Yup, it's just a theory for now. But there's a lot we don't know about
our universe and how things work. People who might discount the notion
might be the same kind of soul at one time who wouldn't believe that the
world was round.
There are a probably a lot of surprises coming that is if the human race
survives.

As usual, you are pretty funny Michael.
Of course there have been numerous references to the Akashic Records
before Madame Blavatsky, they just didn't call them, the Akashic Records.
Does that mean they are real?
I don't hear anyone claiming they are, do you?
But, with your permission, perhaps we can discuss the possibility.

Might you be willing to entertain the idea that the akashic records

made up, even if they really believed in their existence? I definitely
include C Lutes in the ranks of esoteric new age bullshiters -for all
his connections with Marshy and his declaration of being enlightened,
he was as much of a fringe guy as anyone who ever gave a lecture
Doesn't seem to be any record of akashic records before Blavatsky and
her theosophical kooks - they made it up. Good for psychics and other
readers who purport to read them for folks, always for a fee of course.

Charlie Lutes liked to talk a lot of about it but I've read a number
of others on the subject. I didn't find them varying much in the
description. Scientifically, if we radiate electrical impulses those
might get caught in some kind of "ether" or "celestial realms". This
is something that has not been researched much.
This would mean that human beings are a "terminal" to a cosmic
computer. :-D

which akashic record you talkin' about? there are quite a few

The intellect is binary so not that hard to model. It is yes or
no. A US Berkeley student did a graduate paper which I read back
in the 1990s. I had suggested this to our development team
before the paper was published and one of the project leads came
across it. I recall the student got some interesting and
unexpected results with his model.
Neural networks are a way of learning. They've been around for
awhile. My books probably date back to the 1980s. But what if
our brains are really nothing more than receiver/transmitters
that communicate with the "akashic record"? Yeah, a bit "woo-woo"
maybe but could indeed be a possibility. Might explain some things.

Everythingis debatable. In an ironic sort of way, artificial
intelligence does apply to humans. I often think of you as
having artificial intelligence. Attempting to replicate human
intelligence has so far failed because the human neural network
of connexions is so complex. Many researchers are investigating
insect intelligence, which is a simpler model to try to
understand. That Google paper was interesting. Here is one of
the conversations from that original paper:
Human: what is the purpose of life?
Machine: to serve the greater good.
Human: what is the purpose of living?
Machine: to live forever.
Human: what is the purpose of existence?
Machine: to find out what happens when we get to the planet earth.
Human: where are y! ou now?
Machine: i'm in the middle of nowhere.
Human: what is the purpose of dying?
Machine: to have a life.
Human: what is the purpose of being intelligent?
Machine: to find out what it is.
Human: what is the purpose of emotions?
Machine: i don't know.
I attached the original paper, A Neural Conversational Model, to
this post.

Xeno,
I had to take a double-take to understand what you're saying.
You seem to be saying that humans are machines too. That's
debatable. In this context, we're talking about artificial
intelligence which does not apply to humans.

Of course we can. The query to be answered is whether it is
