teachers’ training at Mary P.’s

TX. I hadn’t read the book, just
thumbed through it, so I decided
early, I sat and started to really
go through the book. To this
day, I haven’t read every word
in that book. It was the visual
experience, and development
of the visual experience that I
saw. All the little color plates in
the book of how the mandalas
used in the exercises were cre-
ated, bit by bit, color by color,
form by form were what I saw.
Some were very simple, yet so
vibrant and bright. Some
were exquisitely complex
and luminous. These were
photos of mandalas created
in Dr. Cornell’s classes.
Very few of the creators
were professional artists.
Some of the work, when
viewed closely, were actu-
ally quite primitive. Proba-
bly, an art critic or professor

Mission Statement
Akashic Record Consult-
ants, International* is an
organization that instructs,
certifies, and assists in
sustaining individuals as
they learn to open their
conscious awareness of
their oneness with source.
Akashic Record Consult-
ants, International provides
a neutral, nurturing environ-
ment where one may learn
practical methods of living a
balanced life. Bridging the
gap between the spiritual
and physical worlds, an
individual achieves a greater
partnership with Spirit
through receiving an under-
standing of personal respon-
sibility and commitment.
We, as an organization,
choose and commit to hold
the purity and integrity of
these teachings as they are
extended into the world.
*Akashic Record Consult-
ants, International is a non-
profit organization.
There weren’t many of us at Lake
Whitney. There weren’t nearly as
many teachers or consultants at
that time. As far as I can remem-
ber, there were 7 of us at the
house.
Some of us had brought books or
small projects to do for down
time while we were there. De-
nise DeShazo brought some col-
ored felt-tip pens and a coloring
book. I had my mandala book.
We settled in.
The first evening we relaxed (it
was really hot at Lake Whitney!),
and perhaps did a little work in
the Records. I am a night person,
so while some folks turned in

for the Highest Good of all concerned,
in unconditional love and non-
judgment, on what to do next to create
mandalas. I found myself foraging
through the kitchen, pulling out Tup-
perware bowls and plates. Those would
be the circles! Once I gathered every-
thing together and sat down, it was as if
my feet were glued to the spot. The first
mandala I produced may still be hang-
ing on the wall at the house in Lake
Whitney. I sort of went every which way
with it. It was more about energy and
color than definite symbols and shapes.
Seated in that corner , I pro-
duced 2 more mandalas. I had
no desire to stop, or to move
from where I was.
After my return from the train-
ing, I found myself on a plane to
California to attend a workshop
with Judith Cornell. It seemed
inevitable. To explain what that
experience was like, I will in-
clude a portion of my journal,
which came through my Re-
cords at a later teachers’ train-
ing in Texas, at Mary P.’s house.
One of the processes in that
training were the questions,
“What is my personal acquaint-
ance with Spirit? What is my
relationship with Spirit?”
The answer that came through
my Records was this: I am car-
ried vividly to my first Mandala
workshop with Judith Cornell. I
am in the room where the work-
shop is being conducted. Three
walls of the room are floor-to-
ceiling glass. The entire build-
ing is built into the side of a
mountain. The view from all the
windows is East to West. It is
morning and the sun is rising
over the forested slopes of the
Santa Cruz Mountains. Far to my
right is the ocean, a crystalline
blue, with a thin white line
where the water touches a slen-
der strip of sandy beach. The
room is flooded with dazzling,
golden fresh morning light.
There are no electric lights on–
no artificial light. The tables in
the room are set in a circle, pa-
per and pencils on top, waiting
for us. Everything is in my vi-
sion with perfect clarity. The
light infuses the room so com-
pletely that every color and
detail is revealed.
I am alone there, ready to go
to my table. It is still, except
for the birds’ singing. There
is only timelessness. Only
the present. Only the work
and the materials for the
work. It is totally complete,
and I can be in no other
place.
Once it was revealed to me,
in a regression, that I was a
slave who drew the sacred
paintings on the inside of
pyramids and tombs in
Egypt. I was compelled to
serve the dead. Now I work
to serve the living. My ex-
perience of this information
is that I am remarkably
moved. As I am propelled
into the experience of still-
ness so infused with Light,
my heart aches and there
are tears in my eyes. It is so
clear to me. I am struck by
the timelessness of it– the
perfectness of it. And while I
feel physically the emotional
energy that creates the tears
and the opening heart, I
know that there does not
need to be anymore than
what I have seen at this mo-
ment.
I ask if there is anything else
that I need to know, and I
see a thin, grey veil drop
over the scene, like a curtain
closing, and the scene gen-
tly dissolves. I can be in no
other place.

