Successful Hollywood Film Producer Paul Davids and Dr. Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona, who has spent much of his career scientifically studying whether human consciousness survives death and if mediumship is authentic, have co-authored a 2016 book entitled An Atheist in Heaven. Paul Davids was good friends with the late Forrest J. Ackerman who is the subject atheist of the book. Forrest was known for saying he did not believe in life after death, but if it turned out he was wrong, he would “drop them a line.” It turns out Forrest (known to his friends as “Forry”) ended up dropping many lines to many people, as the book shares in great detail. One such incident was with a filmmaker from Canada who attended Forry’s memorial service. Afterwards, this filmmaker went to Forry’s crypt and knocked on the marble, saying out loud, “Uncle Forry, hi, it’s us, Michael and Ian, we’ve come to show our movie about you at the tribute for you.” They returned to their hotel room where Mike wanted to update a Facebook blog. This required a CAPTCHA code readable by humans but not computers. To Michael’s astonishment, the code that came up was “Ackerman000.” Michael felt this was a direct response to knocking on Forry’s crypt. A few moments later, Michael’s friend Ian blurted out, “Is he really dead?” The following sentence is verbatim from the book: “At that moment, the second phenomenon occurred, this time from Ian’s computer. A voice blurted out the words, ‘Oh my God, no way!'” Was Forry doing this? Was he in the light at the time, or still in limbo? And how does all this fit within the rules of engagement? What can Creator tell us?

These events did, in fact, take place and were reported accurately, that both messages from beyond happened as experienced by these authors. Both were done by Forrest’s Higher Self from the light and were supported by us energetically to manipulate the electronics needed to create these messages. The rules of engagement limit what communication is possible. Beings in the heavenly realm cannot appear in the physical and lead people by telling them what to do, revealing unknown truths, giving them great assistance in ways that make it a level of certainty that something from the divine realm has acted within the physical plane. That is contravening the proscription on leading, by leaving the responsibility for human affairs in their hands as part of the test underway. You can get help from us and assistance from us, but it will come indirectly, never in a way that shows us to the world on a grand scale to make it unassailable that God is real and would, in fact, be us taking charge, not only stepping forward but intruding in your world to take the reins, make the decisions, and bring about the changes needed for something to happen. To do so in a highly visible way that is unassailable is going against the free will of the skeptics to disbelieve, and that is part of the consequence of the rise of evil in your world. For us to counteract and countermand decisions made by humans, of their own free will to disbelieve, is denying them the privilege we promised for them to be in charge. That is the downside of such freedom. Those who become disconnected from belief will have a much harder time navigating. Those who continue to believe in us have that reassurance as well as knowing they can call on us to work from behind the scenes and even bring about miracles at times. They just can't be overt, they need to be either subtle or indirect in a way that can be explained as some prosaic chance event or mundane influence, perhaps a coincidental alignment of things that just brings about some good fortune that can be ascribed to the luck of the draw, so to speak, so the skeptics can retain their disbelief and the burden remains on all humans to build their faith and stand strong even in the absence of evidence conferring an absolute certainty their beliefs are warranted. We must always leave some room for doubt because most people have some doubts, not to mention the atheists who reject the truth of the divine entirely. So it is easy for us to manipulate electronics. That can be done by many beings, including some discarnate spirits, who are only slightly higher in vibration than physical humans and not within the heavenly realm. So these events are intriguing to many but not so huge and over the top they will convince everyone of their validity, and that is a good illustration of staying within the rules of engagement by offering encouragement but not in a way to override skepticism, and that is why even witnessing such events personally often leaves people wondering whether they really happened for a higher reason.
