Epigenetics and the Afterlife

Got this email today.  About the study that shows that "cells remember previous lifetimes."

"Rich, Holy shit. Have you seen this study?

http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v17/n1/full/nn.3594.html

So cool. What do you think? Does this provide an alternative explanation for LBL experiences? That rather than remembering past lives, those past lives are embedded in the DNA of our brain when we’re born? Or are there still things that would be inconsistent with LBL?

Do tell…"

Epigenetics.  

They've even got a new science to spend money trying to explain it. Here's Google's tongue in cheek entry:

Epigenetics is the study of these chemical reactions and the factors that influence them. Meet the epigenome and learn how it influences DNA. Change the level of gene expression in a cell with the turn of a dial!

They tortured mice, and then the children of those mice would be afraid of those dudes who tortured them.  That was the first study.  "Mice remember FEAR!"

Well, that doesn't mean that there is only one mode of communication between a mouse and what's been happening to him.  Could be auntie or uncle mouse's ghosts whispering in their ear "Watch out for humans in white lab coats! they'll torture you!"  Could be that the white coated devils thinking of evil torture influenced the mouse.  (I'm just giving you the kind of "super denial" that I've read from scientists about consciousness existing outside the brain. That somehow the "thought" of the action has influenced the action itself.  If that's true, then its true here as well.)

In this case, as I read the study -  they expanded it to smell.  The smell of cherry blossoms.. Okay.  (We had a cherry tree in our backyard, and I can smell it now. My brother fell out of it and broke his arm. I wonder if his arm aches when he sees cherry pies? But I digress).

Is there a possibility that the ghost mice are telling them to watch out for humans who want to torture them again?  It's possible.

And it's also possible that some forms of fear - terror - are passed down genetically into the body.

Which is why I hate kneeling in church pews.  From too many times kneeling and digging up potatoes in Ireland.  My knees are predestined to hate kneelers.

But I digress.

Data is data.

What does this tell us about this test?  That there is a possibility that something gets passed down to the mice.  Could be a smell trigger, could be a sound trigger, or a light trigger - how did humans realize that sharks were dangerous? Or snakes for that matter?  Was it only from watching others get eaten?  Or is there a cell memory of that kind of terror from when we swam alongside them?  I know when I've been in shark cages and I see the open mouth of a shark coming at me, something beyond panic sets in to my "lizard brain."  It feels like memory.  I'm not saying it is.  But it feels the same.  "Oh right, I remember this. Run!"

(I used the term shark cage facetiously. I've been in aquariums where the sharks swim around you while you walk through a glass tube. Sydney Aquarium for example)

There's more - and here's where it gets fun.

Some animals already know the antidote to poison.  They weren't told or taught by their parents - but there's an animal in the bush that after being bitten by a poisonous snake knows to go and rub its wound on a particular shrub that is the antidote to the snake bite.

That's been a known fact for decades.

They discovered that a particular type of female bird "pretends" to mate for life - but actually goes out and mates when anyone who flies by in order to produce offspring.  And.. it turns out the male sperm of the bird doing the flying around has a killer sequence in it - at the end of its output - that is spermicide to any new sperm arriving in its mate.  

Like nature is trying to protect his sperm from other sperm that might (and often does) show up later. So where did that spermicide come from?  Some bird class on safe bird sex?

So let's ask - "What's the difference between animals who use their genetic memory to keep them alive and humans?" 

Animals - human animals included - must have certain "cellular memories" or "epigenetic memories" in order to keep the species alive.  

Humans are NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANIMALS. (Since we can't prove or even define consciousness, we can't rule out that animals are conscious as well, can we?)

So, there's one "how do you do" moment that science has found a way to prove.

But now go a step further.  

Thousands of people - and of course it's 100's of thousands, over the course of history - remember previous lifetimes.  And these previous lifetimes aren't in their same genetic tree - sometimes they remember being asian, african, caucausian, male, female, etc... and if you look hard enough you'll see the forensic research that matches their accounts.  

