TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE - How to Stay in Touch with the Flipside

TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE

My 9th symphony. Available in all formats; hard cover, soft cover, kindle, audible. Listen, read, laugh, cry, then start over again because there's a lot in here.

Inspired by my concert pianist mom, Anthy Martini, whose nimble fingerwork can be heard here: AnthyMartini.com

In hard cover, soft cover, kindle and audible. My dulcet tones recalling musical events in my life, and reports from the afterlife.

 How music doesn't die, how we don't die, how it's all about tuning into the frequency to continue the story. 

Mind bending to say the least, but don't take my word for it - plenty of folks we chatted with on the flipside about their music while they were on the planet weigh in on what music is, what is represents in terms of emotional language and how it's a way to stay in touch with them and our loved ones. Enjoy. 





TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE: HOW TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE FLIPSIDE Kindle Edition



This is the Ninth Book of Richard Martini's Journey into the Flipside. Starting with "Flipside: A tourist's guide on how to Navigate the afterlife" Richard has been filming people under hypnosis talking about the afterlife, as well as filming people not under hypnosis talking about the afterlife. He's done interviews with mediums who work with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases ("Backstage Pass to the Flipside" with Jennifer Shaffer books 1, 2 and 3). 
He and Jennifer have a podcast where they weekly speak directly to folks no longer on the planet. (HackingTheAfterlife.com) The last book was "Architecture of the Afterlife" where he used the example of his father, R. Charles Martini, an architect in Chicago who taught him how to read a blueprint. 
In this book, he focuses on the knowledge his mother gave him, a concert pianist who used to perform regularly in Washington during WWII, who often invited the first chairs of the Chicago Symphony to their home. That began a lifetime in music, including performing with bands in LA ("Imminent Disaster") composing music for feature films ("Point of Betrayal" "Cannes Man"). 
In his interviews with mediums (Jennifer Shaffer, Kimberly Babcock, Raylene Nuanes) different musicians would come through to discuss what it was like for them on the flipside. By realizing he could ask more detailed questions from people who are no longer were on the planet, he took this musical journey into the "the afterlife." 
As Gary Schwartz PhD said about "Flipside" - "Once you've read this book, you'll never see the world in the same way again." 
A best selling author, he's an award winning filmmaker who has written and/or directed 9 films, documentaries "Flipside" and "Hacking the Afterlife" are available online. 
Praise for "Architecture of the Afterlife" - "One of the things that makes this book so compelling and justifiable, IS the amount of EVIDENCE Martini amasses to backup the interviews, experiences and explorations undertaken here" 
"Eye opening, fascinating, and entertaining" Another home run for Rich Martini." 
"Thought provoking, and just plain fun. I absolutely loved this book!"

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Bill Paxton


This is one of those podcasts about process. 


Me and Luana hanging out in Venice

As usual we had nothing on our agenda, but Luana did. At some point she interrupted me (what else is new?) to get Jennifer to say "Luana wants to talk about something." 

I know this is problematic for some people. As I note in the podcast, it's not my opinion, theory or belief that I've been filming people for the past ten years accessing the flipside, it's on film.  It's literally footage.

Take a look at the films "Flipside" or "Hacking the Afterlife" on Amazon Prime. To those who have a problem with this process, find your own. People have suggested I interrupt Jennifer too often; my response is, "Sorry. But book your own session with Jennifer and you can do all the non interrupting you want."

We bring this public service to people because it's not hard to speak to loved ones in the after life. Some claim it is - we're showing it's not.  People pretend it is, but if one takes the time to do the research, look at the clinical case studies, look at the research that shows consciousness is not confined to the brain, their adamant refusal to consider it possible is mind bending.  It is possible. One doesn't need a medium, or a hypnotherapist - but both help.

As to why we do this podcast, as Jennifer notes, about 30% of her time speaking to the flipside is in service of law enforcement. She does that work pro bono - for the public good. It's her version of "tithing."