Part One: An Overview of Why Questions Are Asked in the Akashic Records Work by
Chava Leah Lieberman
Since the Akashic Record of an indi-
vidual contain all the responses and
creations of a soul for as long as it has
existed, the intention of the question
directs and focuses the inquirer in the
vast expanse of knowledge. The main
purpose of formulating questions in
the Akashic Records, ultimately, is to
identify who one is in essence and
how to express that consciously in
one’s life. Sometimes this can be
done in a very detailed manner. In
that way the physical and spiritual
aspects align to give a sense of mis-
sion. One experiences a return or
restoration to being deeply con-
nected to Source.
Through questioning, one identifies
overlays or shallower levels that had
once been identified as being the
whole self. These outer “shells” can
be released and seen as illusions.
One can shift into the understanding
that the true gifts constituting the
spiritual core are the vitalizing forces
in life to be expanded. Likewise, the
questioning can identify the qualities
and gifts one truly possesses from
the soul level. Once one fully em-
braces the gifts within, a sense of
deep gratitude and loving is freed.
This purposeful realization brings
about harmony within as the God
given legacy is held with conscious
awareness. Is there anything block-
ing/stopping me from expressing my
God given gifts? May I see this now?
How can it be shifted or let go of?
The process of asking questions from the
aspect of ourselves which begins to seek
conscious awareness is key in setting
intention and direction in our lives. In
other words, there is a reason why a cer-
tain question is asked at any time. Some-
thing is developing and awakening in
order for the conscious mind to ask
about it. Inner process organizes to sup-
port us to this focal point. One harnesses
resources in hidden and remote levels
as well as the physical, emotional, and
mental. From heartfelt inquiry, the soul
light of one’s inner realm becomes the
foremost guiding light. Support comes
when we deeply ask, sometimes in
prayer or from the profound levels of the
Akasha. As in many spiritual pursuits,
the questions come from the aspirant.
One can be living with a belief based on
earlier judgments that now limit full lov-
ing expression towards others and one-
self. By asking for a gracious under-
standing, one can be freed of the layers
that no longer positively animate exis-
tence.
One of the original questions asked in
the Beginning Class (now Level l) was
“What is the energy telling me about this
person, place, thing or event?” This was
a wonderful inquiry because it shifted
thoughts from the concrete and linear to
a much subtler realm of response. One
might receive from many different styles
and levels in a way that is spiritually ap-
propriate for that moment. Later, a ques-
tion to narrow the field was asked, “What
keeps coming up for me?” A list of obser-
vations could be made. This is a question
about patterns from which more detailed
questions could be found.
“What question should I be asking now?”
“Where am I looking and where am I
being shown to look?” These questions
speak of an emerging inner path that
must be addressed for development.
The need that the heart hungers for the
most will eventually surface in question
form. The need will not only be held on a
psychological level, but from the tran-
scendent realms of the seeker, searching
for a completely conscious unification
with the illumination of the soul. It is the
authentic role one longs to bring to the
physical world. That is why at this time
the Records work emphasizes spiritual
and physical alignment. Does the inner
essence match the outer actions in the
world in complete integrity and truth?
The questions track the development of
focus and intention from the hidden inte-
rior influences to the outer direction in
physical form. Eventually, the questions
reveal the statement of the deepest level
of mission because words are asked
about what really matters and what im-
pacts the most.
