Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Another fun conversation with folks on the Flipside. In this, Luana Anders, our moderator on the Flipside wants to discuss a dream that I had recently where I was on one side of a door with my brother, both of us trying to get it open - and on the other side I could hear my mom's voice.

As I awoke, I recognized the door. It's the same door that was mentioned a few weeks ago during a podcast, and I asked my friend on the flipside about this door - and her message to me was "let it go."

Which I did. 

But the dream made me reach out to the folks who have this door - and sending a text message about the dream prompted a reply that said "your family can come and retrieve the door if they want to."

When I awoke from the dream about the door - I was thinking about the metaphor. It was the last remaining piece from the house I grew up in, that our father the Architect designed and built for his family - and that door has every person's name and a date who crossed into our threshold. 

Hundreds of names of people - old girlfriends, (we were four boys) but also wives, children, grandchildren, their pets - all stood against the door while my dad marked their height and the date they were there.

Luana is on the door. Multiple times. My parents, my brothers, their families - our dog Sam - all on the door.

And the reason that came to me after the dream is that this door represents a kind of Akashic library - retaining the time signature, the frame of time when that person stood against the door - had themselves measured, the time and place dated. 

Many of the names on the door have left the stage - but they - like all of our loved ones - still exist outside of time as we understand it. 

They're available - all of them - because that floppy disk of who we are has the mathematics of the time frame imbedded in that door... so to speak. Like a photograph - or a video - but in ways different, perhaps more fun, because we can see the handwriting of the person who wrote their name, signed their name, wrote the date - on the door.

And now it's in my brother's garage. 

He sent me a photo of it the other day - and there they are, all of them, our friends, pals, lovers, relatives, comedy giants, musicians - all of them on that one door.

That I thought was gone.

But it is not.

And this week I'm editing a "best of Amelia Earhart" so I invited Amelia to stop by and weigh in - and she talked about the crew we all have.

The team on the flipside.

Our teachers, our guides, our classmates, our higher selves, our council members - all participate in our journey, but are like a plane's mechanics... each bolt, each oil drop, each gear and mesh is related to a safe flight.

We are never alone in the air with our plane - we have all these folks on the ground who did their job that got us airborne.

I used the metaphor of a football team - guards and tackles, linebackers, halfbacks, quarterbacks - and the coaches and men and women behind the team - who design the plays, watch the footage - all of them are involved in each and every play.

It's a bit like what the astronaut said the other day when someone asked her about what constitutes a crew or a team - and she started to talk about what a good crew means, and realized somewhere in that thought that everyone on Earth is part of that same crew.

The crew that keeps our planet going forward.

Sorry I didn't mention it on the podcast, but I'm mentioning it now.

Be kind to everyone.

I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to do a podcast this week (we did, it's posted) - so I put together a few (four) different interviews where we "spoke to Jesus."

Now, for those who find that problematic, in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE there is a transcript of my first conversation with Jennifer Shaffer - my first interview with her. 

And three people came forward that day - AMELIA EARHART (transcripts are in the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST; THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA) who confirmed the three decades of research I'd already done about her disappearance - then BILL PAXTON my old pal who confirmed details that only he could know (and became the basis for the doc TALKING TO BILL PAXTON on amazon prime or Gaia) and finally, an appearance by the alpha and omega.

I had filmed some people seeing him before (as reported in the film and book FLIPSIDE; MY JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE) and since then, Jesus has shown up so many times in so many interviews, so many hypnotherapy sessions, guided meditations and mediumship conversations (with different mediums) - that the former head of Paramount studios asked me to share those interview in book form.

THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM.

If one takes a look at that book they'll see that this is not a religious belief, religious theory, or opinion that Jesus is available. He shows up often in the research, and repeatedly says things contrary to the Bible.

He says "All religions point to the same garden."

He says "The bible is metaphor. If the quote doesn't include unconditional love, then I didn't say it."

He says "You don't have to follow me but let me walk beside you as we walk each other home."

He tells an alternate version of his life - and when asked why has said more than once "It's not alternate if it's true."

I can't see or hear him. (Jennifer can or the mediums can or the people doing a guided meditation can, or the 15% of NDE's who see him can).  The people I'm talking to can - and like Jennifer in this conversation - which occurred over a number of years, I think going back six years based on the equipment being used.  

But this is an excerpt of four conversations with Jesus.  

I watched an interview with him and the medium Rebecca Fantl yesterday - and he says the same things there as well, says the same things with Kimberly Babcock (which is on this page) says the same things to Jamie Butler (two interviews on this podcast with Jesus via Jamie.)