In my case I've been very clear since publishing "Flipside" in 2012. I've been filming people with or without hypnosis since 2008. 100 cases - half without hypnosis. What they say on camera matches the clinical case studies of Dr. Helen Wambach (a clinical psychologist who did 2750 case studies) or Dr. Brian Weiss (has done 4000 case studies) or Michael Newton and the Newton Institute, who have done over 7000 sessions with people. My version of tithing is to post this podcast, over 100's of hours of footage on this webpage at MartiniZone.com on Youtube.

For those adamant skeptics, look at the peer reviewed science from Dr. Greyson's "After" and his comprehensive NDE research, or Dr. Tucker's "Before" and his 1500 cases studies of reincarnation, or Ed Kelly's "Consciousness Unbound" - peer reviewed science citing how consciousness is not confined to the brain. All gave me a tour of UVA's lab at the DOPS part of the Medical School.  It's directly related to why we do this podcast.

Subjective experience can be studied based on the 100's of examples. If everyone said something different, then we'd have the argument of bias, or projection. Having filmed people saying the same things with or without hypnosis, having mediums report the same things with friends of mine, shows that it cannot be cryptomnesia or my projections. (In the film "Talking to Bill Paxton" on Gaia I had three mediums answer the same questions put to Bill, and all said the same answers, including the one who was asked the questions by a third party. (Triple blind study)

The only thing confined to the brain is opinion, cemented in years of people arguing that experiences mean nothing, that events that occur are meaningless without "mainstream science" weighing in. It took 66 years to go from Kitty Hawk to the Moon, not from the scientists who said people would "never escape gravity" or people who claimed flight was impossible.

Science asks two main things; reports must be consistent and reproducible.  It's the basis of all data.  In this case, we are getting a "hack" from someone who left the planet in 1996.  She has made it a point to wrangle me out of my director's chair (I've written and or directed 9 theatrical feature films) and put me into this podcast chair where I have learned more than I ever could have filming people pretend to be someone they are not.

So enjoy the podcast, at the moment it's free, and given with love. Enjoy a little sage advice coming from the flipside.

Memorializing Memorial Day and some evidence of the flipside

Mom, myself and Luana traipsing around Rome.
"Dad, why are you taking this picture?"
This question came in via Quora, where I randomly answer questions about the Flipside:

"I truly enjoy your entries. Thank you for sharing the information that you have found. Could I ask one question, though? What drove you to investigate this? Your content is like none other I have experienced before. How did you come about it?"

My answer:

"My best friend Luana Anders died. She started visiting me in dreams. Later that year, I was working in NYC on the Charles Grodin show (Charles was a great friend, and we became friends through her.) 

I had seen James Van Praagh on Larry King and suggested we bring him on to see if he could converse with her. (Charles isn't a believer or non believer - he likes to remain open to both sides of any discussion).

So we designed an experiment. I called in the show directly from my home. Only Charles knew I was calling in.

James Van Praagh mentioned a few things, but two jumped out. The cocktail glass collection reference (my last name inspires comic gifts) and a photo on my refrigerator. It was the only photo I’ve ever put up where I said aloud - “Oh look: the essence of our relationship.” (Drinking cappuccinos and laughter. It's reported in “Flipside") 

The photograph on my fridge he was referring to. There was only one.
When I put it up I said aloud "THE ESSENCE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP"

When he mentioned it I knew only one person in existence could know the story behind this photograph that he mentioned live on the air.

Later our 3 year old son wouldn't go upstairs. I asked him why. He pointed to the staircase and told me a woman was visiting him. I said “Who is visiting you?” He took me into the kitchen and pointed to THIS PHOTO on the fridge. 

Worried he might never go upstairs again, I asked “Does she frighten you?” 

He said “Dad. You can see right through her!”

I thought it over and said “Well, does she say anything to you?“ 

He nodded. “She says “I love you.” 

I replied, “Well… that doesn't sound scary, does it?” 

He paused, sighed and said “Okay" and went upstairs to bed. 

(From "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife.")

