What I think is cool is that
we're watching all this stuff that's happening
here on the screen,
but we're looking at Dr. Chopra right now.
He sits there perfectly still, motionless,
but look at all the activity.
Very, very conscious control
of his brain activity and all this inner world
that he can activate, or not.
In many spiritual traditions in the East,
they say there are three states of consciousness
that we all go through every day:
our sleep, dreams and waking.
But then there's a state of consciousness
that's called "cosmic consciousness,"
which is beyond the physical world,
and basically a record of the entire
history of the universe.
Although completely invisible to the naked eye,
a virtual universe of electromagnetic waves
permeates our entire world.
And this vast network of impulses carries within it
information and data that we have come to depend on
in our digital age.
It is the backbone of what is otherwise referred to
as the cloud,
which remotely stores billions of gigabytes of data.
When we think about the cloud,
what we're really talking about is data transfer,
information transfer.
You're sending bits of information through the air,
wirelessly, up to satellites, down to servers, back again,
into your computer, into your phone,
and there's close to seven billion people
using cloud computing now.
So you can imagine that pretty much anywhere on the planet
that has Internet access, you're going to find
these hidden, sort of, secret patterns and codes
that are floating around us.
According to historians,
the concept of an intergalactic computer network
was first proposed by scientist J.C.R Licklider in the 1960s.
However, ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that the idea may actually trace all the way back
to our ancient past.
Korva Island. Raichur, India.
Religious pilgrims seeking enlightened wisdom
travel here to a temple dedicated
to the celestial sage Narada.
According to the Hindu scriptures,
Narada had the supernatural ability
to gain access to a hidden domain
that most humans are completely unaware of:
the realm of cosmic knowledge.
Tales about Narada appear in the Mahabharata,
in the Ramayana, in the Puranas.
Tradition has it that Narada transcended consciousness
to gather his stories and give teachings of great wisdom.
The Narada is called Narada Rishi.
Rishis are like sages in Western concept.
So they have gained this ability
to be able to tap into the knowledge,
access that knowledge directly from the cosmos.
Narada is interesting,
specifically that he clearly had access
to an essential knowledge
that is at the fabric of the divine cosmic order.
This idea of an otherworldly repository
of cosmic information is most commonly referred to today
as the "Akashic record."
The term was coined in 1883 by author Alfred Percy Sinnett,
in his book Esoteric Buddhism.
In it, he describes how, according to Eastern philosophy,
universal records physically exist
in the ever-pervasive realm known as the "Akasha,"
which can be accessed by enlightened individuals.
"Akasha" is a Sanskrit word; it means sky.
So Akashic records can be considered as cosmic knowledge.
So it is belonging to the cosmos.
Everything written in the sky.
It's not belonging to human beings.
You simply cannot go and bring it in its tangible form.
It's something that can be accessed through your mind,
through your brainpower,
through your spiritual wavelength.
The Akashic Field,
it's the immeasurable potential of all that was, is,
and will ever be.
It's completely non-local.
"Non-local" means there is no experience of space or time.
This is the level of entanglement,
where everything in the universe is inseparably correlated
with everything else in the universe.
I have always called the universe "the wireless network,"
where information is just out there and stored
from all our minds and memories,
from every creature living in this universe.
This bank of knowledge has been with us
since the formation of the universe.
The idea of the Akashic record,
it's where inventions come from, it's where art comes from,
it's where science comes from.
You can call it whatever you want.
It's something that's in the substrate, right?
It's something that you could access and, sort of,
find information that's been hidden.
Not even hidden. I mean, it's available to us all the time.
It's just that certain people who tune into it can unlock it.
This Akashic record may be something
that every biological entity in the universe can gain access to.
I believe it's something that
even extraterrestrials would tap into.
Throughout history,
countless prophets and visionaries
have alluded to accessing such a realm.
And spiritual practitioners the world over
claim that, through deep prayer and meditation,
an individual may be granted glimpses
into this divine domain.
