yeah, i am inclined towards the model of the akashic records - a conduit to accessing the information of the universe for all time, but more likely there is only a limited data set that you can even comprehend out of that, let alone is relevant to you. this would be some kind of far out quantum nonlocality wave function type stuff.

there is, however, a pretty good chance that since that model has some viability based on what we already know about physics, that there is also ways to exploit some kind of quantum nonlocality effect that is part of our brain function that an advanced civilization might know how to use to communicate with us, as well.
