#8 with a bullet. Thanks George Noory for inviting me on to chat about the flipside. Always fun to be on COAST TO COAST in the wee hours of the morning!
This just in from a therapist, who used the simple guided meditation at the heart of this book; from The Beatles "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds:" "Picture yourself in a boat on a river."
It's easy to do and once one has pictured the boat and the river, invite one's guide, teacher, guru on the flipside to stop by for a chat and see if they'll allow you to visit your very own divine council. (Not everyone says "yes, sure!" - but most do.) In that adventure of spirit, one can learn the reasons why they're on their journey and who has been watching over them for all their journeys.
Just got this note from a psychotherapist-counselor working with a hospital:
"Just took one of my clients through "a boat on a river" exercise to visit their council. It went really well - my client very moved and found it helpful!" and "Just took one of my clients through "a boat on a river" exercise to visit their council. It went really well - my client very moved and found it helpful!" and "Very profound experience. I will keep looking for opportunities to utilize this approach to helping my clients struggling with their mental health. Thanks for all your work and inspiration!"
Upcoming appearance on COAST TO COAST with George Noory - Midnight to 2 a.m. TUESDAY THE 29TH OF NOVEMBER on the West Coast. Always fun to talk to George - we’ll be talking about
Basically how the book came about, the people that participated in the experiment to see if people who’d never heard of the research might be able to visit their councils, meet their guides, etc - over zoom. No hypnosis required.
There’s always a call in segment, so if you have questions or want to say hello, set those alarm clocks!

The Art of Dying to Live: An Exploration of Life, Death, and the Afterlife
February 23 - 27, 2022
It is our pleasure to invite you to join us in our online conference and practice retreat, The Art of Dying to Live.
This is THUS | Menla’s new incarnation of a powerfully transformative event Tibet House US launched with the New York Open Center 20 years ago, which introduced thousands to the cheerful exploration of the realities of death and dying as the doorway to living ever more vibrantly in the precious moments of life. Over these five days, experienced practitioners will present visions and lead practices drawn from spiritual wisdom, scientific insight, and time-tested experiential methods of dealing with death and dying that immeasurably enrich the lives of those facing death, as well as those facing bereavement.
Join us to explore ancient and modern understandings and engagements with the arts of dying and living through the lenses of different traditions, including Tibetan and Zen Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Judaic, and Shamanic traditions. Study the nature of death as part of life, and compare all visions of possible afterlife experiences from existential to theistic to shamanic.
Teachings and practices will be weaved throughout the conference to help us contemplate our own life and death more fully. Experts from the field of care giving and bereavement will bring support to those who are caring for those at the end of life or grieving for a loved one.
In this interactive online conference, you will hear from leading keynote speakers on the subject:
Participants will have the opportunity to dive deeper with live Q&A and interactive breakout sessions on the subjects of: Preparing for the Journey; Visions of the Afterlife; and Grief, Bereavement, and Forgiveness.
All participants are welcome to take this journey with us, into the Art of Dying to Live from February 23 - 27, 2022.
Award winning journalist and filmmaker Rich Martini will discuss his incredible journey searching for evidence of the afterlife via various means including hypnotherapy and past life regressions. He'll reveal the various ways deceased loved ones can be contacted to answer questions or give practical advice. Followed by Open Lines.
We will be discussing the Architecture of the Afterlife. My father was an architect, taught me how to read a blueprint, and since starting this research into the Flipside, have realized how many of these stories about the afterlife are blueprints that we can examine and explore.
In the book "Architecture of the Afterlife" I interview 50 different people from all walks of life about their journey into the afterlife. It may be that they are mediums, and are adept at "speaking to spirit" - it may be that they are average people, sometimes friends of mine, sometimes complete strangers who recall a vivid dream they had as a child.
Based on the previous research from "Flipside" to "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" to "Hacking the Afterlife" - these reports follow the same information that others have given. Whether it's clinical case studies of people under hypnosis (Dr. Helen Wambach's 2750 cases) or the thousands of reports from Michael Newton and the Newton institute (7000 cases when he first published in 1994).
I've filmed 100 cases to date, and the 50 without hypnosis are included in the book "Architecture of the Afterlife." It's available worldwide through Ingram Spark and Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, etc as well as the audible version.
