Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Amelia Earhart

For people who are aware of how Jennifer and I met, there is an extended three hour interview with Amelia Earhart about her life, her journey in the book "Hacking the Afterlife." 

We were in the midst of answering questions from viewers (who ask them via Martinizone.com on YouTube, or email at MartiniProds at gmail) when I asked our friend Luana Anders, moderator of our group, if there was anyone that we needed to speak with.

Amelia showed up to give me some encouragement.  Literally to "not give up" on telling her story, which is an amazing story.  There's a brief mention of it in this interview, as well as a reference to a website I built after my trip to Saipan (EarhartOnSaipan.com) 

As I've said before, and will repeat again, I'm not interested in arguing theory, beliefs or opinion when it comes to research. There are over 200 eyewitnesses that saw her after she "disappeared" - I've interviewed or gathered information on dozens who saw her on Saipan, saw her incarcerated, didn't know who she was at the time, but learned later on.

I have eyewitnesses (15 new ones) from Saipan, as well as a dozen GI's who found her plane, found her briefcase, found her passport on Saipan.  These fellows are on camera and got a lifetime of annoying dismissal from friends and family about what they saw - US Marines called "liars" by people who believe they didn't see what they saw or didn't report what they reported.

Again - not rehashing theories. I have always focused on eyewitness reports and following them up to see if they could be corroborated, or that the could be proven to be accurate.  Then about ten years ago, I realized I had one medium approach me not knowing anything about my research and told me specific details.

A few years later, I supplied the questions via another medium - as noted in this podcast. And then, I interviewed her for three hours via Jennifer Shaffer - and that transcript is in the book "Hacking the Afterlife."  I'm sure people have strong opinions about what happened to her - I'm just stating clearly that none of this is opinion, theory or belief. I'm reporting. Consistent reports that have been corroborated by eyewitnesses.

And when I say that "People think they know her story, but they don't know her story" - I'm not exaggerating.  They do not know her story and I hope one day to tell it.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and her friend Chef Denise

Jennifer lost a friend a few days ago, and we took the opportunity to chat with her about her journey and path. 

We also took some questions from the audience, encouraged to submit them to MartiniProds at gmail - not to take requests for readings, but questions about process that someone on the flipside might be able to answer.

Today's question was "How do emotions such as love or grief affect frequency and communication with loved ones on the other side?"

Thanks for tuning in.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer interviewing Luana Anders

This is a podcast that's more about the process of how we communicate with the flipside.

In it, we ask our moderator on the flipside, the former actress Luana Anders about her journey - her life is detailed in the book "Flipside" but in this we get around to asking her about her council and she talks about three of the 12 individuals in it.

One who represents Peace, one who represents Energy, and a third that represents Compassion.  Luana was a lifelong Buddhist, so the idea that her lead council member might resemble a famous Chinese philosopher is par for the course. 

If one wants to understand how it is we can do this kind of exploration, recommend reading "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" for more indepth treatment of the topic. Thanks for tuning in.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, David Bowie, George Harrison and Dick Lindheim

Another wild session with Jennifer. 

We began to chat about the inauguration, and David Bowie stopped by to talk about the music and musicians.  Jennifer wasn't aware of what Jon Bon Jovi played, just that he performed.  She was shown a photograph of someone like Yogananda associated with that song - I asked if we could speak to the fellow who wrote it.  

George had a message for his wife Olivia as well as for his pal Russ, who is a friend of mine.  We then spoke about the process of how people on the flipside pass along messages to their loved ones, and our moderator Luana Anders stepped in to direct that conversation. She spoke about her relationship with her father - something that is not public knowledge, but I was aware of it.

Finally, we had a chat with a friend who passed a few days ago, former Paramount TV EVP Dick Lindheim.  I've known Dick for 20 years, and he had some interesting and profound things to say about his journey into the flipside in this hour long podcast.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, a Doctor friend and his friend Jesus

One of Jennifer's friends, a Doctor passed away a few days ago, and we took the opportunity to ask him about his experience reaching the flipside. 

He said that "Jesus" was one of the people who was there to greet him. 

We asked him questions about his life, his passing and the experience on the flipside, but also took the opportunity to interview the fellow who greeted him.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Maverick and politicians concerned about the country

This is going to be hard for those who haven't read any of the books ("Backstage Pass to the Flipside" or "Architecture of the Afterlife.") 

I can only say that Jennifer and I never discuss who we are going to talk to our about. And in light of the fact that we've spoken to former Presidents before, I figured they might want to chat about the events in the Capitol yesterday.

I wasn't surprised that John McCain (Maverick) stopped by, but that led to a free wheeling all encompassing discussion that will no doubt offend pretty much everyone who is not familiar with this research, or what happens on the flipside.

We speak to and with, in no particular order, John, former Presidents Reagan, Truman stop by to put in their two cents. JFK has something to say as well as Jackie. Malcolm X stopped by as well as Martin Luther King.

I can only suggest considering this a fantasy if one has never listened to this podcast before. I would consider allowing that's its possible that our loved ones don't disappear.  But I would recommend reading up on the topic before passing judgment on what they have to say - which is in line with the reports in "Flipside" "It's a Wonderful Afterlife," "Hacking the Afterlife" and "Architecture of the Afterlife."

Jennifer and I had interviewed a number of these people before - but not Truman or Malcolm X.  I apologize in advance for not asking more and deeper questions of them... but this is literally on the fly as they stop by. 

