a year and a half ago i had a dream about a friend of mine that died. i just found out he died on the day of the dream

I lost my doughter in 2007. She was 19 and the youngest of 7. My life has never been the same. My husband committed susicide in 2000 and then my father in 2001 then my Sarah in 2007. Sometimes I feel no light at the end. I wish for strenght but there is none. Just rmember God as a plan which he has not shone me yet,time will tell. Love to you both and I wish I could be as strong.

I think that this is a great place for people with unique and genuine ADC's can come share their experiences, so that others may learn and know that they arn't alone. It's a wonderful way for God to ease our pain. I call it a miracle.

It was a joy to meet Bill when he came to present a conference at the ARE/Edgar Cayce Foundation. I was so looking forward to meeting him ever since I'd read 'Hello from Heaven!' It was the FIRST book to introduce the world to ADC - After Death Communication - but most importantly, it helped me in my hospice work, and helping the families deal with grief. I was a bit nervous when I arrived for the conference, because I was also speaking at the conference, "Edgar Cayce's Communications Here and Hereafter." I've studied Cayce since I was 16 - which makes me 432 years old - but when I visited the ARE Library I was astonished. It is the finest metaphysical library in the country - dare I say the world? 70,000+ volumes on any conceivable spiritual-metaphysical subject. My favorite section there is the "Life After Death" section. AMAZING VOLUMES. Bill put a treasure of books in the Bibliography of his book--many hard-to-find titles, that can be found at ARE Library. When I wrote "The Place We Call Home," I did not have to go further than ARE Library. He and I both have a love for the afterlife books published in the late 19th--early 20th century. Finest material ever published on the subject. Long long story short(er) (I'll do my best) - during the break at the conference, I went outside to smoke and this man came up and gave me a list of several books and they were books on the afterlife from 1913-1925...by authors I'd talked about in my lectures. "I can't believe this!" I said. "You're the first person I've ever met who has heard of these authors!" Then I looked at his name tag. "Bill Guggenheim." I'm rarely speechless...I rarely shut up is more like it...but I was speechless. "You're...you're..."I fumbled. "Hi I'm Bill." So funny, kind, down to earth - and we were like two kids talking about our favorite subject. It was like I'd known him for years. And he got an A+ for not mentioning I was smoking! That's very rare at spiritual/metaphysical events... For whatever reason, people are shocked when they see me smoking--like I should be walking on water or something on my break. If smoking shocks you, especially people who speak in the field Bill and I do)...I mean...if THAT shocks you, then no doubt you avoid CNN; you did turn it on, you'd blow up like something in "The Hurt Locker," no doubt. Note: People who speak in the field of metaphysics are HUMAN...if you are intolerant of weaknesses that you don't a) have or b) understand, then do an honest inventory and write down YOUR addictions-habits(chocolate, Desperate Housewives, Tofu, Family Guy, soap operas, alcohol, drugs, ad nauseum)...you'll see those addictions leave less residue...but a vice is a vice. Remember: A prerequisite to entering earth is "To bring light and do the best you can to make the world a better place by being kind under usually challenging situations." I don't remember reading any fine print on the contract that says "Thou Shalt Relinquish Being Human if Thou Art Published and/or Become a Public Speaker." Edgar Cayce said, "That which ye cannot stand in others is what ye MOST SEE, what ye CANNOT cannot bear within thine own self." Think about that. My beloved friend and mentor George Ritchie, MD (author of "Return from Tomorrow") said at a lecture once: "If you want to guarantee yourself a quick return trip to earth in less than favorable circumstances, then judge someone you don't understand...or condemn someone because of their behavior...or color of their skin, or their religion, or sexual orientation. When you do, you've formed a "PRE-JUDGE-MENT" (prejudice); and you've created an opportunity to come back to earth to LIVE IN THE SHOES OF THE THING YOU CONDEMNED, so you will condemn no more." In this, "Karma" doesn't mean punishment, it means "inheritance." Cayce said: "that which ye condemn in others, ye will become..." Jesus said, "Before you try to take the splinter from your brother's eye, remove the BEAM from your own.") He was great with one-liners, wasn't he? Seriously, we're all "works in progress" -- and Bill Guggenheim speaks so eloquently in his book - and in person - about the importance for compassion and being non-judgmental--toward ALL beings--because that compassion uplifts the whole world. I mean, it's easy to love your friends, right? What challenge is there in that? Where's the spiritual growth? Growth comes when we broaden our awareness and realize the spark of God resides in the highest and the lowest; the sacred and the condemned criminal. Because, if we don't TRY to love a little more, and send love to people who appear to deserve it the least, we've forgotten: "Treat others as you would want to be treated...love others as thyself..." Because in the final analysis, WE ARE ALL EACH OTHER. And the things we did in love as well as ignorance, will, as Cayce said, "As chickens, they shall come home to roost." In this life, or the next. What better way for us to be unconditionally loving beings than "to walk a mile in another's shoes." Everyone we meet is an aspect of ourselves, and on the road home--irrespective of their appearance or station in life. "All is One." That has huge implications. When we are unjustly critical to others, we are speaking directly into a mirror. We're judging ourselves. Bill's wonderful book clearly shows that Heaven and Hell are realms that we are building right here, right now, by ourselves alone. Remember the old adage when someone died? They'd say, "She's gone to her Reward?" That reward, after death, my friends, takes on many forms. A woman asked Edgar Cayce in a reading: "Where will I go when I leave this earth?" The sleeping Cayce said, "To that [place] thou art building, to that [place] thou art creating." Dr. Ritchie told me, "I feel I came back from my NDE not just to tell my story, but to try to share that unconditional love with people I meet everyday. It's the TRY, Rob...I falter plenty...but it's in the TRYING that we never fail... I'm so grateful to Bill and to George and the countless people who've written brilliant books that help us in the most illuminating ways. In closing I'll never forget George telling me, "The Light I experienced in my near-death experience LOVED every unloveable thing about me...it was my job to try to BE that to others. It's a work in progress and there's no pass or fail...only many roads, many mansions to the place we call home. Bill taught me to be patient with myself. As Cayce said, "you cannot rush a rose."
