Such persons may be suitable for experiments that might demonstrate a paranormal process.Īlthough many of these experiences do not suggest any paranormal process, two features that sometimes occur do suggest such a process. A small number of persons claim to be able to have an out-of-the-body experience voluntarily. The experience of being out of the body is a type of altered state of consciousness. This experience occurs in more than 65% of persons who come close to death and survive. Some persons having this experience report that from a position above their body they could look down on it and observe its condition. One survey showed that 15% of those questioned have had such an experience at least once during their lifetime. Many persons have the experience of seeming to be located in space away from their physical body. There is much to be studied in this area such as: the types of people who experience ADCs under what range of circumstances do ADCs happen what if any veridical elements are revealed in the ADC what are the short term and long term effects on a person’s grieving process after experiencing an ADC and much more. It does not always lead to a long-time pattern of ADC’s. Sometimes there are just a few ADCs, or at other times, there is just a single ADC event experienced after a death. ADC events often involve everyday people who do not have a history of mediumistic abilities or special skills of any kind. Sometimes an ADC yields information not previously known to the living recipient. Some people report significant ADCs even after many years past the death of their loved ones. ADCs can happen in the wake of a recent death, or can happen after the initial intense 1-2 year initial grieving phase has subsided. When people experience these ADC events associate with deceased friends and loved ones, and sometimes people unknown to them, often the ADC’s are a great source of comfort, healing, and peaceful resolve. We refer to these experiences as After Death Communications (ADCs). Sometimes people experiencing these events are in altered states via meditation, hypnogogic states before sleep or upon waking, and sometimes they are in their everyday state of consciousness. People sometimes report experiencing a transient event in which they receive messages from deceased loved ones in the form of a wide variety of perceived experiences such as memorable and unusual dreams, significant sounds, special smells, particular symbols, or other significant and personal imagery connected to the deceased.
