    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Sitting Bull

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Sitting Bull

    It's another mind bending session, this time with someone we spoke to some years ago.  Just to be clear about the past two weeks - it's as if people are aware of the book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND and how it's just come out - as it talks about the topics that they're interesting in addressing.
    Last week it was a surprise appearance by "Five" the Akashic librarian who has been seen by multiple people in different guided meditations - and multiple times by Jennifer in our podcasts.
    He's of smaller stature, but people report him being ageless. In the conversations with him, either that I've filmed as an observer, or directly speaking to him - it's unusual for him to make a "special trip" to our podcast and weigh in.
    The same goes for "Sitting Bull" - whom I asked to speak to years ago (it's in our book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE) and he did so, but it seemed reluctantly. Like he wasn't sure why we were asking him questions.
    In this case, he showed up - neither Jennifer nor I had been thinking about him, or asked him to stop by. But he felt it was important to talk about being aware of "beings" that are not "aliens" but are "entities" nonetheless.  And that includes trees, animals, objects in nature.
    We cannot conceptualize how everything is connected, but he wanted to stop by and talk about it.
    Mind bending stuff, as I like to say.
    Enjoy!

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, "Five" Luana, Sally, Bill, Chuck, Prince, Coleman Hough

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, "Five" Luana, Sally, Bill, Chuck, Prince, Coleman Hough

    Our once a year podcast from Jennifer's office in Manhattan Beach.  Another mind bending adventure, this time with numerous folks stopping by to wish me happy birthday - from Luana Anders to Charles Grodin, Bill Paxton, Prince - and the Akashic librarian "Five."  
    He talks a bit about how anyone can come and visit him and explore previous lifetimes.
    Charles Grodin points out that if he was still on the planet, he'd be taking me out for a birthday lunch or dinner - Chuck was the type of person who never let us pick up a tab when we were with him, and the one time we did, slipped the credit card to the waiter before we sat down - he was not happy about it.
    A wonderful charming fellow who never ceases to amaze or amuse.  Today's podcast includes an unusual conversation with my old pal Coleman Hough, who appears in my book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, an excerpt of her session is on the "MartiniZone" page on Youtube where she talks about her Parkinsons.
    What makes the video so compelling is that she stopped shaking altogether during the four to six hour session, but her symptoms came back afterwards. She makes a bold suggestion, that the same methodology we've heard from the flipside for helping with brain damage (CTE) would help people with Parkinson's. (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.)  I asked if she was aware of anyone on the planet who was using it, and she said "Michael J Fox." 
    That could be something his organization has looked into - if someone is reading this and knows someone who works there, please share this unusual idea - if they haven't already tried it.
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to help people with traumatic brain injuries, and as noted, we had Paul Allen, Junior Seau and Dave Duerson (the latter two who died from CTE and stopped by during one of our sessions) point out that "Joe Namath has cured his CTE using it."
    Look up the research about Joe - and while he's tried telling people about it, I have no clue whether anyone believes him or not. But folks on the flipside have mentioned it more than once (and its in the documentary "Talking to Paul Allen, Junior Seau and Dave Duerson" free on YouTube.)
    We also had birthday greetings from Bill Paxton, my old pal, Sally Kellerman, Luana Anders' best friend, and Charles Grodin - who was pals with Luana first.  They're all on the flipside now.
    Just another mind bending podcast as I'm found of saying - and sharing.
    For more information JenniferShaffer.com - the book they're talking about on the flipside is "Close Encounters of the Flipside Kind" and I'll be talking about it at Contact in the Desert in late May, early June.
    Thanks for tuning in!

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Matthew Perry, Linda and Jim Medlyn and "Five"

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Matthew Perry, Linda and Jim Medlyn and "Five"

