A while ago I visited a free meeting organized by Roy Martina. I was invited by a friend of mine and I agreed to come along since I like people who explore the realms of the unknown. I enjoyed the day and it inspired me to write this blog-entry.

WHAT ARE ETHERIC CORDS?
In 2005 I gathered some SSoA-quotes on etheric cords. As those who are familiar with the SSoA know the concept of cords, and especially the removing of them is an important one. The basic idea is that people often have numerous (etheric) cords plugged into their etheric body. Through these cords people would exchange things like information, karma and energy.

If you would like to raise your awareness it would be a good idea to spend some time on the cutting through of these energetic cords of attachment. The less cords you have the more independent you would become. You would have less chance of people (unconciously) draining energy from your body, making you feel tired. You would not so easily 'feel along' with those you are connected with. Of course you could notice that you are the one that drains energy from others, which could make you end up feeling more tired after you have delinked yourself from others.

The end goal is to become more sovereign in your energy flow. You would become more able to run your own energy, independent of others. If you google on the cutting through of etheric cords you can find all kinds of schools/therapies that can help you with it. I prefer to think that everyone can do it themselves by mere intent (and probably a few times).

ARE THERE GOOD AND BAD ETHERIC CORDS OF ATTACHMENT?
Roy Martina and others make a distinction between 'good' and 'bad' etheric cords. Or to put it differently there would be harmless and harmful cords of attachments between people.

As a former student of the SSoA I was surprised to hear about this distinction. I was taught to believe that fundamentally EVERY energetic attachment between people was undesirable. I still think this makes a lot of sense. Why would you want any constant energetic cords between your own system and others? I think that when Buddha spoke about Detachment he meant complete detachment and not partial detachment.

On the other hand there is something to be said about the idea of harmless connections between people. Think about parents and their children, partners in love for example.

Perhaps I am still suffering from the SSoA-Brainwash, but I can't help but distrust continuous attachments with others. I tend to think that very few people are harmless to the core. Although people can appear very friendly and nice, there is always the possibility that some unconscious harmfulness is going on.

Would I then propose to disconnect from everyone you love and hold dear? Although this is a thought that you can find within the SSoA-realms for the reasons mentioned above, I think this approach is unnecessary. I would like to propose another way of dealing with harmful etheric cords.

THE CONCEPT OF TEMPORARY ENERGETIC CORDS
You can get the best of both worlds by intending to eventually cut through the continuous cords with everybody you know and have known (including the deceased) and then you develop a new skill: the creation of temporary cords. This simply means that when you are with other people you decide if you want to open up to them and then you plug into each other for as long as you are together in that situation.

As soon as you leave each other you consciously disconnect or unplug and go about your business again, completely sovereign and independent. When you meet other people you reconnect and exchange energy again. When you are with your beloved you can open and exchange love. When you part you disconnect only to reconnect again when you are either physically together or when you think about each other.

Don't you agree that these flexible kind of cords are the best kind of cords?!
