Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D, is a former Professor of Philosophy who holds the highest degree of the State Doctorate, is the recipient of four Honorary PhDs and was nominated for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. In his book, titled Science And The Akashic Field, he writes extensively about akash. This is also known asether.
There are four physical elements that describe the material Universe. But ether, the fifth element, describes the Spirit that exists beyond matter. It is the space out of which all material objects spring forth.
Ether is a subtle sea of energies that stores everything that has ever occurred throughout all of Creation. This information exists in Egypt, in a great Hall of Records. And, when our consciousness reaches a level at which we can decipher how the Music of Creation was written, these akashic records will open for us.
