After Death Communications (ADCs) 

 

 

 

 

An After Death Communication (ADC) is defined as a spiritual experience which occurs when you are contacted directly and spontaneously by a deceased family member or friend, without the use of psychics, mediums, rituals, or devices.  Unlike the mediumship experience, there is no "middle-man" involved here.  Because you directly experience the spiritual contact yourself, this form of contact with your loved ones on the other side can have a tremendous healing influence.

This amazing phenomenon has been documented by countless people of all races, religions, and social standing through the ages.  It has been documented that 40% of a surveyed population claim to have experienced some form of after death communication.  As I described in My Story, I (and others) have personally experienced a number of different types of ADCs with my son, Timothy.

ADC experiences can be blatant, subtle, or anything in between these two extremes.  The clarity of an ADC can also depend on not only the sender (the deceased) but also the receiver (you).  If you recently lost a loved one and cannot recall any ADC experiences, it is NOT because your loved has been negligent in trying to let you know that they are OK.  Most likely, your beliefs or state of mind have prevented such communications.  And ADC communications can be very subtle.  Furthermore, the first ADCs may occur many years after the death of your loved one.

There are many types of ADCs, which can be loosely categorized as follows:

  Sentient ADCs -- sensing a presence

  Auditory ADCs -- hearing a voice

  Tactile ADCs -- feeling a touch

  Olfactory ADCs -- smelling a fragrance

  Visual ADCs -- partial and full appearance

  ADC Visions -- slightly different than visual ADCs

  Twilight ADCs -- experiences as you drift off to sleep

  Sleep State ADCs -- experiences in the dream state

  Out-of-body ADCs -- reunions with deceased love ones

  Telephone ADCs -- experiences involving electronic appliances

  Symbolic ADCs -- for example, butterflies, birds, and rainbows

It's difficult to go into any great depth on a complex and emotionally charged topic like ADCs, nor do I wish to attempt to do so on this site.  However, there are many excellent Books and web sites on this topic created by individuals who have dedicated their lives and careers to researching the ADC phenomenon.  I have listed some of these below for your convenience:

"Hello From Heaven", by Bill Guggenheim and Judy Guggenheim The consummate book on after-death communications.  If you need to know something about ADCs, you'll find it in this book.
"Love Beyond Life", by Joel Martin and Patricia Romanowski A different perspective on after-death communications, but every bit is interesting and inspirational as the Guggenheim book.
http://www.after-death.com/ This is the companion web site to the "Hello From Heaven" book.  Updated information, forums, and bereavement support and resources.
http://www.adcrf.org/ Another good ADC site where you can share your ADC experiences.  The primary mission of this site is to collect, document, and share as many ADC experiences as possible.
