your higher self and the silver cord
    #14718928 - 07/05/11 05:31 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Does anybody have any good solid info about the silver cord (the cord that supposedly connects ones astral body to the physical one, also known as the rainbow bridge), or one's monad/higher self?

any reading material online you can link me to?

Have you personally had an experience where you have seen your silver cord or have come into contact or made a strong contact with your higher self?

Here is an interesting article on the monad that I have recently come across:

http://www.wisdomsdoor.com/rc4/hrc4-07.shtml

"Your Monad is you EONS from now, when you have evolved past being human, past being eternal, past being omnipotent. Your Monad is one shade away from God and is one aspect of God that makes you, your spirit, your higher-self, and your Soul uniquely you. Your Monad's relationship with you is one of deep love and devotion. A love and devotion of the kind that can not be comprehended while being human. Your Monad's love is like a Father's love: that strong, protective, ever-forwardly moving force toward a journey's end."

I've never experienced the silver cord. I think you only see it if you believe or expect to see it. It's like how people project to the real time zone and others bypass this to alien environments - Maybe some of us have to to play by our expectations first.

Further, I don't believe the silver cord has anything to do with the higher self. For most people it acts as a metaphor for the connection we have to the physical body when in the non-physical.

As far as the higher self goes, I think the best connection we have is record and analyzing our nightly dreams.

Somewhere in this interview they talk about the silver cord. I forget where, but it's a solid interview nonetheless: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14246828

In the interview that c0sm0 posted, they talk about the silver cord. They basically say that the Silver Cord doesn't actually exist, but it's our interpretation of the data that we are connected to our bodies. If the silver cord is seen, then that's cool, but saying that the reality of it is that we are attached to our bodies by a silver cord is limiting. That's just one interpretation of data that says we are connected to our bodies. What's important is the data: we are connected to our bodies. :smile:

Surely the best connection must be the fact that you are that :shrug:

I think dream analysis could be good to see through how delusional identity is tho, the way you can live for such a long time in a dream then wake up & it was only the last 15 minutes of using the snooze button

I think there are numerous paths to come to that realization. I should have said the best for me. :cool:

I had a  singular, profound astral projection around 1972. I experienced the return of consciousness to the physical by a backwards rapid movement which ended in a rush in the solar plexus and a jack-knifing of my physical body (Sthula Sarira) on the bed. So, the astral umbilical was felt, but not seen. I would add that the so-called astral body or sheath (Sukshma Sarira) is one of several 'bodies' or sheaths that comprise our selves, and the Astral body is NOT the higher self. The astral body is a finer density of form that is capable of 'containing' and moving our limited consciousness in space-time. It still has a strong sense of embodiment, and visual directionality, as a body with eyes would. It too dies. The next order is the Causal Body (Karana Sarira), and the ahamkara, or ego dissolves at this level of experience. This field of formless consciousness, existing AS pure identity is not conditioned by one's individual identity. It is sometimes spoken of as omniscience because consciousness is not bound up with form as a body with orientation in space-time. 'I AM' exists as the intuition of Existence, but one's name, memories, embodied feelings, emotions, sensations are replaced by bliss. It is self-effulgent, meaning, radiance itself. Beyond the Causal Plane, in Vedanta and Western Theosophy (which is derivative of Vedanta) is the Atman, which is described by those who have attained to Sat-Chit-Ananda as Existence [Being]-Knowledge-Bliss. If anything is the Higher Self, it is this. It is the Logos in Christianity, the Clear Light or Rigpa in Buddhism. Buddhism's anatta (no Atman) doctrine really differentiates the Hindu confusion of the Jivatman (ego) which became thought of as being an eternal or immortal monad. Only the Atman itself is eternal, and that is not a part of a person. We belong to It, and it is Void of personal identity. It is Empty of form. Buddha reformulated to dispel the misunderstanding. Atman = Sunyata. This is the Higher Self. This is called the Holy Guardian Angel in Abramelin magick, Crowley, Qabalism.

In the West, the occult notion of astral projection derives from Yoga philosophy. It found its way into turn-of-the-century Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Thelema, and other schools of thought. In the movie 'Ghost,' the lower and higher' astral (or Subtle) plane was illustrated by the evil and good people who experienced themselves as ghosts after death. The evil ones were dragged into astral Hell by astral demons, who came as moaning dark 'shades' from the underworld of the sewers, in the still visible physical world. Not until the end of the film when protagonist Patrick Swayze has completed what he needed to finish ('grateful dead') that he moved into the white light of the Causal Plane. Someone did their occult homework on that film.

No, Astral. The "low subtle plane."

I think your question begs a prior question, of causality. It's like asking, 'If you dream that you're dying, does that mean you'll die?" To my question, the answer is that if you are physically dying, it may well manifest to your dream ego, and you'll become aware of dying in your dream. But that is different than saying that dreaming about dying will cause physical death. I've been shot, and I've fallen off cliffs, even to crash and wake up with a pain in my hip (kinda like Neo in The Matrix films - banged up but not spattered.

OOBEs can be part of NDEs, but in Near Death Experiences, one returns to physical life and one is able to report on it. If one actually died during an OOBE, then consciousness would not be able to reintegrate with the physical, and the body will die. Allegedly, life on the Astral Planes is limited as well. That movie Ghost illustrated evil people being dragged into the sewers of the physical plane, but ostensibly, the moaning shades who did the dragging were demons or denizens of the low astral. The protagonist gets to enter the white light of a heavenly sort at the end of the film. I suppose, hierarchically speaking, that would be the Causal Plane, the beginning of formless realms of being. In occult systems, there are these hierarchies of celestial and infernal beings, with elementals, animals, and humans somewhere between. Apparently though, according to people like Robert Monroe, time is of another order inasmuch as Astral Plane reality, is not Physical Plane reality, and so gravitation is lessened (hence flying and feather-weight driving and flying vehicles in dreams) and whatever other laws that pertain to space-time are different.

I have experienced only one, fairly brief Astral Projection, so I am not an expert on the flora and fauna of these realms as Monroe seems to be (if he is genuine that is).
