So as an experiment, I asked three people we'd spoken to on the flipside, who knew him, to come forward and help us chat with Paul. </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">At the time I didn't know that we could "invite anyone" - but figured if we could invite Paul, he'd be more comfortable with some of his pals. Much to my chagrin (It's in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE and in the documentary TALKING TO PAUL ALLEN, JUNIOR SEAU AND DAVE DUERSON on YouTube. </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Paul Allen showed Jennifer that two football players who had suffered from CTE were there to greet him. Why? Because of Paul's brain institute. Jennifer didn't know that there was an institute, I did - but they came forward to tell Jennifer that "Joe Namath had cured his CTE using oxygen therapy."</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">She didn't get it the first two times they came through - because she doesn't know football, didn't know the Quarterback they were showing her. It was only after looking up what they were saying "Quarterback" "CTE" did I discover that Joe has done that.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Watch the film, it's free.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">But today, Junior stopped by.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">As noted, after he showed up initially, I invited his widow Gina to do a session with Jennifer. Jennifer didn't know who Junior or Gina was - but does so on camera in the film.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">It's uncanny.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">I don't expect anyone to race out and watch the film - but one day it will become an important piece of the puzzle. </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">So we are used to talking to Junior. (Who took his own life after suffereing from CTE. He and his widow had an amazing reunion, and I thank her for letting me film it. She's happily remarried, living a wonderful life, and if she runs across this podcast, this description, she'll know what I'm referring to. </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Junior talks about how people on the flipside can attend the Super Bowl, but mostly through the participation of their loved ones onstage. So if "Uncle Pete" or "Aunt Betty" seems to be rooting for one of the teams from the Flipside, do not be surprised.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">I asked our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders if anyone else wanted to come forward; and it was Prince.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">We haven't had him on the podcast as of late - but he wanted to point out that anyone can connect with him, anyone can call him for assistance. (Junior also said that "anyone can play in his touch (mental) football games" as well.</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">At some point, I asked Prince about helping someone on this side play a song. Now - if one listens carefully (and ignores me) they can hear Jennifer (who doesn't know chords or how to transpose guitar chords to piano as I do...)</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">She says "He's saying "G"</span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Then E minor. </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Then D.

It happens on camera, so no one can be in doubt about what it is we are doing.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="acb3"><b><span style="font-size: large;">We have been doing this for eight years — weekly — where I invite someone to “get past the velvet rope” of the classroom of students that Luana Anders has amassed on the flipside, people who want to speak to those back on the planet, and she helps them to do so.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="dae2"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Just the same way that Jennifer helps people on this side of the veil speak to their loved ones offstage, Luana helps people who’ve crossed over to communicate to us.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f327"><b><span style="font-size: large;">In this case, my friend Carl Weathers came through. I mean Carl perhaps 20 years ago, both of us working with the ICT program out of USC, where people in the industry helped people in the defense department with different scenarios. Carl and I sat next to each other on a plane ride and by the time we landed we were working on a screenplay together. (Yet to be made; “A Slice of the Devil’s Pie.”)</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="74c6"><b><span style="font-size: large;">That put me into his orbit which was working with someone who is incredibly generous of spirit. I was startled to hear that he passed suddenly, I ran into him at the Director’s Guild just a few months ago, and always considered we’d work together again some day.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="9cad"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Well, today’s the day. Carl shows up in my home a couple of days ago, I heard him tease me about something — and decided to see if Luana might let him past her velvet rope to speak on our podcast.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e6d7"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I’ll let the podcast speak for itself. I was finally able to use the captions generated by Adobe — and the result is best viewed on the YouTube channel MartiniZone.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="55e7"><b><span style="font-size: large;">But for those in their cars, this is an unusual trip into the world of someone I know who is on the flipside, clearly alive, clearly aware of what he’s observed.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="b3fc"><b><span style="font-size: large;">At some point, I revealed who Carl was by way of asking a series of questions to friends of his; #RandalKleiser, #SylversterStallone, #ArnoldSchwarzenegger, #AdamSandler, #JonFabreau, #PedroPascal, #RonGronkowski, #FanDeul, #SuperBowl2024. He also talks about seeing old friends of his on the flipside, #MichaelJackson, #TinaTurner. I asked him who he was surprised to see, and it was my old friend #CharlesGrodin whom he shared laughs with.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2d2a"><b><span style="font-size: large;">He has messages for his family, his friends, fans of #GreefKarga, #TheMandalorian” — he mentions the memes about his character WHEN JENNIFER HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, HAS NEVER SEEN THE SHOW, DOES NOT KNOW WHO GREEF KARGA IS.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="346b"><b><span style="font-size: large;">But he tells her about how he’s amused by the memes of him from the show. (I put one into the video version of the podcast.)