Richard, In a weak sense this Akashic records stuff has some merit.
The theory I present in my book is that reality is computational. This means that the computational interactions of information forms changes those information forms and those changes encode prior information states in a distributed fashion among subsequent information states. I call this 'The Sherlock Holmes Principle'. Which states that all current information contains distributed traces of past information, all the way back to the big bang. Thus given sufficient capability it is possible to 'read' past information states from current information states. This is of course obviously the basis of scientific method and all knowledge but it does have deeper implications. Why? Because it implies that everything without exception is only the information of what it is. And the information of what it is is the current result of all its past computational interactions, Thus everything without exception is its information history, its computational history. And that all past information still exists in a distributed manner in all current information (subject to some constraints imposed by quantum granularity). And some other stuff as well... So in that sense, it is possible to theoretically read all information from the current information state of the universe.
