Yes, the Akashic records are real and are even discussed in many religious texts such as the Torah (the first 5 books of the bible), the Holy Bible / Torah (in Exodus), The Holy Quran, and others. The Akashic records are not a physical structure library but rather a spiritual /energetic construct that is felt and helps you connect the dots in regards to your  life purpose. It's a personal experience that resonates with the individual and soul family alone.