</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="29b3"><b><span style="font-size: large;">For those visiting our podcast for the first time, Jennifer is a medium who works with law enforcement nationwide, she has been donating her time for this research weekly for 8 years (we have four books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE). Jennifer is a well known intuitive medium who works out of Manhattan Beach, can be found at JenniferShaffer.com</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="77ab"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I’m a best selling author (Kindle in their genre) of books about the afterlife (FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON and HACKING THE AFTERLIFE documentaries are on Amazon, along with ten other books)</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="fa15"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I am sorry to those who may be offended by talking to people offstage, but I’ve been doing it for 15 years on film, Carl was aware of it, and we talked about it when we weren’t working on our screenplay that we pitched at a number of studios together. Maybe one day I’ll turn it into a book — it’s a fun story, had elements of his own life, and he would have been great in the lead role.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e667"><b><span style="font-size: large;">But in the meantime, here I am posting a half hour interview that we did yesterday, a few days after his passing, and what he has to say is in line with all of the other research I’ve filmed. (The most recent book has 20 interviews with scientists, clergy, doctors accessing “Divine Councils in the Afterlife”).</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="80c8"><b><span style="font-size: large;">If there’s an value in sharing this information it’s to remind people that our loved ones are “not gone, they’re just not here.” And as Carl puts it, “We live our lives in the blink of an eye.” Meaning don’t take it so seriously that you can’t give love, “vote for love” or otherwise be happy to be on the planet. “Dance more” he advises.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f821"><b><span style="font-size: large;">It’s good advice. We love you Carl. Thanks for stopping by.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f821"><b><span style="font-size: large;">UPDATE:</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f821"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I asked Carl for a comment for Arnold and he said; "Tell him I can still beat him arm wrestling." I didn't know and clearly Jennifer did not know - he was referring to the iconic scene in Predator where he arm wrestles Arnold.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f821"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Today, Arnold posted a link to that scene.</span></b></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f821"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Coincidence?

Kailash, I’ve gone through the film and added subtitles — trimmed some of the longer scenes, and tried to let the audience experience directly what it was like to take a trip to Geographic Expeditions, go to Lhasa and travel with Robert Thurman across Tibet. (For more info: </strong><a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://WWW.THUS.ORG" href="http://WWW.THUS.ORG" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">THUS.ORG</strong></a><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">)</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="0fce"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">This film exists because I was making a Bollywood movie in Mumbai (My Bollywood Bride) when I got a email from Robert Thurman inviting me to join their trip around Tibet and Mt Kailash. I left the hot sound stages of Juhi and found myself in Katmandu, then in Lhasa.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e4b4"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">From there we visit the Jokhang temple, take a trip to Sera, Drepung and the Nechung Monasteries, then to Samye monastery, then off to Shigatse and Tashi Lumpo monastery, then to Gyantse and the Kumbum… from there it’s a trip to Darchen, and then to a kora around Mt. Kailash, a visit with a saddhu Bikash Giri who lives in a cave overlooking Lake Manasarovar.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="bce1"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">This is two hours of a four week trip, funded by Geographic Expeditions out of San Francisco, and created for Menla, Tibet House in NYC. Robert Thurman is a former Tibetan Buddhist monk who became a professor at Columbia University, is the emeritus chair of the Jey Tsong Khapa studies at Columbia, and its the best person to travel to any Buddhist shrines in Asia to hear the history of the place.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="a8a0"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">For this 20th anniversary I focused on listening to every word that I could translate, and some that I may have erred in translating. But I can tell you that watching this film, which takes us deep into the heart of Tibet, has an overall affect on the viewer that is mind bending.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="46f5"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">For those who are interested in the subject, Tibet House in NY is the place to donate any money or to find further information. </strong><a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://thus.org/" href="https://thus.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noopener noopener noopener" target="_blank"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">https://thus.org/</strong></a><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><br />I can’t thank Nena and Robert Thurman enough for allowing me to bring a camera on this trip — there are more clips online of Robert giving meditations in Tibet — you can find them on this page, or searching for them online.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4ac9"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">We decided to offer this film for free to the audience — mainly because of how difficult it is for people to travel to Tibet, how difficult it is to go there, or travel in this fashion. For some this will be too esoteric, because Robert knows the names and identities of all the statues that we see — but I don’t think one needs to know who they are in order to experience a benefit from seeing them. Artists created these over the past thousand years, and in the case of the Jokhang a statue that was begun or created in the lifetime of Buddha, and has been destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries. It still is an object of great veneration.