What do we think of? Just for fun: etymologically we *might* perhaps possibly be thinking of some kind of radiation comparable to light, because the root of 'aakaasha' seems to be 'kaash', which also is the root of 'prakaasha', usually translated to 'light', as f'rinstance in the suutra following the YF-suutra, namely the two-part one that goes like this: bahirakalpitaa vRttirmahaavidehaa; tataH prakaashaavaraNakSayaH Well, the second part, the phrase after the semicolon is translated by Taimni like this: From it (mahaa-videhaa?) is destroyed (kSayaH: destruction [of]) the covering (aavaraNa) of light (prakaasha).

Because this space contains 'records' through time... Vaj wrote: Akashic records is an idea conjured up by the Theosophists... According to Fa Hsiang and Hua Yen, there is a single, universal, and eternal 'storehouse-consciousness', the Alayavijnana, Tibetan, 'kun-gzhi rnam-shes'. Store consciousness accumulates all potential energy for the aggregate of the 'bodymind' (Sanskrit: namarupa), the mental (nama) and physical (rupa) manifestation of one's existence, and supplies the substance to all existences.

And what is the difference conceptionally between space and the transcendent? Akashic records is an idea conjured up by the Theosophists. There's actually no such universal repository by that name. There are spiritual dimensions where teaching reside, at a certain level of consciousness, but it has nothing to do with akasha per se, other than that some teaching are considered hidden in the sky. Akasha is more related to the luminous quality of buddhi or chid- akasha, the inner expanse aspect of consciousness.
