Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mary’s Transition: Television to Mystical Practice

Turning Points

• Introduction to the Akashic Records: Mary first encountered the Akashic Records through a psychic reading, where a being “guarding her records” was perceived. (03:03)
• Experiencing the Records Firsthand: Guided by Linda Howe’s book, she began opening her records and realized the messages “were blocks of thought that were not mine, and they were very profound.” (04:00)
• Affirming the Calling: The real confirmation came as she began reading for clients and “witnessed the amazing, powerful shifts that people were having.” (05:14)
  • Quote: “I know I’m here to help people see their own light. I’ve always known that since I was a kid.” — Mary (05:30)

2. What Are the Akashic Records?

Scientific and Experiential Definitions

• Quantum Parallel: Mary likens the Records to the quantum field, a nonlinear, holographic realm where “everything exists all at once.” (07:40)
  • Quote: “It is a quantum realm...measurable now. There is this field, the quantum field, and this field is a blank slate until the actions of humans...become imprinted.” — Mary (07:53)
• Blueprint of the Soul: The Records are an “experiential body of knowledge” detailing the unique path each soul chooses across lifetimes, accessible through intention and sacred prayer. (09:55)

3. The Experience of Accessing the Records

• Subtle Shift in Consciousness: Mary describes the act of accessing as entering a higher vibrational state:
  • Quote: “It’s as if I just gently slip out of a third dimensional reality. But I’m still present. I’m still using my mind, or I should say the Divine realm is using my mind.” (05:50)
• Difference from Meditation: This heightened state is distinct from deep meditation—she remains consciously aware and functional. (06:24)
• The Role of the Higher Self: When reading, it is her “higher self” operating—an aspect “made up of universal love.” The more she works in this state, the more it integrates into daily life.
  • Quote: “The goal is...just to run around in life interacting...as our higher selves, which is what the Records show us.” (12:22)

4. Purpose: Remembering, Not Fixing

• Design of Humanity: The Records teach that humanity is designed as “high vibrational beings”—“born as balls of light”—who enter life to remember our true essence. (13:42)
  • Quote: “We already come in with gain. We already have everything we need.” (15:35)
• The Role of Challenge: Difficult experiences serve as a means to “realign” or “remember” our light, feeding back into the source—contributing to the expansion of universal love. (16:10)

5. Transmissions, Trust, and Healing

• Nature of Messages: The guidance that flows is “steeped in a love...I had not and have not experienced in my everyday life—universal love or God love.” (16:53)
• Authenticity Check: Doubt is absent in-session, replaced by a felt sense of divinity and connection. (17:31)
• On Trauma & Healing:
  • The Records posit that “nothing in our past is wasted”—even trauma holds energy that can be reclaimed, transmuted, and used constructively. (18:57)
    • Example (21:50): A client recognized the immense power behind his past anger and learned to channel that energy into his shamanic work.
  • The process isn’t about ‘healing’ per se, but allowing and realigning—simply remembering who you are brings transformation.
    • Quote: “None of us need healing. It’s more like a realignment.” (24:21)

6. The Ego: Illusion, Not Enemy

• Records on Ego:
  • The ego is “not real. It’s manufactured,” arising from acting without knowledge of our original love-based essence. (26:58)
  • Fighting ego is unnecessary; “all we need to do is create...continually from love. Then there is no fight, not necessary.” (29:38)
  • Quote: “The ego...behaves as if it is love, but it’s really not.” (29:54)

7. Surprising Reveals & Past Life Insight

• Challenging Messages: Mary shares her personal discomfort upon learning she had “scorned others and been scorned” in a past life, but also recognized it as the root of her passion for advocating for society’s underdogs. (30:39)
  • Quote: “The experience of being scorned and having scorned others, it actually...informs how I live in the world today.” (31:12)
• Clarity in Readings: Past lives may come through as images, thoughts, or even feelings—but specifics are always in service of present transformation. (33:56)
  • Quote: “Sometimes I will see...like, you were the wife of a pharaoh...it opens something up.” (34:25)

8. On Collective Records: War, Change, and Unity

• Current World Message: We are “at a pivotal point”—what the Records term the ‘911 call’ for “light warriors” to step up and expand the presence of light on earth. (38:38)
  • Quote: “We’re being asked to step into the grandest, greatest expansion of light ever in the history of the world...there is no fear.” (39:20)
• Duality and Unity: The Records stress we do not need duality or shadow for happiness; “unity consciousness” is humanity’s destiny. (40:30)
• The Earth (Gaia): Gaia is not in danger—her well-being transcends current human action. (41:38)
• Ancient Wisdom Keepers: Revisit and root in the teachings of indigenous and ancient wisdom for guidance—“the wisdom of the past is going to be our future.” (43:06)

9. Akashic Records for Companies and Institutions

• Energetic Entities: Organizations, ideas, even locations or animals, are living energetic beings with their own “essences” and life courses. (44:17)
  • Example (46:40): A CEO distressed about selling her company found peace by recognizing her co-creative partnership with the organization’s inherent intelligence—it has “work to do,” beyond names and owners.

10. Starting Your Own Journey

• First Steps:
  • Follow curiosity, research the Records (Mary suggests Linda Howe’s How to Read the Akashic Records), and trust any spark of familiarity.
  • Encouragement: “We all can do this. If you’re feeling it, keep surrounding yourself by anything to do with the Akashic Records and you’ll be guided.” (48:51)

• On the ego:

Final Thoughts & Recommendations

Mary emphasizes that the Akashic Records are neither esoteric fantasy nor exclusive to mystics—they’re a field each person can access for remembering their purpose and reclaiming their wholeness. Healing, she asserts, is less about fixing and more about allowing alignment with one’s original light. For listeners feeling the whisper of the Records, resources such as Linda Howe’s works provide a starting point, but embracing that spark may be all that is required.

Host’s Closing Note:
“The soul is not distant, symbolic, or abstract. It is immediate, interior, and profoundly intimate...every moment of confusion, resistance, longing or ache is not a detour, but a doorway...we are not here to become something. We are here to remember what has always been true.” — Dr. Juan Carlos Rey (51:28)

For the curious, the skeptical, and the seeking alike, this episode invites us all, as Dr. Rey says, to ‘stay with the mystery—just try not to solve it too quickly.’
