About etheric cords to other people: "There is a certain importance put upon certain people in your life. But what we wish to talk to you about is the idea that cords are no longer necessary. That you do not need cords in order for the appropriate people to be in your life at any moment. ... Love, we are not suggesting is a cord. Unconditional love, of yourself, of your world, of other people, universal unconditional love is not a cord, because it has no definition. It is only conditional love, restrictive love, that has such conditions. The people in your life, the people that you love, the people you are vibrationally attracting to you, they are around you because of that natural force, one of the most powerful forces in the universe. You do not need cords to hold anyone to you. You do not need cords to hold any relationship in your life."
