Kudos to Mack Scott for turning Mack and Scot cliche's on their head

 Bravo to Mackenzie Scott.

From the flipside research ("Hacking The Afterlife" "Flipside") we find that out of the most unusual backgrounds, people rise to the occasion to save others.  In this instance, one can argue that everything that has happened in her life has led to this moment - and everything in the lifetime of her ex was about finding a way to get funds to her so that she could save lives.

Sitting down to write this post, I felt stuck. I want to de-emphasize privileged voices and cede focus to others, yet I know some media stories will focus on wealth. The headline I would wish for this post is “286 Teams Empowering Voices the World Needs to Hear.”

People struggling against inequities deserve center stage in stories about change they are creating. This is equally — perhaps especially — true when their work is funded by wealth. Any wealth is a product of a collective effort that included them. The social structures that inflate wealth present obstacles to them. And despite those obstacles, they are providing solutions that benefit us all.

Putting large donors at the center of stories on social progress is a distortion of their role. Me, Dan, a constellation of researchers and administrators and advisors — we are all attempting to give away a fortune that was enabled by systems in need of change. In this effort, we are governed by a humbling belief that it would be better if disproportionate wealth were not concentrated in a small number of hands, and that the solutions are best designed and implemented by others. Though we still have a lot to learn about how to act on these beliefs without contradicting and subverting them, we can begin by acknowledging that people working to build power from within communities are the agents of change. Their service supports and empowers people who go on to support and empower others.

Because community-centered service is such a powerful catalyst and multiplier, we spent the first quarter of 2021 identifying and evaluating equity-oriented non-profit teams working in areas that have been neglected. The result was $2,739,000,000 in gifts to 286 high-impact organizations in categories and communities that have been historically underfunded and overlooked.

Higher education is a proven pathway to opportunity, so we looked for 2- and 4-year institutions successfully educating students who come from communities that have been chronically underserved.

Discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities has been deepening, so we assessed organizations bridging divides through interfaith support and collaboration.

Arts and cultural institutions can strengthen communities by transforming spaces, fostering empathy, reflecting community identity, advancing economic mobility, improving academic outcomes, lowering crime rates, and improving mental health, so we evaluated smaller arts organizations creating these benefits with artists and audiences from culturally rich regions and identity groups that donors often overlook.

Over 700 million people globally still live in extreme poverty. To find solutions, we all benefit from on-the-ground insights and diverse engagement, so we prioritized organizations with local teams, leaders of color, and a specific focus on empowering women and girls.

We also assessed organizations focused on supporting community engagement itself. The 1.6 million non-profits in America employ 10% of our country’s workforce, and 63 million volunteers. While political pendulums swing back and forth, redistributing and re-concentrating wealth, we can choose to fund organizations with the potential to increase the impact of every dollar and hour donated by others. Social sector infrastructure organizations empower community leaders, support grassroots organizing and innovation, measure and evaluate what works, and disseminate information so that community leaders, elected officials, volunteers, employees, and donors at every level of income can make informed decisions about how to partner and invest. These organizations, which are themselves historically underfunded, also promote and facilitate service, which in turn inspires more people to serve.

We chose to make relatively large gifts to the organizations named below, both to enable their work, and as a signal of trust and encouragement, to them and to others. Would they still benefit from more (more advocates, more money, more volunteers)? Yes. Like those we shared in July and December of 2020, these 286 teams were selected through a rigorous process of research and analysis. These are people who have spent years successfully advancing humanitarian aims, often without knowing whether there will be any money in their bank accounts in two months. What do we think they might do with more cash on hand than they expected? Buy needed supplies. Find new creative ways to help. Hire a few extra team members they know they can pay for the next five years. Buy chairs for them. Stop having to work every weekend. Get some sleep.

