Within/Without

The knowledge from within that Zina speaks of is really knowledge from without. If a person can speak a foreign language in this life without apparent learning it is usually because he learned that language through the normal process in a past life, not from within but from without.

It is true that a record of all history is recorded in the Akasha, but even if you have the ability to read it correctly (which is rare) this is still a form of learning from without. Your physical form without is composed of the mental, astral and physical bodies, and any learning through any of these bodies is without.

For all practical purposes, the learning of all knowledge is from without. When Zina saw the set of words she still had to learn from without whether the words were Italian or French.

If you take all the paragraphs in a novel and cut them up, put them in a big bowl and throw them in the air and let them land randomly and then read the various phrases it would be difficult to make sense of them. Very little could be learned about their real story, without great effort. This corresponds to the human attempts to read the Akasha. It is distorted by many fogs of illusion and glamour plus much misinformation, and is only really useful to one who goes beyond knowledge into principles from the formless worlds, which are attained by a true "going within." Only through the use of principles (or checking from without) can a person know if knowledge from the Akasha is accurate.

We are all familiar with Houdini's experiment of leaving a message for psychics to attempt to read after he died. He even agreed to help them by communicating the message from beyond the grave if possible. So far no one has been able to "go within" and retrieve this message. What makes this a lot more difficult than coming up with words from a foreign tongue is that none of us have Houdini's message in our past life memory banks. Therefore, the only way to retrieve the message is to contact the real Akasha with an understanding of the principles involved.

This illustrates that for all practical purposes, the only way to learn facts and data (knowledge) in a useful way is through the normal process of sensory perception. And if you are going to learn anything complicated it helps to have a good teacher.

If you want to test your theory of learning within I'll give you a question that you cannot retrieve from a past life. I am writing in my notepad a one digit number. This gives you a reasonable chance of getting the right answer. Go within and tell me what it is.
