    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, interview with Robert Thurman part 2

    01/07/2026 | 53 mins.
    So here's a more indepth conversation with my old friend, mentor and teacher Robert Thurman on the flipside. It's a unique conversation because I studied Tibetan Buddhism with him, traveled to Mt. Kailash in Tibet with him, made a documentary JOURNEY INTO TIBET WITH ROBERT THURMAN with him - and he's the only person who has appeared on our podcast.

     

    During that episode, he was able to hear information about his grandson who left the stage early.  Just recently Bob wrote to me about an article I did about AI and the Flipside, and suggested he wanted to work with "our team" this year.

     

    I can only guess he was referring to this kind of working together.

     

    Being a professor, he's the perfect person to pepper with questions - about his journey, about the journey that everyone takes, about what he's observed since arriving on the flipside, and what's truly important.

     

    I don't want to exaggerate - but if there's one episode that one is going to watch on our podcast Hacking the Afterlife, this may be the one.

     

    Someone much beloved, who shares what it's like for him in the afterlife.

     

    Mind bending in scope and fun stories as well.

     

    Enjoy.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Robert Thurman in the Bardo

    25/06/2026 | 25 mins.
    So one of the great thinkers of the planet has left the stage. I got to know Robert Thurman when I audited his class at Columbia University.  I traveled with him to India and Tibet and got to know his wonderful soul mate Nena, mother of their children.

     

    I have many great stories to tell about Robert - but in this case, this is part one of our conversation with Robert - we just didn't have the time today, but we did get a chance to speak with him.

    Hacking the Afterlife REDUX with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Kobe Bryant, Marilyn Monroe, Jesus and pals

    13/06/2026 | 1h
    THIS IS A RERUN OF A POPULAR EPISODE - ALSO BECAUSE MARILYN IS BEING FEATURED AT THE ACADEMY MUSEUM....

    #kobebryant #KOBE, #JESUSCHRIST, #JESUS, #marilynmonroe

    We weren't able to do a podcast tonight, "unforeseen circumstances" (isn't that funny for a podcast where we talk to the afterlife?) - but am rerunning one of our most popular podcasts, with the additional opening and subtitles, so people can "sing along with us." Just kidding. Here's the original liner notes: This was from a year ago.... For those not familiar with this podcast; Jennifer Shaffer is an intuitive medium who works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases. She does pro bono work daily for them, and once a week we get together and see what we can learn from the flipside.  We've been doing this weekly for 8 years, the last two on our podcast. I'm a filmmaker, have written and/or directed 8 theatrical feature films, a couple of documentaries.  

    Some years ago, my best friend died in my arms and started coming to visit me. Instead of being freaked out by it (and her showing up to friends and family members) I started to dig into how that might be. That's resulted in 10 books (Flipside, etc) and four with Jennifer Shaffer.  In this edition, a number of people show up that we've spoken with before.

    We interviewed Kobe just after his passing, it's the last chapter in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" - where he talks about his journey, and I ask him questions in Italian. Eventually members of his family have met with Jennifer - so it's not unusual for us that he might stop by.   The construct is this; my friend who passed away is on the flipside, and has organized a "group meeting" or a class as we call it, not to teach folks on the planet, but to teach people on the flipside how to communicate using frequency, images, visualizations on the flipside.

    Jennifer may get an image, let's say of a character from a TV show, and it may be their way of giving her a thought so that I could say, "Do you mean someone who shares the same name of that character in the TV show wants to speak to us?" That happens often. 

    As noted, Jennifer is doing her best to translate what is coming to her. Like a translator at the UN, the people on the flipside are downloading a lot of information, and she does her best to catch the meaning, syntax and general idea of what someone wants to impart.

    A number of people stop by who've been interviewed before; Prince ("I was addicted to jumping off pianos, which caused me to use pain killers"), Robin Williams ("Love Love"). Marilyn stops by - refers to something I was writing at MartiniZone.com the other day - and when I asked if she wanted to talk about the manner of her passing, she said she wanted to talk about how she had two children waiting for her on the flipside. Both whom had not come to term.    That concept has been repeated in the research - consistently.