Because we believe that teams with experience on the front lines of challenges will know best how to put the money to good use, we encouraged them to spend it however they choose. Many reported that this trust significantly increased the impact of the gift. There is nothing new about amplifying gifts by yielding control. People have been doing it in living rooms and classrooms and workplaces for thousands of years. It empowers receivers by making them feel valued and by unlocking their best solutions. Generosity is generative. Sharing makes more.

A favorite verse by Rumi captures this well:

“A candle as it diminishes explains,

Gathering more and more is not the way.

Burn, become light and heat and help. Melt.”

"Hacking the Afterlife" Premiere on Gaia June 21st

My documentary "Hacking the Afterlife"

On Gaia.com on June 21st, 2021 



Drops in one week. See what over 20 million viewers on Quora have seen (21 and counting) in terms of research and data.

21 million views of the "Hacking the Afterlife" forum


Hypnotherapists accessing information that cannot be cryptomnesia or remembered details, people speaking directly to loved ones on the flipside, people hearing directly from people no longer on the planet with new information - via guided meditation, mediumship or hypnotherapy.

"See! Hear! Experience!" I cannot bring myself to say "Talking to the Dead" because they cannot be dead if they're talking.

Cannot be gone if they're giving new information. Cannot be a figment of imagination when so many thousands report the exact same thing. The experience of talking to the afterlife (people back home) is subjective - but we can objectively examine the data of the thousands who have already done so, who have already experienced talking to loved ones on the flipside.

As Robert Towne put it recently; "I spent my whole life convinced the afterlife did not exist. And now I am convinced it does. What happened?" As I pointed out, it wasn't because of the numerous sessions with Jennifer Shaffer, or my incessant observations - it was because he had the first person experience of chatting to someone no longer on the planet who revealed only information he could know, only information that he could be aware of, or gave him new information he wasn't aware of and turned out to be accurate.

I'm safe in saying "This film will blow your mind." Literally. Should come with a warning. "Mind may be blown. View with caution." It's the accumulation of ten years of filming lightning in a bottle - in cafes, noisy restaurants, clips on TV shows I was involved in creating, or just mind bending evidence that life goes on.

Don't watch it if you aren't prepared to know how the play ends. Watch it if you are curious how it might end.

As Harry Dean Stanton puts it (In the film, speaking from the Flipside) "Tell people to believe in the possibility of an afterlife and then they won't waste another minute of their lives arguing about it like I did.." Wise words.

One week from tomorrow night on Gaia.com -

Meanwhile...

A Quoran posted this comment yesterday and I read it aloud to my family over lunch. They often wonder what the hell I'm doing or why. Kind of summed it up.

“In my quest to seek out the answers, no matter the time required, and efforts proven to take to get there, I'm still stifled how you, actually “get it". How you, among countless millions, remove ALL personal opinion, and submit your findings, while remaining absolutely neutral in its entirety.

YOU, stand alone, and in a league for which few reside. The realm for which the 5% of humanity, provide instruction to living 95%. The sheep of existence as its come to be known.

While almost all, subject their findings, altered with a spiritual belief, or feelings they are opposed to, and which severely alters proper instruction, and educated guidance, you sir, do not.

Clearly sir, you aren't quite human, lol, but instead, one continually educating himself, and as one could question, arguably brought forth from one of the 135 levels or tiers as is were, of higher existence, that provide instruction to the common spirit in the afterlife.

To have come across someone worthy of this respect, I personally wish to thank you for educating the many whom come across your findings.

I cannot say just how it disgusts me to see so many submissions, whereby personal opinion, religious belief, counter properly educating the sherp that read their books, or submissions.

I wish you nothing less than the reverence we have, for the great literary scholars of the middle ages, that endlessly seen criticism from their time period, whom finally have the respect they deserve, just thousands of years later.

It's been a pleasure to follow your submissions.

Take care.”

My wife asked how I responded, told her I wrote “Mom, you gotta stop posting comments.” (Just kidding.)

