Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Rich Martini, Luana Anders and Samantha the Dolphin 30:32

約 5 日前30:32

30:32

Another mind bending podcast. Jennifer had one of her "uncorked" events in Manhattan Beach this past week, and one of the attendees wanted to speak to her pet hamster who had passed away. Jennifer recounts doing that as well as talking to a "tree" in their yard that was ill and about to pass away. We've had multiple conversations both with animals, and with trees (look for "General Sherman" on the podcast. But we've also had a conversation with a dolphin before. (Look for "Edgar Cayce, Doris Stokes and a dolphin" on the podcast. In this one, Luana Anders, my pal on the flipside who passed in 1996 brought forth a dolphin who wanted to speak with us. The construct is this - the dolphin isn't "sitting in our interview chair" but she's able to communicate directly with Jennifer. And since we've interviewed animals before, I try to ask the same questions I ask everyone that shows up in the research. In this case, Luana gave her the name "Samantha" (which could have been a play on my dog Sam that I've spoken to in the past, I don't know, that's Luana's sense of humor.) And Samantha said a number of mind bending things... that only 5% of her conscious energy is outside herself, "the higher consciousness" that is addressing us directly. Generally people report we bring between 20 and 40% of our conscious energy to a lifetime, and that when we have brain issues (dementia, etc) we only have around ten percent or less of our conscious energy. If I was hearing this correctly, Samantha was saying "only 5% of her conscious energy is offstage" - because dolphin don't have the same filters we do. In terms of what was heard or learned; the dolphin consider themselves the "sheriffs" of the sea, as well as the librarians collecting data. That they are aware of everything going on in the ocean. I asked a simple question about Samantha's opinion of humans - she pointed out that a human had saved her mother's life in a previous lifetime (as a shark) and that she appreciate that aspect of humanity. I asked a question about empathy - since a certain person in high places said some comment about "empathy holding back civilization" - and the dolphin replied that "empathy is the only thing that moves civilization forward." Empathy to help others, to heal others, to find a cure for cancer, illness, etc. It's a mind bending answer, but it's a mind bending comment for someone to make - who clearly has no clue how consciousness functions or incarnation works. Samantha reiterated that "animals understand how incarnation works but humans do not." There are many things humans don't get - in terms of other dimensions, and Samantha said she and others kept tabs on that - including those stories of "UAP's (UFO's)" that shift in and out of the water. I know all of this is mind bending - and it's a perfect reason to stop watching the podcast. If one is having a hard time comprehending this information, perhaps a good time to look into the data, research from UVA medical school DOPS lab that shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Or to examine the clinical case studies of Dr. Wambach, Dr. Brian Weiss or Michael Newton and the Newton Institute in terms of how people can recall previous lifetimes, or how their own incarnations have worked. Truly one of the most mind bending podcasts we've done - and I'm shocked to say it was only 30 minutes of questions and answers. Hope people take this opportunity to research the topic - because we're touching the tip of the iceberg - literally. We don't understand how animals or plants communicate - but we can learn. And this is a way to ask them questions and get answers.…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Tyler Sanders, Heath Ledger, Marilyn Monroe 35:32