Once one proves to themselves their loved ones still exist - experience won't prove it to anyone else, because it’s experiential - one stops wondering. 

I started designing more ways to film or capture that experience. Hence the past ten years, two documentaries ("Flipside" and "Talking to Bill Paxton" on Gaia) and 8 books about the Flipside research. 

Here’s the clip where James Van Praagh mentions the photograph - believe, don't believe - but this was the moment I realized there actually is a flipside:



My two cents

Interview with Pan Society talking to the Flipside

I was contacted by Laura of the Pan Society about appearing on her blog broadcast.  She was casually familiar with posts I've made about accessing the flipside.  When we finally connected, she suggested that we do a show about "evil and pain in the afterlife."
Laura Giles Pan Society
I jokingly said "Well, that interview would be me saying one sentence, and then we'd have the rest of the hour to discuss."  As I mentioned in my note to her this morning:

"Thanks for recording it. I will send you a transcript as soon as I can... it's worth looking over to see what else you may have recalled or remembered.  That is why I try to emphasize "learning new information."  The idea that you have had guides around you, that can communicate with you (including the fabulous "Pearl") is something you already know.  

But in this interview you got to learn more new information about them - including sort of what they present themselves as, the qualities of you that they represent, and how they can help guide you if need be.  (And guided you into my world).  

Just fabulous to meet them and you, and thanks for allowing us to take that adventure.  

As I said, if we had done a show about "evil and pain," I would have said "Well, based on the research, both of those are relative to this planet, that they don't exist per se, but are a produce of an ideation or mental construct of trying to navigate this lifetime."  

And then we would have spent an hour discussing how that may or may not be reflected in both our research.  

But instead - we got to explore a whole world - and wow! I forgot! We spoke to a pool of water.  I just got a chill recalling that.  

I can tell you that in doing the same kinds of explorations, I had a scientist with a PhD have a conversation with a "rock" that she held up out of a riverbed in her "place of healing" - I've had numerous conversations with trees - each one different, each one the person saw the tree, went up to the tree, I asked them to hug the three - and then to describe if they "felt anything about the tree that was unusual" and they all said "There's an entity here."  

Some described their lifetime on the planet (I remember one said they lived 640 years on earth, and considered humans no different than the insects that crawled over her - perhaps a bit more dangerous but no less or more important) - and like I said, the one who dropped the "plant a trillion trees" idea on me.  I later discovered they estimate there are 3 trillion trees on the planet - so that's not an insignificant amount, but obviously would make a dent in climate change. 

I've also asked about the "cleaning salt water" process in the past (from scientists like Hawking, Einstein, Sagan or Tesla) and all gave variations of the SAME things you mentioned. I don't know how much science you have in your background - but you mentioned (or the water mentioned) the same things that these sage physicists offered... so... WOW.

Like I say - I'm glad Pearl reminded me to take you there. I really was about to wrap it up, and had this thought "Pearl is telling you to take her to a place of healing."  I know what a place of healing refers to - it was short hand, I often ask a person at the end of our discussion to go there - but I wasn't about to, and it did pop into my head as if Pearl put it there.  

I try not to judge whatever I hear, sense or see during these sessions... it's easy to do afterwards, but while its occurring I've found I've had many unusual questions pop up.

I don't know about you, but I was exhausted yesterday after our hour - I mean as if "holding focus" for that long was exhausting. And I wasn't doing any of the work!  I was just holding on to what you were saying... and allowing questions to "bubble forth" to see what we might learn.

So - obviously you have an open channel to these folks. And if you have a hypnotherapist you "trade" with - meaning someone you trust to take you back there, you should pursue this on some level. I know Scott De Tamble (lightbetweenlives.com) my pal who was trained by Michael Newton and has let me film a number of sessions with him, has hypnotherapist friends and they do sessions "over the phone" like we did, skipping ahead to ask questions or get answers for things they're working on.  Something you have the obvious capacity to do!

Will send over the transcript as soon as I can."

