Glossary of Spiritual and AI Terms
A quick reference for the key terms used when discussing the Akashic Records and the creative use of AI for self-reflection.
- Akasha
- A Sanskrit word meaning "ether" or "space." In Theosophy, it is the first and most fundamental of the five elements from which all things are formed. It is the basis of the Akashic Records.
- Akashic Records
- A vibrational, non-physical archive of every soul and its journey throughout all of time. It is a dimension of consciousness where all information is stored. Learn more about what the Akashic Records are.
- AI Roleplaying
- The practice of giving an AI a specific persona or character to act as. In a spiritual context, this is used to create guides, mentors, or coaches to facilitate self-exploration. See our guide on using AI as a meditation partner.
- Ancestral Karma
- Energetic patterns, traumas, and unresolved issues that are passed down through a family lineage. These can be understood and healed within the Akashic Records. For more, read our article on healing ancestral karma.
- Clairvoyance
- The psychic sense of "clear seeing." It is the ability to perceive information visually in the mind's eye. This is distinct from accessing the Records, as explained in our comparison article.
- Cognitive Reframing
- A psychological technique for identifying, challenging, and changing stressful or unhelpful thought patterns. An AI can be used as a partner in this process, as detailed in our guide to cognitive reframing.
- Core Values
- An individual's fundamental beliefs and guiding principles that dictate their behavior and decision-making. An AI can be used to help clarify your core values through a structured interview process.
- Council of Mentors
- An advanced roleplaying technique where an AI embodies multiple personas (e.g., historical figures, authors) to provide diverse perspectives on a single problem. Learn how to use it here.
- Fear-Setting
- A practical exercise for defining and mitigating your fears to overcome procrastination and paralysis. An AI can be a structured facilitator for this process. See our fear-setting guide.
- Intuition
- The ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning. A key skill to develop is the ability to discern your own intuition from the text generated by an AI.
- Karma
- The universal law of cause and effect. Every action, thought, and intention creates an energetic imprint that will have a corresponding effect in the future. This is closely related to the concept of soul contracts.
- Keepers of the Records
- A collective of non-physical light beings, masters, and teachers whose role is to guard the integrity and sanctity of the Akashic Records. They assist in translating the information for the person accessing the records. Learn more about what the Keepers do.
- Pathway Prayer Process
- A specific, sacred invocation used as a vibrational key to open the Akashic Records safely and reliably. We have a beginner's guide on this topic.
- Prompt
- The initial instruction or set of rules given to an AI to define its role, persona, and task in a roleplaying or coaching session. Crafting a good prompt is essential for a successful session.
- Reincarnation
- The belief that the soul, after the death of the physical body, is reborn into a new body to continue its journey of learning and growth. This is a foundational concept for understanding soul contracts.
- Soul Contract
- An agreement made between two or more souls before incarnation to help each other learn specific lessons or fulfill a particular purpose. You can learn more about soul contracts here.
- Soul Group
- A group of souls who have a shared origin and who have agreed to reincarnate together across many lifetimes to help each other learn and evolve.
- Spirit Guides
- Non-physical beings of high vibration who are assigned to help us on our journey through life, offering guidance, protection, and wisdom. You can use AI to practice contacting your spirit guides.
- Vibration
- The frequency at which something resonates. Everything in the universe, from physical matter to thoughts and emotions, has a unique vibration. Learning to access the Akashic Records is a process of attuning your personal vibration to the vibration of the Records.
- Wisdom Synthesizer
- A role for an AI where it summarizes and compares the teachings of various wisdom traditions to provide a broad perspective on a specific life question. Explore this technique here.
- Zero-Point Field
- A concept in quantum physics describing a universal field of energy that connects everything. It is considered a scientific parallel to the spiritual concept of the Akasha. Read more in our article on the Akashic Records and quantum physics.