There seemed to be a common way
to tap into all of this information
that all these prophets were following.
The first thing was to quiet your mind,
and this is the time where your brain waves
start to tap into higher-dimensional realities.
When we say "deep meditation,"
we mean going into that state of awareness.
That's called "cosmic consciousness."
What you're accessing is
the non-local aspects of consciousness,
which are connected to past, present, future, in a sense.
If a cosmic realm of information truly exists,
could there really be a way for humans to access it?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by testing what's happening in the brain
under deep meditation.
Los Angeles, California.
March, 2017.
Dr. Nardi?
- Oh, yes. - I'm Giorgio.
Editor and researcher Giorgio Tsoukalos
meets with neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi,
who has extensively studied neurological effects
on the human brain during deep meditation.
Dr. Chopra, I'm Giorgio.
Great pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- And are you ready? - Always ready.
World-renowned physician,
author and guided meditation expert
Dr. Deepak Chopra
has agreed to allow Dr. Dario Nardi...
We're just going to step outside the room.
To utilize advanced brain-mapping software
to observe real-time changes in his brain
as he enters a state of deep mediation.
Okay, Dr. Chopra, we're going to get a baseline.
Okay, so we're taking a look at the brain now
before his meditation.
So each of the sensors corresponds roughly
to a particular brain region
and anatomical areas of the brain.
We see activity more towards the front of the brain.
What do these different colors mean? -So when we see that red
and orange and even yellow, that's much more active,
and when we see the dark blue and the black here,
then the brain has gotten very quiet.
Okay. -And each one of these views here
indicates a different wave band.
And you're expecting to see something different
once he goes into deep meditation.
Yes, absolutely.
Okay, Dr. Chopra, when you're ready.
Okay, so he's going into
his meditative process right now,
and we can see the brain activity swiftly dropping
and becoming much darker.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, there we go.
Beautiful.
Okay, so we're seeing here
a region that doesn't get used very often,
certainly not by itself, down in the corner here.
So this is in areas of the brain in the back, the visual cortex,
and where we're seeing that the brain is really
disengaging from everyday life
and going into this special state, this altered state,
and to really connect with something beyond ourselves.
Is that something that only a person
that's been trained in meditation for a long time
can activate?
It's not a region of the brain
that people normally activate upon command.
Amazing.
What I think is cool is that we're watching all this stuff
that's happening here on the screen,
but we're looking at Dr. Chopra right now.
He sits there perfectly still, motionless,
but look at all the activity.
Very, very conscious control
of his brain activity and all this inner world
that he can activate or not.
In many spiritual traditions in the East,
they say the three states of consciousness
that we all go through every day are sleep, dreams and waking.
But then, there's a state of consciousness
that's called cosmic consciousness,
which is beyond the physical world and basically a record
of the entire history of the universe.
Is it possible that humans
have the ability to access information
beyond that which has been accumulated
through their own experiences?
Theoretical scientists propose that they have found evidence
that there truly is a vast field of information
present in the cosmos.
But if so, just what is it that we are tapping into?
Tuscany, Italy, 2004.
After years of studying the nature of electromagnetic
and gravitational fields,
celebrated futurist and Nobel Prize nominee
Dr. Ervin Laszlo announces that he has found evidence
of the "A" or Akashic Field.
Dr. Laszlo took work from the discovery
of the quantum zero-point energy,
which is a radiation field that exists all around us
that we can't perceive, but we can detect it indirectly.
It's very solid theoretically.
It was first discovered by Einstein.
So, we know that the zero-point energy exists
and it carries a lot of information
about the universe in it.
Laszlo proposed that this didn't carry
just a physical information
about the physics of the universe,
but also it contained intellectual information.
According to theoretical physicists,
zero-point energy is an all-pervasive sea
of quantum energy waves that is invisible,
but exists throughout the universe.
The fabric of space itself
is made of energy and information.