Here's the interview:


As I posted on Facebook today:

Unusual podcast yesterday with Laura Giles of the Pan Society. A demonstration that a person doesn't have to use hypnosis to access the flipside. In her field, she was aware of her guides, but not with the kind of detail we explored. (A deep hypnosis session is preferable, as that can assist in long term healing.) 

This is a simple demonstration that shows a person always has assistance from the flipside. (Her guides say the same things others do). 

Warning: once you listen to this podcast you will never see water with the same eyes. If you don't want your consciousness filter altered I recommend NOT listening to the entire conversation. 

If you do then I suggest it's because your guides want you to open yourself up to the possibility. (For other examples with same results see Martinizone.com)

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Dead Redemption and the Flipside

A few thoughts on the Redemption of Arthur Morgan...

Arthur Morgan in RDR2 and Roger Clark who plays him.

I won't get into the particulars of this epic game that others have covered.  (Red Dead Redemption 2) My point is that as technology improves, we are able to experience "life online" the way that we experience "life offline."

For fans of my research into the Flipside, there are multiple layers of the meaning of "offline" and "online."

In the 50 deep hypnosis cases I've filmed, and the thousands I've examined from Dr. Helen Wambach and Michael Newton ("Journey of Souls") they report consistently that life "here on the planet" or "online" is like a performer going on stage, choosing props, a costume, a role, doing their best at learning something or teaching lessons, and then when the play is over, they drop the costume, props and leave the stage.

Where do people go after their "lifetime" on stage?

They go "home."  



In the first case I was filming for the film "Flipside: A Journey into the Afterlife" a woman in a conference in Chicago was recalling her last moments on earth during her lifetime that ended in a gas chamber in Auschwitz.  I was startled by what she was saying for a number of reasons - I later found her records online, I later was able to confirm who she had been, I was startled because she was giving such a graphic description of a difficult lifetime the first time I turned my camera on to film one.

But more importantly, when she was asked after the end of this difficult lifetime where she went, she said "Home."
"Flipside" is about the research of
Michael Newton

At first I wondered if she was talking about the town in upstate New York this woman was from, or if she meant Warsaw, the town that this woman had remembered growing up in and being torn out of it.  Neither in fact.  


She was referring to "home" as in - where we all come from.

Since then I've had people give various descriptions of "home" - the hallmarks are the same, "a place of warmth, no judgment, unconditional love" but the visuals are not.  Sometimes people see their loved ones, sometimes they see guides, teachers (yes, even ones "wearing wings" which appear to be a visual metaphor for speed and not countenance) - but be that as it may, they all say the same thing about where they go after the memory of a previous lifetime.

Home.
Home?

So that forces us to look at the stage they were just on. People consistently report that they "chose their lifetime" that they chose a life with difficulties, with the possibility to learn or teach or love - sometimes they choose difficult lifetimes, sometimes they choose incredibly difficult lifetimes.  In this woman's case, she said that between lives her guides showed her that she had the option of playing different roles, including a "perpetrator."  She said "from what I'm seeing, I know this is hard to express, but from my perspective, I'm glad I chose the role I did instead of the perpetrators, because they had a harder time of it."


Easily the most difficult sentence I've come across in this research, but it was on the very first day I started filming,the first person that I filmed.  She went on to say "Every day in the camp was like an intense lesson in many topics; compassion, forgiveness, redemption, love. But from my perspective, I'm glad I chose what I did in that lifetime."

Which brings me to Arthur Morgan.





Like Jumanji.  We play an avatar.  In this case, the avatar happens to be a bad guy with potential.
If you're playing the game and don't know what happens in Red Dead Redemption 2, STOP READING NOW.

Our family had not seen the original game, so we had no clue as to what would happen or how this game might end.  Our son played it over spring break, and has been caught up in the world of Arthur for weeks. 

I too enjoyed decoding some of the things he would find - the references to Nikola Tesla (there's a lightning shack in Colorado, reminiscent of Tesla's own lab), the references to how slavery hadn't changed men's minds even 20 years later, to many sorts of political easter eggs buried inside this vast amazing story.  (Winning points by killing off the KKK, for example.)

