The energy flows both ways, from you and towards you.

It is an immediate exchange.

In physics, two objects are said to be coupled when they are interacting with each other.

In classical mechanics, coupling is a connection between two oscillating systems, such as pendulums connected by a spring. The connection affects the oscillatory pattern of both objects.

In particle physics, two particles are coupled if they are connected by one of the four fundamental forces (up, down, left, right). When one particle’s alignment is changed, its companion changes its own position and vice- versa.

In G.K. Chesterton’s novel ‘The Innocence of Father Brown’, (which was later quoted in Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh) Father Brown says: ‘I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world, and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread.’

Once again, Chesterton is referring to aka cords. The aka cord is the substance by which Karma is possible. It extends across both time and space collapsing both into a single moment experienced within the present.

Cutting aka cords is the business of Ho’oponopono because the attachments made using them aren’t variables, according to Bell's theorem (1964). Therefore, quantum phenomena are inherently non-local, although non- local hidden variable theories could be considered alternatives to quantum theory. Virtually every activity you make (be it a visit to the supermarket, or a drive in the countryside) brings forth the potential for a new cord.

Collectors are especially susceptible to their power, and to a lesser extent so are antiquarians and those who visit museums.

Some Ancient Egyptian tombs bear curses claiming that anyone who disturbs the tomb would be killed by a crocodile, lion, or snake. Curses like these were sometimes used to deter tomb robbers from stealing the treasure buried within the tombs.

As a result of the warnings, folk-law has developed suggesting that modern archaeologists have perished as a result of opening graves. There’s little evidence that supports this theory yet the fact that it is believed by many suggests that we are born with belief in the power of such connections.

Western occultists sometimes enter what they refer to as ‘Inner Planes’ in order to conduct ceremonies which cut Aka cords. The traditional tools for doing so are the occultist’s knife or a burning torch.

In practice, such work should only be attempted with others who are properly trained yet all may safely attempt a traditional Ho’oponopono cleaning ceremony without ill effects.

An esoteric cosmology plane corresponds to a type, kind, or category of being. Each plane represents a subtle state, level, or region of reality. Religions and esoteric teachings refer to this idea, for example: Vedanta (Advaita Vedanta), Ayyavazhi, shamanism, Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Kashmir Shaivism, Sant Mat/Surat Shabd Yoga, Sufism, Druze, Kabbala, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Rosicrucianism (Esoteric Christian), Eckankar, Ascended Master Teachings, etc. All of these suggest that there are multiple subtle worlds or dimensions interpenetrating each other and the planet on which we live, the solar systems, and all the physical structures the universe possesses. As planes interpenetrate through a succession of steadily denser stages, the universe appears as a physical expression of structure, dynamics, and evolution.

Be very careful. Dr. Hew Len suggests we focus our attention elsewhere.

In the following chapter, we study a range of emotions as a hierarchy (popularised by David Hawkins M.D.)

Some of Dr. Hawkins’s assertions were challenged, both during his lifetime and since. These, in no way invalidate the scale of emotions, which he tabulated.