    A field trip to the Akashic library.
    Another mind bending podcast.  Jennifer's mom passed away last week, and she took us on a field trip to visit the Akashic library.
    No other way to put it.
    First Prince showed up to talk a little bit about being connected to people, then Matthew Perry talked about a client that Jennifer had worked with that he showed up during their session.
    I asked Matthew if he was attending any classes on the flipside, and he replied "any that I can get my light into."  It's often repeated, but in this instance, he said he was taking the same class that Jennifer's father Jim mentioned a few years aback - astrophysics.  He mentions the same teacher who looks like "Ma Durga" (a Hindu deity with 8 arms that we've interviewed often on the podcast.
    I asked if we could speak to his teacher, and he said "she's very busy" but instead, the librarian known as "Five" showed up to take Jennifer and her parents into the library to look at an event from her youth.
    And she flashed back to when she was five years old, and recalled that during this birthday party, it's when her parents "recognized" that they had all lived there before, earlier, in upstate New York when the Mormons were leaving to travel west.
    However, Jennifer recalled being a toddler who died in that lifetime - and something made her realize they were siblings in that previous life - her parents were her brothers and sisters then.
    The librarian, who goes by the non denominational, non gender name of "Five" said that he was "doing a show" - like a wizard for the parents, but he wanted everyone in the audience to know that it doesn't require any magic to get to one's library. "Anyone can do it."
    He pointed out that since she had the image of traveling their with four others (Her parents and Hira, Robert Towne's dog who shows up often in our podcasts) they have a "stronger engine" to get there.
    I asked "Five" as many questions as I could think of until he stepped away and back to his occupation.
    Another mind bending journey into the flipside courtesy of the amazing Jennifer Shaffer. (Who can be found at JenniferShaffer.com) People who want to book at guided meditation with me can find me at MartiniProds at gmail, or fill out a form at RichardMartini.com
    Enjoy.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, her mom and dad Jim and Linda and her dog Chloe

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, her mom and dad Jim and Linda and her dog Chloe

     Jennifer went through a difficult week of loss, two key players in her life, her mom Linda and her 14 year old dog Chloe.  She mentioned that Chloe was going to leave the stage on the last podcast, but in the interim, her mom had a fall and passed away yesterday.
    The only reason we did the podcast today is to help Jennifer work through some of her grief.  By accessing her father Jim on the other side, he could help her, and then by speaking directly to her dog, Chloe, that was also helpful. As her dad Jim notes, "When we can move grief to nostalgia we begin the healing process." Good to hear that he and his wife are going on dates, and line dancing again. Good to hear that Chlore was reunited with her parents.
    Robert Towne's dog Hira makes a guest appearance, and we talk about how animals have a family on the flipside as well.
    Mind bending conversation.
    Prayers and condolences to Jennifer and her family. Love love.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Super Flipside Bowl with Junior Seau, Jim, Luana and Prince

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Super Flipside Bowl with Junior Seau, Jim, Luana and Prince

    It's that time of year again - the Super Duper Bowl, and we have a super duper podcast to enjoy.
    Some years ago, we were just starting this research, and the Microsoft found Paul Allen passed away.  So as an experiment, I asked three people we'd spoken to on the flipside, who knew him, to come forward and help us chat with Paul. 
    At the time I didn't know that we could "invite anyone" - but figured if we could invite Paul, he'd be more comfortable with some of his pals.  Much to my chagrin (It's in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE and in the documentary TALKING TO PAUL ALLEN, JUNIOR SEAU AND DAVE DUERSON on YouTube. 
    Paul Allen showed Jennifer that two football players who had suffered from CTE were there to greet him. Why? Because of Paul's brain institute.  Jennifer didn't know that there was an institute, I did - but they came forward to tell Jennifer that "Joe Namath had cured his CTE using oxygen therapy."
    She didn't get it the first two times they came through - because she doesn't know football, didn't know the Quarterback they were showing her. It was only after looking up what they were saying "Quarterback" "CTE" did I discover that Joe has done that.
    Watch the film, it's free.
    But today, Junior stopped by.
    As noted, after he showed up initially, I invited his widow Gina to do a session with Jennifer.  Jennifer didn't know who Junior or Gina was - but does so on camera in the film.
    It's uncanny.
    I don't expect anyone to race out and watch the film - but one day it will become an important piece of the puzzle. 
    So we are used to talking to Junior. (Who took his own life after suffereing from CTE. He and his widow had an amazing reunion, and I thank her for letting me film it. She's happily remarried, living a wonderful life, and if she runs across this podcast, this description, she'll know what I'm referring to. 
    Junior talks about how people on the flipside can attend the Super Bowl, but mostly through the participation of their loved ones onstage.  So if "Uncle Pete" or "Aunt Betty" seems to be rooting for one of the teams from the Flipside, do not be surprised.
    I asked our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders if anyone else wanted to come forward; and it was Prince.
    We haven't had him on the podcast as of late - but he wanted to point out that anyone can connect with him, anyone can call him for assistance. (Junior also said that "anyone can play in his touch (mental) football games" as well.
    At some point, I asked Prince about helping someone on this side play a song.  Now - if one listens carefully (and ignores me) they can hear Jennifer (who doesn't know chords or how to transpose guitar chords to piano as I do...)
    She says "He's saying "G"
    Then E minor. 
    Then D. (I heard C, but she clearly says D.)
    Then C.  
    It wasn't until after the podcast was over that I went to the internet to look for Prince songs that start with "G and then E minor."
    And then, to my dismay, shock - when I was putting up the subtitles, I could SEE WHAT JENNIFER SAYS.
    She says "G" then "E minor" then "D" then "C."  (later she adds "B and F)
    But look it up.
    G                                   Em    I never meant to cause you any sorrowD                                   C    I never meant to cause you any painG                                        Em    I only want one time to see you laughing  D                                           G  I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain.
     
