I think its a very interesting read. There is a theory, who says that this akashic records are in fact informations coded in our DNA, and accessible when the mind is in alterated states of consciousness. For me, it makes sense, as the amount of our DNA that is used for coding proteines os just a small part of it, and the most part of our DNA have a still unknown function. Many scientists consider them as "garbage". But, who knows what is coded there? I believe its what we call "collective unconscious", "akashic records", and so.

Its discussed with more detail in:

At the "VII. THE NEUROGENETIC CIRCUIT" chapter.
