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?

In 2015, a séance was held in Forry’s former home, affectionately known as the “Ackermansion,” where Forry was a huge collector of Science Fiction memorabilia and essentially ran an informal museum of sorts when he lived there. Forrest Ackerman invented the term “Sci-fi” and was the founder and editor of the famous film genre magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, which was a huge favorite with teenagers in the late fifties and sixties. Steven Spielberg is counted among those who thought Forry was “pretty great.” He inspired an entire generation of famous filmmakers, authors, and special effects wizards. In that séance, it was asked what he (Forry) and other spirits were doing with their time. From the book, “What big project are they working on? Well, one must expend much energy to communicate with us (us incarnate humans that is), or to try to make their presence known, although the interest in communicating with us is substantial. So they, on the other side, are actively doing research, looking for ways to make communication between us and them easier and more efficient.” Were all the spirits attending that séance, including Forry Ackerman, still in limbo? For if they were in the light, they would know the rules of engagement, and that direct communication between spirits and humans was something strictly limited as it interferes with free will, and especially the free will of doubters to embrace their disbelief without overwhelming proof forcing the removal of all skepticism. What can Creator tell us?

In the book, An Atheist in Heaven, Paul Davids writes about interviewing “arch skeptic” Dr. Michael Shermer, executive director of The Skeptics Society, and founding publisher of Skeptic magazine. Dr. Gary Schwartz, in the same book, characterized Dr. Shermer as a “Type II skeptic.” He writes, “Sadly, there are individuals who claim to be ‘skeptics’ who are not open minded. They do not engage in careful questioning. They are not discerning in their evaluation of evidence. Though they may claim – often insistently – that they are undecided and seek the truth, in practice they are disbelievers or ‘unbelievers.’ They hold strong beliefs about what must be impossible. Furthermore, they often engage in irresponsible and unjustified evaluation of theories, methods, findings, and conclusions which challenge their convictions about what is possible in nature and the cosmos. This is pseudo-skepticism. I call this ‘Type II Skepticism.'” During his interview with Paul Davids, Dr. Michael Shermer certainly came off as a “Type II Skeptic.” However, later in the book, and just before it was published, Dr. Shermer ended up having his own very “mysterious” experience that he confessed “shook his skepticism.” He was getting married and his bride had an old transistor radio that belonged to her deceased grandfather that hadn’t worked in decades. New batteries didn’t help – the radio was dead. On their wedding day, his bride said she wanted to say something to him alone, so they went to the back of the house where they heard music playing in the bedroom. They opened a drawer and found her grandfather’s radio playing a romantic love song. Other family members reported the music started playing just as the wedding was to begin. The next day, the radio went silent and never worked again. Dr. Shermer’s bride was reportedly a skeptic as well, so how could this happen within the rules of engagement, especially since we know the divine realm will go to great lengths to protect the beliefs of skeptics? So much so that just the presence of James Randi, for example, could literally temporarily disable the intuitive abilities of those around him? What can Creator tell us about this radio at the wedding event and how it all fits within the rules of engagement? Was the bride’s grandfather still in limbo?

Dr. Gary Schwarz reported in the book, An Atheist in Heaven, that even after decades of research and seven books he wrote on the topic, he still struggled believing it all! He wrote, “In my case, being a well-trained skeptical thinker and well-educated disbeliever in the possibility of an afterlife, I had this strong, uncontrollable emotional reactive habit of automatically assuming that anyone who believed in life after death was naive, ignorant, stupid, brainwashed, prejudiced, delusional and/or crazy. This emotional reaction was clearly inconsistent with the emerging theory … and research. I experienced increasing conflict between what the emerging theory and research were teaching me versus my growing fear that if I accepted the theory and research, that maybe I was becoming ‘brainwashed’ by the theory and evidence, and I was even ‘losing my mind.’ I came to realize that I was like one of Pavlov’s classically conditioned dogs who automatically salivated to the sound of a bell. Dogs do not automatically salivate when they hear a bell ringing, and neither do we.” This confession by Dr. Schwartz is both revealing and disturbing. How could it possibly be that decades of research and validation could not successfully alter his emotions? How could he still harbor fear? Is all Type II Skepticism ultimately a FEAR reaction? Was the origin of Dr. Schwartz’s inexplicable emotions, even after decades, wholly originating with his deep subconscious? If so, it certainly reinforces Creator’s assertions that there is little short of divine intervention, via the Lightworker Healing Protocol and Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, that we can do to alter beliefs in the deep subconscious. What can Creator tell us about Dr. Schwartz’s struggle, and what lessons can we draw from it?