    As I was writing this, I wrote to Jennifer and told her what the chords were for and she replied: "He said purple rain - just thought it was... whatever. Amazing!"
    Yes.
    It is amazing.  Next time I'll play it properly.
    Enjoy. #PRINCE #SUPERBOWL2024 #JUNIORSEAU

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Carl Weathers, Luana Anders and Jennifer's dad Jim

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Carl Weathers, Luana Anders and Jennifer's dad Jim

    This is one of the those podcasts where I know who it is that I'm talking to offstage, but Jennifer does not - until she realizes who it is.  It happens on camera, so no one can be in doubt about what it is we are doing.
    We have been doing this for eight years - weekly - where I invite someone to "get past the velvet rope" of the classroom of students that Luana Anders has amassed on the flipside, people who want to speak to those back on the planet, and she helps them to do so.
    Just the same way that Jennifer helps people on this side of the veil speak to their loved ones offstage, Luana helps people who've crossed over to communicate to us.
    In this case, my friend Carl Weathers came through. I mean Carl perhaps 20 years ago, both of us working with the ICT program out of USC, where people in the industry helped people in the defense department with different scenarios.  Carl and I sat next to each other on a plane ride and by the time we landed we were working on a screenplay together. (Yet to be made; "A Slice of the Devil's Pie.")
    That put me into his orbit which was working with someone who is incredibly generous of spirit.  I was startled to hear that he passed suddenly, I ran into him at the Director's Guild just a few months ago, and always considered we'd work together again some day.
    Well, today's the day.  Carl shows up in my home a couple of days ago, I heard him tease me about something - and decided to see if Luana might let him past her velvet rope to speak on our podcast.
    I'll let the podcast speak for itself.  I was finally able to use the captions generated by Adobe - and the result is best viewed on the YouTube channel MartiniZone.
    But for those in their cars, this is an unusual trip into the world of someone I know who is on the flipside, clearly alive, clearly aware of what he's observed.
    At some point, I revealed who Carl was by way of asking a series of questions to friends of his; #RandalKleiser, #SylversterStallone, #ArnoldSchwarzenegger, #AdamSandler, #JonFabreau, #PedroPascal, #RonGronkowski, #FanDeul, #SuperBowl2024.  He also talks about seeing old friends of his on the flipside, #MichaelJackson, #TinaTurner.  I asked him who he was surprised to see, and it was my old friend #CharlesGrodin who he shared laughs with.
    He has messages for his family, his friends, fans of #GreefKarga, #TheMandalorian" - he mentions the memes about his character WHEN JENNIFER HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, HAS NEVER SEEN THE SHOW, DOES NOT KNOW WHO GREEF KARGA IS.
    But he tells her about how he's amused by the memes of him from the show. (I put one into the video version of the podcast.) 
    For those visiting our podcast for the first time, Jennifer is a medium who works with law enforcement nationwide, she has been donating her time for this research weekly for 8 years (we have four books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE).  Jennifer is a well known intuitive medium who works out of Manhattan Beach, can be found at JenniferShaffer.com 
    I'm a best selling author (Kindle in their genre) of books about the afterlife (FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON and HACKING THE AFTERLIFE documentaries are on Amazon, along with ten other books)
    I am sorry to those who may be offended by talking to people offstage, but I've been doing it for 15 years on film, Carl was aware of it, and we talked about it when we weren't working on our screenplay that we pitched at a number of studios together. Maybe one day I'll turn it into a book - it's a fun story, had elements of his own life, and he would have been great in the lead role.
    But in the meantime, here I am posting a half hour interview that we did yesterday, a few days after his passing, and what he has to say is in line with all of the other research I've filmed. (The most recent book has 20 interviews with scientists, clergy, doctors accessing "Divine Councils in the Afterlife").
    If there's an value in sharing this information it's to