The CGI is so brilliant, that one feels as if they've been horseback riding for most of the day. The gunfire is pretty frightening as well.  But overall, one gets a sense of "time and place."

But there's much more to this game - because at some point, it becomes apparent that our hero, the outlaw Arthur, has a chance at redemptionThe choices that he makes become more about "saving" lives than taking them, more about "helping others" than robbing them.  Like in life, we all have a choice to choose which path to take.  And there are consequences here while having that journey - but those same consequences in the game lead to its conclusion.

Are you someone who is a helping hand? Or are you a cruel person caught up in the same cycle of violence?  Those choices predict how you'll end up.  We had no idea of where this story was headed - and the ending, as played, brought us all to tears.  Someone whom we had come to know, who had changed his stripes during the course of the story, someone that my son came to know and understand - was no longer on the planet.  And there's no way to reincarnate inside of this person any longer - the only way to view "what happens next" is to shift consciousness into someone else.

A bit like life.  Well, alot like life.

We are here, and we play our role - and depending upon our choices, actions, we will find ourselves at the end of our journey looking back upon what we forgot to do, who we didn't help, and what the consequences of those actions are.  In my son's case, his "honor" had risen to the highest amount he could get, as a result his passing was filled with beautiful music, and a gorgeous last sunrise on the planet.  

However, we weren't prepared for this outcome - and when we realized we were in someone else's consciousness looking at our own tombstone - that was as impactful as that sentence sounds.  Like looking down at your feet and seeing your name carved in stone.  "Here Lies You."  "Wait a second! I wasn't ready to leave the planet yet! You mean I have no option to save myself? To continue on?"

Well... yes and no.  

No, we have no option to continue on as the person we once were.  For those of us who were once caterpillars, indeed, the chrysalis is the end of the line. That's it. No more crawling on leaves, chomping on green objects, or spinning silk. We don't do that anymore. But we do have this other option - to fly. To open our wings and take off.  We can come back and visit this earth at any time, but it would be insane to not open up those wings and try them out.


Real Arthurs.

So Arthur is a character that exists in time and space.  

My wife had a dream about Arthur last night - saw him riding his horse in a field of yellow daisies.  When she woke up she remembered the last time she saw those daisies - in a dream she had about her dog the night he died.  She said she was in a field, but there was a turnstyle that prevented her from going over to where her dog was - romping through this giant field of daisies.

I pointed out the turnstyle represented a metaphor for us "not being able to go over there."  But also the field of daises represented the flipside - as I've noted often, we create our own paradise once we return.  And by dreaming of the field of daises - with a character and his horse no less! - she was seeing what that would have meant in our world.

But then one has to ask - does Arthur exist, or does he not exist? Certainly he was created by an actor (the way Travis Bickle existed, or Ethan Hunt) and by seeing them in our dreams, we can see that it's a metaphor for what we perceive. But in this case - my wife was seeing a character and his horse in the afterlife.  Easy to say "because she wanted to" but wasn't aware of how that field of daisies represented the flipside.  Unfortunately for her, she's married to someone who can.

Indeed, an actor went in and spent the better part of five years inhabiting this fellow - that is the voice of actor Roger Clark - and the essence of who Roger Clark is, is also the essence of who Arthur Morgan is.  His comments to his horse,  his conversations with strangers, native Americans, bad guys, bandits, good guys, Pinkertons - all filtered through who Roger is.  And that avatar now exists in some other world.  Not the flipside per se, but somewhere.

I just wanted to comment on how Red Dead Redemption 2 captures the essence of this flipside research; imagine the writers sitting around creating his story the way that guides and teachers sit around and come up with a story for a person choosing a lifetime, how they can argue what the best outcome would be - how they give the person tests and options to take, how it's up to free will for them to follow the "good path" of learning or to screw up, and not accomplish what they set out to do.  