The point of our podcast is to demonstrate how easy it is to reach out to our loved ones - and no, neither of us discussed this session prior.  It is what it is.  I hope their message about coming together and using this opportunity to take out the broom, and to focus on loving our neighbors as ourselves - is taken to heart.

And the two people Luana refer to in her answer to my question - absolutely accurate - and Jennifer has no clue as to whom I'm referring to. 

Hope this helps people on the planet when they come across it.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Joe Ranft talking about Pixar’s Soul

Joe Ranft was one of the most prolific storytellers in the Pixar canon.

Working at first for Eric Larsen at Disney, working on Lion King and Beauty and the Beast among others, then moving over to work with Jon Lassiter at Pixar as the head of the story dept - Joe was responsible for the story's and characters in Toy Story, Bugs Life, Cars and others.

Unfortunately a car accident took his life in 1995. He left behind his family, and brother who works in the industry.  

Having seen the film "Soul" and realizing how much of a documentary it is - meaning that a number of the story points are also story points in the "Flipside" research I've been doing for over a decade (the Great Beginning, classrooms of newly formed souls, guides and teachers who watch over them, how a person comes from there to hear - how we choose our journeys in advance based on the lessons we need to or want to learn, etc) I thought for our New Year's podcast Joe would be an ideal candidate.

He has messages for his family and friends, including Jon Lassiter, including Pete Docter, co writer and director of Soul.  For those who don't know who he is, they should know him - he's one of the "mentors" for 22 in the film "Soul" that's posted on the wall her list of mentors she's "defeated."  

The name of the main character appears to be named after Joe - and from their review (the flipside review of the film) they loved it.

They said "It was more accurate than you think" as well as giving it a 98% accuracy for "how to explain it to people on the planet. (however, pointing out that once one is on the flipside, it's about 15% accurate in terms of that more vast experience.)  You want to talk to the flipside? Anyone can, and this is just one of the 42 examples from this year. Happy New Year. 

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders talking about how to connect to the Flipside

Jennifer and I discuss the process of how mediums and others can connect with their loved ones on the other side with or without help from those on the planet, assisting those on the other side to make the connection.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Elvis, John Lennon and Luana Anders

It's our 40th episode! 

How about that?  Well, this is no different than the others - mind bending and just about as out there as we can get.

Last night I happened to catch Tom Hanks talking about his movie he's doing with Baz Luhrmann in Australia, where he plays Colonel Tom Parker. Went to sleep without a thought about it, and had the impression that Luana told me we'd have a "surprise guest" in today's episode.

To be clear, we've seen Elvis before in our class - and we did invite him into the chair and interviewed him extensively.  Who was there to greet him when he crossed over (his mom) and other important things in his life.  It's in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" - and we also interview Colonel Parker (not a Colonel, and according to Tom's interview a rather shady character) - but aside from the public perception of who his manager was, both the interview in the book and this interview paint a different portrait.

It's not opinion being expressed here. This is live, off the cuff, improvised, whatever happens happens kind of reporting. I had no idea, zero idea what we'd find in today's episode and even forgot what last week's was until she mentions it.

Elvis said he was "introduced to our class by John Lennon" - which is repeated in the book.  It's not like "all the celebrities hang out together" - it's a frequency issue, and those artists or musicians hang out with other folks who are using the same frequency.  If one looks at the Backstage Pass books they'll find quite a few musicians there.

I directed Ray Charles in the film "Limit Up" which Luana and I cowrote, so Ray has introduced us to quite a few of his friends because he knew ... well... everyone.  And through one we can know the other.

I know this interview might ruffle some feathers - but again, it's live, none of it planned, and Jennifer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. She even helped NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton with a case (solved, ask him about it sometime.)

We are demonstrating that anyone can do this - don't need a medium, but it helps.  However, as noted, anyone can speak to their loved ones on the flipside, and apparently anyone they'd like to chat with.  Stick around to the end, where Elvis sums up his relationship with Tom Parker. Insightful.

Hacking the Afterlife with Chuck Yeager, John Lennon, Aretha and Miriam of Magdala

It's been a couple of weeks since Jennifer and I did a session.

As noted during this one, I had the impression that Chuck Yeager wanted to speak to us, and heard his name in my kitchen. As I always do, I suggest that person "Make a reservation with Luana, who is the holder of our clipboard."

This morning, I had asked Luana in my mind on the flipside, "So who should we speak with?" and Chuck's name appeared as an answer.  I did a little cursory research about him - and the show is verbatim.

At the end of the show, there's a moment when Jennifer's friend texts her, and she asks "I had the feeling you were speaking to Chuck Yeager" but had no clue as to why that would be.  But she texted it literally as I was reaching for the off button - I had Jennifer read it live on the podcast.

I refrained from editing the pauses in this episode.  I normally trim them - but I want people to realize that I'm not forcing these answers. She didn't know who Chuck Yeager was, and he told her he was the guy who "broke the sound barrier."  Later, I ask him how he learned about our class, and claimed it was John Lennon who told him.

That's not my theory or opinion - it's just what was reported. Since we've interviewed John before in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" and I'm friends with one of his sons, I took the opportunity to ask him a couple of questions. 

Also a surprise visit by Aretha Franklin who is also in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" (where she asks us to reach out to her niece to find her handwritten will, which we did.)  Then there's a conversation I had with a woman named Miriam - I asked about her in the fashion I did because I'm writing a book that includes interviews with the alpha and omega - and for those familiar with "Hacking the Afterlife" book, they won't be surprised by these question and answers. I was.
