RICHARD MARTINI Author of:
FLIPSIDE: A TOURIST’S GUIDE ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THE AFTERLIFE
IT’S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE: FURTHER ADVENTURES INTO THE FLIPSIDE (VOL 1 AND 2)
Chicago native, author and Award Winning Filmmaker Richard Martini has written and/or directed 9 indie films. A former freelance journalist for Variety, Inc.Com, Premiere and other magazines, a graduate of the Masters of Professional Writing Program at USC “Flipside” was his debut non-fiction book
on a topic that’s been haunting him since the death of a soul mate.
After a dream vision of visiting his friend in the Great Beyond, Martini went on a literary quest to find out what the prevailing science and philosophical opinions on the Afterlife are. He journeys into Tibetan Philosophy, makes documentaries in Tibet and India, and eventually is introduced to the work of the Newton Institute, founded by renowned author and hypnotherapist Dr. Michael Newton (“Journey of Souls”). The book contains interviews with numerous hypnotherapists who talk about past life regression and life between life therapy where they help patients examine their immortal identity.
He documents some rather startling hypnotherapy sessions including his own, which confirms for him the research that Dr. Newton has pioneered. Touching upon
quantum physics, near-death experiences, the history of hypnosis and clairvoyant experiences, Martini connects them together with evidence that argues consciousness appears to exist outside of our physical selves, and is connected to our higher spiritual selves in an eternal, yet evolving manner.
He discovers that life after death is a return to the source of all things, to the source of our existence, where we gather up the courage and fortitude to make another journey back to Earth with our loved ones, to examine
another life where we can learn deep spiritual lessons. “We choose our parents, and together with our loved ones, choose what life we’ll lead, whether difficult or not.”
He takes the reader through this remarkable journey in a clear, concise manner, making the trip enjoyable and easy to comprehend. As one critic put it to him recently, “This book isn’t just fantastic, it’s profoundly fantastic.”
“Flipside” went to #1 at Amazon (Kindle, all its genres) and his follow up series “It’s a Wonderful Afterlife” also went to #1 due to his
appearances on “Coast to Coast” radio. “It’s A Wonderful Afterlife” expands his research into the afterlife, including interviews with Dr. Bruce Greyson, Mario Beauregard PhD and Gary Schwartz PhD about consciousness existing outside the brain.
The author interviews people who’ve had both near-death experiences and between life hypnotherapy sessions and includes transcripts from between life sessions including his own. The documentary “Flipside” is distributed by Gaiam TV and Amazon Prime.
Praise for “Flipside”: “Richard has written a terrific book. Insightful, funny, provocative and deep; I highly recommend it!” Robert Thurman (“Why the Dalai Lama Matters”)
“Everyone should have a Richard Martini in their life.” Charles Grodin (“Just When I Thought I’d Heard Everything!”)
“Inspiring, well written and entertaining. The
kind of book where once you have read it, you will no longer be able to see the world in the same way again.”Gary E. Schwartz PhD (“The Sacred Promise”)
“We viewed “Flipside” last night and were blown away about how good it is; the visuals were outstanding – the care taken in putting it all together really shows.”Michael Newton (“Journey of Souls”) (about the film
version of “Flipside”).

BB King and the Flipside; Texas Teen who saw Jesus before being revived
Long Live the King!
BB gave me this pin one night, backstage at the Johnny Carson show. I gave him a Martini pin I was wearing on my lapel, and he gave me this. BB King on a chess (board). How poetic.
My favorite BB King memory: I was 17, attending his show in Chicago. This is the days when people used to "light up" during a show, and when I did, (ahem) this older African American next to me said "Could you pass that along, brother?"
So we shared that joint, and soon were laughing and crying at the amazing guitar licks coming from Lucille. "Oh man!" and "Tell it!" he'd say. It was hours of shared nirvana, the two of us in the pitch dark theater acting like kids at a gospel show.
Then when the lights came up, he did a double take, looking at my long hair and I saw his grey hair. "You're just a young white dude!" he said, in shock. I said "And you're just an old black dude!" Then we laughed harder and shook hands - I knew the "69th and Jeffrey" south side handshake - for those who understand the different street handshakes Chicago had at the time. BB's music transcended age, transcended race, transcended time and space. Long live the King.
Meanwhile, there's this story of a young man who saw "a long haired man" during a near death experience, who realized that the man telling him it "wasn't his time yet" was Jesus. And he came back. See story below.
So, on this day where we commemorate BB King's life, important to keep that snare and a high hat going... "BB is not dead. He's just left the building." and "BB's not lost. He's just not here." This young man died and saw a fella with long hair and a beard who told him everything was going to be okay and he needed to come back. I've got dozens of the same cases, and have done extensive interviews on camera and off with people who are sane, who aren't trying to sell me anything, who experienced, saw, were touched by the same fellow.
How do people recognize him as "Jesus?" Well... they just do. Not like he's wearing a name tag. It's like they've met him before, or they don't need an introduction. Doesn't mean you have to start wearing pyramid hats, or saying your prayers before meals - but it does mean there's something to his job, or gig, telling people "it's not your time" or "You should go back."
The rest of it, the dogma, the interpretation holds little interest for me. I'm interested in the data, or the reports. And reports are consistent and replicable - which is all science requires. Ain't no name tags reported - but some pretty good music.
As President Barack Obama said:"There’s going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight."
Well.. there's evidence to back up his claim. And this kid's as well. Flipside: A Tourist's Guide On How To Navigate the Afterlife and It's a Wonderful Afterlife: Further Adventures in the Flipside Vol 1 or Vol 2 (or the DVD for Flipside)