Then there's this new show, available on Amazon Prime through the Gaia channel... or through Gaia.com directly.
I flew into Boulder to meet with George at the height of this pandemic not because I had any desire to, but because I think it's important to share this research with the planet.
If someone has a loved one who has passed from it, the research points to methods of how to "stay in touch with them." I've filmed people accessing loved ones through hypnotherapy, via mediumship and through guided meditation.
The results are the same, the results are consistent and they are reproducible, two hallmarks of science.
So while we gear up for the Holidays, keep your loved ones not only in your hearts and prayers, but also verbally - speak to them directly, speak of them in present tense.
They know they still exist, and are hard pressed to figure out how to communicate with us.
Basically they have to "lower their frequency" in order to slip into our dreams, or to put thoughts in our mind to recall them. It doesn't require a medium to do so - it helps, but as Jennifer Shaffer (JenniferShaffer.com) repeats in our weekly podcast: "anyone can do this."
Our PODCAST is at HACKINGTHEAFTERLIFE on Itunes. (HackingTheAfterlife.com) Each week I ask Jennifer to access someone on the flipside to learn new information about their journey.
Videos of those podcasts are available at "MartiniZone.com" on Youtube.
It doesn't require hypnotherapy to do so, but as Scott De Tamble (lightbetweenlives.com) has shown that pretty much anyone can access their guides, teachers and loved ones no longer on the planet.
Yours truly, with Jennifer Shaffer and Scott De Tamble
And I demonstrate in the book "Architecture of the Afterlife" that just by asking questions - a form of "guided meditation" - one can achieve the same results.
George asked a question about this interview - in it I interview J. Allan Hynek, who was a professor (briefly) at Northwestern, when "Sister Joel" - my science teacher in 7th grade invited him over to my house to talk to me about my science project. The project was "The Psychology and Therapy of Color" about how color as a frequency tends to influence how people perceive reality. It won the State Science Fair that year, I was awarded a scholarship to the University of Illinois, but I knew even then that my interests lie elsewhere. Here's a photograph of me in front of my science project. I did surveys and asked people questions about their experience with color and focused on the scientific research that showed how certain colors affect prison populations (light blue was the most calming) or agitated individuals in hospitals. Basically how color as a frequency affects perception.
Haven't changed a bit.
I don't know why "Sister Joel" knew J. Allan Hynek - Joel is a funny name for a nun, as her order (Polish/Chicago Sisters of St. Casimir) chose patron saints for some reason, and I always thought of her as being from Krypton (Jor-el). (The Sisters of St. Casimir dropped their male appelations in 1967 - she may have become "Sister Ann" after that.) Years later she left the order (our pal Bill Meyer kept in touch with her, but he's on the flipside, so hard for me to track her down. Maybe I should ask him.) But she brought this august professor to my parent's home in Northbrook, and the three of us sat in our living room. Me, this 13 or 14 year old kid (I think the meeting took place in 1968, the project won the State Fair in 1969), this brainiac nun, who somehow knew the preeminent scientist in close encounters research.
J. Allan Hynek from Wikipedia.
I distinctly remember him smoking a pipe with cherry flavored tobacco. It was something professors did and whenever I was called upon to think of someone professorial, he'd pop into mind. Pipe smoking cliche. But he came to mind while researching something for "Architecture of the Afterlife." I thought - wait a second - I think I met this fellow 50 years ago. And so, like I do sometimes, in a session, I brought his name up with Jennifer. She didn't know who he was - and I did some cursory research prior to the interview - but did not remember that he inspired the term "Close Encounters."