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4d95"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">There’s something pure about Tibet that can never be diluted, never be taken away — for centuries it was a place where people used a philosophy of the mind to study the mind, to examine the nature of reality. While Tibet continues to struggle, this is not a film that talks about the country’s current struggles. There are many others who can discuss that.<br />In one instance, I was filming Robert in Shigatse, and he goes into be blessed by a monk who puts a large stick on his back, and one of those monks came up and whispered in my ear “Thank you for not forgetting us.”</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4e89"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">That is why I made this film — and why it is free to the public to view. So we remember these people, the country that they are from, the history and monasteries that were built to honor a profound philosophy of insight into the human condition, where people have fought and died for their right to speak freely about their philosophy.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="bb51"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">That’s something that’s worth showing to the planet. If one only watches and listens, there will be a benefit.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="69a1"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">In terms of my own story it was on Mt. Kailash, at the North Face where Robert told us “if you make a wish here it will come true.” I planned to ask for money, but out of my mouth came “I want a son.” I had no connection to the sentence. Then two years later, I asked my son if he knew me “from before.” He said “Yes” and I asked from where?” and he said “Tibet.”</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1391"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Later, he picked up Robert Thurman’s book “Circling the Sacred Mountain” when he was 4, showed it to his mom and said “this is the important book.” He opened it up to a photo of the spot where I made the wish and said “This is where I found daddy.” (He couldn’t read or write at the time.)</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="7fac"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Mt. Kailash is a sacred place for four major religions — the Buddhists, the Jain, the Hindus and the Bon all consider it the “center of the universe.” So here’s a way to visit this sacred mountain, without risking one’s life. I offer this gift to the planet, courtesy of my friend Robert Thurman, from Sanjay Saxena who helped lead the tour, Brent Olson, from Josh Davidow who edited the film, (later made his own films with Robert in Nepal) from all those tour operators from Geographic Expeditions who allowed me to film in return for a copy of the footage for promotional material.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1b60"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">To all the people we met in Tibet who opened their hearts to us.

I’ve been to Saipan where 200 eyewitnesses report seeing her, washing her clothes, tending to her wounds, seeing her incarcerated, the dozen GI’s who found the Electra in a hangar, her briefcase, passport, the GI’s who watched as the plane was doused with gas and burned — on the field.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="7cad"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">I even have a copy of a coded message asking “what’s that big fire on the runway?” the day it was torched. It’s silly, and after knowing where the heck she is buried, and where the plane is buried, funny. If people want to hear eyewitness reports, they can.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="183a"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">If someone wants to sponsor a trip to dig up the frame (that doesn’t change over time) I can help them, if someone wants to take a trip to Saipan and dig up the rest of her bones — where I’ve been told multiple times where they are — we can.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="18be"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">In the meantime, read about another fella who got sucked into the “she’s buried at sea” rubric — completely disregarding the human eyewitnesses — the “islanders” they cannot believe who saw her land the Electra on Mili atoll, who saw her arrested, taken to Majuro, then Jaluit then Garapan, who tended to her wounds, who have reported these things on camera — not sure why people convince themselves of something that isn’t supported by the reports, is it mysogyny? Misanthropy? Xenophobia? No clue.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="d506"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">But here we go — yet another fella who will produce zero evidence.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="c3f5"><a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-us-air-force-officer-045818108.html" href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-us-air-force-officer-045818108.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-us-air-force-officer-045818108.html</a></p><figure class="graf graf--figure" name="7b85"><img class="graf-image" data-height="300" data-image-id="0*uzW-LSNJUk59RAgj" data-is-featured="true" data-width="400" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*uzW-LSNJUk59RAgj" /></figure><p class="graf graf--p" name="851a"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Let’s recap shall we?</em></strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5c24"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">This is what the data, the research and the eyewitness reports show. (After 35 years of research, interviews and footage).</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="89ef"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">1. She didn’t make Howland so she turned to land at Gardner Island. She was already 200 Miles NW of Howland when she turned — which was an error she had done in Dakkar and Burbank. She was off course, and her straight line took her to another island.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="c349"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">2. She went straight for Mili Atoll and was able to land the Electra on its then mile long exposed atoll. (Now mostly covered in water).</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="819a"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">3. EYEWITNESSES saw her land. Dick Spink, who makes boats, has traveled extensively in the region -interviewed the family of two fishermen who saw the plane land. They fished in that region daily, they saw the plane land on their atoll.