akasha

Fifth Hindu element

Akasha is a Sanskrit term from Hindu and Buddhist philosophy referring to the fifth element—a subtle, all-pervading space or ether that permeates the universe.

In esoteric and theosophical traditions, the akashic records are believed to be a cosmic library containing all human experience and knowledge, accessible through spiritual practice or altered states.

The concept appears in New Age spirituality and fantasy fiction as a mystical substance or dimension underlying physical reality.