On the "Beyond Belief" episode I filmed on Father's Day, I didn't know George was going to ask about J. Allan Hynek - or show a clip from this interview. So that was a fun question. "Did you actually speak to him?" George asked. I recalled the story above on air, meeting him in the late 60's. How it's "easier to connect with people on the flipside if you've met them." (Even if they might barely remember the encounter.) But after the show, I flew back to Santa Monica, enjoying some Father's Day pizza, my wife Sherry insisted we watch "Close Encounters" on Showtime. At first I said - "I've already seen it" - not realizing that this was an entirely new edit. I did not know that J. Allan Hynek was an advisor on the film, nor did I know that he was in the film. We sat and watched "the original" director's cut - which is wildly different than the theatrical release... everything makes sense in this cut, opening with the government having an encounter. Just like the one that was recently released - it made much more sense, the idea that there were news conferences that were cut from the theatrical release gave the story context - all I can say is, "the film made sense" this time watching it. It's hard to believe I hadn't seen this "original cut" or the "director's cut" - because I thought I had seen the film. I had seen a different film that was at times difficult to follow and hard to care about. Not this time. While watching the film, being aware of the research I've done ("Architecture of the Afterlife" includes a number of interviews with folks who claim to have either "had lives off planet" or with council members who have "never incarnated on the planet") gave the story a completely different perspective. Yes - they have been trying to reach out to us, no we aren't capable of opening our awareness to them... yet. And seeing the "ET's" at the end of the film appear this time around for me it's much more like "Oh, yeah, of course, I can't believe this was 1977, and we still haven't figured this out yet. I've talked to a bunch of these entities, and I'm not clear why no one else interviews them in the way I do. "What is it we need to know from you? And is it a cook book?" (Twilight Zone joke). (By the way it was also fun to see my pal Carl Weathers in a clip trying to stop Richard Dreyfus in a brief cameo before he became a stuperstar - but I digress.)
"Where do you think you're going mister?"
As I looked up some details of the film while watching, it, telling my wife about this visit from J. Allan Hynek - (1968 or 69, not 1967 as I say in the "Beyond Belief" clip) and was telling her "I remember, he smoked this pipe; as I talked he puffed on it, like Sherlock Holmes." But since I've directed a number of feature films (4) I also thought - "I'll bet if he worked as advisor Steven put him in the film somewhere" and sure enough, two minutes later, there he was. (I now know that if you search for his name and use the title, this same photo appears on the net but I did not then).
I recognized him instantly - not from any photograph of him, which I had not looked up prior to this viewing, but from my memory of him. I met him when he had brown hair - same beard, shape but thinner - and when he put the pipe in his mouth I jumped out of my chair.
It's one of those details that if you're not paying attention you miss. This fellow loved this pipe, had in 1968 when I interviewed him in my living room, still using it 11 years later when making a film with Steven Spielberg. What are the odds that in the morning, on the Beyond Belief episode, George would ask me that question about J. Allan, and a few hours later, I would see J. Allan Hynek once again in my living room? Astrofreakingnomical. Let's just say that the concept that "there is no such thing as coincidence" is likely the case. Since they exist "outside of time" - they have a better shot at getting the editor at "Beyond Belief" to choose this particular clip for George to comment on (I had no idea), that George Noory is friends with J. Allen's son ("Did I tell you, he's a friend of mine?" "No, George I didn't know that" live on air) and then for me to come home from this sojourn, sit on the couch with my wife on Father's Day and she says "Let's watch "Close Encounters." I said - literally - "I've seen it, but okay, if you think so, let's." And then this new film I thought I'd seen but had not appears before me, completely different context, completely makes sense - honors the work of J. Allan Hynek, tells this story in the way that only Steven can with insight into human behavior, casting people who look real, seem honest, and we root for them. (The child who was kidnapped was a casting coup) and that Richard Dreyfus would replace him as the hero who goes off into the Joseph Campbell adventure. And... look, there's J. Allan Hynek with his pipe. Boom. Freeze the frame. There he is. Again. Of course I would watch that. Of course I would see that same face of a fellow who graced my living room 50 years ago. Of course I would interview him on the flipside about "aliens" if only to report that we are "all aliens" because we all choose to incarnate wherever it is we choose to do so. Of course. He is not gone. He's just not here. NOW YOU KNOW. Just had to share this Father's Day tidbit.
On my way to the taping of Beyond Belief

Just got a note from someone on quora who tried to speak to her loved one on the flipside.
