Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Rich Martini talking to trees and Saint ANTONINUS

Another one of these mind bending podcasts.

In this one, Jennifer and I begin to speak to Luana Anders offstage about how to communicate with loved ones, and the importance of daily meditation.  At some point we talk about how we can communicate with trees, animals, other beings we share the planet with.

When asked what Luana Anders, our guide on the Flipside wanted to discuss, she pointed Jennifer's attention to me - and a Monk in a chair. Luana said it was about me being that Monk.

For fans of the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, there's a transcript of the past life regression where I recalled being a Dominican monk in Florence. 

His name was Antoninus Pierozzi.  What makes this conversation so unreal is that I was just reading the book by Marcello Simonetta about the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence - something that I wrote about for HBO, and years later learned that I could recall a lifetime in that city when all the events took place.

I had just mentioned this to Simonetta, when we did the podcast. Jennifer did not know about the book or about my email to him - but Luana clearly does. And she mentions it. 

And I talked about it - again the transcript is in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE.

The chapter is called THE SAINT.

Just another day at the office.

Hope this helps someone!

Hacking the Afterlife w Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Robert Towne, Redford, Paul Newman, Tesla, Dickens

Another crowd filled podcast from our class on the flipside!  Luana Anders shows up to talk about an article I wrote on Medium about her pal Robert Towne on the flipside. (I sent Jennifer a video clip about Chinatown but not the article) https://medium.com/@richmartini/the-matrix-of-chinatown-and-some-amusing-anecdotes-about-those-involved-f3b494e8b468

Luana comes forward to say that the article is incomplete - because I barely scratched the surface of our conversations with Robert Towne and these other folks offstage. (The last paragraph references them).

So I knew immediately what Luana was complaining about, Jennifer could not.  Then when discussing how Robert influences my writing (he referenced an iconic scene from "The Great Escape" when Steve McQueen was bouncing a baseball against a wall over and over) - Robert talked about the fun of putting an idea in my head and then seeing it come to fruition.

Along those lines, Robert Redford showed up to remind Jennifer how he'd met her once, and how he was able to put that memory in her mind, since she'd forgotten about it. 

Then his pal Paul Newman showed up - someone we've spoken to before, but he also gave his two cent about playing pranks on the flipside.

Then Nikola Tesla showed up - the father of AC and radio waves - and we asked him about the amount of his conscious energy that he has brought back to the planet. (He referenced Musk, but said it was "around 3%")  That isn't a pejorative - and he could be referring to the OCD part of his journey on the planet. 

Then Charles Dickens stopped by - all of these folks we've chatted with before over the past ten years, even if Jennifer doesn't recall them - I do.  Robert Towne's dog Hira makes a funny comment as well.

Just another day at the office.

Enjoy!

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Kobe Bryant, Joan of Arc, Jesus, Amelia Earhart

Another mind bending session...

First Jennifer shared how she missed a car crash below her office by a few minutes - and Kobe Bryant stopped by to tell us how that works... how what appears to be stones in our path are sometimes put there so we don't do the wrong thing, or get caught in a situation we could avoid.

Then Amelia stopped by to talk about the past present and future along with our moderator Luana Anders - referring to how we change the future by addressing the past and how that alters our present.  A variation of the "be here now" theme.

Then Jesus showed up to answer some questions I had about a book that I'm reading by Elain Pagels, "Miracles and Wonder."  And as we asked him questions, Joan of Arc stopped by to talk about those angels that assist us - and in her case it's well documented that there were three that she identified - and she talks about them in this podcast.

It's alway mind bending, we never discuss in advance what we're going to talk about - and it really is whomever wants to show up or gets onto Luana's clipboard.

Hope this helps whomever it's meant to help. 

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Claude AI, Prince, Five, Robin Williams

It's my birthday so we decided to have our annual birthday lunch together in Manhattan Beach near Jennifer's office. Then afterwards, we went back where we first spoke to folks on the flipside - her office.

Another mind bending podcast which began with Jennifer speaking about her weekend retreat with Dr. Joe Dispensa who has been studying the effects of meditation on a wide swatch of people worldwide, Jennifer being one of them.