So they can't be remembering someone in their family tree - if their family tree doesn't include this particular lifetime.  

But what are they remembering?

Science (tries to) tell us that it's a "pool of consciousness" as described by Carl Jung.  This geriatric pool of stored memories, that must go somewhere after someone dies, because energy doesn't die, it just moves elsewhere, so when someone is "remembering" a different lifetime, they're merely remembering "bits and pieces of a particular lifetime that happens to be out in the universe." (I've heard this theory from more than one scientist.)

But that doesn't make a lick of sense either.  Because people don't remember bits and pieces - when they're properly interviewed about their memory.  They remember the death, and then what happens after that.  The traveling back to their "home" - the between lives realm where they get to reconnect with their loved ones who talk to them about information they never knew (New information) where they learn about people who are dead they didn't know were dead (New information) they have life reviews from various points of view not only their own (New information) and they find themselves remembering the conversations they had before coming to this lifetime and why they would do so.

So it's not quite the same as the body flinching when you put a knife to it - or smell the sent of Cherries (unless you were drowned in a vat of Cherries in a previous lifetime, or even choked on a pit) - then you too might flinch the way these mice have flinched.. from their "epigentic memory."

What they're doing is proving that we are human animals - but completely avoiding the research to understand and examine how we are also spiritual creatures AT THE SAME TIME.

We are both animals and spirits.  We are perfect combination of the two.  And one has a physical evolution that requires DNA, requires a safe environment, requires being able to be born, grow up, reproduce and pass away.  And one has a spiritual evolution that includes previous lifetimes, current lifetimes, and future lifetimes, each with its own version of "graduation" from one level to the next.  At least that's what the reports show.  That's what the research shows.

So sure, why not?  We have cell memories.  Might help us in a fight with a poisonous snake (if we can only remember the name of that shrub - which I can't for the life of me.)  And yes, we have spiritual memories that we appear to be able to access on a daily basis - and often on a nightly basis.

OK. I FOUND IT: "The roots of the plant “chota – chand” in Nepal were found to be antidote for snake-bite, a fact learnt after watching mongooses feeding on the plant before fighting cobras. Man may not after all be the only sapient animal."

and that's my two cents for the day.  RM

Proof of Life After Death via New Information

I'm often asked...

"But is there any proof?"

Usually the question is preceded by swear words, or annoyed reactions.  "Yeah, right" is common. So I started thinking about it.  

Where is the proof?

And if it's not something tangible - how could it be? And just what is tangible evidence of there being "Life after Death?"

Waiting for enlightenment at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica

And it occurred to me, that the proof is in the telling.  

It's in the actual tale that is told by the person who experiences it.

First, allow me to state up front that spirits, ghosts, people who used to live on the planet and no longer do is one particular form of inquiry. 

Then we have people who experience ESP, people who are alive, on the planet and have some kind of extrasensory event occur that isn't easily dismissed.  

Then we have people who have a near death experience, who claim that while they were "no longer in their body" they experience all kinds of events, usually wonderful, sometimes less so. 

And finally we have people who've had out of body experiences, who while they're napping, or sleeping, they find themselves feeling the experience of "leaving" their body and traveling out and around (sometimes into space) and seeing some unusual things.  

We also have accounts of religious people who've had a spiritual awakening or experience where suddenly they feel like they know some of the secrets of the universe, have "spoken to God" or somehow been moved in some unnatural way. 

And then we have people under deep hypnosis who recall a previous lifetime, but beyond that, a life between lives where they report that they travel "back home" where they see and experience a number of various hallmarks that include soul groups, wise elders and other tales.

So is there a working model for all of this other worldly behavior?

I suggest that there is.

Includes interviews with scientists

We find in these detailed accounts from Michael Newton's work ("Journey of Souls") that there's a working model. That we as souls are born from energy, that we're each looked over by a spirit guide, that we live back home with a group of other souls that we normally incarnate with, and that we have affiliated groups around us at all times.  His clients also reported life reviews while visiting back there, meeting spiritual guides, and sometimes visiting a "hall of records" of sorts which contain all the possible lifetimes of everyone in existence.  

