So one of the great thinkers of the planet has left the stage. I got to know Robert Thurman when I audited his class at Columbia University.  I traveled with him to India and Tibet and got to know his wonderful soul mate Nena, mother of their children.

I have many great stories to tell about Robert - but in this case, this is part one of our conversation with Robert - we just didn't have the time today, but we did get a chance to speak with him.

THIS IS A RERUN OF A POPULAR EPISODE - ALSO BECAUSE MARILYN IS BEING FEATURED AT THE ACADEMY MUSEUM....

#kobebryant #KOBE, #JESUSCHRIST, #JESUS, #marilynmonroe

We weren't able to do a podcast tonight, "unforeseen circumstances" (isn't that funny for a podcast where we talk to the afterlife?) - but am rerunning one of our most popular podcasts, with the additional opening and subtitles, so people can "sing along with us." Just kidding. Here's the original liner notes: This was from a year ago.... For those not familiar with this podcast; Jennifer Shaffer is an intuitive medium who works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases. She does pro bono work daily for them, and once a week we get together and see what we can learn from the flipside.  We've been doing this weekly for 8 years, the last two on our podcast. I'm a filmmaker, have written and/or directed 8 theatrical feature films, a couple of documentaries.  

Some years ago, my best friend died in my arms and started coming to visit me. Instead of being freaked out by it (and her showing up to friends and family members) I started to dig into how that might be. That's resulted in 10 books (Flipside, etc) and four with Jennifer Shaffer.  In this edition, a number of people show up that we've spoken with before.

We interviewed Kobe just after his passing, it's the last chapter in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - where he talks about his journey, and I ask him questions in Italian. Eventually members of his family have met with Jennifer - so it's not unusual for us that he might stop by.   The construct is this; my friend who passed away is on the flipside, and has organized a "group meeting" or a class as we call it, not to teach folks on the planet, but to teach people on the flipside how to communicate using frequency, images, visualizations on the flipside.

Jennifer may get an image, let's say of a character from a TV show, and it may be their way of giving her a thought so that I could say, "Do you mean someone who shares the same name of that character in the TV show wants to speak to us?" That happens often. 

As noted, Jennifer is doing her best to translate what is coming to her. Like a translator at the UN, the people on the flipside are downloading a lot of information, and she does her best to catch the meaning, syntax and general idea of what someone wants to impart.

A number of people stop by who've been interviewed before; Prince ("I was addicted to jumping off pianos, which caused me to use pain killers"), Robin Williams ("Love Love"). Marilyn stops by - refers to something I was writing at MartiniZone.com the other day - and when I asked if she wanted to talk about the manner of her passing, she said she wanted to talk about how she had two children waiting for her on the flipside. Both whom had not come to term.    That concept has been repeated in the research - consistently.

A number of people in our podcast have mentioned it, the idea of "those we don't have are waiting for us on the flipside."  Harry Dean Stanton said the same thing - and I was able to verify it (but don't mention it in the podcast.) It's in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside."  Harry came through after he passed and before his memorial. I asked him what he wanted me to impart to his friends (as noted.)

He also said that when he passed, "He was in a room with five women" and when he got to the flipside, he was met by a "baby that he didn't have in life."   In other words, a child was there to greet him with this profound unconditional love.

At his memorial that I went to a week later, I asked someone who was with him at his deathbed to describe the scene. She said "There were five of us with him, all women."  I asked if he had said anything unusual while she was in the room. She said "Yes, he asked me to hand him the baby. But there was no baby in the room." I had heard THE SAME THING from Harry on the Flipside via Jennifer a week earlier.

At some point, the Alpha and Omega stops by - and mentions the one thing he wishes people would not do, that is "get freaked out by his name." (Jesus). I've had a number of interviews with him via various mediums, different hypnotherapy sessions, and multiple guided meditation sessions. 

As noted in the podcast, I've finished that book and am doing the audible as we speak. (SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED, AS HAS THE LATEST BOOK "SHE WAS NEVER LOST" about Amelia Earhart)  

As to books by scientists about how consciousness isn't confined to the brain, I recommend Dr. Greyson's AFTER, Dr. Tucker's BEFORE, Dr. Kelly's CONSCIOUSNESS UNBOUND.  In terms of the hypnotherapy research, I recommend the thousands of case studies from Dr. Helen Wambach (RELIVING PAST LIVES) Dr. Weiss (MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS) Michael Newton (JOURNEY OF SOULS.)  My latest book is DivineCouncils.com - where I invited 50 people, half whom had never heard of councils, who visited them, met their guides, teachers, etc.

Another fun episode. In this episode, we talk about the amazing adventure going to the set of Beyond Belief with Jimmy Church talking about Amelia Earhart. 

