Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Another mind bending podcast... Elvis introduced Jennifer to his friend Dolly Parton.

I had an inkling she would show up this week - as the day she passed I heard her voice say "I'd love to be on your show Richard" or something to that effect.

I know I was thinking about something else at the time, so was suprised to hear it. And for the next couple of days it felt like we were having a conversation - me hearing Dollyisms (as a jaded blues music player, Dolly was not on any of my play lists, although I admired her voice and writing skills).

So for a couple of days, I kept hearing funny comments and remarks - and then nothing the past few days, so I wasn't sure if she'd show up or not.

But she did.

Jennifer is a huge fan, and becomes emotional while repeating what Dolly asks her to say.

Jennifer wasn't aware of the duet "Islands in the Stream" with Kenny Rogers, but Dolly made her aware of that.

I asked her the same questions I ask all of our guests; who greeted her? (Husband Carl). Was that a surprise? (No, because he'd been standing by for her since he left).  She spoke about her mediumship abilities - something I'd read about prior to the session.

Other tidbits of fun - and observation about what it's like on the other side, and how musicians hang out together. She was and is a fan of Aretha's - and brought her along with...

We spoke briefly with my pal Charles Grodin about the premiere of the documentary on TCM about him last friday night "Rebel With a Cause" and he mentioned to Jennifer his work with getting people out of prison (she hasn't seen the documentary, so it's not something she would know about).

Anyways, just another day at the office.

Enjoy.

This is a rerun from last year - however, there are a number of things brought up that are relevant to today.  Amelia Earhart makes an appearance to talk about what she wishes was going on in the US... and talks about finishing the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: The Amelia Earhart Saga (which is available in Kindle, Paperback, Hardover and Audible)

Prince stops by the talk about his experience on the flipside, about what it's like to hang out with a person's "higher self" and at the same time applaud what they're doing onstage (talks about Beyonce')

Luana puts it all together - this is one of those summer time redux podcasts while Jennifer is in Nashville tearing up the streets of the Grand Old Opry.

We'll catch you next week as usual!

Meanwhile enjoy this repeat that has some fun new information.

Talking about Dreams and communication with teachers on the flipside.

In today's episode, Jennifer's father Jim comes through - to remind her that he was in her dream the evening before, and reminded her when she went for a walk on the beach that he'd be showing up in our podcast today.

Jim, a Mormon bishop, has come by our classroom many times to elucidate something about the flipside. In this case, he wanted to talk to Jennifer about how dreams are constructed, sometimes from guilt (her wishing she could have done more to save his life) - as well as reminding people that their loved ones are never far away.

Jim was also the first person we spoke to who identified classrooms on the flipside, and introduced us to his professor (who matched the description of a Hindu deity - "Ma Durga.")

However, when I asked him if he was still taking that class, he brought forward a line of professors who were eager to talk with us about their classes. (See the book "AI AND THE FLIPSIDE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PICTURES ITSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER" for a discussion of classrooms in the afterlife.)

So, as I'm fond of doing, I invited "whomever wanted to share to come forward."  In this case, an etheric (transparent) being named "Lucy" who teaches a class in "Ballet" on the flipside. She revealed that she had incarnated back in the 1920's in the US in New York City - but despite self identifying as a "flapper" her heart was in ballet.

Also she spoke of a previous lifetime she had off the planet Earth as a "fairie" on another planet or in another dimension.  That's not the first Faerie we've spoken to, as well as a number of people who self identify as Leprechauns or other mythological creates.

It's not that they're non existence - it's that we don't have a language or nomenclature to describe their existences. 

So Lucy is teaching ballet, and can recall her lifetime in New York as well as her other lifetime where she had wings.

I invited one of her students to say hello - and Jeff McMillan came through - not someone that Jennifer knows, but someone whom we asked if he was currently on or off the planet - and he's currently on the planet.

When I interview these students I often ask them their opinion of the class, as well as how long they've been coming to it - I didn't in this instance due to time, but if one looks at the transcripts from ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE or the latest AI AND THE FLIPSIDE one can see the kinds of questions and answers I get.

All of it's mind bending, and we appreciate Jennifer sharing her family with us, including those who are no longer on the planet.

Safe Travels Jennifer!

She'll be in Nashville next week.

Another mind bending podcast.

Jennifer said Robert Towne, Luana's pal had stopped by to admire the "puppy paw" necklace she had on (that she forgot she was wearing.)

Then Robert Thurman came through. He came to talk about a celebration ("birthday party") someone was having with his wife Nena.  I said I had just received a link to a celebration in his honor. "A Bob Thurman Celebration" at the WoodstockAwakening.org website.

It included many of his friends and wife - and he wanted to say that he thought it was wonderful. (I hadn't viewed it yet, but did so after the podcast. Mind bending).

But then I told him how I'd done a guided meditation with someone who saw a Tibetan Lama on her council - I recognized the name of the Lama, and asked that Lama if "he'd seen Thurman."

The Lama said "No" - but I said, "Would you like to?" And then said "I don't know how you communicate over there, but I know that saying his name, you'll know his frequency."

The woman said "He's here - standing in a library holding some books." (She wasn't aware that Bob was an author - and it was after the session, we were talking about his translation of "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" - and in that moment, realized it was his book, his translation!

But she said "He's saying that you need to find some hidden texts, Richard."

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, "hidden books" are those that have yet to be translated.

So I asked Jennifer to ask him "what's the subject matter of the book?"

She said "Jesus and Buddha."

I could have fallen off my chair. Some years ago, when Bob and I were in Hemis, Kashmir, the abbot of the monastery said that his monastery is where Jesus studied Buddhism - and is where the "Kanjur of Hemis" existed. 

I didn't understand what he was saying until I researched it later - and indeed about a dozen people have translated, seen this book that includes the story of "Issa" as Jesus is known in Asia.

The book THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM includes that translation done by Notovitch - and points out all the unusual long lost religions the book refers to - that Notovitch could never have known about.

I had asked Bob some years ago if there were any copies of the Kanjur of Hemis outside of India - I had learned there were at least three copies, but unknown where they are.

So Jennifer tells me that Bob is saying that I need to research, use the internet to find that book and extract "the Life of Issa" from it.

Then Michael Newton stopped by to add something to "how to contact your loved ones on the flipside."

All of it mind bending! I point out that the guided meditations that I'm doing are in the book AI AND THE FLIPSIDE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PICTURES ITSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER.

If you want to know what the meditation/adventure is like, that's a great place to start (www.RichMartini.com)

In this podcast, Jennifer asked for Carl Jung to stop by.

I knew that we had interviewed him before, so I tried to not ask him the same questions, but she had a couple of things she wanted to clarify about his journey.

In the later part of the podcast, I trimmed just the part where we spoke to Carl Jung in 2020, six years ago.  That podcast is on the webpage, unedited, but in this version one can hear the same answers to the same questions.

I had no idea she was going to invite Carl Jung, and I have a tendency to remember details from previous sessions.

Another mind bending trip down memory lane - but at the same time, demonstrating how people - how anyone - can access loved ones who are offstage and ask them questions about their journey.

We do this podcast to remind people that it's not hard to do - and in the second interview I asked a bunch of questions about his path and journey.

It's interesting to know we can interview anyone on the flipside, it's also interesting to compare the answers six years apart.

Either way - Welcome to the Hacking the Afterlife podcast - Jennifer can be reached at JenniferShaffer.com and I can be reached at RichardMartini.com

Enjoy!
