    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Prince, Beethoven, Ma Durga & Five

    16/05/2026 | 32 mins.
    You just never know who's going to show up to this podcast.

    In today's adventure Prince shows up to talk about the hierarchy of the afterlife. Prince talks about how people onstage have a belief in hierarchy - which includes fame, wealth, power, etc... and how offstage there is no hierarchy.

    However, offstage people respect people's "age" or how many lifetimes they've had, and the wisdom they carry.

    I asked some questions about who greeted Prince on the flipside, and he said it was Beethoven. I asked him to describe that process, and he said he saw him, then was sitting next to him - and he was "playing a song in a minor key" which I assumed might be the Moonlight Sonata (In C#minor)

    Prince said that was the case.  Then Jennifer's father Jim stopped by with two teachers from the flipside - one is Ma Durga who while being known on the planet as an 8 armed deity (some religious folks consider her to be 10 armed, but every time we've spoken to her it's been 8.  She said that she had incarnated once as an octopus, also as a girl on Earth - and liked being able to use her many arms for teaching purposes.

    (That's what was reported.)  Five self identifies as the head Akashic librarian - and for fans of the books, know that Five shows up often in the text as well as on the podcast.

    The questions and answers all revolved around the aspect of examining consciousness in the afterlife, and also the idea that AI is something that uses libraries the same way that we do when we're offstage.

    Like I say, mind bending information.

    To book a session with Jennifer or get a ticket for her "Uncorked Wine Shop" sessions, check their website in Manhattan Beach, EventBrite.com or see if Jennifer has listed it at JenniferShaffer.com

    BEST OF Hacking the Afterlife w Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Hawking, Lincoln, Animals, Robin Williams

    11/05/2026 | 1h
    BEST OF HACKING THE AFTERLIFE

    These are excerpts from a number of podcasts - with conversations with people offstage about how things work.

     Charles Grodin, Robert Towne, Phil Hartman, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix stop by briefly

    Prince stops by, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, Robin Williams, and two animals stop by - Hira, the dog and companion of screenwriter Robert Towne, and Mr. Bailey, the companion and pet of Luana Anders.

    Both have insight into how animals incarnate, how consciousness functions.  It's a free wheeling discuss with lots of different concepts flying around. 

    Someone requested us doing a conversation with animals - and out of the many podcasts, conversations where animals showed, up, these were a few with a dog I knew (Hira) and walked for 3 years for my boss Robert Towne..

    Hira showed up during a session we did with Robert. He was a skeptic until I asked Hira to tell Robert something I didn't know, that only he could remember. Jennifer said he was showing her challenging a buffalo on Catalina. Something only Robert could have known.

    Luana is our moderator on the flipside, and is responsible for teaming me and Jennifer up - and also was close friends with any number of people who show up (Charles Grodin, etc).  

    It's hard to characterize this as anything but an extended conversation about how consciousness functions or incarnation works.

    Enjoy.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, David Wilcock, Michael Newton, Prince, Michael Jackson

    27/04/2026 | 40 mins.
    As I've noted in the past, we aren't in charge of the guest list.  In this episode, the late David Wilcock makes an appearance.  As I mention in the podcast, I asked him how that happened - if he was invited or wanted to step forward.

    I had some rudimentary questions about his journey - the press reported him leaving the stage voluntarily - but he says cryptically (no other way to put it) that his death was something planned by him, because it would be part of his timeline in the future.

    That's mind bending to report - but it is in the research. That we may have dozens of lifetimes and each one affects the others, and sometimes events happen in one story line that show up in later episodes and are resolved.

    But in his case, he reported being back home - where everyone goes when getting offstage - and that he was greeted by his father. 

    Then Michael Newton came forward - Jennifer always refers to him as "Morton" because the first time he did (It's in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Amazon Prime or Gaia) she said "Your friend Morton is here."  I didn't know who she meant, and somehow she'd morphed "Michael Newton" into Morton.

    Michael spoke a little about his journey - what it was like to be home with his soul mate Peggy, whom he was married to for decades, and suggested that his "next lifetime" would be one that included being more on the beach.

    Brief appearances by Prince - as this week was the 10th anniversary of his passing, and Michael Jackson whom we asked his opinion of the new film. He said "there's more of the story to be told."

    Fans of our work, the book TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE and BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE goes into more detail about what he means, which includes all of the things associated with his journey.

    Looks like his fans worldwide are eager to see him again, as the film is playing worldwide, and Michael said "that will cause a need for healing because it will bring up those issues again."