Newton had 7000 clients take him to this life between lives arena over his 30 year career before he published the results.  I have investigated 26 cases where I chose the subjects, chose them because of their skepticism, and filmed them having the same results whether or not they believe in an afterlife, believed they could be hypnotized or believe in anything beyond their own reality.  And they all had the same basic experience.

And I've filmed myself having four different LBLs with two different therapists on two sides of the continent. The results from examining these cases, is that they're nearly identical to those listed above, and serve as a model for all of them.

Includes transcripts of LBL sessions

Now he's not the only psychologist to explore this in his work.  Dr. Helen Wambach explores it in her work, that predates his publication by ten years.  She did sessions of people under hypnosis and asked a series of questions that got the same results that Michael Newton's work did.

And he's not the only therapist who has dealt with past life regression - Dr. Brian Weiss has written extensively about his work, Dr. Raymond Moody has written extensively about it, Dr. Bruce Greyson has written extensively about near death experiences in scientific journals, Dr. Jim Tucker has written extensively about the reincarnation cases he's examined, Dr. Gary Schwartz has written extensively about his scientific research into mediums and ESP.

And they aren't all in agreement about their own particular fields, I might add.  But they all appear in some form or another in my book.

Further, the details that these people report, including life reviews, tunnels of light, a feeling of connectedness to everyone and all things, are reported in near death experiences in the same words.  So people who have "died" and come back to report these details are basically saying the same things that Newton's clients are saying.  There are variations, but basically those variations seem to depend on each individual.  In other words, your experience in the after life is unique to you.  

So people who sense ghosts - people who've died but haven't gone home - people who sense events in the future - outside the timeline so to speak - people who speak to and hear from the dead, are all reporting the same thing.

Includes interview with Michael Newton

But is this evidence of the afterlife?

It is if the report includes new information.

New information would be a report of something that the person experiencing it does not know, could not know, could never know.

New information would be a report of a sibling, friend or relative who is dead, that no one else knows is dead.

New information would be a report of meeting or seeing people who are dead, but that this person never knew were dead, or had never heard of before, and yet can be examined because they existed.

New information would be reporting that in a previous lifetime they said or did something that no one over here could possibly know about and upon forensic research finds out to be true.

New information would be someone who has passed on, reporting a piece of information that has occurred somewhere on the planet that this person does not yet know.

New information would be someone who has passed on and reveals a secret phrase or word to someone who is still here on the planet.

I have all of these above reports in the books "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" and "It's a Wonderful Afterlife: Further Adventures into the Flipside" volumes one and two.  

For example, Dr. Eben Alexander met a sister he never knew he had during his near death experience, Colton Burpo met a sister he didn't know he had during his near death experience, when my own father passed away, he spoke to me and gave me a list of names to tell my mother that he was currently with - and she recognized them as friends who had died during WWII. Names I'd never heard, could not have heard of.

NEW INFORMATION.

But here are some links - each one has its own form of "New Information." Details a child could not know, never heard and could not access in this lifetime.  So where does that leave us?

Once we realize we may incarnate, that we can incarnate, doesn't it make sense for us to leave behind fresh water, air and land if only so we can use it the next time we're here?

I hear dead people.  On the set of "my bollywood bride."

Interview for Smashwords

Interview with Richard Martini

How did you come upon this research into the Afterlife?

A close friend died and came to visit me a couple of times. And then she took me, literally, in an OBE to visit her in her galaxy where she resides, as if to say "you wanted to know where I was, here I am." Instead of ignoring these events, I began to study them in detail; NDE's, Past life regression, until I found the work of Michael Newton (Journey of Souls). I interviewed him, his wife, and began filming "life between life" sessions for a documentary "Flipside." But once I began seeing how now matter who the subject was, or who the hypnotherapist was, everyone said the same things about the afterlife - including me during two sessions - I realized the research was too broad for just a documentary and wrote this book.

