Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Amelia Earhart, Steve Jobs and Napoleon

As all in all of our podcasts, Jennifer and I have no clue who we're going to speak to during our session.  Sometimes I ask or invite people to come forward, and sometimes Jennifer states up front "so and so is here."

In today's podcast, we asked Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, to let us know if she wanted to bring someone forward or talk about process.

Jennifer said "she wants to speak to you about your next book."  I am writing my next book, it's kind of what I do - it's a little afield of the normal topics that I work on, because it focuses on those people who have had experiences with ETs - either seeing them, or talking to them.

I assumed she meant she wanted to talk about that... "My next book."

But then Jennifer said "Amelia Earhart is here." For those who know, Amelia has shown up before on the podcast, and the initial interview mentioned in the podcast can be found in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE. In it, I give the details of how that came about to be, how I had interviewed three different mediums and asked Amelia the same questions and got the same answers.

But then as Amelia was speaking about "this being my next project" (I've been trying to get my filmed version off the runway for some years now) I realized what she was saying. That a "book about Amelia" is going to be my next book.

Then I asked if it should be a book based on what the research says about what happened to Amelia, or should it be a story about my journey to that research.

And she said it should be about my journey.

Which is amazing to hear - as it saves me the effort of going down another road instead. So that's why I mentioned in the podcast that everyone can do the same by asking their loved ones on the flipside to assist in their decisions.

Then Jennifer mentioned Steve Jobs, so he stopped by to tease her a bit, since she's had him show up in many sessions (dating back to before I met her).  

That led me to ask a question about his last words, which then led me to ask Napoleon about his last words.

I know it's hard to fathom, but Napoleon has been to visit before, I was given a question to ask him by an Oscar winning screenwriter, and he answered it.  Then I saw the film recently, and asked him his opinion about the film.

What makes it uncanny is that Jennifer has NOT SEEN THE FILM but is answering my questions from Napoleon's perspective - who has seen the film.  He gives it a "thumbs down" in general, but has compliments for the work of Joaquin Phoenix.  He describes specifically what he liked about his performance - which again is mind bending as Jennifer has not seen it.

Everything he says is accurate about the film, including the reluctance of Josephine to accept him as her new husband (she was married, lost her husband in the Revolution.)

I recommend the film, but after you've seen this interview, and then come back and listen to it again.

MIND BENDING.

Thanks for tuning in!