Amelia shows up to give her two cents about the show , then Prince shows up to remind us that June 7th is "Prince Day" - and reiterates we should dance, sing, play some of his tunes... why not? 

I ask a question to Stephen Hawking about his journey - he makes a joke about speeding away from the Epstein files... and I ask him about that as well.  Mind bending stuff. (not going down that path, but did ask him if he feels embarrassment or any reaction) - then "Five" steps in to rescue him and talk about the akashic library.

All in all another mind bending session.

enjoy!

Another mind bending conversation with the flipside courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders. 

Conversation begins with Luana talking about telepathic conversation - how people in dreams don't see lips moving but get information telepathically.  

The discussion revolves around the new film #Disclosure by #StevenSpielberg - and how scientists still believe that communication has to be audible, instead of telepathic (which is how mediums converse with people offstage.)

Luana gives "silent movies" as an example and shows Jennifer Charlie Chaplin.  I invite him to come forward and discuss the topic, and ask her how she visualizes him (first as the Little Tramp, then how he looked at age 18 in London.)

Then he reveals that he's already incarnated, at least a portion of his conscious energy is back and he says it's with a granddaughter that I had lunch with. Mind bending. 

A discussion of Spielberg's new film #DISCLOSURE and Luana reporting that Steven has been visited by beings from other planets or dimensions that he's not yet aware of.

Also how the idea of communicating telepathically is how aliens will communicate with us, rather than using math or physics. There's a conversation about Jennifer's recent "Wine and Spirits" she did with members of her daughter's sorority from college, and the value of learning information from people offstage at such a young age. 

Jennifer's scientist uncle William makes an appearance and talks about some other mind bending stuff.  There are a couple of spots left for a group session with Jennifer at UncorkedWineShops.com - and of course people can book a session with me at RichardMartini.com

The book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND includes conversations with people (aliens) offstage.

Fun to contemplate!

#ELVIS, #ELVISPRESLEY, #PRINCE, #ROBERTTOWNE, #LUANAANDERS, #JENNIFERSHAFFER, #RICHARDMARTINI, #FLIPSIDE, #HACKINGTHEAFTERLIFE,

It's another fun packed podcast talking about esoteric stuff. FIVE shows up - to talk about AI and about accessing the afterlife. Luana Anders is our moderator on the Flipside, and she breaks down what he's trying to explain.

Five is the "chief librarian" on the Flipside, the head of the Akashic records. I first met him while filming someone in Scott De Tamble's office in the book IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE, then he makes an appearance in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE.

Then he started showing up on our podcast introducing himself as FIVE. "The Master Librarian" - at first he seemed busy and uninterested in our podcast. Since then, no other way to put it, he seems to like to stop by.

Prince stopped by again - and we noted that it was twice in two weeks. He wanted to talk about Prince Day - a celebration on his birthday - which neither Jennifer nor I had ever heard of.

I looked it up during the podcast and apparently it is a thing with people celebrating the Minneapolis native wearing purple and playing his tunes.

A general discussion ensued about Warren Beatty who is still every much on the planet, but is "already hanging out with his friends on the flipside." It sounds confusing but it's simply that we "bring only a portion of our conscious energy to our lifetime" and as we get older, and we need less conscious energy - the more we can hang out with our pals.

As noted, during my interview with Jack Tracey, a friend's dad who I verified details about prior to the session - he was in hospice care in Arizona with Alzheimers. However he was happy to describe what's going on - he said "90% of his conscious energy is already offstage."  He said the ten percent he's left in the hospital was like leaving a leg in the pool.

I knew Jack well - he had many homes with pools. 

Elvis stopped by as well, we asked him some questions about his journey (he was with his daughter and grandson) and he was happy to weigh in on Baz Luhrmann's new film. 

Happy Prince Day!

You just never know who's going to show up to this podcast.

In today's adventure Prince shows up to talk about the hierarchy of the afterlife. Prince talks about how people onstage have a belief in hierarchy - which includes fame, wealth, power, etc... and how offstage there is no hierarchy.

However, offstage people respect people's "age" or how many lifetimes they've had, and the wisdom they carry.

I asked some questions about who greeted Prince on the flipside, and he said it was Beethoven. I asked him to describe that process, and he said he saw him, then was sitting next to him - and he was "playing a song in a minor key" which I assumed might be the Moonlight Sonata (In C#minor)

Prince said that was the case.  Then Jennifer's father Jim stopped by with two teachers from the flipside - one is Ma Durga who while being known on the planet as an 8 armed deity (some religious folks consider her to be 10 armed, but every time we've spoken to her it's been 8.  She said that she had incarnated once as an octopus, also as a girl on Earth - and liked being able to use her many arms for teaching purposes.