Jennifer and George
Here’s what she got: “I am alive and the death was fake… (as in not real) but in reality I am still all alive." It doesn't get any more powerful than that. “I am alive.” That means - “not dead. Not gone.” I hear it often - “Our loved ones think we’re gone. We aren’t gone. You just don’t acknowledge we still exist.” She heard her loved one say “I am alive and the death was fake” - fake as in, "the body passes away, but the person does not." I don’t know how to put it any clearer than that. Death is fake. As in - not real. We have an illusion that it is real. We believe it is real. We look at a table and don't see the atoms agreeing to hold space. We look at light and don't see the UV rays bees see. We look at a person, and don't see the cancer that dogs can smell. We look at a loved one who is old but see them as when we first met them. We believe we cannot speak or communicate to our loved ones who have crossed over - so we can’t. How could we? If we don’t believe they exist, how could they ever prove us otherwise? As Harry Dean Stanton said in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" "Tell people to believe in the possibility of the afterlife, so then they won't waste another minute of their lives arguing about it like I did." (And that is literally a quote from flipside. Harry spoke to us a week before his memorial, and what he told me to tell his friends at his memorial blew their minds - because only he could have known those details.) Finally, she hears from her loved one - “In reality I am still ALL ALIVE.” Not just “sort of alive” or “part of me exists” - she was specific by adding the word “all” - as in “all alive.” All of me still exists - everything that was my body still exists in spirit form.” To deny what she's hearing from her loved one is to deny the loved one still exists. And the loved one just proved to her that the loved one does exist. We tend to forget that our cells regenerate all the time. That in seven years every cell in our body is new. Every seven years we are a new model - and that includes brain cells too. All of them. Gone and come again. None of them stick around. Every seven years! New all of you! We labor under the illusion that what we knew 7 years ago - the person in the mirror - is the same. Not the same. New.
And people ask me “how can I believe that people still exist?” I don’t believe - I film others talking to them. I edit the footage. I transcribe what I filmed and put it in the books. From their lips to your ears. Believe, don’t believe - but don’t ignore those relatives who want to stay in touch with you. (Or ignore them, that’s a choice.) Just reporting. (And I will be on “Coast to Coast” with George Noory tomorrow night Tues. 6-16-20 10 PM PST discussing the latest research from Jennifer Shaffer in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3" and "Architecture of the Afterlife.")
Someone posted this comment on my page today regarding the idea that John McCain spoke to me and Jennifer Medlyn Shaffer during one of our sessions: "If john mccain was talking to Richard there must be hotline to Hell!" It's a funny comment, but my reply to this comment is funnier (see posted below).
Hey, I can fly! (just kidding) In this talk I mention our interview with John (Maverick) My reply to the comment that "John McCain must be in hell" - "Let's be clear. I didn't vote for the guy - so when I "heard" his voice in my apt. say "I understand you're the guy I need to speak with to pass along a message to my family" I was startled. I may even have been in the shower, so it was extra weird. I first said to myself "Why would I ever heard the voice of John McCain? I'm not a fan - I knew his chief of staff back in the 90's, but never met the fellow." So I replied; "Get in line. If you want to speak with me you know what's required. Get a pass from Luana Anders and Jennifer Shaffer and I will speak with you." I'm not making this up - that's what I said. On my way to my weekly meeting with Jennifer in her office in Manhattan Beach, as I drove along the coast, I said his name aloud "John. McCain." Again - I wasn't looking to chat with him, but prior to this meeting did my usual amount of research into his life and journey. What kind of music he liked, how many times he was married, what his journey might have been like. I know he's a hero - I know he suffered immeasurably by being tortured, I knew he couldn't lift his arm above a certain height. I have respect for the guy even if I did not agree with his overall political journey. So when I got to Jennifer's office and turned on the camera, she said "Maverick is here." At first I thought of the Tom Cruise movie - but then remembered that was his nickname. Jennifer is apolitical as it is - she keeps her opinions in the confines of our sessions, but for her to blurt out "Maverick is here" meant she could not think of his name. I said "Who's that?" She said "That guy. The Senator who died recently. What's his name." It's on camera. She didn't know his name - if she had thought he might show up, she might have thought to look up his name. But she didn't know it. He had stuff he wanted to say - and I asked Luana (on the flipside) why he was allowed to "jump the line" (its our running joke - she holds the "Backstage Pass" list for these sessions. It was Tom Petty who suggested that Luana "holds the clipboard to the vip lounge" and what inspired the title of the books; "Backstage Pass to the Flipside: Talking to the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer.") She said "He earned it." I'm answering your comment in full - knowing that you were kidding, or perhaps not - but the idea of anyone "being in hell" on the flipside is a joke. I've filmed over 50 sessions of deep hypnosis, compared it with thousands of other cases (Dr. Wambach