Subject:	Induced ADCs- Are They Genuine?

Hi Friends, I've been thinking about this question after having read Steve D.'s post down below entitled "A Helpful Procedure You May Find Interesting". Steve speaks of a method that may help in attracting more ADCs.

At first I thought this would be great and I welcome learning more about the process in an on-board discussion so everyone may benefit.

Then I thought of it and wondered if the ADCs would be genuine if we somehow contributed to their appearance. I am always hopeful of receiving communication from my Dear Dad and at first would pray constantly for a sign that he was "ok". That sign came as did many more and the more messages that came, the more I wanted because it felt as if I was able to more tangibly continue the relationship with my Dad.

Lately, though, I have been easing up on those prayer requests, letting my Dad know that I am always happy to "hear" from him when he is able to send a message. The result has been continued communication without the constant longing for it on my part and without the disappointment when there are lulls in the communication and the subsequent doubt that sometimes follows a quiet period.

I started likening the inducement of ADCs to the self-help books that speak about rules of living, rules to find a mate, etc. I've always felt that a meaningful life and a meaningful relationship can't be found in a book, but must be lived and one must be open to the possibilities and patient.

Perhaps that is the same with ADCs? As much as we hope for more communication, it seems to come when it is most beneficial to everyone involved. I'll never forget the first dream I had of my Dad, two weeks after he passed (I had been constantly praying for some sort of message). I was in a home I lived in about 15 years ago, it was evening and the door was wide open. I was with my mom and asked her why she left the door open in the evening- she normally locks everything.

Just then my Dad (looking about 15 years younger) was walking up the sidewalk with another man who had grey hair and a mustache (I think this was his father). He came in the door and I hugged him and kissed him and asked him all sorts of questions- namely, "Why haven't you contacted us- I've been praying every day?", and "Are you ok?"

He responded that he was ok, but that he couldn't contact us yet because my mother wasn't ready to see him. She took his death quite hard and my interpretation was that my Dad had to give her a healing time so that when he did make contact, she wouldn't want to abandon her life here to be with him.

He also said "I can't always come when I want to". It was as if he were saying that these messages come when the time is right, not when either we or they want to communicate. This makes perfect sense, there is a greater power than all of us, so although we anxiously await those moments, they will not come to us when they may cause us undo harm.

After thinking more about this dream I looked at the "open door" as a symbol of openness of mind and heart and that if we remain hopeful, have faith in our relationships and the bonds of our love, eventually when the time is right, our loved ones will make contact.

After coming to this conclusion, I don't do anything special to receive ADCs. I pray for my Dad daily; I think of him often; I speak to him in my heart about my day; and I leave the door open always for him to come in when the time is right. I feel that by just remaining open and accepting both the quiet times and those that hold wonderful messages makes my communication with my Dad genuine, natural, and not forced. I have learned as much in silence as I have in moments of voiced sentiment and I am learning to accept and embrace the silence that exists sometimes.

Brightest Blessings,
