Tracing My Yoruba Roots Through Akashic Time and Space—A Starseed Journey


About The Gateway Project


This inquiry begins not with a destination, but with a remembrance. Through what is often described as traveling the Akashic Records—a metaphoric archive of collective memory—I trace a Yoruba story that refuses to remain fixed in one geography or one era. Instead, it moves fluidly through time and space, echoing across the Niger River basin, reverberating through ancient Egypt, and resurfacing, unexpectedly yet familiarly, within Scottish-Irish mythic traditions. What emerges is not a claim of linear history, but a contemplation of continuity—biological, cosmological, and historically.


The Yoruba worldview, with its intricate cosmology and reverence for ancestral intelligence, offers a framework through which this continuity can be explored. Similar archetypes—solar knowledge, star orientation, ritual protection, and divine intermediaries—appear across cultures separated by oceans and centuries. Whether understood as migration, shared mythic language, or a deeper resonance within human consciousness, these parallels suggest an ancient West African custom that may have traveled far beyond its point of origin, carried not only by bodies, but by stories, symbols, and memory itself.


This pursuit may also be described, in contemporary language, as a form of starseed awakening: a return to primordial knowledge embedded within the self, activated through reflection, meditation, and ancestral inquiry. The Akashic Records, in this sense, function less as a literal destination and more as a lens—one that allows the past to speak across civilizations, inviting us to consider how identity, ancestry, and cosmic belonging are eternally intertwined.