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f883"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">4. She lost her brake assembly as it landed. Pieces of it were retrieved by Dick Spink, taken to an NTSB investigator Jim Hayton (Seattle) who confirmed “beyond a shadow of doubt” that it came from her plane. He happens to have the identical Electra brake assembly — only used on her plane.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="8783"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">5. The Japanese came to the atoll and arrested her. The arrest was witnessed by islanders including the “Queen of Mili atoll” who was later interviewed by an Australian author who wrote a book in the 1980’s. Others interviewed her, heard the same story.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="44b5"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">6. Amelia and Fred (badly wounded) were taken first to Majuro. A stevedore who later worked on Majuro with US Navy Andrew Bryce — (pictured on this page) told him that he helped the Japanese drag her plane across Mili to the lagoon, then put it on a Japanese barge. The tools used to drag it (small rail cars) were found by Dick Spink and others in a recent trip to the island.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="3502"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">6. She and the plane and Fred were put aboard the Kyoshu, taken to Jaluit. In Jaluit she and the plane were seen by local islanders, included a young boy who later became a congressman in those islands. Bilimon Amaron was a local medic who was ordered to tend to Amelia and Fred’s wounds. His testimony is on camera (filmed by Mike Harris) and other researchers in the 80’s. Mike and I interviewed his business partner who knew Bilimon well over decades of their working together 10 years ago. He vouches for his testimony, as he puts it “Honest beyond reproach, we all knew that if said he had done that, he had. It wasn’t a secret.”</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f4a5"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">7. She and Fred were flown by seaplane to Saipan. The plane was taken to Saipan by ship. The Electra was stored on Aslito field where dozens of local people saw it, both in its hangar and out of it. I’ve interviewed or collected interviews with 12 US Marines who saw it while they were fighting the battle for Saipan.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ad5f"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">8. Fred was reportedly executed for “being the spy.” They had two aerial Fairchild cameras on board, placed there while the plane was refurbished by the US Navy in Burbank. (The Navy mechanic who installed them is on record). Fred was executed early on for “being the spy” — and Amelia kept as a “bargaining chip” they never used.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2d4d"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">9. Saipan was part of the Japanese nation since 1914. They considered Saipan “homeland” and their Naval headquarters was based there. There was also a prison, one of 19 in the Japanese records from 1930’s to the end of the war. I’ve been to the library in Tokyo where they have all the known volumes of names and dates from all of their prisons and prisoners. Detailed, well kept records. When asked why the only volume missing was from Saipan, the librarian told me “these are the volumes that were returned from the US after the war.” Only one was missing; the prison in Saipan.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2c5c"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">10. Mike Harris and I filmed interviews with 5 US veterans who were on Saipan or knew about her presence there. One found her briefcase and passport in a safe. Another saw the same briefcase, and was the one who decoded the message “We have found Earhart’s plane on Aslito airfield” in July of 44.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="8dd6"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">(Why people pretend like they don’t know what they’re talking about, when they repeat the same exact story is beyond me. In Saipan, there were 200 islanders who reported seeing her there, in a recent trip there, fifteen new eyewitnesses came forward.)</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="c657"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">11. New eyewitnesses include a man whose mother tended to her in the hospital, who warned him not to tell anyone as the Japanese executed “spies.” Two 80 year olds who both saw her paraded around the island on the back of the truck. There were three Americans on the truck. (Fred had already been executed.) The other two were US pilots who were shot down prior to the US landing on Saipan, who were doing reconnaissance. Both of those pilots were executed, one shot, the other beheaded (and was the source of other reports of AE being shot or beheaded, as islanders knew about Americans who that happened to.) Those two pilots were part of an official military inquest after the war — their bodies were recovered to see if they had been the victims of torture (they were not.)</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="bb82"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">12. Amelia died of dysentery not long after being seen by these two islanders. (Both spoke of the same day, how she had been parked in front of their school for half an hour, neither had spoken about it until I interviewed them). As one man said “I was 12 years old. She was the first “caucasian” women I had ever seen, and she was wearing men’s clothing, her hands tied behind her back. It’s not something you would ever forget.” That was in May of 1944. (7 years after she arrived in Saipan).</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="803a"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">13. She died of dysentery. Her body was buried along with Noonan’s. Later, two GI’s Hansen and Burke reported to CBS correspondent in the 1960’s that they were ordered to dig them up. Later in an interview in the 1970’s (Chicago Tribune, UPI) they said “they had only found an arm and a partial ribcage.”</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="611d"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">14. Her body was moved, reportedly by the islanders who had cared for her, who didn’t feel she got a proper Christian burial. That’s why Hansen and Burke only found an arm and a partial ribcage.