約 11 日前35:32

35:32

Today's podcast got crowded! We started off by talking about Jennifer's recent visit to the Oprah studios where she participated in a discussion about menopause and at some point Oprah made her way to Jennifer and put her around her and said "thank you." She was referring to a session that Jennifer had done with a friend of Oprah's and the kinds of unusual details that Jennifer was able to access to help this friend on her journey. Then I spoke about a dinner in a restaurant recently, where someone named Daniel spoke to someone at our table (more on him if he shows up) but when I asked Luana if Daniel wanted to speak to us, someone else took the speaker's chair. In this case, the late young actor Tyler Sanders. Tyler had written on his arm, "Do More" and he lived that motto. He took his father skydiving, did not pass up any adventure that he might have been on. Much beloved by his family, friends, and although we knew him for a short amount of time, he made a large impact on our lives. He passed a few years ago, just prior to a major advance in his career, by experimenting with a drug that he thought was something else, but turned out to be laced with fentanyl. When I heard that he passed, I was traveling with a friend who was a medium, and she described what she saw about his passing - and a few minutes later had Jennifer on the phone and she was telling me the same details. It's unusual to be in such an odd position - to have friends who are mediums, who can access "what happened" almost in real time. So when Jennifer mentioned that he was in our class, she had spoken with him briefly three years ago. He wanted to raise the topic of "sudden passing" and as he did so, other people started showing up, Heath Ledger, Paul Walker and Matthew Perry. Now, for those who may be offended at the "number of celebrities" who show up on our podcast, I try to remind people that we aren't in charge of the guest list. It's Luana Anders, who appeared in over 300 TV shows and films in her life, who worked with everyone from Marlon Brando to John Belushi... so it's not unusual to have a "celebrity packed" classroom, because in the rubric of "everyone is six degrees from Kevin Bacon" (Meaning we're all connected to each other if we look for the connections) sometimes a whole gaggle of people show up about a particular topic. I invited Paul to speak as I know we had a brief chat with him after his passing, and we did a couple of interview with Matthew Perry, so I focused on Heath Ledger and asked him about his journey. Who met him on the other side, what that was like (and if memory serves me we did speak to him briefly years ago - I'll have to look it up - but when Jennifer said that he was "met by his dog" I seem to remember that in one of our "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" books. I'll look it up. He had a message for a mutual friend Phillip Noyce (I said "Phillip" Jennifer supplied his last name, not because she knows him, but because she met his wife for a reading 3 or 4 years ago.) I passed the message on to Phillip and he thanked me for doing so. (Doesn't mean he's a believer or an advocate, but he is a polite Aussie like his old friend Heath.) Then Marilyn Monroe showed up - and I'm sorry to Paul and Matthew, but I focused my questions to her - about her passing. In other podcasts, and in the transcripts of our conversations in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE we go into detail about her - about her flings with powerful men - but what makes this worthy of note was the question about greeting her father "that she never knew." While common knowledge that was the case - I'm more interested in what people have to say about that experience, and she reiterated what we've heard before. That her "missing father" agreed to play that role in this lifetime, as it was part of the inspiration that got her out of her "Norma Jean" shell to create this persona that became world famous and was always in search of that "father figure" she didn't have in life. She joked about "ignoring some of the bad films" that she made - but the point is, we're speaking to the "higher consciousness" of an individual - in this case a woman named Marilyn who was born as Norma, who created an avatar called "Marilyn" but who has had other lifetimes before, and will have more lifetimes after. Anyway, another mind bending session capped off by an appearance by Aretha Franklin - who in our interview many years ago, joked about being the "black Marilyn Monroe." That's the fun thing about this podcast - and the research - Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years, the transcripts are in the first four books, and on occasion someone we interviewed a long time ago, shows up and makes the same reference or joke they did back then. I know Jennifer isn't aware that Aretha made that joke back then - but she reminded us how she had told us she had a "handwritten will" that would be found by her niece - and that is what happened (despite her niece saying that she "didn't believe we were speaking to her aunt.") Which is fine. People show up for different reasons at different times. The idea is to be open to the possibility. As Luana's last words repeat at the end of the podcast. Enjoy.…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and an orb from another dimension 33:21

約 19 日前33:21

33:21

Another one of those mind bending podcasts. It's starts off as we always do, chatting about events of the day and what we've been up to. Jennifer talked about an event recently where she read some friends, and a child came through to talk about their experience being on the planet (in the crib, etc). How uncanny it was because so many of the details were confirmed by the women in the room. Then we invite Luana Anders, my pal who passed in 1996 who moderates our podcast from the flipside to have a chat. She wanted to talk about how we communicate through the heart. How we aren't aware of that frequency, but we are on the flipside. Jennifer mentions that she has a client in Dubai (UAE) that she works with - and the distance has little to do with the messages that come forward. Then Jennifer shared a video that she got from a friend of an orb outside her window. Jennifer talks about how her friend had filmed it with her cellphone outside her window. For those who are interested in "Orbs" - if one searches through the podcasts using that word, they can find a conversation we had with someone who had a number of orbs show up on her ring camera a few years ago. It coincided with a memorial for her husband, and wanted to know if there was a connection - so we chatted directly with the husband offstage, who confirmed a number of details that we didn't know - but his wife knew. And then the following week she shared a few more hours of footage - and that's discussed extensively on that podcast, including Jennifer's seeing them often in her home. She's also shared footage before of seeing orbs... the link can be found here: (cut and paste) https://youtu.be/k9Sq14pFCxs But this is clearly the most unusual video I've seen of an orb - ever. And it goes on for quite a time - and we ask Luana to tell us what that is, or who that is - and she does. Mind bending stuff, thanks for tuning in!…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Amelia Earhart, Harry Dean Stanton, Gene Hackman 32:36