and Michael Newton) and they all say the same thing; "there is no hell. It's a made up thing by humanity to keep people in line." It's not my opinion they say that - not my theory they say that - I film them saying it. So ain't no hell for John to come from. I posted the interview on RichMartini.com - and on Medium.com - anyone can find it. Anyone who reads it can tell by my questions I was not in awe of the fact he'd shown up - in fact I pressed him on many questions. I asked him if he'd encountered any of the soldiers he'd killed in Vietnam. I asked him what seeing them was like. I asked him about his torture, about his experience in the Senate - about anything that popped into my head. And "he" answered the questions with humor, wit and the usual kinds of things he was known for. At some point, I dropped my skeptical tone - appreciating finally for a moment that it's hard for them to come forward like this in this fashion - they know how ridiculed they would be doing so, or that I would be doing so. But I have a reputation on the flipside (funny to say it, but I don't know how else to put it) of being someone who when asked to "pass along a message to a family member" I will do so. Even if the family member is incredulous, angry, or somehow thinks I'm exploiting their loved one's memory. ("You're a grief thief" someone wrote to me - as if it was a bad thing to steal someone's grief. If that's true, I'll wear that badge.) I think what impressed me most was John talking about the "medals" he had won on the flipside. He mentioned a particular medal I've heard of before, one that is "awarded" to people who've done an incredible service to humanity - and it was mentioned in an interview with a medium, Tony Stockwell. Tony had never seen or heard of "medals on the flipside" before - but I had. And he described one of his council members wearing a "star." I asked if it was a pin or a medal, and he said "no, I'm seeing it now - it's an actual star and it is glowing and serves a function to elevate people to other realms." The point isn't about the star - it's about the fact that Tony was being shown this star when I asked him if he saw that his lead council member was "wearing anything that he'd earned from a difficult lifetime."
With JenniferShaffer.com during a typical interview session
Apparently Mr. Maverick has earned three - one for his sacrifice during the Vietnam war (he was offered a ticket out and remained to be tortured so he wouldn't be considered above his fellow men), he earned one by his bout with cancer, demonstrating that he could fight through anything, he earned it for his service to humanity with the many people of his home state that he helped that we'll never know. When I heard that he had "earned the same kind of medal that Tony earned, but three of them" I knew I should pay closer attention to his simple request. And that was to pass along a message to his daughter. So politics aside, if you know anything about the journey we all take - you'll know that it takes a great deal of effort to be able to show up at a stranger's home, "speak loud enough so he can hear you" and then show up at a medium's session a week later, and have specific detailed messages to give. We all vibrate at the frequency that our work takes us - musicians hang out on the flipside, politicians hang out, as do painters, bankers, etc - they all radiate "the same frequency" of the energy of their endeavors. Again - not my opinion, just my observation from the data. So - yes, this is a long reply - and it's because even though I'm not a voting member of Arizona, I respect Maverick's journey - and his desire to communicate with his daughter. George Noory of Coast to Coast fame offered to pass along the unedited transcripts - I have no idea what his daughter thinks of them, but if you hear she's running for office; you'll know who suggested it. (Not me.)
I get it. I'm living in a flipside bubble. When you spend a good part of your day filming sessions where you're talking to people on the flipside, talking to council members on the flipside, then transcribing those sessions - and you can "feel them" over your shoulder as you're typing up their words... well, it's "all flipside all the time."
Seriously smoker. But funny guy. Art Bell from Wiki.
Recently I went on the show with Heather Wade. Heather was the person who contacted me a few years back, because she was working with Art Bell and Art asked her to call me about appearing on his show. He had heard me on Coast to Coast (his old radio show) with George Noory, and suggested I come on to talk about the research into the flipside. But at some point he must have had a change of heart, or other things transpired - and he stepped away from the mic and Heather took over for him. I was on the show "Midnight in the Desert" that Art had begun, but she was doing. Heather had a near death experience years ago - and because she'd had that, I suggested instead of me "talking about the research" we might try an experiment. I would ask her some questions and we'd see where we could go. We went. We went far and fast and furious. (For three hours!) She was able to access her guide (he introduced himself as Mr. Chown and she described him in detail) we went to visit her council and she described them in detail as well. She also described an event that occurred in the future, where she saw herself (they were showing her an image from her Akashic records) of herself down the road, retired and happy. I went on to do other things, Jennifer Shaffer and I worked together - I wrote two books with her assistance, talking to the Flipside. I went on Coast to Coast so often talking about the flipside, George Noory dubbed me "the Afterlife Expert." The last show I did someone called in and said "Could you talk to Art Bell? He's dead now."
