I've been asked how to view Flipside: A Journey into the Afterlife from outside the US. There are a couple of ways, one is to sign up with Gaia.com to view the film on their streaming website. Here's the link: The other way is to make a donation on paypal for the film. I set the viewing price at $5 to make it easy for anyone to view, in order to do this, you need to go to PayPal.com and sign up for a free account. Then go to the section for making a donation - there's a button on the right side of this page:
For those outside the country to watch FLIPSIDE the Film. Click on this button and donate $5, an email comes to me and I will send you a viewable link asap. Thank you!!!! RM
If you click on the donate button, enter $5 or the rough equivalent wherever you are on the planet, and a link will be sent within a few minutes, or a few hours to your email account associated with paypal. Hope this helps! Thank you. RM Here's a little music from my CD "Rich Martini on the Rocks" that I ran into on youtube today. Who knew? Rock on.
Another night of active discussion... which I'm passing along.
Another night of conversation on the Flipside
Seemed to be a topic that I'm familiar with, and to the best of my memory, it goes like this: On the Flipside everyone is equal. What that means is that when stripped of the classifications that we hold so dearly, everyone on the Flipside is after all, just energy. And by classifications I mean black, white, asian, women, men, young, old, short, tall, fat, thin, talented, not talented, happy, angry... all of them the same. So everyone you meet on the Flipside is part of that giant energetic pool - as if everyone in the pool was a droplet of water. Hard to discern what different droplets of water are like - I mean I can assume that like snowflakes every drop has different qualities - but from our perspective, snow flakes are just snow, and water droplets are just water, after all.
Just a couple of droplets who met in Tibet outside Mt. Kailash
Each droplet of water is no different, no better, no worse, no richer, no poorer, no different than any of the other droplets of water. There are some droplets that are older than other droplets, but they're wiser and understand the necessity of accepting all droplets equally - and some of the droplets are younger, and look up in awe to the older droplets - but after all, we're just droplets in the pool. If you want to experience what it's like on the Flipside, start there. Imagine yourself diving into a pool of other souls. They're everywhere around you - but enough space between you and them so you don't feel confined or squished. And when you send out a positive vibe, like putting an electric wire in a pool - all the other droplets feel that electricity. Simultaneously.
We're all connected at all times whether we want to be or not.
If you're going to put out a negative vibe, the same thing will occur, but because that's a weaker energetic construct it won't go very far, because the positive charge is that much more powerful than the negative charge. It's like polluting the clear fresh water with ink - it will be swallowed up and consumed by the rest of the droplets, as if it was never there. (Again, this is a riff from a conversation I was having in my sleep.) Each droplet has free will. So we choose to be droplets in the pool. We choose to be in existence, and we choose to participate in the pool. We can get out of the pool, that's fine, that's a different experience - but it's akin to being "separated from the other droplets and sitting on the edge of the pool by yourself." It's certainly needed by some droplets, but the rest of the droplets are saying "Hey dude, what are you doing out of the pool? This is where the fun is! Get back in here and experience this with us!"
Get back in the pool! We miss you!
I've heard a number of people say "I don't feel like I want to be here. I'd like to go home. It's too hard to be here." To which I reply "Yeah, you said that back in 1502, that it was too hard to participate back then - but you haven't read the small print. You signed up to experience this journey, and you won't get your degree - in fact you may hold back everyone in your class if you decide you can't handle this any more. You can handle it. That's why you signed up for it. It's like an actor who says "I can't do this play. It's too hard. I'm feeling too much emotion. I'm tired. I'm bored. I'm anxious." Well, that's what you signed up for - to experience what its like to breathe. The other day someone in a sessions said "When we're not on the planet, we covet breath. Everyone misses being able to breathe." Well we all know what thats like, not being able to breath - and gasping for breath. And the idea that we would miss it while we're not here is new to me - it's a new concept I hadn't thought about or considered. Or its like a person who has a near death experience - they're suddenly out of the pool and their loved ones greet them and say "sorry, your time in the pool isn't done yet. Go back in the pool and finish your swim. We'll see you soon. Go back to work."
Another version of a pool. Pere LaChaise Paris.
There's a lot of things we miss when we're not on the planet (in the pool.) Cappuccino for me. I'm sure someone makes a mean version over there, but it's just not... the .. same... spaghetti carbonara for example. i'm sure there's a chef outside of Rome who makes a good version... but I haven't met that chef yet.... and it just won't be the same... oh there's other stuff, holding hands, kissing - these things are different over there, they will be missed. I had one friend say "It's different over here because I can no longer hug trees. There are trees over here, but they don't feel the same when you hug them. So try to appreciate trees more."
Hungtington Gardens, Pasadena. Nice bench.
Trees are lungs. They even look like lungs. They give us oxygen. Why would anyone kill or tear down a lung? It's hard enough to breathe over here in the first place. Why would we allow people to tear out our lungs? Anyways, my flipside thought for the day.
All this talk about the Flipside has my brain working when I'm asleep.