And the way this information propagates through the universe
is through waves.
We call that quantum waves.
And so, the Akashic Field is made of quantum waves
that are common to all intelligent life.
This means that all human brains, extraterrestrial brains,
any sort of otherworldly beings
also are tapping into similar quantum waves.
This idea of an intelligent informational field
that we can access with our consciousness
is not pseudoscience.
It's not superstition.
It is a basic fact that our scientists
are finding out is really true.
Nearly two decades prior to Lazlo's discovery,
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman
published his groundbreaking work in quantum physics,
The Strange Theory of Light and Matter.
In it, he explored the idea that electrons in our brains
can be activated and informed by quantum waves,
affecting our thoughts and subconscious.
So, Richard Feynman talked about
the quantum entanglement theory,
and the idea that you could have subatomic particles
at any distance whatsoever and they could affect each other,
where information can be sent, uh, at great speeds,
uh, instantaneously, actually.
The human brain is full of electrical activity.
That creates radiation
that a very sensitive radio receiver could pick up.
And other minds, other places
would also be able to send such waves.
Feynman found from the idea of a quantum field of information
an electron moving in our brains
could be receiving radio signals from the past.
But to compensate, it must also receive waves from the future.
Now, this means that every electron in our brains
is actually a receiver.
Information could traverse
to any part of the universe instantaneously.
This could mean that intelligent civilizations
could send complex information to us
by quantum wave propagation or other means.
They could very much be nudging society along
through people having apparent visions,
which could be nothing more complex than a radio broadcast,
some sort of thought transference
through the Akashic record.
Could the Akashic Field
be similar to our modern invention of the cloud,
but hold an infinitely larger field of information,
one through which the user can gain not just insight,
but even foresight into future events?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest further clues can be found by investigating
the story of a blind, Bulgarian peasant
and her incredibly accurate prophecies.
Novo Selo, Bulgaria. 1923.
A 12-year old peasant girl, Vangelia,
is playing with her cousins in a field
when she gets caught up in a freak storm.
She was carried off into the air by tornado.
And-and they found her motionless body in a field.
And strangely, her eyes were completely caked
with sand and dust, and she said that she couldn't open them
without excruciating pain.
And what then began was a decline in her ability to see.
After the accident,
Vangelia developed a striking ability to predict the future
and began making accurate revelations
for the local population.
By the 1980s, the blind prophet,
who adopted the name Baba Vanga,
had given thousands of accurate predictions
and gained a reputation as the Nostradamus of the Balkans.
Baba Vanga said that she could see in her mind's eye.
And when she would look at a person,
she said that she could see their whole life
in its totality, complete, from birth, through their life,
until death, as if she were watching a movie.
She was the study
of many Bulgarian and Soviet scientists,
who scientifically started testing her and interviewing her
and the people that she read.
And they have found that it is an 80% accuracy.
Her predictions were actually very accurate,
which tells us that the ability to retrieve information
beyond this Earth plane
has nothing to do with our five senses.
In fact, when she became blind, it is as if her other senses
developed to receive messages
and information about the future.
Among her numerous claims
were predictions relating to world events,
many which would later come true.

Washington, D.C.
January 20, 2009.
I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear...
Barack Obama,
an African-American senator from Illinois,
is sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States.
Congratulations, Mr. President.
We must remember, these amazing things
are coming from someone who was born a peasant,
who has not read books,
had a slight, maybe functional literacy with braille.
But she essentially has no access to televisions,
no access to movies.
This is coming out of her interiority.
Baba Vanga proclaimed her prophetic abilities
not only allowed her to tap into an unknown realm of information,
but it also put her in contact with extraterrestrials.
Baba Vanga talked
about these extraterrestrials that are invisible,
or more like they are presences
like clear reflections of water shimmering.
And they shared with her many secrets,
which she says are locked
inside the scriptures of many religions.
You have to wonder with her
where she was getting this information.