Luana's Birthday and Scott De Tamble talks Flipside hypnotherapy
For fans of "Flipside" today is our pal Luana Anders birthday - or day she chose to join us on the planet.
![]() |
| "The Essence of our Relationship" |
Happy Birthday Luana!
When I put this photo on the fridge in 1996 I said aloud "Look, Lu, the essence of our relationship." - laughs and cappuccinos from L.A. to Rome. About 3 months after she checked off the planet, Charles Grodin had the psychic James Van Praagh on his talk show, and Chuck had me secretly call in to test how accurate he might be. When I asked about "a friend named Luana" Van Praagh said "She says there's a photograph on your refrigerator that is the essence of your relationship."
Luana's not gone. She's just not here.
She's home.

| Lu |
On that note, I filmed this talk the other day at the Orange County Iands group about what it's like over there; home.

| Scott De Tamble lightbetweenlives.com |
In it, clinical hypnotherapist Scott De Tamble talks about between life hypnotherapy and some of the insight he's gained from his 14 years doing it, as well as the Michael Newton method of hypnotherapy. After his 50 minute talk, there's a 20 minute open discussion, where I add my two cents about some of the cases that I've filmed with Scott.
I've been filming between life hypnotherapy sessions for the past six years, many with Scott, and the transcripts appear in "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" or "It's a Wonderful Afterlife: Further Adventures in the Flipside" volumes one and two.
The film "Flipside: a Journey into the Afterlife" features some of Scott's sessions, as well as interviews with other hypnotherapists.(all available online, in audible, ebook and paperback via flipsidethebook.com.) If you're interested in booking a session with Scott, he's in Claremont, CA, his website is lightbetweenlives.com. This talk was given at the Orange County Iands group (International Association of Near Death Studies), more info can be found at IANDS.org.
This is an organization dedicated to sharing experiences of a spiritual nature and most everyone in the room of this talk has either had a near death experience, or is familiar with the concepts Scott is speaking about (and people ask questions that he answers at the end of his talk) the form of hypnosis that is 4 to 6 hours in length, and was pioneered by psychologist Michael Newton, who taught Scott his method that he honed over 30 years with 7000 clients.
In the recent books, I examine the near death experiences (which science has been able to catalog and use in peer reviewed journals - see the work of Dr. Bruce Greyson at UVA) and compare them with between life sessions, where people under deep hypnosis see, experience, hear or feel some of the same hallmarks that people do during an NDE - a past life review, a visit with a guide or higher energy, moving into the light and beyond it, the experience of unconditional love, etc.

| Luana waving from home. |
The premise of my latest books is that if we can study NDEs in a scientific setting and get verifiable results (that can and have been duplicated, in studies like Dr. Sam Parnia's "Aware" project) then we should be able to view these accounts of deep hypnosis between life sessions through the same lens.
Thousands of people have had them, report the same events no matter what their religious, ethnic or gender, and Michael Newton has trained hundreds of therapists who ask roughly the same questions to their clients - and the results are remarkable for their similarities, whether the client has ever been under hypnosis, or in many cases, is a skeptic and doesn't believe in any form of afterlife whatsoever.
So please listen to this talk in its entirety, if you have the 70 minutes, and keep an open mind.
I've known Scott for six years now, have filmed a number of sessions with him, and consider him a virtuoso in his abilities to explore and examine what a person says while under hypnosis about their previous lifetimes, and the journey of their souls between lifetimes. This is a pretty amazing talk, and if you're open to it, it will change your perspective about the planet.
Enjoy. And Happy Birthday Lu. Without further adieu:
