Becoming a Believer in Akashic Records | Laura Coe x Dave Asprey

It's interesting to put science behind it. And one thing that impressed me with your work is you went out and you got readings from different people to see if they agreed, which is very scientific. And I do the same thing. I honestly think you shouldn't trust any psychic or fortune teller or akashic records reader unless you've validated them. And the way you validate is three people all say the same thing and they don't know each other. There's a great likelihood that. That it's probably real. And the skeptic is going, yeah, but they could be like reading your pulse rate and the dilation of your left eye. And there, yes, there are mentalists who do that stuff, but those aren't the kind of questions you ask.

So, no. And Dave, honestly, I was telling some friends I want to move in a mini. A modern minimalist apartment on the lake. That's super random, right? And I don't even know why I was saying it. I went into my first reading, this lady looks at me. Never seen her before. I told like three friends that she asked me my name, she read some sentences. She goes, in my Akashic field, and she goes, I see a modern minimalist apartment on the lake. And I mean, I was like, wait, what? And it was just random.

Come on. Totally random.

Totally random, right? And then I. The second reading I did, I was in New York City, and I bought this Tibetan bowl on the streets in New York City. And the second reading, I was in Manhattan. I bought it with my partner. We were sitting there in a. In a hotel, just purchased the day before. And the first thing she says is, I see a Tibetan bowl. And I'm like. And she starts talking about this bull and explains it in detail. So it's like that all the time. All the time. There's just. I told this lady once in a reading, I was trying to compare her mind to a tape recorder. And I said, you know those tape recorders, the ones that you got in the basement in a. In a desk, in a corner where you pull it out and you push the button, and the tape is like that old school tape, and the reel is really worn down? I'm like, the story you're telling yourself is like that. It's a worn down. You got. Just take that thing, put it back in the basement, put it in a desk. And she looks at me and says, you have no idea what you just said. And I'm like, I don't. I've never met her. And she said, yesterday I found a Tape recorder in a desk in the corner in the basement. I took it out, I showed my son that I had this old eight track tape thing and then I put it back in the corner in the basement in the cabinet. And I mean, I don't think there's a reading that happens where people aren't in this sort of shock and awe around it. Um, and so it's definitely. Listen, I. I have a lot of things to do with my life. I don't have an interest in Google searching. People are looking for their itwitches. I mean, that's a waste of my time too, right? Like, I'm only doing this because it's really freaking cool and people are getting all this value and I got value. And not only did I go around the country and just call random people because I was such a pain in the ass, I would literally try it over and over and over. But then I started training people. I used the same question on the first 200 people I trained. I'd ask the exact same question, random people. And I got the same, I mean, different metaphor, slightly different languaging, but the same answer would come through over and over. Because I was skeptical, right? Like, my dad's a world famous physician. I didn't grow up with a religion. This stuff was not accessible to me in a. Like, this makes sense for me or, or, I don't know, I felt very fraudulent a lot thinking about it. But it, it just has proven to be so true so many times that I was like, you know what? It's really helpful to my life. And it's like this accelerator to personal growth. So why would I not use this? I mean, I don't get it. I don't think anybody does, but who cares? Like, I don't understand love exactly. Like, we don't know why we fall in love. It's a strange thing. I still think it's worth participating in. And art, I mean, art's sort of odd. Why do we care about it? But I love it, so it's worthy, right? I mean, not everything has to be perfectly logical to me all the time. So if it, if it has value, right? And this does for me.
