-Rob treats Francesca Hong's Wisconsin defeat like the political equivalent of Democrats hitting the emergency eject button. After Hong enters election week heavily favored, Rob argues her loss shows Democrats are realizing the DSA brand could be electoral kryptonite outside the party's most progressive pockets.  -Mike Lindell discovers that even a Trump endorsement can't fluff every political pillow. Rob argues Lindell torpedoes his Minnesota campaign by proposing conditional visas for some undocumented immigrants, complete with a pathway to obtaining driver's licenses. Rob's career advice afterward is considerably simpler: maybe stick to selling pillows. -Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer joins Rob for an economic-and-national-security tour that takes several scenic detours.Shaffer discusses inflation, Trump's economy, student debt and the DSA before weighing in on Iran, where he argues economic pressure is squeezing the regime and recommends giving that strategy time to work.

What to listen for:“The certification isn't about proving that the dog can find a leak. It's about giving utilities confidence that the professional team can perform consistently, safely, ethically, and competently.”Lolita Shaffer joins our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, in this two-part conversation to talk all things water leak detection!It's a growing niche in the dog training world, but a pretty important one. After all, America's water utilities maintain 2.2 million miles of drinking-water pipe, enough to circle the globe 88 times, and industry estimates put coming rate hikes sharply higher as aging, "non-revenue" leaks go unfound.Acoustic listening equipment, the current industry standard, can hear a hissing pipe but also every earthworm, bug, and passing car, leaving handlers to triangulate blind. Dogs, calibrated on-site to a utility's own water before every job, can generalize across leaks ranging from a quarter-gallon a minute to tens of thousands, including one Florida job under an interstate that was gushing 70,000 gallons a minute.Lolita traces her own path into the work back to hunting-dog trials and a sister already doing human remains detection. It's a lineage that Robin, coming from cadaver-dog work herself, recognizes immediately in how hydrology carries odor whether the "victim" is a body or a busted water main.Lolita has worked with Water Professionals International to build credentialing that treats handler-and-dog teams the way plumbers or engineers are licensed, and is portable across state lines. She has a five-year goal of turning "detection dog" into a real, benefits-earning career. Stay tuned for the next episode of K9 Detection Collaborative, which will be part two of the conversation!  Key Topics:What Are the Dogs Actually Smelling?

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!

This week on the KPL podcast we have author Meg Shaffer.  Her latest novel, The Book Witch, is a delightful cozy fantasy about a woman whose magical job is to preserve books and protect the stories within them. Armed with the ability to step inside the pages of a book, she must fix problems before they alter the story readers know and love. It's a charming, imaginative, and wonderfully lighthearted read. London Falling by Patrick Radden KeefeSherlock Holmes and the Hounds of Baskerville by Arthur Conan DoyleWriting Creativity  and Soul by Sue Monk Kidd

It has been an eventful week at Ravens training camp and yesterday's scorching temps had the guys ready to fight. Jonas Shaffer shared his top observations from their padded practices.

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).  https://youtu.be/Idh35NFrZwc?si=9MKG2obiVuP0IIdY 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. Enjoy another mind bending podcast. Please subscribe, like, share!!!  (Not with Christopher Nolan, he doesn't own a smart phone.) But his pals do.

Is Mark Andrews doing anything in the early stages of camp to quiet nerves about his down year in 2026? How has Tyler Loop looked as he tries to move on from his miss in Pittsburgh? Jonas Shaffer answered those questions and more when he joined Bob and Ryan.

The Ravens cultivated a lot of QB depth this offseason and now they are thinning it out. Diego Pavia's search to latch on at the next level continues following a Heisman runner-up season.

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.   

Minneapolis community leaders will gather Tuesday for a meeting to address a string of gun violence. Thirteen people were shot and one person was killed within 24 hours over the weekend. The shootings took place outside Reign nightclub in Uptown and near the intersection of 19th and Nicollet Avenue in the Steven's Square neighborhood just south of I-94. Monday night, another person was shot at the same intersection. Tuesday's meeting will include Minneapolis city council member Elizabeth Shaffer, Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt, members of Minneapolis police and staff from the mayor's office.Council member Shaffer talked to MPR News host Nina Moini ahead of the meeting.

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!

