A viewer asks: “When I look at the akashic records, as far as I can tell, whatever I look at feels like it’s something that happened to me. Even if it was someone else. I can’t tell the difference. It’s the only way I seem to be able to read the accounting of things that have occurred. And so far, never on purpose. It just happens. Is this the only way the akashic records can be read; looked at; understood? Are “reading” and “experiencing” the same thing at the akashic records?”

This is not something experienced by everyone but can happen for those who are particularly empathic, wanting the full measure of meaning about what is being observed. There are ways of sensing and getting knowings apart from pulling the energetic signature of what is on record into one's being to, in a sense, have a kind of sampling, not perhaps a full relive but undergoing a kind of punishment if the energetic signature has negative content. That is not essential to a review of the akashic records or to gain a sense of their meaning and purpose, but it might be the most powerful way for those with a strong kinesthetic sensing and an empathic nature. If you work at it, you can tone that down by endeavoring to stay more at arm's length as you review things in the akashic records, but it may well take practice to keep the self safeguarded from dipping in too directly and getting too large a dose of someone else's medicine, so to speak. You need to be witnessing and not experiencing the recorded negativity.
