March Equinox: Conversation between the I and AM by Matías De Stefano
ME: So, the March Equinox is the first portal of the year.
I AM: No.
ME: What do you mean no?
I AM: As always, we ask ourselves again: from whose perspective?
ME: Oh, sure…
I AM: We consider the March Equinox a strategic point to begin, according to the Northern Hemisphere, since spring begins on this specific day, while for the Southern Hemisphere it’s autumn. And spring is a good time to begin, since plants begin to sprout again, which means the time for sowing is near.
ME: Ah, that’s why the horoscope also starts on this day. Aries.
I AM: The moment of beginning, the baby who begins to grow, the goat that in ancient times was given as an offering to the Earth, returning wealth, winter nourishment to Mother Earth, so that she may give us life again. A Middle Eastern tradition that went from the field to the sky.
ME: So if everything is a cycle of constant transformation, it’s impossible to say when the beginning is.
I AM: Remember that the Year is an idea generated by cultures to record that a complete revolution around the sun has already been completed. But a revolution can be counted from any instant; that is, every second can be considered a new year. However, the seasonal points of movement or equinoxes of movement (Solstices and Equinoxes) are key to determining the ends and beginnings of something. Therefore, we have four moments in the year that can be considered a beginning and an end.
ME: Why do we use December 31st as the end of the year? And not some other date.
I AM: Because the December Solstice, around the 21st, represents the darkest day of the year, the longest night, and then, over the next three days, the return to longer days begins. Wouldn’t you consider this fundamental to a grand ending and a grand beginning?
ME: Totally.
SOY: The problem is that this also happens in June, but in the southern hemisphere.
ME: So that new year, below the equator, would begin on June 21st.
I AM: Exactly.
ME: And why isn’t it celebrated?
I AM: Because the only traditions that lived this reality were native peoples with culture, traditions, spiritual and artistic wealth, but without civilizations with expansive organizations. The Ona, Mapuche, Selknam, Anangu, Koori, Maori, Zulu, Xhosa, to mention just 5% of the southern inhabitants, and so many others, all of them were easily dominated by European traditions. The only important civilization in the southern world was the Quechua-Aymara empire, the famous Incas, who opened the doors to the conquerors. Thus, all traditions of time, of the way of understanding the world and its movement, came to be solely in the hands of the vision of the Semitic cultures of the Middle East. However, for other traditions, the important moments are not the solstices, but the equinoxes. In ancient Persia, for example, or Hindu and Indonesian traditions, they use the beginning of spring as the beginning of the year. However, other traditions celebrate it at different times. In turn, some are not even based on the cycle of the Solar Cross, but on the moons, like the Chinese calendar.
ME: And why are we going to start the task with the March Equinox and not with others?
I AM: Simply because it is the first portal moment after the Portal day of February 22nd, the moment of the Network activation, which exactly 2 years ago activated this planetary task that began 4 years ago in the same month, on February 2nd. The anniversary of the Network reconnection mission is the month of February, and therefore, for us, the planetary reconnection tasks will generally begin in March.
ME: Ah, I understand.
I AM: In Atlantean times, this day was called Hol-Phyr, which means Time, Cycle, or Stage of Fire. This was the name given to the period between the March equinox and the June solstice, as it was the time when we reconnected with our inner power, the divine spark that ignites our potential. The seed is synonymous with the spark, and therefore, fire was found in that tiny aspect that provided food, which gave us strength, life, and energy.
ME: Is that the intention of these following months?
I AM: This is the intention that we will all put together in this Cycle of Fire.
ME: How?
I AM: Let’s remember the mission and how to prepare for it, before stepping on the first of the 5 Nodes that we will activate on March 20th.

What Is the Akasha in Spirituality?
In spirituality, the Akasha is known as the invisible fabric that sustains all of existence. It is a universal field of information where the experiences, thoughts, emotions, and intentions of all beings are recorded. It is not a material substance, but an energetic dimension beyond time and space, connecting all levels of being.
From this perspective, the Akasha acts as a cosmic memory. Every soul leaves there the imprint of its past lives, its decisions, its lessons, and the challenges it has yet to integrate. Accessing this information allows for a clearer understanding of recurring patterns, karmic ties, and the deeper meaning of human experience.
In the series Inner Worlds Outer Worlds, available on Gaia, this concept is explored in depth. The episode dedicated to the Akasha offers an accessible and profound vision of how this dimension has been recognized by different cultures and how it influences both individual and collective consciousness.
Akasha as the Fifth Element: Ether and Universal Vibration
In many ancient traditions, the Akasha is considered the fifth element, also known as ether. Unlike water, earth, fire, and air, ether has no form or weight. It is the primordial substance that allows the existence of the other elements and acts as the space that contains everything. From this perspective, the Akasha is the field where the vibration that gives rise to matter, sound, and thought is born.
This field is not only subtle, but also vibratory. Everything that exists emits a frequency, and that frequency is recorded in the Akasha as an energetic imprint. For this reason, it is said that it is an inexhaustible source of information, accessible through expanded consciousness. Understanding the Akasha as ether allows it to be seen not only as a spiritual archive, but as the invisible foundation of reality itself.
Differences Between Akasha and the Akashic Records
Although they are related, the Akasha and the Akashic Records are not the same. The Akasha is the universal vibrational field that contains all the information of the soul and the universe. It is a subtle dimension that exists beyond words and forms, and access to it does not depend on a specific structure.
The Akashic Records, by contrast, are an organized way of accessing that information. They function as a symbolic or narrative “translation” of the Akasha, which can be interpreted through tools such as meditation, channeling, or guided reading. They are a means of consulting specific aspects of the soul, but they do not encompass the totality of the akashic field.
The Akasha in Different Traditions and Philosophies
The concept of Akasha has been present in many worldviews throughout time, though under different names and approaches. It has been interpreted as a subtle element, a unifying field, or a universal memory. Despite cultural differences, all agree that there is a non-visible dimension that sustains, records, and connects all that exists.