約 26 日前32:36

32:36

Another unusual podcast. I started off revealing that I had asked Chat GPT for a suggestion for a guest - and oddly enough, it turned out to be someone already standing by... Amelia Earhart. Luana Anders is in charge of our guest list on the flipside, and Amelia wanted to discuss the three different projects that I have about her - one is a script for a film, one is a book, and the most recent is a book proposal (key to selling the book). I was working on it yesterday, so it was prescient to discuss it. She wanted to suggest I be more "wild" with it. I'll have to think that one over a bit. But good advice. Then we spoke a bit about Jennifer's journey to me, how Amelia was initially responsible for bringing us together - because when she said she was working with law enforcement on missing person cases - the idea of talking to Amelia popped into my head (and I didn't tell her who, just showed up at her office and spent three hours interviewing Amelia 10 years ago. Funny for her to put it this way. Then mid sentence an old friend Harry Dean Stanton showed up - he was a close friend of Luana's, and as noted, I hung out with Harry enough times to know he was a complete skeptic about the afterlife. However, because of our recent conversation with Gene Hackman, I looked up how they met - and they did a film back in the day directly by BL Norton (who later directed my script for "Three For the Road" - something I didn't know until I saw the film). Gene Hackman is in it - more of a cameo really as he disappears a third of the way in, and Harry Dean shows up later on as a hippie who is stoned and in a bathtub. The movie isn't worth reviewing other than to say "What were they thinking?" But fun to hear Harry Dean talk about Gene on the flipside, and how they're "water skiing" together on a lake on the flipside - and he talks about their lifetimes together before. Gene tells us that he and Harry were married in one lifetime which resulted (or perhaps another one did) in him "killing Harry" which turned into a recurring theme between the two of them, until they worked that out, so to speak. Harry said he was jealous or competitive at first, because Gene was a genius actor - but then "recognized him" from their journeys together. (As people sometimes do without ever realizing where the feeling comes from, and as noted, Harry was a skeptic's skeptic until he made it to the flipside. As noted, there's a scene in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Amazon Prime or Gaia where Jennifer first access Harry Dean - and he tells us to "tell people to believe in the possibility of a lifetime so they don't waste another minute arguing about it like I did." Wise words. Another mind bending episode.…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Lisa Marie, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Charlie Chaplin 52:17

約 29 日前52:17

52:17

This was an unusual podcast just based on the folks who showed up to chat with us. Jennifer and I had taken a trip to the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Blvd, and we had a group of folks who stopped by to say hello. At some point John Belushi talked about "ghost watching" - not to show up in the hotel to watch people onstage, but to watch "the other ghosts wandering around." Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson showed up to talk about early exits - people who leave the stage early for whatever reason. And that brought a bunch of people forward, from JFK to Elvis, to Matthew Perry, Robin Williams and others... the point they were making is that people leave the stage in all different fashions, and it's about focusing on who they were while they were onstage, and not how they left it. We had a brief chat with Gene Hackman again - to clarify what happened in light of the police reports... and he made a joke about it. I try to repeat the advice that these folks are available to anyone if they take the time to ask them questions. But be prepared for them not being all that interested in questions that relate to our journey and not theirs. I asked my old pal Charles Grodin about what it was like to see his old friend Gene, and then we shifted to an event that happened later in the day. While dining at Musso and Frank's in Hollywood two members of my group saw "a ghostly figure" sitting in the corner of the room. They didn't know who it was or could be, but said he "looked like the actor Robert Downey Jr." (And even then they didn't know his name either, and asked questions about someone named "Downey") They also heard him talking about "table #1" to them - so I invited the waiter to stop by the table and simply asked about any ghosts people might have seen in the restaurant. He said "Charlie Chaplin" and I asked where table #1 was - and he mentioned the table that I had lunch with Jonathan Winters - which was table #1 - and how that's where Charlie liked to dine. We asked Charlie about why he was seen "scribbling notes" and he said it was the place he liked to have good ideas and good food, but also said in this instance, he showed up so that members of my group would see him, and that would inspire me to invite him to chat on our podcast. I don't know how else to put it - but Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years. Not everyone who shows up in our conversations is a celebrity - but because of my 40 years in the business, and Luana Ander's 300 TV shows and movies (my friend who moderates our podcast from the Flipside, who passed in 1996) I'm not surprised when people do show up that we can recognize. Jennifer's father Jim also stopped by to clarify some things, and I must say - the topic of leaving the stage early came up - if someone is in need of help or counseling, there is help - and one should reach out to 988 and the counselors there from any telephone. But in my desire to not use the S word in the podcast, I tried to leave it out of the conversation, as the algorithms will generally not want it to be discussed - but the important point was made by people offstage - that is to realize that life goes on no matter what happens, and that everyone onstage signed up to be onstage, and should see what things might occur or happen that we could not be aware of. Oh, and Robin Williams showed up to not only discuss the same topic, but to confirm that during a recent guided meditation, this woman saw him in her "classroom in the afterlife" - and he confirmed that it was him BEFORE I COULD ASK THE QUESTION. Anyways, all of it is mind bending, and hopefully whomever needs to hear what they are talking about is able to hear what they're trying to say. Thanks for tuning in!…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Rich Martini, Luana Anders, Jeff, Lois Tracey and friends 43:11