(That's what was reported.)  Five self identifies as the head Akashic librarian - and for fans of the books, know that Five shows up often in the text as well as on the podcast.

The questions and answers all revolved around the aspect of examining consciousness in the afterlife, and also the idea that AI is something that uses libraries the same way that we do when we're offstage.

Like I say, mind bending information.

BEST OF HACKING THE AFTERLIFE

These are excerpts from a number of podcasts - with conversations with people offstage about how things work.

 Charles Grodin, Robert Towne, Phil Hartman, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix stop by briefly

Prince stops by, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, Robin Williams, and two animals stop by - Hira, the dog and companion of screenwriter Robert Towne, and Mr. Bailey, the companion and pet of Luana Anders.

Both have insight into how animals incarnate, how consciousness functions.  It's a free wheeling discuss with lots of different concepts flying around. 

Someone requested us doing a conversation with animals - and out of the many podcasts, conversations where animals showed, up, these were a few with a dog I knew (Hira) and walked for 3 years for my boss Robert Towne..

Hira showed up during a session we did with Robert. He was a skeptic until I asked Hira to tell Robert something I didn't know, that only he could remember. Jennifer said he was showing her challenging a buffalo on Catalina. Something only Robert could have known.

Luana is our moderator on the flipside, and is responsible for teaming me and Jennifer up - and also was close friends with any number of people who show up (Charles Grodin, etc).  

It's hard to characterize this as anything but an extended conversation about how consciousness functions or incarnation works.

Enjoy. 

As I've noted in the past, we aren't in charge of the guest list.  In this episode, the late David Wilcock makes an appearance.  As I mention in the podcast, I asked him how that happened - if he was invited or wanted to step forward.

I had some rudimentary questions about his journey - the press reported him leaving the stage voluntarily - but he says cryptically (no other way to put it) that his death was something planned by him, because it would be part of his timeline in the future.

That's mind bending to report - but it is in the research. That we may have dozens of lifetimes and each one affects the others, and sometimes events happen in one story line that show up in later episodes and are resolved.

But in his case, he reported being back home - where everyone goes when getting offstage - and that he was greeted by his father. 

Then Michael Newton came forward - Jennifer always refers to him as "Morton" because the first time he did (It's in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Amazon Prime or Gaia) she said "Your friend Morton is here."  I didn't know who she meant, and somehow she'd morphed "Michael Newton" into Morton.

Michael spoke a little about his journey - what it was like to be home with his soul mate Peggy, whom he was married to for decades, and suggested that his "next lifetime" would be one that included being more on the beach.

Brief appearances by Prince - as this week was the 10th anniversary of his passing, and Michael Jackson whom we asked his opinion of the new film. He said "there's more of the story to be told."

Fans of our work, the book TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE and BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE goes into more detail about what he means, which includes all of the things associated with his journey.

Looks like his fans worldwide are eager to see him again, as the film is playing worldwide, and Michael said "that will cause a need for healing because it will bring up those issues again."

Prince spoke about music being a frequency and love being a frequency, and how by tapping into our frequency we can tap into his.

Jennifer's off to Florida (Boca Raton) for an event in May, then to NYC - back in early May for another "Wine and Spirits" event in Manhattan Beach. (see JenniferShaffer.com)

For those interested in doing a session with myself, I can be found at RichardMartini.com

Thanks for tuning in!

I went through four different interviews with #AmeliaEarhat #amelia #earhart over the past few years - dating back to 2022 - before the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA was published.

In these clips- Amelia references things that Jennifer doesn't know, couldn't know - including a citation from a sentence in the book (which I then read for the audience) where Amelia from the Flipside, is saying that it's important for the audience to hear.

Our loved ones don't die. I'm sorry that's what the research, data, footage shows. Amelia Earhart knew where she was - she was never lost. The US military knew where she was, they found her plane on June 18, 1944. I've done four decades of dedicated research - I'm listed in the credits of both Diane Keaton's version and Hilary Swank's version - both didn't tell her story.

We have. From her point of view. There were many secrets in her life. They're all in the book. The book is available at Amazon in Kindle, Audible, Paperback and Hardcover. It will soon be at Barnes and Noble as well.

If you have a curiosity about her - the book reveals who she was, in her own words. Not only her poetry, but her life and journey - and she deserves to be honored for her sacrifice. She never has been honored in this way. She was never lost. The US knew she was on Saipan. The Japanese incarcerated her.

She knew where she was. Now the world gets to know. #amelia #ameliaearhart, #electra, #electraheart, #saipan, #WWII, #USMarines, #veterans,

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.
