experience gives us the best assurance we can have that we are on the right track: that a cosmic information field connects organisms and minds in the biosphere, and particles, stars, and galaxies throughout the cosmos.

Just as most scientists and explorers keep field notes to record their experiences, hypotheses, and discoveries, I have seen the task of my blogs and podcasts over the past fifteen years as the production of Akashic Field Notes, deliberately fusing the traditional scientific record-keeping practice of filed notes with Laszlo’s notion of the Akashic Field.
Now relieve the stress I have built up on myself the key for me to is to approach this record that I here call my Soul Planet Channel in just such an exploratory and casual manner. I have to remind myself—difficult for someone with a perfectionist strain of ADHD—that I don’t need to worry about my usual writerly values of coherence, completion, or even necessarily clarity. I need to allow myself to sit comfortably in the midst of uncertainty and in the clamor of inner and outer controversy.
As I have had occasion to quote at other times in this project, an important mantra for me—one that I rarely allow myself to act on—is Ram Das’s slogan: BE HERE NOW. Of course, for me on this life journey each one of these terms is infinite. Being has no beginning and no end; Here stretches on through an infinite number of parallel (and perpendicular) universe; and Now encompasses all moments past, present, and future—which is the only way the notion of Akasha could even begin to make sense.