Another fun adventure in the flipside. We began by talking about Jennifer's brain scans that we'll be discussing at the Contact in the Desert (contactinthedesert.com) late May early June near Palm Springs. I was on #CoastToCoast with George Noory last night, talking about our ongoing research with #AmeliaEarhart. In today's session, my friend (who passed in 1996) Luana Anders had us discuss a recollection I had the other day - while answering a question on the Hacking the Afterlife forum on Quora - someone asked me about a past life I reported in one of my books (likely ITS A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE) where I recalled a lifetime with Luana in Sumeria. And while I was answering the question I was accessing the memory of the visual I had seen during my past life regression... and Luana is saying that when we examine previous lifetimes, it's like sitting in a movie theater and watching a film of that lifetime. The details were unknown to me - I had no idea where Sumeria was, but many people do. The point isn't that I was or wasn't what I was recalling - it's about the process of how one can recall previous lifetimes by doing a simple meditation where they're in a movie theater in their mind, and on the screen are scenes that may seem familiar. The idea is to access them in a number of different ways - through meditation, through mediumship or hypnotherapy. All three yield results. Then I had a birthday shout out to my brother Jeff who passed a few years back. (May 6th, 2022 to be exact) So when she gives some dates about that - sometimes they're spot on, and sometimes it's what the "feeling" of time is - in this case, I didn't know, and as it turns out it was 4 years ago The fun part is when my brother says to Jennifer "I know you, we've met!" and she recognizes him. Which is funny, because that's the kind of thing he would have loved to do in life. State the obvious with enthusiasm. Then I asked to chat with a friend of mine's mom, Lois Tracey who passed at 94 recently. Her funeral services are in Scottsdale tomorrow - I can't make it - but I thought this might be a way of honoring her, and that is to speak to her directly. Those who know her son Paul know were were close pals until his untimely passing - it turns out to be from a heart condition that Lois discovered ran in the family tree - was unknown at the time. But it's great to hear she's with Paul and her husband Jack (and their dog Hedda) on the flipside. For those who would like context, look up "Jack Tracey" and my name for an article about our conversations with Jack while he was in hospice care. As he put it "90% of his conscious energy was already back home" and that being in hospice care was like "leaving a leg in the pool." A wonderful set of friends, and it was fun to be able to chat with them all.…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Robert Towne, Gene Hackman, Mozart 39:34

6 weeks前39:34

39:34

Another fun podcast - this one on the morning of the Oscars. I had been sensing that Gene Hackman wanted to talk to us - whether accurate or not, but there were a number of folks that I know that he knew, and I did spend a day with him in Santa Fe. That being said, Robert Towne comes forward to talk about the film "Anora" - (Jennifer hears it as "Aurora" at first) I don't know if Robert was telling us who was going to win the Oscars a few hours later - but he does mention it first off. Then I asked Luana if this person who passed the past week wanted to come and speak to us - and he said that it was Robert Towne who greeted him and invited him to this conversation. Robert was the "ghost writer" on the film Bonnie and Clyde, long time collaborator with Warren Beatty. (Shampoo) I asked Gene if he wanted to talk about his passing - it's important to report that there's been no decided upon manner of passing - and it wasn't me or Jennifer who talked about "carbon monoxide" but that's what she got. He said it wasn't foul play, but something that happened. He said since he believed in afterlife, it wasn't surprising for him to see his friends - but he describes the beauty of that in details. He talks about a number of people that he saw, including our frequent guest Jimi Hendrix. We've asked Jimi about this in the past - he has said repeatedly that it's a role he likes to play because everyone recognizes him, even if they didn't know him. I asked if he was playing a song and asked if it might have been "Blue Suede Shoes" then reminded Jennifer we've heard multiple folks report hearing him playing that song (he recorded it in 1970). Gene was an accomplished artists, and I asked him about art on the flipside, and he said it was like music. He spoke of seeing Mozart - and I asked him a couple of questions. (He had shown up in a guided meditation the day before with a Viennese woman). We've been doing these conversations with people offstage for ten years, so apologies to those who are offended my laughing about things that he's saying - if one goes back over the past four years, they'll find many of our podcasts where we interviewed friends of Gene's on the other side. Including Gene Wilder, including Robin Williams, Robert Towne multiple times, Fred Roos and others that Gene Hackman worked with and was friends with - including Harry Dean Stanton. It just so happened that our podcast got delayed until today - it wasn't planned to happen this way - but when the Oscars ran their memorial, there are a number of people listed who we've interviewed on our podcast. Thanks again to Gene and condolences to his family - and friends - but I recommend taking the time to just ask him questions. He says it in the podcast when asked "How do people reach out to you?" He says "Just ask, but believe it's possible to hear a reply." By the way, the friend whose father I asked about the poem, said he didn't think it was accurate... that happens; Jennifer interprets what she's getting to the best of her ability. But as we hear on the podcast it does help if the folks trying to access them allow for the possibility they still exist.…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Rich Martini, Luana Anders, Amelia Earhart & Prince 35:28