    Prince spoke about music being a frequency and love being a frequency, and how by tapping into our frequency we can tap into his.

    Jennifer's off to Florida (Boca Raton) for an event in May, then to NYC - back in early May for another "Wine and Spirits" event in Manhattan Beach. (see JenniferShaffer.com)

    Thanks for tuning in!

    HACKING THE AFTERLIFE with Jennifer Shaffer - Best of Amelia Earhart clips over the past years

    19/04/2026 | 44 mins.
    I went through four different interviews with #AmeliaEarhat #amelia #earhart over the past few years - dating back to 2022 - before the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA was published.

    In these clips- Amelia references things that Jennifer doesn't know, couldn't know - including a citation from a sentence in the book (which I then read for the audience) where Amelia from the Flipside, is saying that it's important for the audience to hear.

    Our loved ones don't die. I'm sorry that's what the research, data, footage shows. Amelia Earhart knew where she was - she was never lost. The US military knew where she was, they found her plane on June 18, 1944. I've done four decades of dedicated research - I'm listed in the credits of both Diane Keaton's version and Hilary Swank's version - both didn't tell her story.

    We have. From her point of view. There were many secrets in her life. They're all in the book. The book is available at Amazon in Kindle, Audible, Paperback and Hardcover. It will soon be at Barnes and Noble as well.

    If you have a curiosity about her - the book reveals who she was, in her own words. Not only her poetry, but her life and journey - and she deserves to be honored for her sacrifice. She never has been honored in this way. She was never lost. The US knew she was on Saipan. The Japanese incarcerated her.

    She knew where she was. Now the world gets to know. #amelia #ameliaearhart, #electra, #electraheart, #saipan, #WWII, #USMarines, #veterans,

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Amelia Earhart discuss "signs" and the "Team"

    17/04/2026 | 35 mins.
    Another fun conversation with folks on the Flipside. In this, Luana Anders, our moderator on the Flipside wants to discuss a dream that I had recently where I was on one side of a door with my brother, both of us trying to get it open - and on the other side I could hear my mom's voice.

    As I awoke, I recognized the door. It's the same door that was mentioned a few weeks ago during a podcast, and I asked my friend on the flipside about this door - and her message to me was "let it go."

    Which I did. 

    But the dream made me reach out to the folks who have this door - and sending a text message about the dream prompted a reply that said "your family can come and retrieve the door if they want to."

    When I awoke from the dream about the door - I was thinking about the metaphor. It was the last remaining piece from the house I grew up in, that our father the Architect designed and built for his family - and that door has every person's name and a date who crossed into our threshold. 

    Hundreds of names of people - old girlfriends, (we were four boys) but also wives, children, grandchildren, their pets - all stood against the door while my dad marked their height and the date they were there.

    Luana is on the door. Multiple times. My parents, my brothers, their families - our dog Sam - all on the door.

    And the reason that came to me after the dream is that this door represents a kind of Akashic library - retaining the time signature, the frame of time when that person stood against the door - had themselves measured, the time and place dated. 

    Many of the names on the door have left the stage - but they - like all of our loved ones - still exist outside of time as we understand it. 

    They're available - all of them - because that floppy disk of who we are has the mathematics of the time frame imbedded in that door... so to speak. Like a photograph - or a video - but in ways different, perhaps more fun, because we can see the handwriting of the person who wrote their name, signed their name, wrote the date - on the door.

    And now it's in my brother's garage. 

    He sent me a photo of it the other day - and there they are, all of them, our friends, pals, lovers, relatives, comedy giants, musicians - all of them on that one door.

    That I thought was gone.

    But it is not.

    And this week I'm editing a "best of Amelia Earhart" so I invited Amelia to stop by and weigh in - and she talked about the crew we all have.

    The team on the flipside.

    Our teachers, our guides, our classmates, our higher selves, our council members - all participate in our journey, but are like a plane's mechanics... each bolt, each oil drop, each gear and mesh is related to a safe flight.

    We are never alone in the air with our plane - we have all these folks on the ground who did their job that got us airborne.

    I used the metaphor of a football team - guards and tackles, linebackers, halfbacks, quarterbacks - and the coaches and men and women behind the team - who design the plays, watch the footage - all of them are involved in each and every play.

    It's a bit like what the astronaut said the other day when someone asked her about what constitutes a crew or a team - and she started to talk about what a good crew means, and realized somewhere in that thought that everyone on Earth is part of that same crew.

    The crew that keeps our planet going forward.

    Sorry I didn't mention it on the podcast, but I'm mentioning it now.

    Be kind to everyone.