Is it possible
she was able to access some kind of knowledge
that's out there that normal people cannot access?
Throughout the centuries,
there have been oracles and prophets
that have claimed contact with otherworldly realms
as a source of their inspiration.
This includes prolific seers like Michel de Nostredame,
better known as Nostradamus,
who published his seminal book, The Prophesies,
in 1555 A.D.
Biographers claim that he predicted
numerous future events,
including the Great London Fire of 1666,
the rise of Adolf Hitler,
and even the Iranian revolution of 1979. -
Nostradamus has been often shown
as a man looking at bowls of water.
He did do that, but that was very minor.
His main use was tapping into the divine source.
Nostradamus tries, in his labored narratives,
to explain a divine state where everything is happening,
not in a linear sense but all happening at once...
Past, present and future concepts bind into one thing.
Most prophets say
that they are tapping into another reality
beyond this earthly existence.
So, potentially, they could be tapping
into a layer of reality
that is shared by otherworldly beings,
extraterrestrial intelligence, and so on and so forth.
It may be the information is there,
it's that our brains are not evolved yet
to see the information.
So there have been mystics and there have been prophets
and there have been philosophers who are able,
through either meditation or observation
or whatever their medium is,
to get to that place of information,
and have been able to access something deeper,
something greater, a bigger picture.
If seers like Baba Vanga, Nostradamus and others
are able to access an unseen cloud of information
to obtain their prophesies,
might this realm have also been tapped
by some of history's most brilliant minds?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the shocking statements
made by one of the greatest visionaries of the 20th century,
Nikola Tesla.
New York City. 1922.
Two Columbia University sociologists,
William Ogburn and Dorothy Thomas,
publish a paper in the Academy of Political Science Journal
entitled "Are Inventions Inevitable?"
In it, they cite 148 instances of simultaneous inventions
where two or more individuals,
each operating without knowledge of the others' work,
came up with the same groundbreaking innovation
or theory at the same time.
How is it that people
in different continents, different cultures
can come up with the same idea at almost exactly the same time?
And it's seen throughout history.
Albert Einstein says that he came up with the idea
for relativity in a few moments.
It suddenly came into his mind.
Einstein's discovery of relativity
was preceded, almost simultaneously,
by a theoretical physicist, a Frenchman named Poincaré.
You have the radio
being developed by both Nikola Tesla
and Guglielmo Marconi at the same time.
You have the telephone, also being developed
at the same time.
There's many incidences in history like this.
During World War II,
British engineer Sir Frank Whittle
and a German physicist, Hans von Ohain,
both invented the first jet engine.
The designs were strikingly similar,
and because they were serving on different sides of the war,
neither had any knowledge of the other's work.
More recently, a revolutionary discovery was made
by two scientists independent of each other.
In fact, they were thousands of miles apart.
And they came up with the same discovery
that neutrinos have mass.
And one has to wonder if this can be attributed to coincidence
or if both scientists tapped into
what is known as the Akashic record.
There have been discoveries that have shown up
around the planet at the exact same time.
People that aren't connected,
people that have no influence upon each other,
and those are the things that start to emerge
simultaneously around the planet.
Here's the interesting thing.
This goes back to the idea that we find information
in the substrate of the physical world.
It may just be that every single discovery
that we ever wanted to discover
is already in the room right now.
It isn't that the information is not there,
it's that our brains are not evolved yet
to see the information.
Now, not everybody is on the same wavelength.
Not everybody's evolved at the same rate; that's also true.
So there are people throughout history
that could access that information.
This effect has been documented all the way back
to the time of the Renaissance and the Reformation...
Things like the discovery of the telescope,
the identification of the colors in the rainbow,
the identification of basic chemistry,
the theory of evolution.
Scientists try to explain it.
And they think people have a certain level of technology
at a certain time, and they have the tools in front of them
to be able to make breakthroughs.
That doesn't explain why it happens so precisely,
that in many cases it is literally simultaneous.