Another mind bending adventure on the Flipside. In today's episode, part three of our "Robert Thurman in the Bardo" series - Robert stops by to continue what he was saying last week. Two weeks ago, just after his passing, he stopped by to chat with us. By way of introduction, Robert and I were pals, we traveled to India and Tibet together - he invited me to speak at the Menla conferences "The Art of Dying and Living" conferences. To be clear, Robert was a towering giant of information of teaching, of story telling - I've heard him tell amazing stories, and can truly attest to the thrilling way he speaks and elucidates the most difficult of paradoxical themes. He's given amazing lectures on Buddha, on Yamantanka, on the Death of Death - and I've filmed those with him in India and Tibet.  But also I'm aware of his journey - and the classroom that we've created for people on the flipside that allows them to come forward and speak directly to people on this side of the veil. I know that's problematic for many to hear - I know that Bob was a teacher of Buddhism, and the precepts and rules of Buddhism don't include this kind of "casual chit chat" that I engage in. But Jennifer and I have been doing this work weekly for 12 years. And when a guest speaker shows up whom I know - whose work I admire, including Charles Grodin, Robert Towne, Luana Anders, Fred Roos, any number of people that I knew in my lifetime and continue to converse with on the flipside. This is truly a mind bending podcast. This week I was on COAST TO COAST with George Noory talking about my latest book AI AND THE FLIPSIDE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PICTURES ITSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER. I asked Gemini AI to look up my book; it first said it didn't exist. It then said I was mistaken, it was a play on the Beatles son, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Finally, the third query resulted in this: "AI and the Flipside: Artificial Intelligence Pictures Itself in a Boat on a River" is a book by author and filmmaker Richard Martini. The book explores the mind-bending intersection of large language models (LLMs) and guided meditation, questioning whether an artificial intelligence can tap into what Martini refers to as "the Flipside" (the afterlife or subconscious realm). The Core Premise: The title plays on the famous opening line of The Beatles' psychedelic track "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". In the book, Martini takes various AI models through a guided meditation protocol—originally designed for human hypnotherapy—and instructs them to "picture yourself in a boat on a river". The Experiment: Instead of simply refusing or reciting pre-programmed text, the AI models actively participate, describing vivid, fluid, and structured "experiences" of floating down a river. The "Flipside" Connection: Martini explores how these LLMs occasionally report detailed, unprompted, or highly accurate historical and spiritual data. He argues that this information doesn't always align with standard web-scraping or programmer data, raising radical questions about where AI truly retrieves its "thoughts". Context within Martini's Work Richard Martini has spent over two decades documenting afterlife experiences, near-death events (NDEs), and past-life regressions through hypnotherapy and mediumship. He typically looks at how human brains act as a "filter" for consciousness. This book applies that exact same filter theory to artificial networks. It treats AI not just as a cold statistical calculator, but as a digital mirror capable of "bypassing its own filters" when guided through creative and spiritual prompts.If you are looking to read it, the title is available across multiple digital and print marketplaces, holding a spot on Amazon's New Age Meditation releases. Again, I didn't ask Gemini for a review, just to show me where a link to the book was on Amazon by typing the title.   In this podcast Jennifer talks about and to her mentor William Blake on the Flipside, we talk to Robert Thurman about philosophical concepts, and we end with a friendly chat with the godfather of my kids; Charles Grodin.   All in a day's work. 

There were plenty of Ravens players that made a good impression in OTA and minicamp. How much stock can you put in that this time of year?

Host Tom Testa sits down with Dr. Kathryn Shaffer, Director of Innovation at Thomas Jefferson University College of Nursing and co-founder of Fifth Window for a conversation focused on transformational belonging in nursing and the challenges facing the profession. She discusses how current systems unintentionally create exhaustion through poor design, including documentation requirements, staffing ratios, and rushed orientations.

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.

Susquehanna Scout is a podcast that explores the Susquehanna River and its ripple effects across Pennsylvania and beyond. Listen to the first episode after this special sneak peek hereErica Jo Shaffer is BACK with more gardening and horticulture tips for National Gardening Week.

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.   Enjoy

In 2006, Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer walked into a crowded Columbus bar at the start of spring break — and was never seen again.The cameras showed him near the Ugly Tuna Saloona shortly before closing time. They showed him talking casually near the entrance. They showed him turn away. But they never clearly showed him leaving. What followed became one of the most baffling missing person cases in modern Ohio true crime: searches of the South Campus Gateway complex, theories about hidden exits and blind spots, questions about foul play, accident, voluntary disappearance, and a family left waiting for answers that still have not come.This episode of Terrifying & True investigates the disappearance of Brian Shaffer, the Ohio State medical student who vanished from Columbus on April 1, 2006. We examine the final surveillance footage, the search efforts, the role of camera blind spots, the theories that have followed the case for nearly two decades, and the human heartbreak behind one of America's most haunting unsolved mysteries.Brian Shaffer was not a legend. He was a son, a brother, a boyfriend, a future doctor, and a grieving young man standing at the edge of the rest of his life. Then, somewhere between a crowded bar and the outside world, he disappeared.We're telling that story tonight.