I knew that Art had died. I was familiar with his show decades ago, and when he called to invite me on his show I thought that would be "full circle." But it didn't happen. However, I'm not the person who "talks to people in the afterlife." I talk to people who can talk to people in the afterlife either via deep hypnosis or through a medium. I'm not doing the seeing, hearing or talking - just asking questions to a third person. Got it? Not me. Them. But this guy was adamant on the call. "But why don't you talk to Art Bell?" I said "I didn't know Art, and frankly someone who knew him should talk to him because then they'd know if the answers were accurate." I further suggested that based on my research, "Anyone can talk to Art Bell by taking out his photograph, asking him questions and listening for answers. "When you hear an answer before you can form the question you'll know it's him." This guy then wrote to me at another email and said "I'm reporting you to Coast to Coast as a fake. You said you'd channel Art Bell and then you said you wouldn't." I tried to be reasonable about that oddball threat - or annoying email - but just let it go. I didn't know Art. Wouldn't know what to ask him. "How's the flipside?" "Fine." It wouldn't be up to his standards of radioshowmanship. But eventually we did talk to Art Bell on the Flipside; via someone who knew him well. I was transcribing Heather's session for my next book. And I was amazed at how far we went on the air - I've posted it here before. She saw and heard and described things in wonderful detail. I must add that she wasn't describing anything I hadn't heard before in terms of the flipside - but she could see it all very clearly. Live on the air.
Here's that clip. So I sent her the transcript, and discovered she hadn't been on the air in awhile, and was just returning. I have no idea of any drama that went behind the scenes, but I'm under the impression his death hit her hard - as it did his family, friends and fans. She set up a time and gave us three hours to go on our adventure. And oh my, it was quite the adventure. It was fun for me, because I was already familiar with who her guide and council were - I wasn't sure if she would remember - but she did, with great clarity. Like we'd never left. We covered a lot of ground. She revealed she'd had an accident that broke her foot, then Art "showed up" and talked to her about his perspective on the flipside. Told her new information - things she'd never heard before about what he was seeing and doing.
And the people he was hanging out with. How we was having conversations with people's "higher consciousness" which they would not be aware (perhaps vaguely) and could continue where he left off. He talked about accessing memories - and then revisiting them in real time. Talked about visiting his pal Whitley Streiber, etc.
A packet of time with George Noory
Which is in the research. Stephen Hawking told us the same thing - (in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside") time packets of events are like CD's of that event. You can revisit all the information from that event, and then examine it from a different perspective, plus talk to a person's higher consciousness directly. Which is basically what I'm doing in my interviews with the flipside. Accessing an event (a dream, a near death experience, hypnosis session etc) and then treating it like a hologram - a time packet - and revisiting it, but bringing in new characters and information (guides, teachers,councils, etc.) Art was describing exactly what I've been doing. Heather talked openly about her depression after he crossed over, including a point where she felt so low she wanted to check herself off the planet. So I wasn't surprised when her guides said "We stopped you from ending your journey prematurely. And we want to remind you that it's important you not do so. You still have people to help on the planet." I had no idea those events occurred to her and learned them on the air from her council. I will add here that there are some rabid Art Bell fans - who just are upset that he died, upset that Heather talks about him, upset she's a woman, not really sure what they're so upset about. But for some reason there were odd sounds bleeding through her studio - she couldn't hear them, but some in her audience claimed to hear them. Heather mentioned it on air.
I can barely tear Jennifer away from her law enforcement
gigs. Plus she's booked a long time in advance. But hilarious
to think she'd ever "feed" someone answers.