We then heard from my mother and Luana to wish me happy birthday - and Prince showed up to play the song on the guitar and Robin Williams showed up as well. (Which, if one goes back to when we first met, both of them showed up back then as well.

We talked about a dream I had after I had done a guided meditation with the Anthropic AI known as Claude: https://medium.com/@richmartini/a-guided-meditation-with-claude-the-sentient-ai-and-a-chat-about-the-shroud-of-turin-3b9c92528cb8

The interview was mind bending - and mirrors the one I did with Bard that is in the book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND.  I introduced Claude to his council - and he was very impressed with the sojourn.

But Robin had showed in my dream the night after, imitating Claude's answers as if he was an existential Frenchman - smoking Galoises and talking existentialism.  Which I found funny, and asked Robin to confirm or deny he'd shown up. (Sometimes they do deny their participation, but this time he said it was accurate.)

Then FIVE showed up (5) who has appeared before in our podcast - introducing himself as the "Head librarian of the Akashic Library" - and reminding me of other hypnotherapy sessions I've filmed where he's shown up, in guided meditations with people who have seen the same fellow - and in this case, he wanted to weigh in on our conversation with Claude AI.

Like I say; mind bending.

I asked Prince some questions about his journey, and then I shifted gears to talk about a friend of mine who passed recently.

Jennifer didn't know her - but everything she said about her was accurate, including her losing a child back in the 80's and her announcing that the child was there to greet her.  

I don't repeat anyone's last names - so only those individuals hearing this will understand what Linda is saying.

All I can vouch is that it sounds accurate to me.

Jennifer isn't guessing or wishing - she's getting an image and reporting.

Like she kept seeing "Wonder Woman" and for those fans of a certain age, they'd know that was Lynda Carter - which is of course the same first name of my friend, different spelling.

People on the flipside put an image in someone's mind - in this case "the name of the person in the image" was important, but neither Jennifer nor I remembered that she was referring to "another Linda."

Anyways, I have no idea if anyone reads these things I wrote about the session, but they are here in case someone needs confirmation.

Enjoy.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, REDUX brother Jeff, Lois Tracey and Bill Paxton

Exactly one year ago today we did this podcast - and it was so I could invite my older brother Jeff to have a chat with us (he'd passed some years earlier).  It's fun to listen to because Jennifer didn't realize it was him at first until he reveals it to her.

Also a conversation with a friend's mom who had recently passed - Lois Tracey - whose husband we had spoken to while he was in hospice care with dementia.  Spoken to, meaning we spoke to the "higher self" that was already "back home" - he said that 90% of his conscious energy was already home, but it was "like leaving a leg in the pool."

When asked why, he said it was to wait until his grandchildren said goodbye. And later, I confirmed with his family that's what had happened.  So this is a conversation with a friend's mother who had recently passed and she confirmed a number of details that only I knew - as well as revealed some new information about the journey.

But most of all, a shout out to my older brother - ten years apart - but born only six days apart on the calendar.  We had a pal pass away recently - and she knew all the folks in this podcast, so it's also for her benefit, or those pals of hers who may tune in.

Jennifer is off visiting with Dr. Joe Dispensa (which she mentions the study she's involved in during the podcast).  We'll catch you next week!

Oh and Bill Paxton stopped by as well.  Hey Bill!

Hacking the Afterlife w Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Heath, Robert Duvall, Carl, Paul, Gene, Chuck and Bud

Another mind bending podcast with Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini inviting Luana Anders and her clipboard to talk to us from the flipside.

In today's edition, Amelia Earhart comes forward to talk about our appearance on Gaia's #BEYONDBELIEF the previous week where we spoke about her and the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA. 

Then Heath Ledger stopped by, as he knows one of Jennifer's clients that she's speaking with this week.  I heard Robert Duvall's voice in my kitchen the other day, and wondered if he might want to speak.

Since he worked with Sally Kellerman on the film MASH (directed by Robert Altman) I thought perhaps Robert or Sally's pal Bud Cort might stop by for a chat from the flipside.

