Each paragraph below is one student's reading, in their own words.
Ancient Mother
The group opened the Records of Ancient Mother and asked two questions:
- Who is Ancient Mother?
- Does she want to work with us in Akashic Records research — and if so, how?
She's the mother of creation. When I asked whether she wants to work with us in research, I'm getting a no.
She is the divine feminine energy of the creator of all that is. She is the nurturer, the one who keeps us in our heart, who keeps our awareness in our heart. Does she want to work with us? Yes, of course she does. She has a lot to share with us about ourselves, as well as for us to get the perspective of love, love, love.
Ancient Mother is for all. She's the one you can go to when all feels still. She's the one you can go to for love and acceptance, the one you can go to for just laying low — and then I see a picture of you laying your head on her lap. She's there, and she's always present. Does she want to work with us? Yes, of course. She'll be there when you need her. Whenever you feel like you're stuck, she says, just come to me, and I'll show you the way.
I broke down a little bit. I am the mother of all, giving birth to all things known and unknown — nurturer, guide, defender. I'm getting mama bear energy. She wants to protect those who come to her in need, in joy, in thanks for the gift of life, in whatever form she is given, and this extends to other areas of the universe, dimensions and things like that. She says, yes, I'd like to work with you, because you need my perspective on the origins of things.
I got this beautiful picture of the Sahara desert — endless sand dunes — which is not typical for me, and also an awareness that Ancient Mother is not softness and quiet, downcast eyes, but volcanoes and wind and oceans: powerful and observant, knowing when to step in and when to hold back. And yes, of course she wants to work with us. How she wants to work with us is by reminding us that we have all the tools we need. Part of what she has for us is about using our intuition, and really accepting and appreciating and knowing what's happening around us — the wind, the birds, the plants, the elements — just paying attention to the feelings and senses, being open to those things, being in wonder and curiosity, because what happens in our bodies is about who we were born to be, what Ancient Mother birthed us to be.
Immediately what I got when I opened her Record was Ancient Mother of creation, and she said, just hold on and you'll hear all the perspectives of creation from everyone, and then you can talk further. She was showing me the feeling a mother has for a child, and that's what she is here with us in this moment for — to understand ourselves, and what we are trying to explore, from a perspective without conditions, in its purest expression. She is here to assist us, especially in understanding the way we have built our existence in reference to our past experiences, the way we are built up right now with all those memories. She's here to show us beyond all of that — not holding any conditions, an unconditional kind of love, like a mother carrying her child, holding the child and literally feeling the love.
She's a primordial being of light that carries creative and nurturing energies for planet Earth and beyond. Does she want to work with us? She does. She handed me a shovel — the gardening metaphor must be very strong — so we can get down into the depths.
I get that she says: I am the original creative energy, and I can hold space for whatever you bring to me — but don't be surprised if I have you do your own work. That's why one of us got a no. Ancient Mother is not going to do the work for us.
Hall of Volunteers
The group then opened the Records of the Hall of Volunteers and asked:
- Who or what is the Hall of Volunteers?
- How can the Hall work with us in research?
It is a collecting place for people who can work to further knowledge. The image I'm getting is like the unemployment office — they're all out there kind of waiting around, saying, you got a job for me? Okay, I'm happy to help out. They're all kind of hanging around: sure, I know something about this. And you'll get whoever is best suited for whatever job it is that you've got. Yes, of course they are very interested and eager to help out with the research. I even got a name for someone who will help me with my project.
This is the first time I've been here, and it is so expansive and loving — just this servant energy of how can we help, what helps you progress, what questions do you want to know. There's nothing about doing it for you; it's giving us the tools and the energy that we need to complete or answer the questions we have. And how can they work with us? They're telling me that you need to be clear about what you want, that you'll be more satisfied with the answers they give. If you're unclear when you come in, they're going to give you answers, but they're not necessarily going to be on track for you. So have a little clarity as you're shaping your questions and your ways to proceed, so that they're progressing in a way you have in mind — because it's going to progress either way. Just be open, and understand that they answered the question you gave them.
It feels like an ocean. I don't see it as volunteers coming up. I hear them saying, we are representatives of all impressions of memories — not just human. It's non-human energies and energy systems too. And when it was said that as you're approaching you need to have a little clarity about what you're trying to figure out, it was so resonating — it made so much sense to me. For me it feels like impressions that have been stored right from the origin to what is existing in the moment.
I got a group of beings from all different groups of beings that are here to help — non-human, angels, galactic beings, elementals, everything basically. A hodgepodge mix of beings, all here to help. And the second question, how can the Hall of Volunteers work with us? I got: giving us the knowledge to proceed to the next step.
They showed me a dog — you know those dog videos where they're excited and dancing? That's what I was getting, and my body was going like that earlier. It's like the dogs when you're home: oh, you're home, I'm all ready, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. They were just so excited. So I said, okay, you're ready to help, and they went, oh yes, oh yes. And I said, how are you going to help us? Well, it depends — because remember, I'm showing you as an animal, and animals don't hear us and understand us exactly the same way. And I said, but I can talk to you, and you can hear me and I understand you. And they went, that's true, that's true, and kept doing the little dance. But you still have to be aware that sometimes we don't get the messages really clearly, unless you know exactly what you really want and what you really need. They really, really want to help us, but they do want us not to just bring anything to them.
I got a vision of many energies, many people — like going to be picked up. And they said, we are them, we are they, we are this, we are that — we are, in a way, many. They're all excited to work. Because there are so many different ones in the hall, and it all comes from their experiences, when we go we can actually ask for multiple ways: everyone has a different perception of the same thing, so we can get multiple answers to the same question, from all of the volunteers, of what it means to one versus another versus another.
That's why you have to be clear about what you're looking for, because if they're all very willing to help, then you need to know what you're addressing. I got that the Hall of Volunteers is a body of willing energy, and they bring knowledge and awareness from past, present and future to develop and encourage understanding. I think what we've done with them before is that they were the source of the biography readings — they were very willing to help us with those, but we haven't taken questions to them beyond that. They're saying, basically, we're here, we want to help you, bring whatever you like, but be clear about what you're looking for.
This is hard for me to put into words, partly because it is so much like what everyone else received. What they give me is that they are the face of the energy of the beings. In some respects they are like what we connected with in the biography readings, where they appear as the person — the physical face of that expression of that soul. There is something about the volunteers being connected to the various physical faces a soul has taken. And there is far more than human energy here too, so it is like the face of all of it. If we wanted a group of angels to help us, this would be a good place to find which angels want to help. If we wanted to connect with beings ten light years away, this is the place, and we could be connected face to face — there is something here about face to face. They would agree that we are on the very edge of understanding this: they think the Hall of Volunteers is one of the most energetically provocative connections we can make through inter-dimensional connection. But you have to know why you came — and even when you don't, they can still help.