Akasha in Hinduism and Buddhism
In Hinduism, Akasha is one of the five great elements and is considered the first of all—the space that allows the existence of the others. It is associated with sound and vibration, and is seen as the medium through which the universe manifests. In Vedic texts, Akasha is not only the material basis of the cosmos but also the container of all consciousness.
In Buddhism, although the term “Akasha” is not always used, there is a similar notion of primordial space or emptiness. This dimension is not absolute void, but a dynamic matrix that enables the emergence of phenomena. In certain schools, such as Tibetan Buddhism, it is taught that accessing this space allows one to perceive the interconnectedness of all things and be liberated from suffering.

The Concept of Ether in the West
In Western philosophical tradition, especially in ancient Greece, ether was considered the fifth element that filled the space between celestial bodies. Aristotle described it as a pure, incorruptible substance, different from the four classical elements. For centuries, ether was thought to be the medium through which light and energy traveled across the cosmos.
With the rise of modern science, this idea was discarded in physical theory, but it remained in various esoteric and philosophical traditions. In alchemy and in some hermetic schools, ether was upheld as the bridge between the material and the spiritual. In this context, it was given symbolic and energetic significance very similar to that of Akasha in the East.

Modern Perspective on the Akashic Field
From a contemporary point of view, some researchers and authors have related the Akasha to the concept of a unified field or quantum field. They propose the existence of an energetic matrix that connects all information in the universe, similar to what quantum physics describes as the zero-point field. This interpretation does not seek to replace spiritual views but to offer a modern language to understand the subtle.
Authors like Ervin Laszlo have developed the notion of the “Akashic field” to explain how information is preserved beyond time and space. In this model, Akasha functions as a network of cosmic memory that influences the evolution of the universe. This perspective integrates science, spirituality, and philosophy, and opens new ways to understand consciousness and the soul’s purpose.
What Does It Mean to Read the Akasha and What Can It Reveal?
Reading the Akasha means accessing the information that the soul has recorded throughout its existence. This reading allows you to uncover past life experiences, the lessons the soul has integrated, and the challenges that are still active. It is a way of viewing the soul’s journey from a broader and deeper perspective.
Many times, current blockages or conflicts originate from unresolved karmic patterns. By observing them from the akashic field, it becomes possible to understand their origin, release the emotional burden, and transform the present. One can also recognize soul contracts, repetitive bonds, and forgotten talents that are ready to be reactivated.
In addition, Akashic reading can offer clarity about the purpose of life. By connecting with that information, people gain a more coherent vision of who they are, what they came to experience, and how they can align with their evolutionary path. It is not about divination, but rather deep self-knowledge through consciousness.
How to Access the Akasha? Spiritual Connection Methods
There are various ways to connect with the Akasha, although all require a state of expanded consciousness. Deep meditation, clear intention, and energy work are some of the most common methods. Many people also access it through lucid dreams, contemplative states, or intense moments of introspection.
Some spiritual schools teach specific techniques for conducting Akashic readings, such as opening prayers, guided visualizations, or connection rituals. These tools do not guarantee automatic results, but they help focus attention and tune into the field of information. The key lies in inner readiness and conscious practice.
There are also trained Akashic readers who can facilitate the process for those seeking guidance. However, the Akasha is not exclusive to a few: it is available to all who wish to connect with their deepest truth.
The Akasha as a Mirror of the Soul and a Guide for Personal Evolution
The Akasha does not deliver external answers, but rather clearly reflects what is already within the soul. It functions as a deep mirror that reveals the motivations, wounds, gifts, and challenges that shape each person’s path. What it reveals is not separate from the seeker; it is part of their essence.
This field does not impose a destiny but shows possibilities. Through it, it is possible to make more conscious decisions, release old patterns, and embrace a life of greater meaning. The Akasha guides, but does not direct; it offers orientation from the soul’s wisdom, without judgment or imposition.
Using the Akasha as a guide involves an attitude of responsibility and openness. It is not just about receiving information, but about integrating it, acting upon it, and growing through it. In that process, every human being has the opportunity to become their own teacher and to live in greater alignment with their purpose.
