In the book Astral Projection by Brad Steiger, we read an account sent to Brad by a woman who was given ether before her surgery. The woman said after hearing a strange noise, she "seemed to be bobbing like a balloon on a string." On page 42 she says this:
"This is the best comparison I can make: I was a shining balloon attached to my body by a silver string. I could see my body below me, and two interns still chattering about their plans for the evening."
The woman recalled seeing radiant beings in some beautiful place she thought was Heaven, and recalled being told that she could stay there for a while, but had to go back. Later she found herself "bobbing near the ceiling of a hospital room," before finally finding herself back in her body.
The "string" referred to may have been the "silver cord" so often reported in out-of-body experiences. The works of Robert Crookall give many examples of people reporting during an out-of-body experience that there was a cord or string or rope-like thing connecting their body and their floating soul or soul-body. On the page here (page 138 of his book What Happens When You Die), Crookall lists more than 30 examples of people reporting such a string or cord or rope-like thing connecting the body and their floating soul or soul-body.
