Salvia & Akashic Records... Astral record keeping?

OK. For those spiritually minded folk out there, what do you think about this? First, the following is taken from Wikipedia
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_records
" The Akashic Records (Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or "aether") are said to be a collection of mystical knowledge that is stored in the aether; i.e. on a non-physical plane of existence. The concept is common in some New Age religious groups. The Akashic Records are said to have existed since the beginning of Creation. Just as we have various specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc). Most writings refer to the Akashic Records in the area of human experience.
Some who believe in the Records claim that they were used by ancient peoples around the world, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians, Druids, and Mayans. The belief is that the ancient Indian sages of the Himalayas knew that each soul recorded every moment of its existence in a "book", and that if one attuned oneself properly then one could read or view that book."
Alright, i got led there from a sentence in the entry on 'astral plane' - "Projectors may find access to visions of the past or future and to the Akashic records accessible from here."
If you read further on the entry on them, you will see that they have been mentioned by a lot of major religions and spiritually minded groups. I find it strange that Salvia often produces this "folding page in the book of reality" feeling, often time people living other lives, or like Daniel Siebert's trip from sagewidsom when he first smokes crystals, and flashes very literaly to different points and places in his life.
For those who believe there is something to everything, and everything isnt nothing, what do you think about this connection? Do you think Salvia is a possible tool to access this astral "book"? I find it notable as well that this is only one "type" of salvia trip, however, MOST people experience like one of 10 or less similar-themed salvia trips (but yet distinctly unique to the individual)... almost as if its a key to one of several kinds of astral "places". Anyway. just thought i would throw some thoughts out there, i found it interesting and familiar when i read it. Any ideas?

No, I do not think salvia is a useful tool for consulting "the book."
Yes, I believe in the concept of Akashic records, however I don't think that the use of drugs is a shortcut to gaining that sort of insight. Personal insight, maybe... but for the most part, salvia will not teach you anything other than what's going on inside your own mind.

anything that gives you the sense of extra space (like salvia certainly does) puts you where you can appreciate something like this.
the devil is in the details - I mean if you can sense that the memory is there, can you experience it? if you can experience it can you use it, can you access other persons' contributions while yet incarnate with your own body and personality?
I can see how biologic memory works and I can see how a biologic sense of expansive space in mind works with salvia, I can even accept there is no akashic thing beyond our imagining of it, but I an also allow that this imagining could have a substatial existence too, especially if a few people are into it.

The wikipedia entry on astral plane says yes... they call it Virtual reality projection (as opposed to astral projection, on the astral plane, and Real time projection, which is like an OOBE where your "spirit" flies around on earth)
"Virutal Reality Projection
Part astral projection and part real time projection, called Virtual Reality Projection by most, is when a projector claims to move on the physical plane and interact with the astral plane at the same time. An example of this is the projector walking into a "real" poster or picture and being transported to a perfect reconstruction of this place/world, via the concentrated experiences and thoughts of every beholder of the concept of the picture."
I have had something similiar to this happen to me before once on mushrooms, however, i cant get beyond the idea of whether its fully self-created (most likely) or if its really influenced by other consciousness's experiences. Ive never had any "OOBE" or "astral travel" except a few haaard salvia trips, but never else (except that one time on mushrooms when i let go very briefly and was in this weird living temple for a few seconds). So i dont know... i would like to take a rip of salvia extract after exhaling my third huge DMT rip... THEN ill know... then ill know... (j/k).
