Traditionally, the "silver cord" is seen as the line tying us and our life to our physical bodies, and once it is snapped, we leave our bodies since they have physically died. Many have seen this phenomenon in the astral plane (not me, and I have no reason or intention to ever go there.) It is a classical "new age" idea, but is Biblical as well!
Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 (New International Version)
6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
or the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
or the wheel broken at the well,
7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Why are people so scared of New Age terminology and ideas, when they are based on Biblical proof? Granted, some of the New Age philosophy is incorrect and "out there", however, the ancient ideas that the fundamental basis of it is entirely Biblical. Do some research, use your brain, and decide for you!