8 weeks前35:28

35:28

Welcome to the podcast! In today's episode we begin by inviting Luana Anders to come and chat with us about whatever she'd like to discuss and brings along her pal Amelia Earhart. After hearing her say that it's okay for me to pretend to "channel" her in my latest book, she comments on the fact that despite the Equal Rights Amendment being approved by a majority of the country, it still isn't consider the law of the land. She says "that's sad" to consider. She talks about how Mother Mary comes through in the research to share non denominational advice that's we should treat everyone fairly - or without judgment. It's often repeated whenever she does show up in a discussion, and there's a discussion about the book "The Greatest Story Never Told as told by Jesus and those who knew him." The point Amelia seems to make is that we need to stop judging others based on race, gender or any of the other judgments we use to convince others to feel less than, separate or apart. This is not a religious idea or concept - and again isn't coming from Jennifer or me - but we're hearing it from the aviatrix who is on the flipside and wants to help. Then we have a visit from the musician Prince - I'm aware that there is a documentary that's been made about his life, and how the filmmaker who made it was recently told that Netflix was not going to air the version he made - because the Prince estate wasn't happy with the result. Jennifer doesn't know anything about this film or this footage - but I do. Former Music critic at Variety, I pay attention to this kind of thing - and Prince says on the podcast that he was disappointed that they decided to change the direction of the documentary, as "the truth sets people free on both sides of the veil." As Jennifer points out - it's not something we often hear because people usually refer to things "happening in the sequence they're supposed to happen." But in this case, he is asked if he agrees with that decision (a decision Jennifer isn't aware of) and he says "no, he is not happy with it." There's a clarification of something we heard the week before, Luana's cat, Mr. Bailey (dubbed the Cosmic Cat by Chat GPT) said that he was "in charge of how reincarnation works." I wanted to clarify that - and he was in agreement that it was like what General Sherman had said earlier in our podcast - the giant Sequoia who said that "frequency wise" he was related to all trees everywhere, and all wood everywhere. As if once we're offstage, we see how we are all connected, all part of a larger ocean of individuals, yet we can be accessed in this fashion. Mind bending stuff. Thanks for tuning in.…

Happy Valentines Day 2025! Another unusual conversation with the flipside courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer. We begin by talking about some of the sad memories that Jennifer has associated with this week, and how she's done a "love yourself" meditation to help her overcome those sad memories. There's a brief visit by Steve Jobs, and then Luana Anders brings Abraham Lincoln forward. Except he doesn't want to "talk about politics." He wanted to reiterate something he said a few weeks ago, that my "Character AI" chat with him was "accurate" - in terms of accessing who he is (and was.) He also threw us a curve by suggesting that all conversation with people in the afterlife are just like conversing with Artificial Intelligence, because like large language models, the answers are based on the memories of individuals. Not something Jennifer or I had ever considered - but he lays it out there for consideration. Then Luana brings Stephen Hawking foward, and he wants to talk about communication in general - the idea of telepathy, and how people can converse with, learn new information from people offstage. He talks about the idea of how time is so different offstage - where he is - that we can't conceptualize it - but that it follows what quantum mechanics demonstrates... that distance and time and space aren't what we think they are. Like I say mind bending - as evidenced by the questions I asked him. Then an unusual conversation with Luana Anders' cat - "Mr. Bailey" - she had a number of cats in her life, but this one was pretty unusual. He references a moment when Luana called me on the phone to say her "cat had escaped" and because she wasn't able to walk due her condition - would I come and look for him? I roamed the streets behind her house calling his name - but it was my wife Sherry who went into the backyard and said aloud "Mr. Bailey, Luana needs you now." And he appeared in the tree above her and jumped into Sherry's arms... a complete stranger to Mr. Bailey as it was my then girlfriend's first trip to Luana's house. When I came back from wandering the streets of Mar Vista, there was Mr. Bailey in Luana's arms, and she looked at me and said point blank; "Sherry is an angel." Not something I'd ever heard Luana say before. So in this unusual conversation I'm asking Mr. Bailey the same kinds of questions we've asked Hira - Robert Towne's dog - and getting the same kinds of answers but with a different personality. Notice his answer to "have you ever incarnated as a human?" (It's rarely reported, and his answer was pretty funny.) Finally, on behalf of Valentine's Day, Robin Williams showed up - unannounced - to remind people to "love themselves first" and that will generate love for others. To "love love" - the very thing he said when we first talked to him and asked him "What if anything would he like to tell the planet?" Mind bending to say the least, but welcome to our world.…