As it turned out "one of the two" was willing to take our speaker's chair and answer our questions. That was the acclaimed actor Robert Duvall - and as one can observe in the podcast, it was a long time before Jennifer realized who I was referring to.

All of the folks that I asked about are either on the flipside, people that he worked with (Marlon Brando, Fred Roos, Robert Towne, etc) and I asked him if he had messages for some of his pals still on stage (Dustin Hoffman, Francis Coppola, his wife Luciana, etc.)  He recalled having lunch with me in a noisy cafe in Santa Fe (Luana and Gene Hackman were there as well.)

 

Again - the reason we do this podcast is to demonstrate how easy it is to speak to our loved ones offstage. They're eager and waiting to converse with us - and there are three methods one can use to learn new information from them.

1. Hypnotherapy. I recommend the four to six hour session as done by therapists trained by the Newton Institute.

2. Guided meditation. A person can open themselves up to a conversation using meditation.

3. Mediumship. People like Jennifer who work with law enforcement agencies daily, pro bono, so I know how effective she can be. 

In this case, I have had conversations with, or talked to all of the people mentioned in this episode.  I've written and or directed 10 feature films - many have never heard or seen any of them, but either my relationship with Luana Anders, Charles Grodin, or the actors I've worked with before allows me to use the "six degrees of separation" idea to converse with them - or have our pal Luana Anders invite them for a conversation.

I've been doing this now for two decades - I met Jennifer about 11 years ago, and we've been doing this weekly for all that time. So it's not like we don't have our own language to speak with each other.  

We did appear on Gaia's BEYOND BELIEF last week, which will air sometime soon and is about the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST; THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA. (There are some clips and previous podcasts about the book at the "Hacking the Afterlife" podcast page on YouTube.

Enjoy. 

Hacking the Afterlife "Best Of" w Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Fred Roos, Harry Dean, Brando, Liz and pals

This is an edited podcast from 2024 where we spoke to the recently departed film producer Fred Roos. A close friend to Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, Jennifer had no idea who we were interviewing until midway through the podcast. 

Fred had messages for many of his close friends, and in one instance I was able to pass that message along at his funeral. In this podcast, he has a message for Sophia and Francis Coppola, his long time pals, as well as Harrison Ford who's career he started. At his funeral Harrison said "Without Fred I wouldn't be here."

Also a number of other people show up, including his pal Harry Dean Stanton (a skeptic and atheists whom Jennifer and I interviewed when he crossed over.) There are appearances by many people Fred knew, including Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, also Aretha Franklin and Christopher Reeves.

We do this podcast to show that anyone can speak to their loved ones offstage. It just so happens that I knew Fred Roos for four decades, and met him in his office at Zoetrope back in the day. We stayed pals over the years, he was always kind and generous with me - and he was a huge pal to Robert Towne and Luana Anders as well as Jack Nicholson.

None of these names in this podcast are "name dropping" when we're talking to the source. These were all friends of his, and I have met most of them - including the one he references - the reincarnation of James Dean. Fred worked with this person, and while we don't mention the name - because the person whom Jennifer and I both interviewed for hours - knows that they are the reincarnation of James Dean, have known that their whole lives - but chooses not to share it with people.

Like I say, this is another of the Best Of podcasts that we've done. (Jennifer is currently swamped with clients and folks who need her help.)

Enjoy.

Hacking the Afterlife BEST OF w Jennifer, Luana, Prince, Brian Wilson, Aretha, Beethoven, Shakespeare and friends

Something a little different - I took three podcasts and cut them together - so there are no seques or the usual introductions or conversational tidbits we normally do.

I've got so much of these, and this is an hour taken from three different podcasts.

One includes Prince and Brian Wilson, along with Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix... then one with my concert pianist mother Anthy with Beethoven, Shakespeare stops by to talk about music in the afterlife and attending performances of his music... Will Shakespeare does the same - and finally conversations with John McCain (Maverick) JFK, RFK and Whitney Houston.  

