The Akasphere is the subtle biome and atmosphere of Gaia which reveals the roots and branches of the World Tree. It is the layer of awareness in which synchronicities and karmic entanglements may be witnessed. The cloud atlas between Heaven and Earth, illuminating the threadwork of connections between that play out as our mortal selves and is the map of our unity implied by the witnessing of synchronicity over the expanse of many lifetimes and stories. As a subtle layer of the akasha which transcends the current incarnation of one’s character, the akasphere is where the threadwork of aka threads that make up our timelines across multiple bodies can be seen, the map of cause and effect throughout the Akasha.
To my karmic perception, Aka are the archetypical arrangements of aka threads, proto-concepts of ideas which then manifest within the ethers of consciousness. They are the proto-forms of things, the architectures of meaning themselves, the way in which things are interpreted and what they represent across the ethers of the consciousness.
In the context of the layers of Gaia, Aka are the archetypical aspects of form that lay in the causal layer of the world, existing as primes of meaning. They are the primal elements as they occur as the major aspects of our stories. The qualities of consciousness which define our many journeys of self-realization.
If the subtle layer of the Mythosphere can be said to have the many iterations of a primal element in the form of Goddesses, Gods and all kinds of mythologies, the place of the Aka could be said to be where the more primal ideas of those things exist, where the most basic levels of meaning have gravity. The concept of a thing before it becomes the culture. In a very real way, the Aka are the geometries upon which the mythologies are based. They are the structural basis for meaning itself.
The Stars beneath the Skin
In our journey through the layers of the world the akasphere is the place where our individual mythologies play out as geometric forms, as constellations of macro-archetypes that form the distilled shapes beneath our path. These are the Aka, the constellations of karma.
Like all things the aka exist in both the individual and the collective aspect of the unified self. They are the patterns of shadow and sacredness, the geometries of meaning that form the mortal experience, more distilled than the mythologies of the upper triad of layers.
An easy example of the akasphere exists in popular culture. For those who are interested, there is a beautiful film and book called ‘Cloud Atlas’, which shows a number of characters across many timelines, experiencing a sense of unity of connection and consequence across many lives. The implication is that there is an atlas amongst the clouds, a landscape of how such things arraign in space and time. That cloud atlas is the akasphere and the threadlines of aka which are seen through it’s endless horizon.
On the subtle planes of awareness, the Akasphere, woven of the threads of aka, appears much like the mycellium strands and rootwork of Gaia’s other systems. It is singular in this in that the various ‘plants’ of Gaia in this example are human beings, who, unlike trees or other rooted aspects of Gaia, move, or rather, are moved around through the circumstance of their lives, pollinating other aspects of Gaia’s form over a millenial standard of evolution.
As awareness having a mortal experience, we are always perceiving the akasphere to one degree or another, recognizing synchronicities and ‘soul contracts’, ‘karmas’ and ‘miracles’ that appear to involve certain other key individuals in our lives. This is the expression of the principle of the akasphere as it shows itself on the surface of our awareness. Yet as we deepen our ability to divine our conditions, our sense of this deepens, and we gain greater clarity on this most subtle of mapworks of the human condition. As Author-Adventurers in the Mythica, the process of chronicling our journey across the underlands as a mythopoetic adventure featuring the characters and World we are led to on the path, we are revealing the surface expression of the Akasphere, the filaments of akasha that play out on our branch of the World Tree. In this way, our stories act as a window into the akasphere, revealing the deeper intricacies and subtle connections that underlie our many synchronicities. Seen in it’s mythopoetic expression, the akasphere is the place where the very specific set of synchronicities and conditions are linked together by our characters in the Great Story. It is the dreamy atlas of clouds, moving across the heavens and the earth in which our mythology and meaning reside.
All things are made of arrangements of this stardust of consciousness. Existing as archetypical combinations of the primal elements they are the backdrop for our stories. The fields of inspiration which give rise to the many forms and realities.

This is the layer of geometries, more constant than the shifting senses of identity and mythology that permeate the upper three layers of the Tree.

The Realm of Myths and Stories
Now that we understand how all myths and meaning and thus all stories are made from the primal elements, let’s look at what stories are made of, and where they exist in the subconscious field of the self and the much larger environment of Gaia for in truth, they are one and the same.
The Akasphere exists as part of the subtle atmosphere of Gaia, and is the place where the impressions in the akasha that play out as our collective mythologies may be seen.