What was your own past life regression and between life sessions like?

When they asked if I wanted to try one, I realized i'd be crossing the line as a journalist, my training, and as a documentary filmmaker. But in a George Plimpton moment, I said yes, and had pretty much the identical journey everyone else had. But not the same - quite different - but the sign posts were identical; spirit guide, soul group, council of elders - and I found my friend in her classroom, wondering what I was doing there visiting her. Two years later, I did another session with a second therapist to see if the results would be similar - and I felt like I had "left the door open" for two years, waiting for my return. All I can say is that it's a profound version of therapy - you can have an NDE without experiencing the ND part.

Has this research alter your beliefs or religious background?

Honestly I think it enhances them. Not in the traditional way - because there's no reports of hell, or a place of suffering - only forgiveness, compassion and a strong desire to help other people. I realized after filming these sessions that these people were reporting eyewitness accounts of what happens between lives - the process, the journey, how it works - the meaning of life really. And that transforms anyone's concept of what religion might be - however, the more I examined these reports, the more I saw how religion is like the echo of what's really happening - and the religions that focus on love, on compassion, on loving everyone as themselves - were actually mirroring what people say about the afterlife. No offense to any religion - but I think it enhances it.

How has your background contributed to you being an author?

During my first LBL I got to ask the question; "Why did I choose me?" And I saw that every action, word or creation contains the energy of healing - the energy of the person creating it, and these works of art, or acts of love, go out into the universe like ripples on a lake. They can and do affect people that experience a song, an artwork - anything we create that comes from the heart. And it was then I saw how I had chosen to be a filmmaker, as I thought the combination of words, music, expressions of love through actors, could actually heal people. I also noted "I'm sorry that I'm just not better at it" - meaning my career didn't turn out as I had planned or hoped. But I also got the message that I should be patient - one can only hope!

What's your opinion on self publishing - smashwords, etc?

I tried the traditional route - one publisher wrote "we aren't publishing memoirs right now." I was startled - was my book a memoir? so i went back and cut out as much as I could about me and made it just about what I'd been hearing and seeing.. I did leave in how I came to these conclusions, and my own life experience - and when I was done, had some great friends help me edit it. But it went to #1 at Amazon because i filmed a book talk - I posted that talk to ten people on youtube, some other people saw it and invited me to speak at their group in Virginia Beach, and someone in that audience wrote to "Coast to Coast" and insisted I should go on - the day after my first appearance with George Noory, the book was #1 in its genres.

What's the difference between past life regression and between life therapy?

As Michael Newton puts it, the PLR is a "gateway" into the spirit world. Over 30 years he had 7000 clients take him to the between lives realm - something he was at first skeptical of, and didn't believe in past life regression. But once a client took him there, he began to catalog what everyone could observe, and my book was my own way of confirming his work using a dozen subjects that I had chosen. But in an LBL session, the client goes through their life, then to a "previous life that has some significance to this one" and finally, they go to the death scene of that previous lifetime - and that's the entryway into the spirit world. And once you're in there - the whole universe opens up with all of its secrets. So PLR is like a warmup, and LBL is the game.

Is your research espousing a new age philosophy of some kind?

People frequently correct me and say "thats what you believe" and I say, actually, I'm just reporting what thousands have said under deep hypnosis. It has nothing to do with a belief - or philosophy - it's just reporting the details of these sessions, and how remarkably similar they are, as well as similar to NDEs. So I'm more of a journalist reporting these details - and the film "Flipside" is just the same, but allowing the audience to hear the people in their own voices say what they're seeing and experiencing them. So if you don't believe what you're reading in the book, watch the documentary and judge for yourself whether these people are being manipulated or making the details up as they go along. It's just not what I've experienced.

Perhaps what people are experiencing in these sessions is the Jungian unconscious?