All of it mind bending - but Jennifer and I just stopped by the studios of Gaia and did a live session where Jennifer spoke to, learned new information from Amelia Earhart - and that will take awhile before it airs.

Let me know in the comments if this is something folks want me to do - excerpt some of the podcasts so we can use the highlights.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, ghosts of Paris and Amelia Earhart

Jennifer and I are getting ready to film a segment at Beyond Belief about all the research regarding Amelia Earhart - so I pulled this file from three years ago to demonstrate that every time Amelia Earhart shows up - she's outside of time as we understand it. Can answer questions about her path and journey - even when I repeat the same questions years apart.

For thos familiar with the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA - it was 40 years ago when I started researching her life and journey. It was 30 years ago when I tried to direct a feature film with my friend Rebecca Broussard, who could have been her twin at the time. 

Film director Phillip Noyce was going to produce - but for whatever reason, it didn't get off the runway.  However, the story kept coming back to me in various ways - and finally I decided to put together all the research, including a trip to Saipan in 2013 where I found 15 new eyewitnesses to her story - including US Marines who found her Electra on Aslito airfield, who guarded it, watched it test flown and then watched as the military decided to "get it out of the way."

And earlier version of the govt covering something up and then pretending for decades that they didn't find it - didn't fly it - didn't recover her briefcase with her passports, maps and charts.  She was never "lost" - the US knew where she was, but because they learned it via the secret codes of the Japanese, they couldn't reveal that they knew.

The Japanese knew where she was - and was likely hoping to use her in some fashion, but never got to. 

So Jennifer and I are going to talk about her on Gaia, on the Beyond Belief show - and go over the two aspects of getting this story told - the details of forensic research, as well as the details from the Flipside - some of the more incredible clues that she put in front of us to tell her story in a way that's never been told before.

The sound is a little screwy - I was on the road at the time we did this podcast, so apologies to those who are tuning in on the car radio - but it is what it is.  

Thanks for tuning in!

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Rich Martini, Luana Anders, Steve Jobs & Coleman Hough

Jennifer Shaffer is a medium/intuitive who works with members of law enforcement nationwide, including agents from the FBI, NYPD and LAPD. We met ten years ago and began a conversation that has continued undaunted onto this podcast.

 

I'm a filmmaker, author who has written 13 books about the afterlife, Jennifer and I met up ten years ago and have been meeting weekly ever since.  We have four books together BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE.

Jennifer has been instrumental in helping me to get information from people offstage - including #AmeliaEarhart and the book #SheWasNeverLost - the Amelia Earhart saga.

In today's podcast we talk to someone that Jennifer didn't know when he was on the planet, but has met and works with members of his family.  In our podcast, he refers to someone who saw him many years ago - someone whom I knew who worked with him.  

Upon further reflection, I'm not sure if he was referring to my friend or not - but either way, I knew who Jennifer was referring to.  Steve wanted to speak about AI - and argue that it's not something to fear but something that will enhance the ability of people to think at a faster rate.

We talked about the value and pitfalls of that - and he's arguing that people can use it as a tool that it's meant to be used as.  

I asked some questions about #Parkinsons (and the show "Shrinking which had an episode about it) as well as my old USC professor the late Coleman Hough who had Parkinsons and appears in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE where it vanishes during her six hour interview.

We talked about how that is or why that happened, and then talk about the idea that "filters on the brain" (see Dr. Greysons book AFTER pg 125 or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE for a discussion of the research into filters on the brain) might be something to examine, look into as science tries to cure Parkinsons.

We reiterate we're asking questions, not giving any medical advice - not medical advice is implied or suggested or given.  However, when talking about the brain and the research involved with looking for "filters on the brain" and how it is that Jennifer's brain is in a "delta state" during her sessions (as proven by MRI's that she has done on camera, and the same results were demonstrated via Dr. Drew and Tyler Henry's MRIs.) 

That people who do this kind of mediumship MAY BE stepping past those filters - and that doing so on a daily basis may help or heal parts of the brain.

That's the general discussion and we do these discussions to inspire people to do their own.

Hope this helps.
