Guise,

I believe the disk is real and the we all belong to it. I think there is only ONE in the great scheme of things and I think it has more to do with our lives of earth than it does with some outer afterlife thing. Mine belong and we are setting sail for new worlds as only our disk can allow us to do. I'm not hostile toward the idea...not at all.

I do recall him mentioning something along these lines.  However, he also describes how he has discovered that the silver chord is actually made of many tiny filaments which stem from each chakra and twist together right outside of the etheric body.  So who knows.  I personally have never witnessed a chord of any kind, but then again, I haven't looked for one either, and maybe that's just it.  If one expects to see one, it will manifest.  I believe the silver chord is probably a creation of one's subconscious mind.

I think everyone interested in astral projection should read Astral Dynamics.  It's not exactly the Holy Grail of OBEs, but it's the closest thing to it that I've come across so far.  Robert Bruce may be the most knowledgeable person on the subject that I know of.
