Are ADCs Real?
Of course there are numerous critics of after-death communication (ADC) experiences. Many atheists, agnostics, and skeptics insist, “They can’t be true, so they aren’t!” They even refuse to examine the evidence. They assert ADCs are merely “grief-induced hallucinations” based upon wish fulfillment, imagination, magical thinking, fantasies, memories, denial, and emotional needs. Some conservative religious leaders preach that ADCs are satanic or demonic and conflict with the teachings of their faith.
Hello From Heaven! contains six categories which provide persuasive evidence that ADC experiences are authentic contacts by deceased loved ones:
Timing Is Everything: ADCs Before the News
Numerous experiencers report having an ADC before they learned of their loved one’s sudden and unexpected death. Therefore they would not have been grieving the loss of their relative or friend. Frequently the time of the transition and the time of the ADC are exactly the same.
Expect the Unexpected: ADCs Years Later
Some people have an ADC experience 5, 10, 20, 30, or more years after the death of their loved one. Presumably they would not be actively grieving the death of their relative or friend that many years later. In addition, the longer they happen after the transition, the more important the message typically is.
Validation: Evidential ADCs
Many ADC experiences are “evidential” because they provide specific information the experiencers did not know – and could not have known – before their ADCs occurred. For example, they may be told the location of something of emotional or financial value that is lost, which they are looking for, but aren’t able to find. In other cases, important items are revealed to them, ones they don’t even know exist.
Special Delivery: ADCs for Protection
In many cases a person’s life and property are literally protected or saved because of information they are given during their ADC. Coauthor, Bill Guggenheim, was advised by his deceased father to “Go outside and check the swimming pool,” and when he did, he rescued his 21-month-old son, Jon, who was drowning.
This category includes people who received protection from potential automobile and aircraft accidents, medical emergencies, criminal activities, industrial accidents, a building fire, and undiagnosed health problems of children and adults. These accounts provide very compelling evidence that our deceased loved ones are indeed watching over us and can and do intervene when they are able to do so.
If you are ever told to “Slow down,” “Stop your car,” “Drive a different route,” or “Check your car” by a loved one who has died, do so immediately – and you will very likely avert a serious accident – or worse. This is equally true if you are ever alerted to call or check on somebody. Do it immediately, day or night, regardless of the hour involved. You may literally save their life!
Saving Grace: ADCs for Suicide Intervention
This category includes firsthand accounts of people who were planning to take their own life, and two of them were actually in the process of doing so. Because a deceased loved one came to them at just the right moment, they changed their mind – and they were still alive and able to be interviewed years later. It’s interesting to note that 60% of those who came back to help someone with suicidal feelings had died from taking their own life.
Confirmation: ADCs with a Witness
Occasionally two or more people are together at the same place and time when they share having an ADC – and they usually learn of this when they speak to each other later on, about what they felt, heard, and saw. These ADCs attest to the validity and credibility of after-death communication. And they confirm that ADCs are objective experiences and not merely subjective ones.
