their coherence with the milieu in which they live and evolve. It also explains the coherence ofthe human brain, and of the consciousness associated with it, in regard to the brain andconsciousness of other human beings, and even the world at large. And, last but not least, itexplains the astounding fact that the physical parameters of the universe are so finely adjustedthat living organisms can exist and evolve on this planet, and possibly on countless other planetsin this and in other galaxies. …The A-field in-formation is the logical explanation of nonlocalcoherence: of the mysterious way in which quanta are connected across space and time, of theevident but nonetheless astounding fact that we and other organisms have evolved and can liveon this planet and, last but not least, of the seemingly miraculous capacity of the universe tobring forth human beings such as you and I, who now ask themselves why this universe is so welltuned that in all essential respects it is both instantly and universally interconnected. (Lazlor,156-157)The ancients gained the understanding of the Akasha through the capacity to know directly,through their own consciousness. Quantum theory evolved through mathematics and experiments thatlooked into the realms of the largest and smallest realities, which Newtonian physics could not explain.David Bohm explains that what appear as distinct objects in the physical world unfold from atranspersonal, non-local coherent field –the implicate unified order that shapes what is apparent.Results in the physical world are manifest from the non-local causality of the transpersonal, unified field,called quantum coherency in physics, and Akasha by the ancients. In quantum terms, then, symbols andimages are our way of entangling ourselves with the quantum coherency of the whole in a way thatenables us to change the information that guides and forms our reality, and the manifestation of thatreality within the whole. All is alive and it is through our imagination, our ability to make symbols, andsense the underlying field of consciousness that organizes reality that we become consciously cocreativeof the reality in which we live.Edgar CayceViolet Shelly wrote a booklet, “Symbol and Self,” based on a series of readings given by Edgar Cayce.Cayce is known as the “sleeping prophet.” He entered a state of consciousness that freed his high self tospeak directly, bypassing ego and personality concerns. The focus of Shelly’s research into the readingswas called the “Life Seal” and the “Aura Chart.” These symbolic pictures reflected two aspects ofconsciousness. The Life Seal reflected the character of the individual and those virtues available to fulfillthe current life expression. The Aura Chart was a symbolic picture of the past lives that contributed tothe traits that the individual was expressing in this lifetime. I saw a similarity between the past lives andthe metaphor of current life events. Situations and circumstances in this life activated the karma orpotential from the past life. From that, I concluded that the present life metaphor was just as, or more,helpful than the past life stories. It also said to me that the Aura Chart, since Cayce called it that,potentially had to do with current life challenges.14