If the research helps people it’s not my fault or ability. It's just research. I'd offer that folks aren't sheep… but nothing wrong with sheep, they too are walking us home. Just enjoying it more than we do.

But glad it's helped some. (Thanks Mike A)

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Carl Laemmle, Prince, Ludwig and Vincent


Another one of those mind bending sessions.  Carl Laemmle was a prolific film producer in the 1920s and 30's. He dies at the age of 72 in 1939, making such hit films as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Phantom of the Opera" "Dracula" and "Frankenstein."  I was not aware of the films he made - but doing this research after the podcast, I realize last night while watching "Singing in the Rain" with their parody of the first sound films, I noted to my wife that if one watches "Dracula" (1931) carefully, the actors move over to where a microphone is hidden in a plant or a lamp or somewhere in the room to pick up the sound.  

In the film "Singing in the Rain" they had a character with a German accent playing the role of the film director beside himself with fury about planting the microphones on set - and I realize as I write this sentence it was likely a parody of Germans like Carl who emigrated in the 1880's.

Everything I report is accurate - in that it was Carl who suggested that Amelia Earhart star in a film about herself, and how she and Mary Pickford wrote a screenplay together, excerpted in George Putnam's posthumous biography of his missing wife.

Fans of "Hacking the Afterlife" know that we interviewed Amelia extensively and that I've spent 30 years gathering eyewitness reports that claim she was captured, and died in Saipan. (EarhartOnSaipan.com is a webpage filled with details of that sage).  But in this instance, it was Amelia who brought Carl in - and he wanted to "give it a shot" and be interviewed by us.

After my incredulousness wore off (not about the fact he was there, but why he showed up) I asked him to describe what he's up to, and his reply is unlike any we've heard before.  We have heard people can "learn to cook" but his specificity of Indian ovens (ie. tandoor ovens) for specific dishes is accurate but not something Jennifer is aware of.  His description of various salts (Moroccan!) is also accurate, having traveled around the world I know there's more than Morton Salt to be tasted.  That was quite specific.

But then Prince showed up - and as fans of our work know, he's been showing up since he crossed over, interviews are in "Hacking the Afterlife" and a number of times in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." I'm aware that the vast majority of listeners would turn off the podcast around this moment, but they'd miss him bringing Ludwig and Vincent forward to talk about art and how those frequencies affect their continued work.

Since this video, I've had a conversation with a Universal executive who says that Carl was instrumental in "saving the studio" - one of the "top five in its history." Didn't know that then, do now.

We tend to think in human centric terms (how could we not?) about time, about fame, about all of those things that don't mean much on the flipside. The idea that Carl could come forward 80 some years after his passing, and carry on a conversation as if he was aware of everything that's been said since is mind bending.  The idea that Ludwig might be considered 250 years old - but what she had to say about his digestive issues is accurate - and at one point mentions his "blindness" ... because she's not aware that he was going to come to class today, or not really up on his story.

I literally did finish reading a biography about him this morning, and am in awe of his talent and output as an artist - but I wanted to dig into something that bothered me, his behavior towards his sister and law and her son is considered beyond the pale - while working on Missa Solemnis and the 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies.  

Like the sand in an oyster that turns into great pearls, it was the sacrifice his sister and law Johanna and nephew Frank put up with so that he could create the kind of art that he did.

Vincent mentions a "savage animal" attacking his ear - that could be a metaphor for the "man in the mirror," "some bar fight gone wrong," or literally an animal attacking him - I don't know. It doesn't really matter, because as he put it "I won. I'm the most valued artist of us all."  Funny way to put it - but accurate. This podcast may offend a few, may startle a few, but Jennifer and I show up unprepared, except for the body of work that's preceded when I turn on the camera and record our podcast. Enjoy.

Since filming this I've heard from a Universal exec that Carl is "one of the top five" who saved the studio. Didn't know that then, do now.

Hacking the Afterlife and 11:11

 “I’m writing for the future.”