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="3573"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">15. The rest of her is still on Saipan. I have a pretty good idea of that location based on a number of factors; the Electra was burned (witnessed by multiple GI’s) and buried at the end of the runway (along with all the other crashed planes and detritus from the war). The end of the runway still exists. (The new airport was built in another direction)</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="6907"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">However, the NTSB investigator tells me that the steel structure of her plane would be intact, and as it was a unique size, and could be identified by proper ground penetrating radar.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e60f"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">That’s what happened.</em></strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="695c"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Why it hasn’t been told, is beyond my ability to comprehend. It wasn’t that hard to find or figure out — and I am a filmmaker who has spent years looking at a number of other unusual topics. I’ve written and or directed 8 theatrical features, and have worked on others. I worked on the film “Amelia” as a historian (digital media curator of all the footage, books, and details of her life) as well as a reference in the Diane Keaton version.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="cb96"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">At some point, because of the vitriol involved with the people who are most adamant about their search for her, I put together a documentary with the footage I’d shot, and let the concept go.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="01d4"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Yes, I know that if I went to Saipan I’d know where to find the plane, and I have a pretty good idea of where she’s buried — a place no one has looked before.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="032f"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">But that would require an Herculean effort. This guy spent 11 million looking for her in a place she never was. I’m sorry to report it, but frankly, am posting this because it’s tiresome to repeat the same story. It hasn’t changed.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5ce9"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">One day I will write my own book about my journey to this knowledge — because I’m not interested in proving anything to anyone. Some people cling to their beliefs because it is what keeps them on the planet. In my case, I appreciate the arguments, but having had numerous conversations with Amelia about her journey — with the help of mediums who work with law enforcement agencies nationwide, so I know how effective they can be — her story has never been told.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="025d"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">People focus on the wrong things.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="4342"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She landed the plane. Amazing achievement.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="0075"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She was the first POW of a war that didn’t begin for another 4 years.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f6c6"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She was asked to take spy cameras aboard her plane and chafed at the idea. “Imagine me being a spy?” is a comment overheard, much debated, but part of the record of her story. Indeed. <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Imagine.</em></strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1d2e"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Even so, it was Fred who was executed for being the spy — because he was the man. AE survived another 7 years in a difficult place to be in. But she exists today on the flipside, is available to anyone who really wants to know what happened.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="31b4"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">She’s funny, witty, and still has much to teach people on the planet. That’s not my opinion, theory or belief — it’s just what the footage, numerous interviews show.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="7c32"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">And that didn’t cost 11 million to report.</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ba0c"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"><em class="markup--em markup--p-em">She deserves a proper credit in history as to who she really was.

We will do a zoom call, takes at least an hour, maybe two - and there is no guarantee that one will "get anywhere."</p><p>TO BOOK A SESSION, SEND ME AN EMAIL AT <b>MARTINIPRODS@GMAIL.COM</b></p><p>I recommend doing this kind of thing only if you've already done "guided meditation" in the past. Could be with a yoga teachers, could be in a classroom setting - but basically it's the idea of doing a "meditation" where one speaks aloud what what they are imagining, what they are seeing.</p><p>If one has done hypnotherapy or had a hypnosis session it will be easier.</p><p>If one has not done any hypnotherapy and has done no meditation in the past, it will be more difficult (but not impossible.) The idea is to "close one's eyes" and imagine some nice place on the planet, picture that place, and then speak aloud what one sees.</p><p>"I'm sitting in a park in England - it's a place I used to like to go." And then describe the trees, the people walking by, etc. The idea is to free associate, and get used to speaking aloud about what one sees.</p><p>And then I can pick up from there and start to ask specific questions.</p><p>If one has read "Divine Councils in the Afterlife" or listened to it on Audible they have a fairly good idea of what to expect.</p><p>If someone wants to "speak to their loved one" who is no longer on the planet, I recommend booking a session with Jennifer Shaffer (<a href="http://JenniferShaffer.com">JenniferShaffer.com</a>) or someone like Kimberly Babcock. Both are friends and are highly adept at mediumship. Needless to say, Jennifer and I work together weekly on the podcast <a href="http://www.hackingtheafterlife.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hacking The Afterlife.</a></p><p>If someone wants to know about their previous lifetimes and access other details, I recommend Scott De Tamble in Los Angeles, <a href="http://LightBetweenLives.com">LightBetweenLives.com</a> - or Paul Aurand in NYC. There are many very talented hypnotherapists, and I would suggest that taking the time to do a four to six hour session may result in the most benefits.</p><p>However, I am skilled at this shorter version - a guided meditation where people can speak to one or two individuals that are related to them, their guides, their teachers, sometimes their council members.