    A number of people in our podcast have mentioned it, the idea of "those we don't have are waiting for us on the flipside."  Harry Dean Stanton said the same thing - and I was able to verify it (but don't mention it in the podcast.) It's in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside."  Harry came through after he passed and before his memorial. I asked him what he wanted me to impart to his friends (as noted.)

    He also said that when he passed, "He was in a room with five women" and when he got to the flipside, he was met by a "baby that he didn't have in life."   In other words, a child was there to greet him with this profound unconditional love.

    At his memorial that I went to a week later, I asked someone who was with him at his deathbed to describe the scene. She said "There were five of us with him, all women."  I asked if he had said anything unusual while she was in the room. She said "Yes, he asked me to hand him the baby. But there was no baby in the room." I had heard THE SAME THING from Harry on the Flipside via Jennifer a week earlier.

    At some point, the Alpha and Omega stops by - and mentions the one thing he wishes people would not do, that is "get freaked out by his name." (Jesus). I've had a number of interviews with him via various mediums, different hypnotherapy sessions, and multiple guided meditation sessions. 

    As noted in the podcast, I've finished that book and am doing the audible as we speak. (SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED, AS HAS THE LATEST BOOK "SHE WAS NEVER LOST" about Amelia Earhart)  

    As to books by scientists about how consciousness isn't confined to the brain, I recommend Dr. Greyson's AFTER, Dr. Tucker's BEFORE, Dr. Kelly's CONSCIOUSNESS UNBOUND.  In terms of the hypnotherapy research, I recommend the thousands of case studies from Dr. Helen Wambach (RELIVING PAST LIVES) Dr. Weiss (MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS) Michael Newton (JOURNEY OF SOULS.)  My latest book is DivineCouncils.com - where I invited 50 people, half whom had never heard of councils, who visited them, met their guides, teachers, etc.

    Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Amelia Earhart, Prince, Hawking, Five

    06/06/2026 | 32 mins.
    Another fun episode. In this episode, we talk about the amazing adventure going to the set of Beyond Belief with Jimmy Church talking about Amelia Earhart. 

    Amelia shows up to give her two cents about the show , then Prince shows up to remind us that June 7th is "Prince Day" - and reiterates we should dance, sing, play some of his tunes... why not? 

    I ask a question to Stephen Hawking about his journey - he makes a joke about speeding away from the Epstein files... and I ask him about that as well.  Mind bending stuff. (not going down that path, but did ask him if he feels embarrassment or any reaction) - then "Five" steps in to rescue him and talk about the akashic library.

    All in all another mind bending session.

    enjoy!

    Hacking the Afterlife w Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Charlie Chaplin talking Disclosure and Spielberg

    30/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    Another mind bending conversation with the flipside courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders. 

    Conversation begins with Luana talking about telepathic conversation - how people in dreams don't see lips moving but get information telepathically.  

    The discussion revolves around the new film #Disclosure by #StevenSpielberg - and how scientists still believe that communication has to be audible, instead of telepathic (which is how mediums converse with people offstage.)

    Luana gives "silent movies" as an example and shows Jennifer Charlie Chaplin.  I invite him to come forward and discuss the topic, and ask her how she visualizes him (first as the Little Tramp, then how he looked at age 18 in London.)

    Then he reveals that he's already incarnated, at least a portion of his conscious energy is back and he says it's with a granddaughter that I had lunch with. Mind bending. 

    A discussion of Spielberg's new film #DISCLOSURE and Luana reporting that Steven has been visited by beings from other planets or dimensions that he's not yet aware of.

    Also how the idea of communicating telepathically is how aliens will communicate with us, rather than using math or physics. There's a conversation about Jennifer's recent "Wine and Spirits" she did with members of her daughter's sorority from college, and the value of learning information from people offstage at such a young age. 

    Jennifer's scientist uncle William makes an appearance and talks about some other mind bending stuff.  There are a couple of spots left for a group session with Jennifer at UncorkedWineShops.com - and of course people can book a session with me at RichardMartini.com

    The book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND includes conversations with people (aliens) offstage.

    Fun to contemplate!