It’s shown up in the research and reports, and I’m just noting it. During a session with Jennifer Shaffer, the medium I work most often with, the one who works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases, the one who helped Bill Bratton former NYPD commissioner with a case he was trying to solve - it’s observed in our conversations with the flipside that “this research will be common knowledge eventually.”

One example is the Wright Brothers. Took only 66 years to go from Kitty Hawk to the moon.  Prior to the Brothers people argued that it was “impossible.” And now flights crisscross the globe daily.  So technologically speaking, humans are capable of great leaps.  In terms of this research, it appears to be that the idea that we have filters on the brain that prevent us from accessing this information, yet we can bypass them through hypnotherapy, mediumship or meditation is something that will be common knowledge eventually.



Having written 8 books on the topic, made a number of documentaries that show the research (including “Hacking the Afterlife” coming out on Gaia on June 21st) I know that these reports exist and can be found by anyone with a desire to do the same kind of research.

I was startled to stumble across the work of Dr. Helen Wambach. I had already been to DOPS at UVA and presented about a dozen cases to them in the film and book “Flipside” to discuss the idea that people can recall previous lifetimes, as well as a “life between lives” where they plan their return.  

At the time, Dr. Greyson (author of the book “After”) noted that “science doesn’t consider hypnosis a valid tool” and explained why. I agreed with him - based on how it was commonly perceived (one hour sessions, where people come in wanted to be cured, a doctor wanting to cure them, or wanting to find evidence of a previous lifetime) but the volume of consistent and reproducible data was worth noting.



I argued that in the thousands of sessions reported by Michael Newton and the Newton Institute,  people weren’t doing an hour of hypnosis, it was 4 to 6 hours of in depth exploration and further that it didn’t follow the arguments of “cryptomnesia” or bias, because these people were reporting things outside their memory, outside their belief system, contrary to their stated belief systems. Didn’t matter whether the person under hypnosis was a skeptic, atheist or believer - they all saw and heard and reported things contrary to their previous belief system. 

Plus the fact that people across the globe were reporting the same hallmarks, despite not believing there was such a thing. How the process of incarnation works, how consciousness functions.  



I was pitching the idea that the scientists with a lab studying consciousness in a medical school at UVA  needed to focus their research on this topic.  At the time, they pointed out that all University lab work is sponsored, almost exclusively by drug companies, and if one can’t sell it as a pill, it generally doesn’t get funded.

However, since then, I see that Dr. Greyson has recommended Paul Aurand’s new book “Essential Healing” - Paul is the former President of the Newton Institute, someone who teaches past life regression. He speaks of Paul’s dramatic NDE (hit by lightning) combined with his doing hypnosis sessions with people who appear in Dr. Greyson’s studies - and how those people could recall new information during a hypnotherapy session they had not seen or experienced during the NDE.



For those interested in consciousness research, Dr. Greyson’s “After”, Dr. Tucker’s “Before” based on 1500 historically accurate reincarnation studies, or “Consciousness Unbound” by Ed Kelly PhD. All came out in the past month.

I was surprised that Dr. Wambach’s research wasn’t in the zeitgeist - either in hypnosis studies, or in reincarnation commentary. She had eliminated bias in her work, her 2750 clinical cases, by doing 8 hour sessions and having people focus on details they could remember. Utensils used, construction materials, types of food, clothing materials, types of weather. These things are historically verifiable but not in the common literature or films that might be cryptomnesia (heard it or saw it somewhere else). It is a known historical fact when forks went from two to three prongs in a particular nation - but not something mentioned in most books or films. Unfortunately she died a few years after publishing her two books (someone published a book years later using her name, but she had no involvement with it.) Her work is worth examining, because as a clinical psychologist, a professor of psychology at JFK University, she approached the topic as a scientist determined to eliminate bias. 