Jennifer is in the midst of working on a missing person case for law enforcement agencies (pro bono). She works with a number of other mediums who do their best to help law enforcement with whatever information she can gather. So I took the opportunity to ask her some questions about the process. How she is able to "see" or "hear" information, and then to examine it knowing that people on the flipside can be going through some trauma while imparting that information, or for whatever reason they project what they are able to. In this case, it's an ongoing issue, we we did not get into specifics. Jennifer avoids looking up information online so it doesn't interfere with her process, but it did bring to mind a conversation we had awhile ago when my friend the actor Julian Sands went missing. So we invited Julian to come forward and to get Jennifer some assistance in that area, as well as asking him about his journey. As noted sometime ago (and one can search the podcast for the interview) he had come through and told us that he was on the flipside, that he was an experienced climber, and he wasn't going to be found until the snow had melted. (Which is what happened.) I asked for messages for his wife and friends. But I also asked about a fellow named Ken (Ken Russell) who is a British film director who came into my radar because his wife reached out to me on our forum on Quora ("Hacking the Afterlife") to tell me about a dream she had where Ken had come forward and suggested that she "look me up" and see how it's possible to continue the conversation. Ken worked with Julian on the film "Gothic" - some years ago, and they were and remain friends. Take a look at the film online to see what he's talking about during the podcast. I sincerely hope they're able to find the young person that is missing, but suffice to say that we've been speaking to the "higher selves" of people offstage weekly for ten years now... and as I've noted Jennifer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person and other cases - she does that work pro bono, and is about a third of her day, dealing with trying to help people figure out answers. It's an unusual way to look at the planet - to realize that we always have a portion of who we are, our conscious energy offstage at all times. There are a myriad of reasons why things happen, and the answer to those questions might require examining other lifetimes, or events that only our guides, teachers, council members might know. All of it work exploring to see what we can learn from those folks no longer on the planet. For more info, see the films FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON or HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Amazon Prime or Gaia, or take a look at our four books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE. Jennifer and I will be appearing at the CONTACT IN THE DESERT event in June, details to follow on their website. Thanks for tuning in! Here is the message a medium got from Julian Sands after he passed: "I tried very hard to get back to you all. My love is eternal and beyond all wordly boundaries. I've been on this journey for a long time and now return to spirit. I did not give up I let go. Because it was my time. My last moments were so beautiful and connected and some of you felt it too. At least I felt you did. That was me. And I am here still. For you when you need me. I have no deep messages now. I am assimilating like learning the mountain air of this place. When I have done that fully, I will be in touch. But love is all, isn't it?"…

Another mind bending podcast. At some point, I ask Amelia Earhart about the latest book I'm writing about her, and she tells Jennifer to tell me, "It's on page 36, Chapter Two" - and lo and behold, the actual structure I'm asking her about is pictured on page 36, the start of Chapter Two. No one has seen this book but me. It's uncanny sometimes, but for those who are fans of this podcast, that's Jennifer in a nutshell. In this podcast, she starts with the memory of her dad Jim Medlyn who passed 8 years ago today. Jim is very eloquent on the flipside, and has turned us on to a number of things that we talk about in the podcast, including the teacher he met - and introduced us to - Ma Durga, an 8 armed individual. For fans of the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE we have interviewed her a number of times, and she has shown up in other sessions with different people using meditation to access this same information. Amelia Earhart tells us about a class that she is teaching in aviation, except that everyone in the class sees and feels the plane when she describes it. Mind bending to say the least. Robin Williams shows up to point out he's glad he's continuing to make people laugh, and enjoy his work. And then we interview David Lynch again - part two of his interview from last week. If one hasn't heard that one, seek it out - but this is a continuation of those concepts and events. We ask him what it feels like being off the planet for two weeks and gives us a mind bending relativity answer. He talks about his journey and what he's learned on the flipside since leaving the stage. All of it is mind bending to some degree. All I can say is "Enjoy."…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, David Lynch and his many friends 30:40