My big question is why are some people so pressed and eager to deny without even looking at the data? It truly blows my mind.</strong></a></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="6a8a">Well, think about it.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="2916">If what the studies from UVA Medical school DOPS show — that consciousness is not confined to the brain, then the model of how we navigate the planet is flawed.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="f10f">Start with something obvious. A crime is committed. Perhaps someone dies from the event. The person is put on trial. They were drunk, or unaware of what they were doing. But then, before they are sentenced, the person who was killed comes to them and says “You weren’t at fault. Don’t blame yourself. This was something I worked out in advance. I’m okay, I’m home. I know you’re suffering from what happened, but you don’t need to. I’m okay.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="382c">This is the kind of thing that would upend law enforcement, how we function as a society. And it’s justifiable to say “That’s insane! That cannot be! That’s not how things work!” If someone stood up in court and claimed that their victim came to them and told them “I’m okay, I’m home” they’d be laughed out of court.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ae92">Wouldn’t they?</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="fc3a">Well, as noted in the book ITS A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE, I was approached by an attorney in a Western state who told me the following. In her practice as a lawyer defending second degree murderers (drunk driving mostly, but other accidents, mayhem) her clients were frequently “visited by their victims and told that everything was okay.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="9ea4">(From the chapter: I CAN HELP YOU in the book IT’S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE BOOK TWO)</p><p class="graf graf--p graf--empty" name="28a5"><br /></p><figure class="graf graf--figure" name="f54a"><img class="graf-image" data-height="1360" data-image-id="0*2TC2L5ccK_URHVh3.jpg" data-width="907" height="400" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/0*2TC2L5ccK_URHVh3.jpg" width="267" /></figure><p class="graf graf--p" name="5340"><a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.amazon.com/Its-Wonderful-Afterlife-Vol-Adventures/dp/0970449976?asin=0970449976&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1" href="https://www.amazon.com/Its-Wonderful-Afterlife-Vol-Adventures/dp/0970449976?asin=0970449976&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Its-Wonderful-Afterlife-Vol-Adventures/dp/0970449976?asin=0970449976&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1</a>)</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="6b78">I asked her how many clients she was referring to. She replied “Well, all of them. Over the past twenty years, either they had a dream, or a visitation — where they awoke and saw their victim standing in their room saying “I’m okay, I’m home, you don’t need to beat yourself up over my death.” I asked the attorney if the clients believed what they were seeing.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="60b7">She said “No.” Because that’s not in the lexicon. It’s not reported. They all were completely freaked out by it, some took their own lives, some went into drug use or alcohol, some went into religious conversions. None of them could process it.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="8586">Clearly it’s not something one can argue in court. “Your honor, my client says that his victim came through to say he was okay.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5953">However, it did happen in Seattle. A killer — a murderer of a family was in court, and was convicted of the murder. The jury was deciding the death penalty. When it came time for his statement, he said “I know this will sound crazy. But I had a visitation from my victims. They came to see me in my cell, and told me to tell you that they want me to live out my days in prison, because then at the very least I can try to help other people, try to pay my debt to society. They told me that they were okay, and this was part of a life plan that I wasn’t aware of.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="9d57">One juror found the fellow believable, and that juror’s vote gave this fellow life in prison instead of the death penalty.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="480a">Which frankly, is a ticket back home. Sending someone home before their time is what we do in our society — we logically feel that justice must include them suffering for their actions — only what the data, research and footage indicate is that “no one dies.” So gassing them, shooting them, electrocuting them may cause temporary pain — but they return home. They have a life review where they experience all the trauma they caused first hand — and future lifetimes may be affected by those actions — but they aren’t suffering. They’re home.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="aa33">So that’s one reason why people dismiss the data. They don’t want to hear it.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="5b63">But there’s something more important involved — which is that people sign up for their lifetime to learn or teach lessons. And the lessons they’re going to learn or teach may depend upon the belief that their religion is sacrosanct, that their belief system is unique, or that their disbelief system is accurate. That’s how humans spend years trying to cure illness — after all if they considered that “life goes on” they wouldn’t be in such a rush to save the life of their patient. Because they would be aware that “they may have planned this illness to learn from it, so they could be a doctor in a future lifetime.”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="cccf">I recommend not trying to convince anyone of anything.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="73a7">One can say “I’ve read Dr. Greyson’s book AFTER on his decades of near death case studies;” he was a skeptic who realized his bias was blocking his ability to see the data clearly. He’s aware now that consciousness isn’t confined to the brain. Dr. Tucker’s book BEFORE based on fifteen hundred historically accurate reincarnation cases, as Tucker studied with Ian Stevenson who founded the DOPS lab with Xerox money — and Carol Bowman his fellow student who wrote CHILDREN’S PAST LIVES — both are scientists who use the scientific method and protocols to investigate these cases.