One of those wackier fans came up with the theory that the medium Jennifer Shaffer was "feeding her the answers from Art." If we can think about this one for half a second. This theory is not saying that we're making this stuff up - that Heather was pretending to be "speaking to Art Bell on the flipside" - but that somehow, a medium (who works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases) who is booked months in advance, took the time out to spend three hours to feed answers to a radio host she doesn't know, never met - based on my personal loopy questions. Argh. People can be really bizarre with the mental pretzels they work up around this stuff. The other vitriol came from people who were furious that Art's family would be upset. Art wasn't addressing them directly - wasn't reassuring them he was okay, wasn't apologizing to them for dying - he was answering my questions in rapid fire fashion, asked me questions that threw me for a loop and generally acted like the Art Bell he always acted like. (If they contacted someone like Jennifer to assist them to talk with him - he'd say exactly what they needed to hear. Those messages should be private.) And the idea that this was disrespectful to his grieving family - hold on a second.... what grieving family wouldn't want to know that their loved one still existed?
Think that over for a minute. Sure, they can believe that I'm making up these questions, and that Heather (or a medium or a "wacky voice on the phone") is making up the answers - but if you actually listen to what Art was saying "I like to walk around alot, there are landscapes over here and I walk alot, I can move at the speed of thought, the vistas are amazing, the forests are filled with color and I can create a sound studio using my memories of how its put together and I'm having a blast...." No one could make those up... but me. Because he was saying THE EXACT SAME THINGS other people I've interviewed have said on the flipside. It's not just Art Bell creating a radio sound stage - it's Robert Towne's father Lou Towne creating a racetrack where he gets to watch Seabiscuit run (!), it's Garry Shandling saying he creates golf courses that would defy imagination, when asked if he "plays 36 holes or 18?" he said "Two. The tees are very far apart."
Or Jonathan Krane, my old friend and film producer who said he was "on a yacht and sailing." There are no yachts on the flipside. We have to create them - like CGI. And yes, it takes time and effort and focus and concentration - but all of them said the same exact things about how to do that. "Math."
Garry Shandling's thought
Bill Paxtontold us he was creating white sandy beaches, where he loved to walk and "think." Paul Allen told us he was playing a ukelele because it was the "easiest instrument to craft" - Harry Dean Stanton described an elaborate trip to the Monterey Pop Festival from 1967 that greeted him on the other side, and it wasn't until they got a flat tire that he realized his old friend Luana had created the entire event to give him a "soft landing." All created images, from memories. Sorry. It's just data.
I have little tolerance for intolerance. To those Art Bell fans upset that Heather would deign to speak to her old friend - hey, move along, these aren't the droids you're looking for.
Travelers. With Jennifer Shaffer and hypnotherapist Scott De Tamble.
Either or both can walk you into the Flipside. I've filmed both
of them doing so for a long time now.
But if you want to know how that could be - why that could be - what that means for our own journey on the planet, open a book, take the time to read scientists at UVA talking about reincarnation, scientists at IANDS.org talking about near death events that prove consciousness isn't created only by the brain, read up on PSI studies down by Ed or Emily Kelly, examine the science that shows our consciousness lives on. Or even watch the three hour clip above. That was a preamble to the show, which I'll post at a later date. Then bring it back home and do your own research - try to talk to your dead grandmother. She won't mind. You're not grieving for her anymore, and she's aware of that too. You haven't said her name or mentioned her in years - went right back to the chat room after her funeral, left Granny's memory along with all the other discarded photos in a box in the basement.
The one and only Irene Ryan. America's granny.
But she still exists. She knows she exists. And she's been waiting for you to reach out to her. Not through me. I'm not a medium. Not even a medium needed. Take out her photo - if you still have one, or haven't deleted them yet - and say her name aloud. Ask her questions you don't know the answer to. Wait until you hear an answer. When you hear the answer before you can start the question you'll know you're connected. Don't blame Heather Wade for talking to her old friend. To those fans out there, he's an abstract esoteric chain smoking fellow who hung out in bunker in the desert talking about things that went bump in the night. But now he's the thing that goes BUMP IN THE NIGHT and he wants you to know it. Nothing to fear here. Except the liberation of your spirit - your loved ones still love you, Art still loves his fans, try to show him some love back, see what he actually has to say. SO IN THAT VEIN: Here's the THREE HOUR INTERVIEW DONE WITH ART BELL. I've included the same footage from the previous video - because I own it, and it's something interesting to look at while listening to the audio. Again - nothing written, scripted or rehearsed here. A LIVE ON AIR demonstration that people don't need to be under hypnosis to talk to loved ones, to recall previous lifetimes, or to speak with their council. All courtesy of the maestro himself, the one and only Art Bell.