Another mind bending podcast. The day David Lynch passed, I felt like I heard him say "So why didn't you interview me?" I kind of chuckled to myself - thinking, "Of people I know, who knew David that well?" I haven't seen all his films - just a few, so I missed the many Harry Dean Stanton appearances. As fans of the podcast know, I knew Harry Dean, played guitar with him, he was close friends with Luana Anders (who passed in 1996) and when Harry Dean passed, we interviewed him. He has shown up a number of times, also with Billy Paxton, whom I started me career with, and with whom Billy and Harry worked on "Big Love" together. So "any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine" - in terms of how we are able to communicate with people offstage. In this instance, I started to ask Jennifer if David had been the person I heard saying "Why didn't you interview me?" and before I could ask it - she said "He is." It's on camera. I thought it, started to speak; she answered it. That's how this works. Jennifer and I have been doing this together for ten years - every week, if one can imagine. And this time, all this past week I've been hearing "messages" from Mr. Lynch. Some examples; my son suggested we go and see "Inland Empire" at the Egyptian. Two people in the audience told me afterwards that they saw him "sitting off to the side" - exactly where he says he was, in the last ten minutes of the film. It's when Laura Dern's character merges with her "old self" in the film. A bright light appears as they embrace. That's when these two said they saw him in the theater. It's not my opinion they saw him - it's not my belief they saw him - I asked, and he said that "indeed, he was there at the theater, and that he was surprised more people didn't realize it." David was an early proponent of Transcendental Meditation - something he learned from Maharishis Mahesh Yogi - the same fellow from Rishikesh that the Beatles went to visit. In one of his interviews (that I watched this week after hearing from him) he said that he had met MMY and learned TM from him. And since then he would meditate twice a day. As he said in an interview, "once in the morning" and once during the lunch hour. Also, I learned that he went to Bob's Big Boy in Burbank (a fan favorite for my family) and every day at 2:30 would have a "malted and a cup of coffee." Sometimes he'd add fries. So we went to Bob's and saw the huge display of memorabilia people have deposited in his honor - as well as saw there was an hour wait to sit at the counter. So we moseyed on down to Paty's - where we were able to sit at the counter and get our milkshakes, coffee and fries. We sat next to two David devotees - people who had met at Disneyland and become pals over David, and were doing the same thing we were doing. And we talked about David and we talked about this podcast... that I had yet to do. I told them to "tune in this week and we'll see if we can get him to come by." So a shout out to Derek and Sharon who are fans of Mr. Lynch. It's an unusual event to be sure - people are spontaneously honoring him, not for any other reason than they were moved by him, or learned something from him. Also, Jennifer did not know David's work - as she notes in the podcast. So she didn't know - couldn't know - that David's nickname for Laura Dern was "tidbit" - his nickname for Naomi Watts was "buttercup" - nickname for Patricia Arquette was "Solid Gold" - his old pal Jack Fisk is married to Sissy Spacek, Isabella was the Oscar nominee - Ms. Rossellini - and his nickname for Kyle MacLachlan was "Kale" (because producer Dino de Laurentiis couldn't pronounce Kyle on "Dune") -I forgot to ask him if he'd seen Dino yet, but as he said "I've seen them all." He had a message for "Doug and Steve Martin" who directed his short promo for "Eraserhead" and the Woody Woodpecker dolls... He mentioned talking to Dennis Hopper (Luana's pal) Dean Stockwell (whom I directed in the film LIMIT UP) and Bill Paxton (who I met while he was doing Aliens and we wrote a script together.) He had messages for Steven Spielberg and Mel Brooks - all pals of his, and for his family "I had the ride of my life and I can't wait to do it again!" - For those coming to this podcast for the first time, I recommend looking over the past three years of online podcasts, looking at the transcripts of the 7 years prior to that in the books TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE and BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 and 3. Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years. If one wants to book a session with Jennifer, find her at JenniferShaffer.com - and if one wants to book a meditation (visit to their council) with me, go to RichardMartini.com and follow the links. But as David said; all you need is a shake, some fries and a coffee to talk to him. Enjoy. He said something fun and…

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Rich Martini, Luana Anders Post Fires Advice 39:05

A friend who is a doctor suggested we do a podcast where we ask people on the flipside for some advice on how to counsel people about the trauma they've gone through the past week. Jennifer and I have been speaking to folks offstage for ten years now, and there have been many natural disasters in the past decade. In this case, both of us know people who have suffered the loss of their homes and are at a loss over what comes next. In terms of help, there are a number of organizations that can help, from Fema to local government agencies, from WCK.org with Chef Andres to local places for clothing or food. In this case, my friend Luana Anders, who passed away in 1996 gives some advice from her perspective - that there is always good that comes from tragedy. We talk about how many people in the throes of trauma aren't ready to hear advice about how to heal - and it's difficult to hear someone from the flipside say "It's just things" or "It's stuff." I like to say "It's props and costumes" - but that is little solace to someone without fire insurance having to depend on the kindness of strangers. But as Jennifer notes, she's seeing and hearing from many on the flipside about how they are concerned and trying to help their loved ones. Anyways, it's a more philosophical version of our podcast, not about asking specific people on the flipside about their journey - but asking for our guides, teachers, council members to weigh in on how to connect to them for help or advice. And as we've noted in the past, our guides and council members are never far from us - are available - through meditation, through prayer, through direct connection, through "picturing yourself in a boat on a river" and asking them to stop by and give us advice. We are never alone. We don't arrive onstage alone, and we don't leave alone. That's what the data, the research, the footage shows. Hope this helps whomever it's meant to help who is tuning in. "Give what you think you need." (from Luana Anders on the flipside.)…