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="a34b">Both of them are now aware that consciousness is not confined to the brain.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="d111">So one can share these books — and shrug while saying “who knows?”</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="357c">It’s really not up to anyone, myself included, to change someone’s chosen path.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="92ac">The reason I created this forum HACKING THE AFTERLIFE is because some people are suffering immeasurably from the loss of loved ones, and I have seen people turn that around using hypnotherapy, mediumship or meditation. Seeing their loved one, or talking to them, or learning new information from them (as documented in DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE) is a life changing arena. It’s a place where we can share data, research or personal experiences with the flipside.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="e29b">I could say “have them watch SURVIVING DEATH on Netflix where they visit the DOPS lab, or watch AFTER DEATH where they examine near death events with scientists, or look at FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON or HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Amazon. All demonstrate methods for people to access loved ones on their own.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="a09f">But God forbid people would be forced to consider something they don’t want to consider.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="78cb">Not everyone buys a book and reads the ending first, not everyone buys a ticket for a play and standing in line wants to hear “how it’s going to end.” Part of the joy, the beauty, is in the living it, experiencing it, learning the lessons we’ve signed up for.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="ce6c">We all are walking each other home — whether one wants to believe that or preach that is an individual choice. My advice is; leave some breadcrumbs if needed, but otherwise, enjoy the show.</p><p class="graf graf--p" name="606e"><a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="https://www.quora.com/profile/Karen-Maloney-Solt" href="https://www.quora.com/profile/Karen-Maloney-Solt" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">Karen</strong></a><strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong"> S</strong></p><p class="graf graf--p" name="1372">Of all your excellent answers, Richard, this is the best I’ve read.</p><figure class="graf graf--figure" name="4aa6"><img class="graf-image" data-height="200" data-image-id="0*loC8GvirnMFIWTKE.jpeg" data-width="200" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/0*loC8GvirnMFIWTKE.jpeg" /></figure><p class="graf graf--p graf--empty" name="132d"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157431.post-50322062101978032472024-01-03T17:30:00.000-08:002024-01-03T17:30:07.710-08:00FLIPSIDE CLIP OF DUANE VISIT ON ALL SAINTS DAY - COURTESY THE DEDMORE FAMILY<b><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/GIqTlIgYxN8?si=96n7nxLf6AwYI4az" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GIqTlIgYxN8/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe></span></b><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I moderate a forum on Quora called "Hacking the Afterlife." Sometimes people send a private message about something that has occurred. A few days ago, I got an email about some unusual footage that was on a security camera above the garage, or what appeared to be a "visitation" from a beloved father who had just passed away. I looked over the footage, and having been in court as an expert witness to security cam footage, in my opinion, it's genuine.
I've seen other footage from the same camera later in the evening with no light in it - based on how the shadows appear, and how the light creates no shadow of its own, how one of the boys appears to see it, the way it was presented to me, seeing other cars pass normally in the background with no reflective surfaces - I would offer my "expert" opinion that it is genuine security cam footage.
As fans of the Hacking the Afterlife podcast know, sometimes I seek assistance from medium/intuitive Jennifer Shaffer who works with law enforcement agencies nationwide. Jennifer and I have been recording our conversations with the flipside for 8 years (four books, BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 and 3, and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE) a 2 years as a podcast. During the podcast I brought it up.
In our New Year's day podcast (2024) we spoke to a number of people offstage, but as an experiment, I invited "Duane" to chat with us. I have never met him or his family - and I had just viewed the footage the night before and asked his wife what his first name was.
I asked if he wanted to chat with us. Jennifer reported "He says it is him in the video." (She has not seen the video, and had not seen it when we recorded the podcast.) She then mentions his two children - as well as "his family of six." (Which I learned later was accurate.)
His wife has confirmed Jennifer's accuracy and wrote; "Jennifer has a real gift and I am so grateful that I was directed somehow to reach out to you. To be honest with you I had never watched or listened to your podcast until you responded to my email."
There are fifteen hours of footage of this light disc moving in the front yard, and is apparently seen by one of the boys. This is a 5 minute version if someone wants further info, license the footage, or write a story about this event, the email for inquiries is dedmoremichelle@gmail.com
This is not something she expected, had not sent it to me to publicize the loss of her husband and the boys father in any way. After discussing it with her, the main idea of posting it is that it might help someone who is suffering over the loss of a loved one, "to allow for the possibility they might still exist and be able to communicate with them" Something I've been doing for fifteen years, and was startled to hear directly from Duane that he had created the light, and how he discusses how he did so. It's one thing to see footage of something like this, and another to hear from the source how they crafted it.
This was filmed three days before his funeral, on "All Saints Day."
Ironic and very touching. (We do have loved ones who keep an eye on us.)
