Are the energetic cordings to people, places, and things removed by healers actually a metaphor describing quantum entanglement, or are cordings just one mechanistic aspect of quantum entanglement? What are cordings exactly?

As you saw intuitively, cordings are a metaphoric description to describe quantum entanglement and its essence. This fits quite nicely in an understandable image for people who would otherwise have difficulty visualizing how people at a distance, even through time and through differing lifetimes, might still be connected to one another. There is no natural mechanism or energy to explain this other than quantum entanglement. And so your understanding here and the insight is very keen and quite accurate that the quantum entanglement is, in fact, the explanation. Turning this around, we would point out to you that quantum entanglement is real and involves an energy. The depiction of this as a cording from that vantage point takes on greater significance than a mere metaphor, because there is an energy that is not “spooky action at a distance” but an actual real, and physical, entity. This is the energy of the quantum field that becomes ordered to an extent, and carrying an interconnection. So this is much like having spools of thread available, and then someone coming and weaving a tapestry. The weavings in the tapestry have meaning and they do connect one part of a design to another, which is perceptible and interpretable by a witness. And they do, in fact, have a physical interdependence, for if one end of the design unravels, it may eventually reach the other end of the design and unravel it as well. In the tapestry of energy within the zero point field or the quantum field, the interaction among the players that emanate consciousness and are impinged on by consciousness create a tapestry that is quite analogous. It is an energy and the ordering of energy that creates the linkages, and these in fact are real and are a physical entity. They are beyond your visibility, but they do exist, and the fact they can reach great distances and have a reach across time is because things are not as large as they seem. So this is a paradox for another time, but we do wish to encourage you in knowing that you are spot on with your interpretation of things.
