Hello Don,

Thanks very much for posting the wonderful, inspiring account of your communication with your father. Yes, it is very likely that your father inspired Constance. Children are much more open to inspiration before they become jaded as adults.

Yes, as you wrote, "The signs they send us are so subtle at times, but they do send them." Most people ignore them because they're uncertain about the afterlife. It's more real than this life, and if they were open to it, more people would receive messages.

You have some sensitivity in you, meaning you have the openness that someone has to have to be a medium. Many people have that little bit of sensitivity and have dreams, but ignore them. When you are open to them, they come.

It is important that you share your experiences. One of the reasons people are so ignorant about the afterlife today is that anything having to do with the inner person was demonized by the church and people wouldn't talk about their experiences. Then science told us we're just brains and nothing exists beyond the physical body, and people believed them. That pretty well shut people up about their experiences, and everyone walked around silently holding them inside.

But today that's changing. Mention experiences like yours in a gathering and people will chime in with others. We need to hear each others' experiences so we can come to realize the reality we all know is true and many, like you, have experienced firsthand. And eventually, we'll overcome the ignorance that gives people such fear and grief about death today.

Love and peace, Craig
