Well, I've never accessed them, but this does not really correspond to my understanding of them... And this understanding comes partially from Astral Dynamics, although I've taken other sources like Monroe's and Jane Roberts's writings into account.

The general idea is that accessing the akashic records (read: any knowledge, idea, emotion in and of the universe for any given time) is done in a similar manner to accessing a database on a computer.

First, you create an interface between you and the "database." This can be a small book with moving pictures. It can be a TV. It can be an infinitely huge library that you pull books out of.

Then, you formulate the desire, you SELECT what you want to see by specifying enough conditions to retrieve something that makes sense and that is precisely what you want. For example, don't just select "War" as the event you want to view, ask to be part of the crowd in Leader X's speech from whatever year it is you are trying to visit.

The problem with this model is that people have a tendency to assume that there is a record... That there is some kind of infinity-sized book that is written to as time unfolds. Monroe's way of looking at it for instance was that everything that affects consciousness produces a kind of "radiation" that contains every thought ever thought, every event, etc, much like what was posted here, with "bands"...

It is much easier to access this as if it was just a copy, a recollection, something that is stored away from the planet, in between dimensions.

My view on it is that there is no recollection or rewriting. By accessing the akashic records, you are not really accessing "records," you are accessing reality. Remember that time is a physical illusion! This means the state of things yesterday, today, and tomorrow do not need to be recorded anywhere to be witnessed.

So the whole "past events have been recorded and future events are only probabilities" seems like the way humans would falsely perceive reality, to compensate for the inexistance of time. There's just no reason to record something that cannot be lost.

As for the galactic command stuff... Well... On one side you've got the New Age people who think every living thing is completely free and that communication between planets is minimal. On the other side you've got the alien abductees who know everything about the hierarchy of the universe, galactic police, etc... A grey area, to say the least :O