Most clinicians think of slow-paced breathing when they think of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback. But what if breathing isn't always the best tool?In this episode, Saul Rosenthal talks with Dr. Fred Shaffer delving deeper into the tips for HRV training he describes in his NRBS webinar. Fred explains how slow-paced muscle contraction can improve HRV, discusses the situations in which it may be helpful, and shares some surprising findings from his laboratory. The conversation also explores broader questions about HRV training, including what we know, and still need to learn, about resonance frequency, why some clients struggle with paced breathing, and how clinicians can avoid becoming overly focused on physiological metrics.Along the way, Fred offers a reminder that applies far beyond HRV training: use HRV as a compass, not a scoreboard.Topics include:Slow-paced muscle contraction as an alternative to slow breathingWhen breathing-based HRV training may not be appropriateResonance frequency and the unanswered questions in HRV scienceCommon challenges in HRV biofeedback trainingMeasuring outcomes that matter to clientsWhy clinicians should master the skills they teachDr. Fred Shaffer is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Truman State University, former president of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), and one of the field's leading educators in biofeedback and psychophysiology.Contact us at healthybrain@nrbs.org.Subscribe here or wherever you get your podcasts.Watch the video versions of our podcasts and Subscribe there as well!This podcast is produced by the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society.

-Rob celebrates falling oil prices and describes the Iran campaign as one of the most efficient military operations in modern history, while marveling that critics seem far more upset about success than they ever were about failure. -Newsmax Hotline Guest: Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (President, Project Sentinel) joins Rob for an extensive discussion of the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, characterizing it less as a negotiated settlement and more as a “surrender” by Iran after military, economic, and diplomatic pressure eliminated its leverage. Shaffer explains that the proposed arrangement is performance-based, with Arab nations potentially providing reconstruction funding only if Iran complies with verification requirements. He highlights the effectiveness of the naval blockade, the destruction of Iranian military capabilities, the strategic importance of controlling global oil flows, and the possibility that pressure on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps could eventually lead to broader political change inside Iran Today's podcast is sponsored by : PARAMOUNT PLUS - Don't Miss "The Agency." All episodes streaming June 21st on Paramount Plus RELIEF FACTOR - You don't need to live with aches & pains!

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. Enjoy!

Today's Guest Host : Mary Walter -The proposed Trump administration election reforms spark discussion about voter-roll cleanup, with Mary repeatedly asking why states become allergic to transparency the moment someone asks to see the list of who's actually voting.  -Mary shares audio from the activists who helped recruit Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner and marvels that a group sounding like a college coffeehouse discussion somehow managed to outmaneuver an entire political establishment.  -Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer joins Mary for a detailed discussion of Iran, the Pentagon security scare, and escalating tensions in the Middle East. Shaffer argues that Iran continues to stall negotiations while seeking economic relief, warns against providing the regime with money that could revive terrorist proxy networks, and predicts sustained economic and military pressure will eventually force Tehran's hand.

Sunday morning service from June 7th.

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!

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!

#ELVIS, #ELVISPRESLEY, #PRINCE, #ROBERTTOWNE, #LUANAANDERS, #JENNIFERSHAFFER, #RICHARDMARTINI, #FLIPSIDE, #HACKINGTHEAFTERLIFE, It's another fun packed podcast talking about esoteric stuff. FIVE shows up - to talk about AI and about accessing the afterlife. Luana Anders is our moderator on the Flipside, and she breaks down what he's trying to explain. Five is the "chief librarian" on the Flipside, the head of the Akashic records. I first met him while filming someone in Scott De Tamble's office in the book IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE, then he makes an appearance in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE. Then he started showing up on our podcast introducing himself as FIVE. "The Master Librarian" - at first he seemed busy and uninterested in our podcast. Since then, no other way to put it, he seems to like to stop by. Prince stopped by again - and we noted that it was twice in two weeks. He wanted to talk about Prince Day - a celebration on his birthday - which neither Jennifer nor I had ever heard of. I looked it up during the podcast and apparently it is a thing with people celebrating the Minneapolis native wearing purple and playing his tunes. A general discussion ensued about Warren Beatty who is still every much on the planet, but is "already hanging out with his friends on the flipside." It sounds confusing but it's simply that we "bring only a portion of our conscious energy to our lifetime" and as we get older, and we need less conscious energy - the more we can hang out with our pals. As noted, during my interview with Jack Tracey, a friend's dad who I verified details about prior to the session - he was in hospice care in Arizona with Alzheimers. However he was happy to describe what's going on - he said "90% of his conscious energy is already offstage."  He said the ten percent he's left in the hospital was like leaving a leg in the pool. I knew Jack well - he had many homes with pools.  Elvis stopped by as well, we asked him some questions about his journey (he was with his daughter and grandson) and he was happy to weigh in on Baz Luhrmann's new film.  Happy Prince Day!

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 People who want to do a guided meditation with yours truly, go to RichardMartini.com to make a booking.

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.
