From the webmaster
===================================================================

*** The Silver Cord: What is it?
NDErs give a lot of information about the "silver cord" that connects
the physical body with the spirit body. Why do people report differing
areas on the physical body where the cord is connected? Why do
people's spirits leave from different parts of their body? Is there a
connection between all these and the spiritual centers of the body?
Is there a connection with all this and the various levels of the afterlife?
