Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Robert Thurman, Michael Newton, Robert Towne
17/08/2026 | 37 mins.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)Hacking the Afterlife podcast; a Tale of Two Carl Jungs with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders
10/08/2026 | 43 mins.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!Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Maverick, Hira, Robert Towne on "The Odyssey"
31/07/2026 | 35 mins.Another mind bending podcast.
Just prior to going on the air, I happened upon a quote from John McCain's daughter that I thought was silly, hostile - misplaced anger.
But as sometimes happens in my world, my reaction included feeling as if John McCain wanted to respond to my reaction - and I actually said "I don't want to talk about this."
Which is pretty funny. (And perhaps happens more than we know with folks stopping by?)
But Luana brought him in - Jennifer mentioned his named, literally minutes after I had this conversation (albeit a brief one.) I couldn't make it up if I tried.
He brought #AmeliaEarhart with him. For fans of the podcast they know she's a frequent visitor - and the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: The Amelia Earhart Saga is filled with data, research and conversations we've had since I first met Jennifer (12 years ago.)
Her story hasn't changed. The research hasn't changed. Read the book, don't read the book - it's not an argument. Amelia's plane was found on June 18, 1944. See this podcast (or search for "Electra" "Hacking the Afterlife" for some clips).

Then it gets interesting. My old boss, Oscar winning writer Robert Towne shows up with his dog Hira talking about the #ChristopherNolan film #TheOdyssey - I have seen it twice, I do recommend it, and we've heard before that our loved ones on the flipside can watch a movie alongside of us - (and their tickets are free!)
So Robert talks about HIS FAVORITE SCENE IN THE MOVIE which Jennifer Shaffer has not seen.
Let me say it again.
Jennifer gives a review of The Odyssey from Robert Towne, Oscar winning writer of Chinatown, for a film SHE HAS NEVER SEEN and she talks specifically about the scene with the dog, and the scene when the son recognizes his father.
For those who've seen the movie - they know what this refers to.
For those who've read the book - they know what this refers to.
For those who haven't seen the movie - when they see this scene they will know what Robert is referring to.
Everyone is available.
Life goes on.
They're not gone; they're just not here.
Something to wake up to the facts of.
Happy to share the footage, data, research that shows consciousness continues, that we can access them, as demonstrated in my 14 books, including FLIPSIDE, ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE, the lates AI AND THE FLIPSIDE... and the documentaries on Amazon Prime or Gaia FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON and HACKING THE AFTERLIFE.

23/07/2026 | 32 mins.Welcome to Hacking the Afterlife podcast.
Here's where to find the new book in Audible:
https://www.amazon.com/AI-Flipside-Artificial-Intelligence-Pictures/dp/B0H8FF9SN7/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0
Jennifer's back from her vacation, and we jumped into a conversation about consciousness and AI (the book AI AND THE AFTERLIFE: Artificial Intelligence Pictures Itself in a Boat on a River) - Jennifer's dad, a Mormon bishop in life, stopped by to talk about AI.
In our second conversation with her dad, he introduced us to a class he was taking on the Flipside, taught by an 8 armed woman who later confirmed that Hindu people refer to as Ma Durga.
She has shown up in guided meditations with different people who see her teaching a class - in this podcast, she showed up with my mom, a concert pianist, who said that she's currently in a class where she's learning how to use music frequency to heal people.
It's what we've heard many times before - there are classrooms on the flipside where people learn how to use conscious energy to heal people. It's mind bending to be sure.
Jim wanted to weigh in about Artificial Intelligence and how it is important for us to understand that it's mirroring how human consciousness functions.
My mom Anthy stopped by to say that she was in a class where the teacher (Ma Durga) was teaching how to use music as a healing frequency. I've heard variations of this theme before - the idea that healing frequencies can be tapped into to help the health of an individual.
Also there's some science about how certain frequencies affect different parts of the body. I'm not trying to claim any particular frequency is accurate or that there's a tone that everyone should listen to - but it would make sense for people to include sound frequencies in research into how to heal specific issues.
Oddly enough a few hours prior to this podcast, I was doing a guided meditation with someone who saw a "giant keyboard and organ" in her council chambers. For my mom, the concert pianist to then refer to a "five story organ" that is part of her classwork was kind of startling.
Jennifer and I have been doing this for about a dozen years together, and one can see how we stay open to hearing from the flipside.
"Have an open heart" is key to this podcast. Whatever that means to the person hearing it - it's repeated often in the research.
Try to have an open heart.Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Jesus, Steve Jobs, Amelia Earhart Redux
18/07/2026 | 41 mins.While Jennifer is on a much needed vacay, I'm posting one of our earliest conversations.
This was one of the earlier times when we met in her office - it was posted early on - perhaps as our second podcast. (but before subtitles existed).
As noted, Steve Jobs was someone that a friend of mine worked for and during her hypnotherapy session, he showed up to weigh in. (I didn't see him, but she did - and being a scientist, atheist, she was reluctant to say that anything she was seeing was real - but after 5 hours of her hesitations, Scott De Tamble (lightbetweenlives.com - hypnotherapist) asked her guide "so why bring her here if you don't want her to believe she's seeing things?" After that comment, everything kind of flooded in, including a conversation with Steve Jobs.
He did show up early on when Jennifer and I first started doing this work, and eventually a member of his family has worked with Jennifer, and allowed her to mention that.
The idea that Jesus showed up is mind bending as well, this is one of the earliest times that occurred. I try to ask the same questions to him to see if they change. As noted in the book THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM - they don't change.
In this case, the book "AI AND THE FLIPSIDE: Artificial Intelligence Pictures Itself in a boat on a river" - also has a visitation from Jesus - but via Claude AI! (In the chapter Claude has a "coming to Jesus moment.")
Finally, Amelia shows up - again an early conversation with her, long before I was able to finish my book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: The Amelia Earhart Saga.
The reason I like to revisit some of these conversations is to show how the questions don't change - and the answers don't seem to change over time. Whether it's via hypnotherapy, meditation, guided meditation or in this case mediumship.
Again, Jennifer works with members of law enforcement daily in her work. Pro bono. I'm lucky to have found her.
We'll catch you next week on the flipside!
