Hacking the Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer, David Bowie, Prince, Hira and Luana Anders

Another mind bending podcast with Jennifer Shaffer.  In this instance, we begin with a conversation about a phone call that I received just prior to the podcast, with a friend of the moderator on the flipside (Luana Anders) calling me as we were about to go on air.

So when Luana references that phone call on the podcast, she's referring to the process of how they do that - a week earlier, on a previous podcast, Luana gave Jennifer a message to give to me, I emailed this person with a message, and instead of replying via email, this person called me at the exact moment I was about to push "record."

So we talked a bit about how they orchestrate those things on the flipside. Then Luana, as an example, showed Jennifer a bunch of images of people we've talked to, David Bowie, Prince, etc - so I took that opportunity to ask some questions about process.

In David's case, he's come through when requested in the past - I had some questions for him, because Chris Cornell said that David greeted him on the flipside, made him feel "at home" - and I had looked up the research to find that Chris had said the same thing in an article a decade earlier - that David had come up to him at a music event, where he felt out of place, and how David made him feel at home.

In this case, he said that his wife Imam has "opened up to the possibility that he has reached out to her" (I have no way of knowing how accurate that is) but previously when asked "how he reached out to her" he mentioned leaving little signs around, like a matchbook, or a scent, or a song... but at the time she was grieving and couldn't make that connection.

Again - no way of knowing how accurate that was, but at his request (otherwise, why bother?) I did send links to a couple of our talks, to the text of the interviews so that she could read them if someone knew her wanted to pass along the messages to her.

As I say in the podcast, it's likely one of her close friends mentioned something about seeing him in a dream, or him giving "new information" which opened up the door to realizing he not only still exists, but is learning, growing, having fun on the flipside.

Then Prince made a grand entrance (just kidding, he was there first) and spoke a bit about how he influences friends, or those who are thinking of him, or need to think about him, because he's trying to help them.  

He reminded Jennifer of how her dog Chloe, not much longer for the world, is a source of communication with the flipside. When a message comes through our animals or pets, we don't judge them as harshly - in that vein of "I don't believe it."

Then an odd discussion about sex on the flipside.

Enjoy!