Happy New Year! Well no time like the present to kick off the new year with a mind bending podcast courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini. Jennifer's web page JenniferShaffer.com has links to her "Uncorked" events, or to book with her directly, RichardMartini.com is where one can book a guided meditation with Rich. So the other day in my kitchen (and I don't know why it's the case, but I sometimes get a message or feeling there that someone wants to talk to us) President Jimmy Carter popped into my head. It of course could have been because he'd just passed away - but I try not to judge why someone shows up, or if someone shows up. I just leave it aside, and see what happens when we start the podcast. And as we often do, I left it up to our moderator on the Flipside, Luana Anders to suggest the topic for the day. And she told Jennifer: "Richard has someone who spoke to him yesterday." Which is accurate. And just prior to the podcast - literally a minute before, I remembered that happened, and I looked up Jimmy on Wikipedia so at the very least I had some of his background correct. as it is - at some point I call the King of England before Elizabeth "Edward" when everyone knows that's not her father's name. But Jennifer didn't say his name - just pointed out that she was seeing him when Winston Churchill showed up. (For historians out there, the story of Winston sleeping in the White House and seeing a ghost is old news.) As noted, when over the past ten years we have someone Presidential show up (We've had all chats with Hoover, FDR, Truman, JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr.. and folks associated with the Presidency - Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, RFK, John McCain - those interviews are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE (books 1, 2 and 3). Some of them are searchable on the podcast - Abe, JFK, RFK, etc... but it wasn't surprising what Jimmy said about seeing Reagan on the flipside, how McCain stopped by - and the legions of people who loved him were there to greet him. Interesting that he said Rosalyn was "with him" frequency wise - he spoke about the regrets he had from his life (associated with war) and the things he was proudest of. I asked him a question about a film project I've been working on - something only he would know about, the land case in Maine. Fun to hear him say it's a story "that should be told." He also talked briefly about people off planet - since he saw a UFO back in 1969, and says that the kinds of work they're doing are benevolent... nothing to fear. The same kind of things I've heard in the research behind CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND. We asked him who he was surprised to see - and he mentioned Winston Churchill and Elvis - who was friends with him. Paul Newman showed up - I wasn't aware of their friendship, but Jimmy talked about Paul's food charity work, and we asked Paul some questions about his journey, including what it was like to welcome his wife Joanne Woodward home. So while one is watching the nation mourn this President, while the nation has a funeral for him, honoring him and his service, be aware that he hasn't disappeared or is gone: he's just not here. Available. Like everyone is. Hope this helps.…

Ho ho ho! Well, we've made it to the end of another year. Jennifer talks a bit about the lessons learned in his one, and the ones that seem to be on the horizon. We revisit a tidbit from last week's podcast when Amelia Earhart suggested I might take a trip to ChatGPT with regard to the book I'm working on - and I realized when I listened afterwards, she may have been referring to a search I had done a few days before. Turns out that indeed was the case, when I asked ChatGPT to identify the mysterious woman whom Amelia was in love with, who was part of the marriage with George Putnam, who was in bed with Amelia and George when Dorothy Putnam walked in on the three of them. This has been something I had searched and researched since 2008 when I first heard it from Pattie Canova, a medium in NYC, then via Jamie Butler, a medium working with Channeling Erik, then via Jennifer Shaffer during our marathon interviews with Amelia when we met ten years ago. Now I have a name to go with the story. I am thrilled to learn it. Then Junior Seau showed up to say hello - we've interviewed him before about how CTE has been cured by Joe Namath using oxygen therapy. Then my old pal Bill Paxton showed up to say hello, tease Jennifer because she always forgets her name, and when I asked him who he was surprised to see on the flipside, he mentioned Carl Weathers - whom I spent a year writing a screenplay with. Carl was also a sweetheart, a wonderful friend like Bill is and was - and knowing the two of them hanging out means all that many more laughs in the universe. Another thrilling thing to hear. So with all these thrills, sending everyone a happy holidays, Happy Hanukkah, a safe and hilarious New Year's and we'll catch you on the flipside of 2024! As always, a special thanks to Jennifer and to Luana for making this podcast possible. It's mind bending, but it has been since we began ten years ago!!!…