How ego, wrath, anger, jealousy, cowardice, lying - all can lead to unhappy, unfulfilled outcomes - and how the opposite can lead to much more entertaining, learning outcomes.  And when the avatar who plays this character is done with their journey, the writers are there to applaud their return, to compliment the actor on all that they accomplished, learned, taught or experienced.

And on to the next play.

As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. 

At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. 

And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. 

Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. 

And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. 

The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. 

Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

Oblivion? Or the flipside.  It's your choice.

Farewell to an old friend Over the Rainbow

A good pal checked off the planet a few weeks ago.  Today I hear of the passing of Gene Wilder, an old dear friend of an old dear friend of mine - and sorry to hear of his checking off the planet.  I know that he was madly in love with Gilda Radner, and since she's off the planet already having her adventures, I can only say it's great they get to hang out together again.

His stepson Jordan wrote an eloquent testimonial to Gene, and noted that as he passed, he was listening to Ella Fitzgerald's "Over the Rainbow."


 

In the case of my old pal, I went to his home with some friends and we celebrated his life.  His life was about the length of mine - which anyone will tell you is WAY TOO SOON for anyone to be checking off the planet.  But what can you do?


Jonathan Krane
I met Jonathan Krane over three decades ago - and for some godforsaken reason he saw potential in me,and hired me to write and/or direct four films.  

We had many laughs while making those four films.  I'm aware that he was considered a tempestuous fellow - all I can say is what I experienced was someone who made me laugh alot.  It's hard to make one film together, but there has to be a certain amount of shared insanity to be able to make four together (one short and three features.)

I was thinking about this at his home the other day when we did a memorial.  One of his old friends, the actor Bud Cort brought some white balloons and handed them out.  And a few of us told stories about him and his journey.  When it came to me, I told of how I had met this fellow, how we had worked together, and how I had seen him only a few weeks ago,happy and looking foward to our making another film together.  

That while Jonathan had made many films with A list movie stars (John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Blake Edwards) I represented that group of odd filmmakers and artists he supported and gave their first start to. (Keith Gordon, Steve Summers, Paul Feig among others.)  I said just because no one has seen our four films doesn't mean they aren't fun films (I don't have to hide my head, can still watch any of them) and they wouldn't exist without his support.


With Randal Kleiser, Helena Bonham Carter
I remarked that Jonathan reminded me a bit of a rainbow. 

 A rainbow is something that we all see individually - according to Neil deGrasse Tyson - no one sees the same rainbow that another sees.  

It depends on our perception, where we are standing etc.  Each rainbow is unique to whomever is seeing it, and how we experience it.  

I submit that applies to basically everyone that we meet on the planet.   We experience them differently than many others do - sometimes postively sometimes not - but in my case, my friend and I had many laughs together. 


Great pic - he's searching for an answer
But then I thought about - "What happens to the rainbow when it's done?"  Does it die?  No. It just shifts form. You can't see it any more.  All the same elements are there - moisture in the air, light, etc.  But for some reason you can no longer see the rainbow.  It's not gone - it existed, relatively, and it no longer can be seen the way that it was seen before.  But it's just changed in perception.  Not gone, just not visible.

Like life.  When we depart, we're not gone, we're just not visible.


With his wife, my old pal Sally Kellerman
I thought about what might have been the pot of gold in this lifetime for me friend. What was the reason for his being on the planet, and where did he find his gold? And I realized it was his family - his wife Sally, his kids, they were the things most important to him... as it was the one thing he always came back to. That even though he had gained and lost fame and fortune... what really mattered to him was his family.

We all have a different definition of what a family is. I don't know any two people who have the identical definition.  But it was pretty much what he tried to focus on when he was on the planet.  People can argue how that played out - but if you understand the journey and path of souls - we come here to play a particular role, we come here to learn lessons in compassion and love, and we also come to teach those same lessons.  And once we're off stage, we return "home" to who we've always really been.  Someone in a place of unconditional love. Someone who is connected to their soul family.

Which was his pot of gold.

So adieu my friend, I'll catch you on the Flipside - and don't forget to save some of that rainbow for me over there.