I post this in honor of him, not to be controversial. 

He still exists. And he says repeatedly, if you have an open heart he can speak to, communicate, answer questions for anyone.

That's not my opinion, not a theory - not a belief. In 20 years of filming people seeing him, he says the same things over and over and over. Not that one should follow the Good Book - or claim that by following him they're better than others - or that he died on the cross for their sins.  That, according to him and the friends that knew him - happened differently - no less powerful because it turns out he's the only person on the planet who survived that ordeal.

But let him be heard in his own words.

Happy Easter.

He is Risen - because he never left.

The Second Coming is the realization that he never left  and that all of our loved ones still exist - and are accessible, available and can help us out of whatever conflicts or problems we put ourselves into.

Jesus... or Yeshua, or Esiah (as his friends report they knew him as Essie, or the way he's known in the region as Issa and in the Qur'an as Issa) in his own words.

Hope this helps someone!

Another one of these mind bending podcasts.

In this one, Jennifer and I begin to speak to Luana Anders offstage about how to communicate with loved ones, and the importance of daily meditation.  At some point we talk about how we can communicate with trees, animals, other beings we share the planet with.

When asked what Luana Anders, our guide on the Flipside wanted to discuss, she pointed Jennifer's attention to me - and a Monk in a chair. Luana said it was about me being that Monk.

For fans of the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, there's a transcript of the past life regression where I recalled being a Dominican monk in Florence. 

His name was Antoninus Pierozzi.  What makes this conversation so unreal is that I was just reading the book by Marcello Simonetta about the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence - something that I wrote about for HBO, and years later learned that I could recall a lifetime in that city when all the events took place.

I had just mentioned this to Simonetta, when we did the podcast. Jennifer did not know about the book or about my email to him - but Luana clearly does. And she mentions it. 

And I talked about it - again the transcript is in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE.

The chapter is called THE SAINT.

Just another day at the office.

Hope this helps someone!

Another crowd filled podcast from our class on the flipside!  Luana Anders shows up to talk about an article I wrote on Medium about her pal Robert Towne on the flipside. (I sent Jennifer a video clip about Chinatown but not the article) https://medium.com/@richmartini/the-matrix-of-chinatown-and-some-amusing-anecdotes-about-those-involved-f3b494e8b468

Luana comes forward to say that the article is incomplete - because I barely scratched the surface of our conversations with Robert Towne and these other folks offstage. (The last paragraph references them).

So I knew immediately what Luana was complaining about, Jennifer could not.  Then when discussing how Robert influences my writing (he referenced an iconic scene from "The Great Escape" when Steve McQueen was bouncing a baseball against a wall over and over) - Robert talked about the fun of putting an idea in my head and then seeing it come to fruition.

Along those lines, Robert Redford showed up to remind Jennifer how he'd met her once, and how he was able to put that memory in her mind, since she'd forgotten about it. 

Then his pal Paul Newman showed up - someone we've spoken to before, but he also gave his two cent about playing pranks on the flipside.

Then Nikola Tesla showed up - the father of AC and radio waves - and we asked him about the amount of his conscious energy that he has brought back to the planet. (He referenced Musk, but said it was "around 3%")  That isn't a pejorative - and he could be referring to the OCD part of his journey on the planet. 

Then Charles Dickens stopped by - all of these folks we've chatted with before over the past ten years, even if Jennifer doesn't recall them - I do.  Robert Towne's dog Hira makes a funny comment as well.

Just another day at the office.

Enjoy!

Another mind bending session...

First Jennifer shared how she missed a car crash below her office by a few minutes - and Kobe Bryant stopped by to tell us how that works... how what appears to be stones in our path are sometimes put there so we don't do the wrong thing, or get caught in a situation we could avoid.

Then Amelia stopped by to talk about the past present and future along with our moderator Luana Anders - referring to how we change the future by addressing the past and how that alters our present.  A variation of the "be here now" theme.

Then Jesus showed up to answer some questions I had about a book that I'm reading by Elain Pagels, "Miracles and Wonder."  And as we asked him questions, Joan of Arc stopped by to talk about those angels that assist us - and in her case it's well documented that there were three that she identified - and she talks about them in this podcast.

It's alway mind bending, we never discuss in advance what we're going to talk about - and it really is whomever wants to show up or gets onto Luana's clipboard.

Hope this helps whomever it's meant to help.