We have to look at the possibility
that extraterrestrials could be introducing ideas
into this information field.
It's sort of as if something has been uploaded into the cloud.
Curious statements
made by one of history's greatest visionaries,
Nikola Tesla, seem to point to some sort of influence
from an otherworldly realm of information.
Tesla was most notably responsible
for the practical application of alternating current,
the foundation of our modern electrical grid.
In his autobiography,
Tesla, he talked about the day that he had the revelation
of how to harness alternating current.
Right before that, he had a serious flu,
but he said that he felt that he could detect light
from his forehead and that he was able to receive information
from other sources,
and that this other source entered his consciousness
and he was then enabled to come up with this invention
which changed the world.
Tesla felt that we were receivers,
that all impulses came from the outside
and that we worked under these impulses.
So, he doesn't believe
that they come from dreams or inner visions.
He really felt that we were, in a sense, self-propelled robots.
It appears that Tesla got more information
than anyone rightfully should have been able to get
for his time in history, where he was and when he was.
It could be the result of outside influence
from the Akashic Field
steering us along a path to make sure
that we have reached a certain level
of technological sophistication
within a certain prescribed time window.
Could the nature of genius
lie in the ability of visionaries
to tap into an otherworldly realm of knowledge?
If the information contained within this field
was uploaded by extraterrestrials,
as ancient astronaut theorists propose,
does this suggest that humans are on a predetermined path?
And if so, what are we being guided to do?
Sofia, Bulgaria.
After her death in 1996,
the home of the 20th century prophet Baba Vanga
is turned into a museum
so that followers can continue to pay their respects.
Among the hundreds of thousands of future readings
given by the blind prophet during her lifetime,
many relate to events concerning the whole of the human race,
events, centuries, and even millennia into the future.
If we look at Baba Vanga's prophecies,
they're a lot like contemporary science fiction.
In her accounts,
Baba Vanga claimed the world will undergo many changes.
It will rise, and it will fall.
But the balance will be established
when extraterrestrials start to communicate with humans.
She said, "You don't see it now,
"but there is a huge movement of crafts in the sky.
"Usually, there are three of them flying.
"They tell me, 'Be prepared for a big event, '
but they don't tell me what it is."
Baba Vanga is unique in being very much a prophet
that looks at the future of man in space,
humanity in space and extraterrestrial contact,
which she assures us will happen in the next 200 years.
By 2130, Baba Vanga prophesied
that human colonies deep under the ocean
would be created with the assistance
of extraterrestrial beings,
who would lend us a tremendous hand
in developing this new civilization.
By 2183,
humans would already have a colony on Mars.
The human colony would revolt,
ultimately leading to a nuclear confrontation.
By 2221, humanity in search of alien life
would come into contact or knowledge
of something absolutely horrific,
but she does not tell us what this means.
Are we headed toward the future
that Baba Vanga somehow tapped into,
a future that is written within the Akashic record?
March, 2017.
The U.S. Congress passes the NASA Authorization Act
and issues a mandate for the organization
to get humans to Mars by 2033.
Officials at the space agency
immediately respond with a detailed plan
outlining their strategy to accomplish this goal.
Along with NASA mission plans,
the European Space Agency, China, United Arab Emirates
and India are all slated to send orbiters to the planet
in the next few years.
And private ventures,
including Mars One, SpaceX and even Boeing
have all set their sights
on successfully colonizing the Red Planet
within the next decade.
At present,
there's a race among several nations and private companies
to get to Mars and to colonize Mars.
So what's going on here?
One of humanity's great visionaries,
Elon Musk, sees real problems ahead for humanity.
In his view, our colonization of Mars
is an effort to save or back up humanity.
It's a compelling possibility that, in fact,
there is some greater organized effort being made
to steer human knowledge towards a desired outcome.
Our brain could act as a tuning fork or antenna
for the Akashic record itself,
which may have very explicit directions leading us
down a certain path.
