My Life After Life

At the tail end of the "coast to coast" broadcast, I mentioned a book called "My Life After Life" - I'm mentioning it again because of an email I read the other day regarding the book.

Galen's book

It was written by Galen Stoller - a 16 year old boy who passed away a few years ago. His father, a pediatrician, had a friend who is a psychic and he reached out to her to see if he could contact his son. He did. And the son suggested to his dad that he "write a book." So the dad set about writing one - and after a year admitted that he just couldn't finish it. The son said "No dad, not a book about you - a book about me, written by me."

So they set about doing so. He channeled what his son was experiencing in the afterlife and wrote it down. It's a vivid pretty mind blowing vision of what happens when we die. I become interested in the book when I read about classrooms in the Afterlife that Galen was attending. For those of you who've read "Flipside," these classrooms are reported quite a bit - and have been reported in James Van Praagh's book "Talking to Heaven" and other places. In the film "Flipside" I recount my own between life session where it felt like I visited a couple of these classrooms.

I also wanted to know if the father (or the son) had known about reports of classrooms in the afterlife from any afterlife research - the father told me that he hadn't, nor had his son. The accounts of these classrooms is pretty uniform - what I've gathered from my own research is that they are usually classes in energy transference - I visit two such classrooms in "Flipside" but from the point of view of an interloper - in Galen's case, he's a student in one of the chairs in his own classes.

But something happened the other day that will give this account further resonance. The father got an email from a woman in St. Louis whose husband died. They'd spent 50 years together and were very close. She has a friend who is a medium, and the medium offered to contact her husband for her. In the session, the husband said "there's a boy over here, his name is Galen and he's written a book. It has a red cover and a picture of Galen on the cover. I think it would help you understand what its like over here."

In her own words:"I first heard about Galen’s book from my husband, who is on the other side. I was having a reading and (my husband) started describing a book with a red and green cover and gave the title. The reader (medium) hadn’t heard about it because it had just been published. I got the book, read it as fast as I could. it is a beautiful book. Then the next reading I had with my husband, we discussed it. He wanted me to have more insight into what it was like where is now, although he stressed that it wasn’t just Galen’s environment but close... I asked him if he knew Galen and he said no, but the book was known there." --

The medium says she'd never heard of the book or the title. The father had just self published it, so it wasn't widely known. But the deceased husband said "I'm not in the same place as Galen, but his book accurately describes the journey and passage here." The woman wrote to Galen's dad to thank him for publishing this book - which her husband had led her to.

For me, I'm happy to know that our work - here or there - can be observed or examined. Wow. Perhaps bookstores over there are doing better than they are over here!

Coast to Coast

Thanks to all of you who tuned in last night, and have written such lovely notes today. It's this odd construct - two strangers talk on the phone as if they're old friends, and every twenty minutes or so one friend says "And we'll be right back to talk about fantastic stories from the Flipside and author Rich Martini" - and then you hear an ad for Ancestry.com or Elton John playing "Your Song." And then you repeat that for three hours.

Did my best to tell the story as it was told to me. As I'm fond of saying "don't shoot the messenger." I'm not espousing a belief system here - I'm just reporting what thousands have said while under deep hypnosis about the afterlife - and our journey and choices to come back here. All you need is love, is what they say. Love is all there is. Love to all of you. Here's the clip from the coasttocoastam.com website:

Afterlife & Reincarnation

Date:	09-11-12
Host:	George Noory
Guests:	Richard Martini, Stewart Rhodes

Journalist and filmmaker Rich Martini discussed his incredible journey finding evidence for the afterlife, life between lives, and "soul groups." He extensively interviewed Dr. Michael Newton, known for his pioneering work on life between lives. Newton put some 7,000 people under deep hypnosis over a 30-year period, and found a number of commonalities amongst his clients regarding reincarnation and the afterlife. For instance, he discovered that people had a specific color associated with them during their between-lives world that was related to their spiritual progression or age of their souls. Martini filmed a number of people's hypnotherapy sessions, including his own. One of the sessions was with a woman who experienced being a holocaust victim in a past life. During her between-lives state, she said she met with a Council of Elders, who surprisingly told her that "it was harder to play the role of a perpetrator than a victim."

According to Martini's research, while in the between-lives world, we conduct a planning session, often with members of our soul group, deciding who is going to play what role in the next lifetime. People typically have between 3 to 25 members in their soul group, and when they find each other, there is a sense that they are "home," he said. A commonality Martini found, is that when people are regressed they say their soul enters a new fetus at around the four months mark. Interestingly, only 1/3 of the person's soul goes into the body and the rest resides in the spiritual realm, and is only reunited at physical death, he continued.

He shared details of his own lengthy hypnotic regression, in which he experienced a previous life as an Indian Medicine Man, and attended a classroom about "energy reconstruction" during the between-lives state. For more, check out a trailer for his documentary, FlipSide. Martini also touched on his extensive research into the fate of Amelia Earhart. He interviewed a number of witnesses who saw her plane in a hangar in Saipan. He concluded that she was held prisoner by the Japanese (who probably thought she was a spy) from 1937-42, and was executed after United States shelled Saipan.