Sometimes I wake up to hear what it was I was talking about over there. Or while I was asleep. Or while I was dreaming. Take your pick. But lately it's about time. I've heard the new age gurus talk about "Time doesn't exist" on the Flipside, and that's a topic I've written extensively about in my books. I don't care if people have heard from folks on the other side that "Time does not exist" - because my research shows that it does exist - just relatively. What I mean by relatively is simply this; we have young souls and old souls over on the Flipside. A soul goes through experiences to become an old soul. Souls don't start out complete - they get complete. So if you're going to discuss progression, then there is absolutely progression on the Flipside. If you think of it like a University, it might help. We start as freshmen, and end as almuni -of each class, of each life lesson. We may not learn all the lessons at the same time, just like in life, we can teach old dogs new tricks, we can learn things late in life that we never knew. Likewise, some young people come in as "old souls" talk like "old souls" and then that seems to fade away, depending on their age and sociological backdrop - and they get about the business of living a life. But their "soul" or their "life energy" is here learning those lessons which get transmitted back to ourselves. And those life lessons are shared with everyone in our soul group. And by extension that means that everyone in our soul group can access that life lesson, so therefore, everyone in the universe may actually get something from the life lesson.
We can think of those lessons as increments - as teeny tiny movements of the soul - but if you examine what I'm saying, that the universe is "sentient" as was reported in one of the sessions in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" - I think that's what he was talking about. That we can and do learn from others experiences and mistakes - not in a cognizant, conscious way - but on some other subliminal energetic way. Doesn't mean those lessons are going to be valuable for our lifetime. But they may be valuable to our overall progression. Back to the time frame.
A sunset here is a sunrise somewhere else.
I've been trying to wrap my head around it. I had one person in "It's A Wonderful Afterlife" describe her 25 year lifetime here on earth as if "she had gone out for a 10 minute cigarette break" from what she was doing on the Flipside (she's a teacher over there - she was saying her class was waiting for her upon her return, and noted that it felt like that 25 year lifetime living as an English Captain aboard a ship in 1610 - "felt like it was only ten minutes long.") So let's begin there. If ten minutes over there feels like 25 years here (relatively), then imagine what 100 years feels like (40 minutes) or 250 years feels like (length of a movie, about 120 minutes) - and a thousand years will feel like about 4 movies, and 2000 years will feel like sitting through 8 movies... So what's a million years feel like? Over there on the Flipside? About 500 movies. 500 two hour experiences. Like watching movies for a year and a half straight. I mean it's a relative concept I'm pointing out. But the reports are consistent in this regard. "Time exists completely different over here." I'm just suggesting that we don't have to go into a brain freeze when trying to examine it. Yes it's different. It's relative to who we are - and relative to who everyone is. But there is a time line - just different than the one here.
I speak in movie lengths as it's a common reference anyone can understand
Some people can observe it in multiple dimensions, like seeing all the moves in a 3d chess game played on many levels. One therapist suggested that from the Flipside, looking at a person's life, was like seeing multiple 3d chess games "from above." That's useful - but since most of us don't play 3d chess - or can't think 32 moves ahead like Bobby Fisher could - it's a bit hard to wrap our minds around.
texting in the 19th century
My point is that when we think about the Earth, or mankind's journey on the planet - and we consider that civilizations date back about 60,000 years (give or take) we're talking about a relatively short amount of time. (How many movies is that? You do the math, my calculator is tired.) Not just in earth history - but a relatively short time in human history, since we've reportedly lived on other planets, and will do so again. Yes, that is just my reporting - it's in the data. About 30% of the people who do between life sessions these days report some form of "off world experience." Meaning lives they lived previously (or currently in a multiple lives perspective) not on this planet. Further, people report we've lived on other planets before - that our etheric energy moves into various planets and realms and experiences lives over there, just like we do here. It's a system that's been in place for... oh... a long time I suspect.
But how does that give us perspective into examining our lives over here from a Flipside perspective? Meaning - how do people over on the Flipside "slow themselves down" in order to communicate with us? If what they're experiencing is at that great rate of speed - and this is where my brain begins to freeze when thinking about it - what's it like for them to watch us over here? Is it like watching a fast motion piece of footage? (I used one to open my film "You Can't Hurry Love" - now it feels prescient). The best I can come up with is what it must be like for hummingbirds to look at us... moving in slow motion to their hyper reality. Or looking at a school of fish that move incredibly quickly - when they look out the fishtank, what do they see? Images of really slow people moving around?
Honest Abe is still honest Abe over there.
I suspect this is why so many people have reported being contacted by animals after a loved one has past. That it's easier to "manipulate" - not the right word, because I think it's done as a favor or an act of love - that hummingbirds, butterflies and other flying things show up to remind us of our loved ones. That's a theory - not based on any evidence - not based on eyewitness reports - but just based on my observations. This is why it's so hard for those on the Flipside to reach out to us on this side - because our receivers are at a different speed - like transistor radios compared to digital signals... however, there still are some analog methods to receive radio signals from a transistor radio - and we just need to be open to how our loved ones reach out to us from the other side.