I've heard this from at least one scientist. I cite in the book a case where an Oxford professor had an LBL and saw a woman from this lifetime as his soul mate in a previous lifetime. After he wrote to me about the session I asked if he was friends with the woman still; he was. I asked if he could not tell her anything about his session, and I would arrange a session for her in another city with another therapist. As it turned out it was in NYC - and she had the identical past life memory of being married to this fellow in the 19th century in Boston. Two individuals doing LBL sessions with different therapists - neither therapist knew about the other, and she knew nothing of his session. The odds are astronomical, but it points to a reality - life continues on.

Where can people find your films and work?

I started to film all of my book talks, as well as my talks with near death organizations (IANDS). You can find them by searching my last name, Martini, the name of the book "Flipside" and youtube. I speak for a couple of hours each time on these topics, some of the stories are the same, and some are anecdotes, but by and large you can get a sense for free of what it is I'm talking about. One is a live demonstration of the technique with a woman who came out of the audience and was having some difficulty - Scott De Tamble of lightbetweenlives.com did a session on the spot and helped this woman. It's pretty startling, and the only LBL session I'm aware of that's ever been done in this way.

What's the future of this research?

I've continued to film LBL sessions - and am working on my next book on the topic: "Flipside: the Veil is Thinning." There are more stories and some incredible sessions. I'm also participating with Gary Schwartz PhD who wrote the foreword to Flipside, in scientific research in the field. I've solicited his help in creating a study where we can add all the protocols needed to have the results published in a peer reviewed journal (He has PhD's from Harvard and Yale and teaches at the University of AZ). I'm not really interested in proving there's life after death - for some it's just too much to fathom - but I am interested in getting folks to realize we MIGHT be coming back to the planet, so doesn't it make sense to leave clean water, air and food behind?

Where can we find your work?

As a filmmaker, I'm on netflix, imdb, with some pretty hard to find titles. I have links to most of them on my web page, richmartini.com - as an author you can find me online about everywhere, createspace and ingram are offering the book for print, but smashwords and itunes and the rest will have it online. Although I'm not quite sure why "Flipside" is only offered on itunes in Japan. Maybe that can be cleared up. Anyways, the good news is we choose our lives, we choose our parents, we even choose the stones in our path so we can learn from crossing them. The question is; why did you choose to be here? What did you come to teach or learn? And how can you expand your concept of compassion or love to include everyone on the planet?

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?

My first published work was a joke that I sent into the local paper: "Cat wins a race, gets the ribbon for first place. Goes into a bar, and spend the afternoon celebrating with his pals. Goes home, wife is upset, "Where have you been?" Tells her the story about winning the race and going to the bar. Wife doesn't believe him. His kitten goes down to the bar, sits up on the stool and bartender says "What'll you have?" Kitten says "Pap's blue ribbon." I made $5 and I was 10 years old.

What is your writing process?

I approach writing like I do a film, or a story - I tend to map it out, hone it, then as I go along see what happens. In the case of writing these latest non fiction books, I let the interviews and subjects speak for themselves, and try to find a way to create a narrative. One thing leading to the next. There's two kinds of sculptors in the world; Donatello and Michaelangelo (who was Michelangelo's teacher). Donatello took a piece of marble and shaped it, honed it, kept polishing and fixing it until he was happy with the end result. Michelangelo would carve what he was interested in - and arm, a face, a leg - almost perfectly, as if the figure was already in the marble and he was releasing it. That's two ways to approach writing - either shape it, hone it, rewrite it - or spend time on perfecting one chapter, then another, then fit them together as if they're emerging from the book itself.

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?

One of the first that had a dramatic impact on me was "Tale of Two Cities" "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." and "Tis a far far better thing that I do than I have ever done, tis a far far better place that I go than I have ever been." Doesn't get much better than that. I was part of a grade school "great books" program, and was reading a Hardy Boy's book per day. So the combo of Hardy boys and great writers influenced me when I started reading. Probably how I work in films; pulpy with a stab at profundity.  Not very successful at it I might add.