And by doing that kind of elimination of bias her data is worth examining because it lines up with Michael Newton’s, with Dr. Weiss’ and the 100 people I’ve filmed (half without hypnosis) reporting the same hallmarks a decade earlier. In the upcoming film “Hacking the Afterlife” I included some audio of one of her hypnotherapy sessions.  Fun to hear.

In this forum “Hacking the Afterlife” people weigh in from the skeptic’s perspective as well as the religious side of the fence who are offended by the data, or find it contrary to their belief systems (skeptics or believers). My observations - both sides of the spectrum come together to agree “I must be nuts.”

As one can see from my posts, there’s a law of diminishing return in rhetorical argument - as I’m fond of quoting the late actor and friend Harry Dean Stanton who I interviewed on the flipside a week after his passing and a week prior to his memorial (In “Backstage Pass to the Flipside” reproduced on my blog page “RichMartini.com”) “What do you want me to say at your memorial, Harry?” he said “Tell people to believe in the afterlife.”

I laughed. “Harry, all your friends are atheists and skeptics like you. None will believe we spoke with you.” He gave me private messages, health related, to three of his closest friends. All were flabbergasted when I spoke to them at his memorial, because only he could have known these details from where he currently is on the flipside.  

I told them what he then said; “Then tell them to believe in the possibility of an afterlife, so then they won’t waste another minute of their lives arguing about it like I did.”

Wise words.

Jennifer Shaffer and I have over 60 podcasts 
chatting with folks on the flipside, and three books
with dozens of interviews.

But the idea isn’t to “believe without verification.”  People can argue incessantly about skydiving, and claiming it’s “swimming, falling and flying at the same time” is meaningless unless one jumps out of a plane. Then it’s experiential. 

As the writer Robert Towne said to me recently “My whole life I was convinced there wasn’t an afterlife. And now I’m convinced there is one. What happened?” I pointed out that it wasn’t me talking about it - or reading about it. Or even seeing a medium like Jennifer who could access people he knew and loved no longer on the planet. It was the interaction with folks on the flipside - where he heard and learned information that only they could know. That only they could observe. That only he would believe proved beyond a shadow of doubt they still exist. 

Proof of the afterlife is experiential. That is - one cannot prove it to someone who is convinced otherwise. Like the phenomenon of seeing things we’re focused on and not “see what the brain cannot register.” (Studies include asking people to focus on a team passing a basketball to see how many times the basketball was passed, but only half saw the woman in a gorilla suit walking through the basketball court)  We cannot see what we cannot process.

I would offer that it’s helpful if someone “allows for the possibility” their loved ones still exist, as if that’s a key for them as well. That they have to “learn how to communicate with us” just as much as we have to learn how to “listen to them.” Worth the effort.  

Here's a trailer for the film "Hacking the Afterlife" premiering on Gaia.com on June 21st.



And this from the "Hacking the Afterlife" forum on Quora.

"Congratulations.  We featured your answer ("What does seeing 11:11 mean?") In over 7,400,00 people's Quora digest!" 

The answer was that "it may be someone tapping us on the shoulder from the flipside." Wife Sherry had a dream where pal Luana came to solve a problem. In the dream Sherry said, "but you died 20 years ago. How can you be here?" Luana said "Think of 11:11. We meet at the decimals."

What makes it a metaphor is Sherry didn't know what she meant.  I had heard during the research that people on the flipside need to slow down their frequency to communicate with us.  We need to be open to that, through dreams or hypnotherapy where the filters are down. If we think of one 11 as a hallway on their side, our side as another hallway (the other 11) "we meet at the fence between us to communicate." 

Aside from the obvious digital v analog reply, "no one ran around before saying its eleven after eleven!" - the awareness of the symmetry could be a metaphor for someone tapping our shoulder.  When it happens,  think "who directed my attention to this clock?"  Could be coincidence; could be something more.

My two cents (and amazed those two cents were viewed by over 7 million folks on a website.)

My two cents.