We're going to Mars.
We're going to be a space-faring nation and civilization,
going to other planets.
And like the phenomenon of spontaneous invention,
we have people all over the world
suddenly pushing us to go to Mars.
Is it possible that this information
is actually being sent to humans in order to-to move us forward?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that if mankind fulfills its mission
to colonize Mars, we may be repeating the past.
According to scientific evidence proposed by Dr. John Brandenburg
in an article for the Journal of Cosmology in 2014,
Baba Vanga's prediction for a nuclear event on Mars
may have happened once before.
There appears to have been
a devastating nuclear attack on Mars.
Two massive nuclear weapons
detonated over the surface of Mars,
apparently dropped from space.
I originally proposed as an explanation
that this was a natural nuclear reactor
that had gone unstable.
However, as I talked to more scientists,
they said the Xenon spectrum is wrong.
That is weapons signature.
There's no natural phenomenon
that can account for this nuclear data.
Evidence has shown us
that there's possibility that Mars did, in fact,
suffer a nuclear war deep, deep in ancient history.
This would suggest that human events are repeated
and that throughout time
we go back and retrace our steps.
It could be that the past, present and future
has already happened.
And if that's the case, you're really looking at a system
that repeats itself over and over and over again.
And that could be looked at as a script.
It could be looked at as a computer code.
Then it would make sense that we are in-in some way
being directed by that information.
It is guiding our behavior.
These prophecies may be actually something
where people were tapping into a future
that already existed in some other sense.
And it appears to be something
that is part of a greater cosmic script
that we're all following
that does have an extraterrestrial influence
in making sure that we stay on the script.
Is it possible
that the Akashic record contains a script...
Like a cosmic computer code...
That humans are being programmed to follow?
Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining evidence discovered by theoretical physicists
that there is programming language
embedded in the very fabric of the universe.
College Park, Maryland. 2008.
Renowned physicist and University of Maryland professor
S. James Gates Jr. Coauthors a report
announcing that he found specific computer code
in the equations defining the fabric of the universe.
He theorizes that since these error-correcting codes
are indistinguishable
from those that drive search engines on our computers,
it suggests that the cosmos is digital in nature.
Professor Gates finding computer code
in his string theories, it literally shook me,
because what he's saying is that there is code...
And not only code,
but code that we use for our computers...
In the fabric of reality.
So the implication is that our reality is digital,
that every experience you've ever had
is based on code.
They have found computer algorithms
in the existence of the universe,
a code of one and zeros, which would imply
that the idea of an information field
or the cloud is not a new idea,
and it's happened before.
Now, what the forces are behind the Akashic record,
your guess is as good as mine.
If computer code is embedded
within the very fabric of the universe,
might it have been put there
by an ancient extraterrestrial race,
or possibly even an earlier race of humans?
And has mankind established a new Akashic record
with the creation of the cloud?
But if so, are we merely following
a pre-programmed cosmic script
embedded within an invisible realm
that exists all around us?
Do we have free will, or are we totally determined?
The answer is: if you're not aware
of the choices you're making, you're a biological robot.
But if you become conscious of the nature of the universe,
then you can start to have some degree of freedom.
As we reclaim the Akashic records,
and even go beyond it,
this could be the key that opens the door
that will enable us to enter
into a new level of existence or a new reality.
We are evolving to a stage
where we're unlocking secrets and codes and patterns
that have always been there.
It's mind-blowing, but it's also conscious-altering.
What it does is it starts to drive humanity towards
discovering what we really are, who we really are.
What's our purpose here as a species?
Is there really a cosmic repository
of all knowledge contained within the universe,
past, present and future?
And if so, does the recent invention
of what is commonly known as the cloud
help pave the way to a future of limitless possibilities?
Perhaps when we finally tap into the Akashic record,
we will find out
that humanity has been following a program
that has been in place for millions of years,
a program that will ultimately lead us
to our final destiny on other worlds.
