A viewer writes: “I was coming down the front steps from my apartment on a Sunday morning sometime in March, forgetting that the night before we’d had a freezing rain warning. I breezed down like everything was normal, but in fact there was a thin layer of ice on at least one of the spots just before I reached the bottom and suddenly my legs flew out from under me. I seemed to elevate and then come straight down, striking the corner of one of the steps with what I thought was my entire body weight, on my left back around the pelvis, above the top of the glutes around the left kidney. As I recall, I immediately prayed for the healing help of Creator and painfully rolled onto all fours, with nobody around (the street was actually closed for a foot race but again no one around) and wondering if I was dying. The impact was so brutal I wondered about internal bleeding, but although I was stunned from everything, I slowly realized that I was possibly just bruised and winded and lifted myself up and managed to mount the stairs to the main floor and then to my second-floor apartment. I was still not sure that I was not in dire trouble but I didn’t feel faint so I didn’t call for help (I live alone except for my dogs and the tenants in my building) and played it minute by minute. I iced the injured area and rested all day, and the next day went to see my chiropractor. He said three vertebrae were displaced and he put them back. He also speculated that perhaps I had a bruised kidney and suggested x-rays. I arranged for that over the coming days but everything was fine. Considering the force of the impact I really feel that I had a divine save on this one. Might be interesting to check on it with Creator. Were angels somehow involved in helping me that day? I realized during the evening of the day this happened I must have tried to break the fall with my left hand and had a sore wrist. I think that’s the only ongoing issue now and it’s very minimal. Thank God for all the help!” Was there divine help involved? What can Creator tell us?

A viewer sent a testimonial: “WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM: I needed to find a reliable person to replace a long-term tenant. WHAT CHANGED: Many people expressed interest, but one applicant, we’ll call Rafael, stood out to my rental agent and then to me for his heartbreaking story and warm attitude. He had suffered two deaths in his immediate family over the past year, his wife from cancer and his 19-year-old son in a car accident. Despite all of that, compassion and love oozed from him. I could see that God was firmly in his situation. Everything else checked out, so the agent and I agreed to interview him and immediately agreed to sign him to a lease. SEVERAL SYNCHRONICITIES ENSUED: First, in reviewing details after the lease signing, I learned that Rafael had a second last name, common in Hispanic circles, that he had not used on the lease. Why is that important? The last name rhymed with the original tenant’s last name, my late brother-in-law [name withheld] who passed on 2022, and with my dog’s name [name withheld]. For those who look for signs, this was practically “written in the sky with letters 1,000 feet high” (from the 60s movie and title song, To Sir with Love). Then, I mentioned to Rafael that I would be replacing the kitchen stove because the ceramic top was badly cracked. The agent had advised to replace it sooner, but I had waited in case the new tenant had his or her own. To my surprise, not only did Rafael need to bring his own stove, but it was a perfect match for the black-and-white themed kitchen. In addition to that, Rafael also has a small dog and I asked hopefully during the lease signing if he had a cat, but he said no. I said that’s fine, but was secretly disappointed because, although we had recently resolved an ongoing mouse issue by paying a professional to systematically seal the entire building envelope, cats can also be very helpful but none of us had one. Then, about day three after he moved in, my dogs noticed a cat in his bedroom window—a welcome surprise! Rafael said he had her in his prior place but had given her to his sister-in-law, trying to be prudent about bringing in two animals as a newcomer. But his dog and the cat were very bonded and she cried for her doggy friend when Rafael left her behind initially, but now knowing my preference, he brought her over. In addition to those synchronicities, notwithstanding a difference in skin color, Rafael bears a strong physical resemblance to my late, beloved brother-in-law in terms of stature and build. Finally, his lease began on my hoped-for date without any break in the rent schedule, so that’s very helpful and as we have gotten more acquainted, I can see he’s a very solid character. Friends helped him move and he quickly but patiently got everything nicely set up down there, surrounded by family photos and love letters from his late wife, and his remaining family network and friends have been by his side throughout the transition. WHAT I WOULD TELL OTHERS: Never be afraid to invite Creator into your problem-solving scenarios, as wonderful answers can appear in many meaningful ways.” Was the divine realm involved in helping to bring the new tenant his way, especially one whose circumstances provided such meaningful synchronicities?

Is there such an entity as “The Holy Spirit?” Or is it, in fact, more of a literary construct that loosely summarizes a large assortment of divine activities and agencies that would otherwise require much more explanation and discernment? Is the term “Holy Spirit” really a shorthand label for activities more accurately attributed to the higher selves, guides, and guardians of each and every individual rather than some mysterious and nebulous and nameless “Holy Spirit?” We know the connection between incarnated souls and their higher selves is compromised, but can such connections be healed and restored so long as there is sufficient human intention acquired from prayer? In this case, the intention would come not from each individual alone but from a vast pool of intention from millennia of individuals praying for divine intervention and deliverance. It’s not God’s will that brought all this about, but human will, and God and the divine realm were responding to that beseechment in a highly calculated and intentional way which, while miraculous in contrast to most living in that time, still fit within the Divine Rules of Engagement as it allowed skeptics to disbelieve. It should also be noted that most of the recipients of this so-called “gift” encountered great difficulty pursuing their missions, and while successful overall, often paid for it with unspeakably cruel punishments and death sentences. Many made every bit as much of a sacrifice and experienced every bit as much pain and hardship as Christ himself did. What is Creator’s perspective?

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?