Visions of the Flipside

Bosch


Heres a "Tunnel of white light" as heard in a high percentage of NDEs. I've heard variations, ball of light, moving through light, towards and into light. Feelings of unconditional love, infinite wisdom and reconnecting with loved ones. 

Dr Bruce Greyson UVA created the NDE scale, appears in "Its a Wonderful Afterlife." Mario Beauregard Phd, using fmri has proven these events, memories aren't confined to any particular place in the brain, or "god spot." 

He's in the book as well. Science shows these religious experiences arent religious at all, although they do inspire people to realize life isnt confined to this realm. In my research i find no two nde's are identical, yet they all point to the same conclusion. Like the word "home" - no one can define it outside their own experience, yet we can all agree it exists within our own journey. Not based on belief or philosophy but the data. 

Bosch's depiction of hell, on the other hand, is not in the data. 

Great to see in his paintings, but the few accounts I've examined, dissolve under analysis. "So why are you experiencing this?" Or "why did you choose to be here?" allows a person to see choice or free will is involved. This tunnel, on the other hand, is the way "home" according to the 25 I've filmed and thousands of cases I've examined. 

MEANWHILE FROM THE DAILY MAIL ON FEB 25TH, 2016:


The following is a news story about a woman who died for an hour, saw her husband during an NDE and came back. I'm posting it as "further data" - and by data I mean:

I'm referring to the thousands of cases Dr Greyson has examined at UVA, the data from the Aware project (2000 cases over 10 years) even your own brothers experience during an NDE. at some point thousands of cases, examined by scientists becomes "data." And this case is no different than those. Sorry. Its just science. But you'd know that if you read Dr Greyson's chapter in "its a wonderful afterlife." Not belief. Or philosophy. Or a story in the paper. Based on thousands of medical cases.

This story is just like all the other stories. Identical. Dr. Greyson is the person who created the NDE scale back in the 80's. Indeed, the medical establishment considers NDE research science and his articles have been peer reviewed and published. He's considered the "godfather of NDE research." 

His book "Irreducible Mind" is a textbook for many psychiatrists (as he is the head psychiatrist at UVA.) Interviewed him for the book (It's a Wonderful Afterlife). There are other scientists who have studied NDE - the Aware project, where a doctor studied NDEs under clinical conditions (hospitals, ORs, etc). 

As Harvard's Gary Schwartz PhD mentions in the foreword to Flipside - "at some point you have to stop pretending" that these cases are not data. Each and every case has been examined thoroughly that Greyson cites - I recommend his youtube talk "Is consciousness produced by the brain" for further cites.

Just because a person in the UK has the identical experience that other NDE people have - that my own brother had after dying in Fort Benning Georgia - which is also reported in the book - these cases all saying relatively the same thing. And that's how Dr. Greyson was able to make a scale of events for near death experiences. 

I've stayed at Greyson's home, and he's given me a tour of his facilities at UVA. I had a conference meeting with his associates at the Dept of Perceptual Studies - including Drs Jim Tucker, Ed Kelley (PhD from Harvard) when you have thousands of people saying the same things about their experience - the same way people collect data on headaches or acne, at some point subjective reports become "evidence" and "data." 

(I refer also to Mario Beauregard's "Brain Wars" for further cites and medical cases) 

I've documented these cases on film for the past 8 years. so I'm not offering that it's data lightly - but at some point, one has to step back from the insistence that its not data to ask - "why wouldn't we consider it data? At what point or degree would you consider it data, if scientists have gone on record saying that it is data?" 

Some folks will never see these reports as anytime but conjecture (for whatever reason). That's their path. But it's not mine. I've examined thousands of these cases, documented 25 on film and dozens in print - so to me - at the end of the day, since they all say relatively the same thing "I knew it was my wife/son/daughter/best friend because I know what their touch feels like, they answered questions before I could ask them" etc... these reports become what science requires: that they be consistent and replicable.