If one wants to share data, research or experiences with the flipside, they can do so on our forum Hacking the Afterlife on Quora. https://hackingtheafterlife.quora.com/

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Another mind bending
podcast. As noted, Jennifer Shaffer and I have been doing these weekly meetings
for 8 years. It was not long after John McCain's passing that I was
upstairs in my apt. and heard his voice say "I understand you're the guy to
get a message to my family." I was startled - I didn't know him, met his
chief of staff while researching "Three for the Road" in DC, but had
no connection to him. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Yet I could tell it was
his voice. I said to him what I say to everyone "I'm not in charge of that
- but if you can get on Luana Ander's guest list we're happy to chat with
you." He had a private message for his daughter, which I passed along through
a radio producer we both know - and I have no idea what she thought of someone
claiming to "hear her father." I know I would be dubious about
it. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">But I said I would and
I did. And as noted, when RFK's voice showed up one day in my apt - clear as a
bell, I was startled to hear it. Again - I said "Well, if you want
to pass a message to your family, you need to speak to Luana." And we did
pass a message along to his family, and as noted, that family member thanked me
for doing so. It's not up to us whether people take these messages
seriously - however if I can figure out a way to pass along a message I will do
so. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">In today's podcast,
John appeared in a dream I had last night, talking about opening up a
"McCain's Pub" or "McCain's joint" - a place where people
from both sides of the political spectrum could meet - talk about politics
without the fervor. Perhaps do karaoke - maybe a folk singer - and people could
listen and perhaps not argue. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Doesn't mean they're
going to change their opinions about anything - but it would be more civil.
It's not something I've ever thought of - and like Jennifer notes, politics is
the last thing we want to stir people up about. But he pointed this out in
the dream - and talked about it on the podcast. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Was surprised to hear
JFK and RFK stopped by - as they did not previously. When we first
interviewed Maverick - LBJ stopped by, and later Nixon, then Lincoln, then Mary
Todd Lincoln. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">It's all in BACKSTAGE
PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE. I try to ask the same questions to all of them. If they
can add some kind of insight into our world, I'm happy to share it. I do
have conservatives in my family tree - and hopefully we survive the upcoming
election. But either way - I love the concept of "before you respond, calm

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">This past week I
attended the "Contact in the Desert" conference run by Ron Janix
("Captain Ron") in Indian Wells. It was a lot of fun and had a great
time hearing Paul Hynek, Matthew James Bailey and others. I wanted to
meet Paul Hynek because when I was in grade school in Northbrook Illinois, my
Catholic nun science teacher Sister Delfine (later Sister Anne) got me to do a
State Science fair project. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Her friend at
Northwestern was roped into being my mentor, and that happened to be the famous
J. Allen Hynek, who in 1969 was working on Project Blue Book. (The Air Force
book about UFO's.) Later his book about "Close Encounters" was the
genesis of the title of the feature film, and he appears on the film as
well. So when Jennifer sees an image of Richard Dreyfus, I knew why. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">It's a mind bending
podcast - again - as I've been scheduled to appear on Coast to Coast with
George Noory next Wednesday 6-14-23 at 10 pm to midnight west coast time.
So Luana Anders (our moderator on the flipside) suggested we talk about that -
and Jennifer had no idea I was going to be on the show, and no idea that I had
met J. Allen Hynek's son Paul. There is a podcast on the page with J. Allen
Hynek - mentioned before - so it's possible we're revisiting information I've
already mentioned. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">But I didn't know how
many kids he had (Jennifer did) and asked him questions that he might have
considered on the flipside since departing in the 1980's. Anyways, then
Charles Darwin stopped by - and as noted in the podcast, one of his great grandchildren
is one of Jennifer's clients. I ask him the same questions I ask
everyone, and we asked him before about what it was like to find oneself on the
flipside. He passed in the 1880's. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">Finally, JFK Jr.
stopped by - as noted because a friend of Jennifer's is making a documentary,
but I took the opportunity to ask him a few simple questions about his journey.
For the record, he left the planet with his wife in a plane crash back in 1999.
But if someone is going to show up while we're on the air, I ask them the same
questions. Hope this helps someone.</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NyV3wK3oyRI?si=qPkluNS2CL_bhPMv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

Edition." Jennifer and I left our "request list" open to anyone
who wanted to pop in. From Sargent Shriver, to John McCain ("sweet
revenge" was his reply to "what's your opinion of the result?")
JFK's response to "Why was the Texas delegation celebrating on the 2nd
plane home from Dallas?" is one for the ages. Sargent Shriver had a
message for his daughter Maria. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">I must report that I
was wrong about the number of children he had... there are only 5 children.

children and grandchildren. Jennifer refers "he's telling me there are 9"
he mentions - it may be that he has 19 grandchildren. My error. Had only 5
children, but 19 grandchildren. We had no idea who might appear, and I did my

nutshell) "Stop looking at each other as red and blue cars - we're all on
the same highway." Abe Lincoln weighed in the with the most powerful
advice: "Our democracy is worth LOVING FOR." (His words. Not

fight over things you cannot control. Find the things that you are grateful

hate? Ask for what you should feel; what you can do to raise your own
vibration. Practice making contact to become more comfortable. Honest Abe:
“(your country) is worth loving for.” Love your neighbor. Loving is the new
fighting. Everything will be okay." <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
