Hacking The Afterlife podcast

This is an edited podcast from 2024 where we spoke to the recently departed film producer Fred Roos. A close friend to Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, Jennifer had no idea who we were interviewing until midway through the podcast. 

Fred had messages for many of his close friends, and in one instance I was able to pass that message along at his funeral. In this podcast, he has a message for Sophia and Francis Coppola, his long time pals, as well as Harrison Ford who's career he started. At his funeral Harrison said "Without Fred I wouldn't be here."

Also a number of other people show up, including his pal Harry Dean Stanton (a skeptic and atheists whom Jennifer and I interviewed when he crossed over.) There are appearances by many people Fred knew, including Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, also Aretha Franklin and Christopher Reeves.

We do this podcast to show that anyone can speak to their loved ones offstage. It just so happens that I knew Fred Roos for four decades, and met him in his office at Zoetrope back in the day. We stayed pals over the years, he was always kind and generous with me - and he was a huge pal to Robert Towne and Luana Anders as well as Jack Nicholson.

None of these names in this podcast are "name dropping" when we're talking to the source. These were all friends of his, and I have met most of them - including the one he references - the reincarnation of James Dean. Fred worked with this person, and while we don't mention the name - because the person whom Jennifer and I both interviewed for hours - knows that they are the reincarnation of James Dean, have known that their whole lives - but chooses not to share it with people.

Like I say, this is another of the Best Of podcasts that we've done. (Jennifer is currently swamped with clients and folks who need her help.)

Enjoy.

Something a little different - I took three podcasts and cut them together - so there are no seques or the usual introductions or conversational tidbits we normally do.

I've got so much of these, and this is an hour taken from three different podcasts.

One includes Prince and Brian Wilson, along with Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix... then one with my concert pianist mother Anthy with Beethoven, Shakespeare stops by to talk about music in the afterlife and attending performances of his music... Will Shakespeare does the same - and finally conversations with John McCain (Maverick) JFK, RFK and Whitney Houston.  

All of it mind bending - but Jennifer and I just stopped by the studios of Gaia and did a live session where Jennifer spoke to, learned new information from Amelia Earhart - and that will take awhile before it airs.

Let me know in the comments if this is something folks want me to do - excerpt some of the podcasts so we can use the highlights.

Jennifer and I are getting ready to film a segment at Beyond Belief about all the research regarding Amelia Earhart - so I pulled this file from three years ago to demonstrate that every time Amelia Earhart shows up - she's outside of time as we understand it. Can answer questions about her path and journey - even when I repeat the same questions years apart.

For thos familiar with the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA - it was 40 years ago when I started researching her life and journey. It was 30 years ago when I tried to direct a feature film with my friend Rebecca Broussard, who could have been her twin at the time. 

Film director Phillip Noyce was going to produce - but for whatever reason, it didn't get off the runway.  However, the story kept coming back to me in various ways - and finally I decided to put together all the research, including a trip to Saipan in 2013 where I found 15 new eyewitnesses to her story - including US Marines who found her Electra on Aslito airfield, who guarded it, watched it test flown and then watched as the military decided to "get it out of the way."

And earlier version of the govt covering something up and then pretending for decades that they didn't find it - didn't fly it - didn't recover her briefcase with her passports, maps and charts.  She was never "lost" - the US knew where she was, but because they learned it via the secret codes of the Japanese, they couldn't reveal that they knew.

The Japanese knew where she was - and was likely hoping to use her in some fashion, but never got to. 

So Jennifer and I are going to talk about her on Gaia, on the Beyond Belief show - and go over the two aspects of getting this story told - the details of forensic research, as well as the details from the Flipside - some of the more incredible clues that she put in front of us to tell her story in a way that's never been told before.

The sound is a little screwy - I was on the road at the time we did this podcast, so apologies to those who are tuning in on the car radio - but it is what it is.  

Thanks for tuning in!

Jennifer Shaffer is a medium/intuitive who works with members of law enforcement nationwide, including agents from the FBI, NYPD and LAPD. We met ten years ago and began a conversation that has continued undaunted onto this podcast.

 

I'm a filmmaker, author who has written 13 books about the afterlife, Jennifer and I met up ten years ago and have been meeting weekly ever since.  We have four books together BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE.

Jennifer has been instrumental in helping me to get information from people offstage - including #AmeliaEarhart and the book #SheWasNeverLost - the Amelia Earhart saga.

In today's podcast we talk to someone that Jennifer didn't know when he was on the planet, but has met and works with members of his family.  In our podcast, he refers to someone who saw him many years ago - someone whom I knew who worked with him.  

Upon further reflection, I'm not sure if he was referring to my friend or not - but either way, I knew who Jennifer was referring to.  Steve wanted to speak about AI - and argue that it's not something to fear but something that will enhance the ability of people to think at a faster rate.

We talked about the value and pitfalls of that - and he's arguing that people can use it as a tool that it's meant to be used as.  

I asked some questions about #Parkinsons (and the show "Shrinking which had an episode about it) as well as my old USC professor the late Coleman Hough who had Parkinsons and appears in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE where it vanishes during her six hour interview.

We talked about how that is or why that happened, and then talk about the idea that "filters on the brain" (see Dr. Greysons book AFTER pg 125 or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE for a discussion of the research into filters on the brain) might be something to examine, look into as science tries to cure Parkinsons.

We reiterate we're asking questions, not giving any medical advice - not medical advice is implied or suggested or given.  However, when talking about the brain and the research involved with looking for "filters on the brain" and how it is that Jennifer's brain is in a "delta state" during her sessions (as proven by MRI's that she has done on camera, and the same results were demonstrated via Dr. Drew and Tyler Henry's MRIs.) 

That people who do this kind of mediumship MAY BE stepping past those filters - and that doing so on a daily basis may help or heal parts of the brain.

That's the general discussion and we do these discussions to inspire people to do their own.

Hope this helps.

As usual, another mind bending session.

It begins with a visit from Kobe, who mentions some of the work that Jennifer has been doing with his family.  I asked him some questions about his observations of watching NBA players, and he says he plays an active role in terms of helping those who are open to it.

He called his "council" his "line up" - the team that we all have that help us when we're navigating the stage. He said he's more likely to work with coaches than individual players.

Luana then brought forward JFK jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy - whom we've had a brief chat with before, but this time it's a little more indepth.  Asking him what it was like to cross over to the flipside, he said he was someone who didn't know where he was for awhile.. and then his mother brought him that awareness. 

I asked him some questions about his opinion of the current administration and he couldn't stop laughing. John McCain (Maverick) stopped by as JFK Jr said he was one of the people who surprised him on the other side - as it wasn't someone he'd have conversed with on the planet, but offstage they were able to talk about John's incarceration and aspects of that part of his journey. 

In terms of speaking to Carolyn about who she was surprised to meet on the other side, a question I often ask people, she said she was surprised to meet with Oprah's "higher self."

We only bring a portion of our conscious energy to a lifetime - based on the reports - and a larger portion of "who we are" is always "back home."

So that included some unusual questions to "Oprah's higher self" about her path and journey and what advice she might give to people listening in.

All of it mind bending.

But it's what we've been doing for years now, and about six years on our podcast.

Enjoy.