While this woman may have invented this incident, she didnt invent dying for an hour. The report she gives of seeing her husband is consistent with many NDEs. And as I've done, taking people who've had an NDE and filming them under hypnosis allows them to replicate the event. And as noted in "Its a Wonderful Afterlife" what they report is the same event yet with more clarity. They could dispute the memory of the event, but they do not. 

Doesnt matter what religion they are, what gender or background. They consistently say the same things.

HERE'S THE ARTICLE AS REPORTED FROM THE UK:

'Sonia, it's not your time... just go back to the kids': Bingo worker who 'died' for 56 minutes says she was saved by the spirit of her late husband who told her not to die

  • Sonia Burton, 50, suffered a heart attack and had no pulse for 56 minutes
  • Paramedics refused to give up on her and continued to carry out CPR
  • Mum-of-four said her late husband visited her and said 'it's not your time'
  • Sonia thanked medics who saved her when they were reunited on Tuesday
A bingo worker who had no pulse for almost an hour after suffering a massive heart attack says her late husband visited her and said 'it's not your time'.
Sonia Burton was 'dead' for 56 minutes following her heart attack at the bingo hall in Ashington, Northumberland, but paramedics refused to give up on her.
The mum-of-four said: 'The only thing I remember is my late husband coming to me and saying "it's not your time, Sonia, go back to the children". Then I woke up in hospital.'

'Every day I think how incredible it is that I'm still here,' she said. 'I don't take anything for granted.'
On the day of her heart attack, Sonia had gone about her daily tasks with daughter Rebecca, 30.
She had been due to start work at Gala Bingo Hall in Ashington at 5.30pm but went in early at 4.45pm to talk to colleagues and have a coffee.
The 50-year-old said: 'I mainly work in the dining area and had been heading out of there when I remember getting a pain in my chest and then collapsing.'
Out cold, Sonia's frantic boss Karen Arkle began trying to resuscitate her as an ambulance was called. 
Within four minutes, paramedic Jason Riches and emergency care assistant Gary French were on the scene, taking over CPR from Karen.

They were then backed up by paramedic Stephen Eke and first year student paramedic Rosie Priest.
For the next 56 minutes the team worked to save Sonia as she was transported to Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington.
It was while they were trying to save her that Sonia said she got a message from late husband John, who died in 2004 following a heart attack aged just 37.
'I spoke to him and he told me that it was not my time and I should go back,' she said. 'To be honest, it felt very comforting.'
By the time they arrived at Cramlington hospital, Sonia was still unconscious but had started breathing. 
She was then transferred to Newcastle's Freeman Hospital, where she underwent lifesaving surgery to have a stent fitted in her heart.
Eight days later she was back home, being cared for by brother, Mark, and her four children, Michael, 31, Megan, 22, Rebecca and 19 year old Thomas.
'It's strange to think I was technically dead for an hour,' added Sonia. 'If it wasn't for the guys being there so quickly and not giving up on me, it would have been a very different story. 
'My mind is a bit forgetful and I'm on a lot of medication but otherwise I'm doing really well - and, at the end of the day, I'm still here.'

Sonia's brother Mark, who she lives with, had been walking the dog when he received the call to say his sister had collapsed.
He said: 'They were working on her when I got there. It was frantic, there was no life in her at all.
'I said 'please don't stop' and, they never did.
'I couldn't be more thankful for everything Stephen, Jason and Gary did for Sonia that day. To see Sonia like she was that day and to see her now is phenomenal, I can't express just what a good job they've done.'
Paramedic Stephen, 43, said: 'Jason and I have over 50 years' experience between us and neither of us have ever seen somebody come back after that length of time.
'We often get a return of a pulse, maybe one out of 10, but usually it's just the adrenaline that's making the heart work again and as soon as that wears off they go back into cardiac arrest.
'It's unbelievable to see how well Sonia's doing now.'
Paramedic Jason, 44, said: 'You go into this job to help people. It's a nice feeling knowing that we were able to make a difference and even better to see what a remarkable recovery she's made.'
