The akashic record is a book discovered by azik amongst a old ruin he was exploring. Coming from a place within egypt, the book binded to Azik as he slept on it one night trying to figure out it's origin.
In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are 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. There are anecdotal accounts but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records.
Yet, The akashic records exist, though in the form of a book. Detailing every single aspect, every single bit of knowledge from the start of the most infinitely miniscule energy, atom, life, every moment, every event, lays within the akashic record. Yet, no one can understand as it is in a language so old, older than time itself, that it is incomprehensible to people. Only those imbued, gifted by the powers that be, may even start understanding a single word from the book.