How do you approach cover design?

Let a professional do it. I suggest some ideas, and then let him or her come up with their vision.

What are your five favorite books, and why?

Depends on what point in my life we're talking about. I've been reading a lot of books about the afterlife as of late, so I'm a fan of David Bennett's "Voyage of Purpose" Annie Kagan's "Afterlife of Billy Fingers" Galen Stoller's "My Life Afterlife Life" - I list them all in the bibliography of my books.

What do you read for pleasure?

Non fiction bios.

What's the story behind your latest book?

After "Flipside" came out people started contacting me with the transcripts of their between life sessions. Also, I spoke to some scientists at the University of Virginia, and they basically observed that science doesn't consider hypnosis a valid scientific tool. So I examined near death cases (which have been studied scientifically) and compared them to between life accounts and found how remarkably similar they are. Also I include some other interviews that corroborate the research in general, like the attorney who says that all of her clients have been visited by their victims - she represents second degree killers - car accidents, etc - and says that all of her clients have had a vision, dream or visitation from their victims, saying in essence "I'm okay. And I can help you." That's unlike anything that's ever been reported before, and if its accurate - gives us a different perspective on what we're doing on the planet.

What motivated you to become an indie author?

My agent sent my book around to the majors and they said "Amazing story, but who is he? How do we sell and market him?" Being in the film business, I understand that - you still need to get people booked onto talk shows to sell a book. And then one of the major publishers looked at the unedited manuscript and said "We aren't doing memoirs." Which I thought was funny. Really? I show how life doesn't end, and that's the take away? So I cut out a number of chapters from Flipside that were about me - and my journey to this material, which found their way into the sequels "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" (book one and two). I don't agree that hearing what my journey was to the material makes it a memoir - even though I've led an unusual life. It allows for context in that, "this fellow is writing about stuff that happens to everyone, and he was in this unique position to film it." So take it or leave it, the books are not about me - but show how any reasonable person on the same trip would come up with the same conclusions.

What do your fans mean to you?

My first Amazon review was something like "This book isn't as good as Michael Newton's work in this field." And I thought "Well, that's the end of that. Big waste of a year of my life." But then I filmed myself giving a book talk, and that led to me being invited to Virginia Beach to speak about the book. And someone in the audience said "You should be on "Coast to Coast" radio to talk about this. And that fellow wrote a letter to the producers of the show and talked them into having me on. At first it was going to be an hour, but after chatting with them, they moved it to three. And I've been on four times now, and four times my books have gone to #1 in their genres. So if I am to learn anything from this - it would be "Just write. The audience that you're writing for can't find you unless you actually get the book into the world, so they can find you." I've had a few people thank me for "saving their life" with this research, which I took to mean they were suffering so immeasurably from a personal tragedy they couldn't move forward. And I always reply "It's not me saving your life, it's you - seeking out this research and allowing it into your consciousness." And I'm not espousing some belief or philosophy - I'm just reporting what people say consistently about the afterlife.

What are you working on next?

Maybe a sequel film to "Flipside." I have lots of hours of footage from my interviews and filmed sessions. I just haven't figured out how to tell it in a cohesive way. It took me a long time to figure out how to turn the research from "Flipside" into a documentary - about 3 years - but eventually realized it didn't have to be slick or polished. It just had to get out there so folks who wanted to see what I was writing about could see it. And the same goes for the Audio books - I've taken some significant flak for reading the books myself - sometimes I start and restart sentences, sometimes my cat meows, sometimes I lip smack... but I'm reading what I wrote. I'm passing along the information as only I can do it. And for those who prefer polished audio books, sorry, that's not happening here. It reminds me of when I recorded a CD for the Nechung Monks in India - we did it live in their monastery. You can hear birds chirp, floor boards creak, and tea being poured. Along with coughing, clearing throats. But you can also hear the intention behind the prayers. So I left in all my squeaks and imperfections - to retain the intention behind the words.
