The Silver Cord

FILE DATE 1929

CROSS-REFS 01

STATUS NEVER CLOSED

SUMMARY

The tether travelers report. Cut, the manuals warn, only once.

FULL DOSSIER

The silver cord — the tether between traveling and physical bodies — is sourced to Ecclesiastes 12:6 ('or ever the silver cord be loosed') and elaborated in Theosophical and projection literature (Muldoon & Carrington's 1929 'The Projection of the Astral Body' gave the standard description). Surveys of OBE reports (documented in parapsychology literature) find cord perception in only a minority of cases, suggesting doctrinal expectation shapes it. The node documents the motif's scriptural seed and its uneven experimental footprint.
