Reviews are in!

Some wonderful reviews for the books.  I've learned quite clearly that the reviews are not about ME, but about the research inside of them.  So I take no bows, break no legs (the Elizabethan version of bowing, one leg behind the other, hence the term "Break a leg") because it's not about my path, or my journey to this material.

It's about your path, your journey to this material. 

I believe sincerely that those who are supposed to see your work will find it.  Of course, you have to actually hit the "publish" key, and you have to talk to folks about the material, and you have to make it accessible to people.  So a sincere "thanks" to those who have taken the time to write reviews of the books, or to share in some small way their experience reading them.

I have a reader in another country who says they can't go to sleep unless they're listening to one of my "book talks."

 

I found that amusing, and just a little bit odd.  But it points to why I'm writing this post - it's not about me.  It's about you.  And in this person's case, they felt that somehow my voice in their ear was "reprogramming" their brain, or helping them to access "higher levels of consciousness."  

I have no idea if that's the case.  But it's clear to me when I'm filming these sessions of people under deep hypnosis, or reporting on near death experiences, and sharing the salient points that are common in all "altered states" - whether speaking to "spirit guides" or consulting with our "elders" or "soul groups" - that I'm helping to facilitate this information to those who need to hear it.

I'm helping to facilitate this information to those who need to hear it.

That may not be you.  That's okay.  That may be someone you know who is suffering from the loss of a loved one, who can't seem to come back to the planet to continue on the path they've chosen.  Perhaps you've found this material so you can pass it along to someone else, or to meditate on it.

I've found a unique phenomenon in the reporting of these "afterlife" accounts.  That when someone has the access to the spirit world, just like those who access the planet Earth from outer space have reported "the overview effect" - people who have visited or been to the spirit realm no longer see the Earth and their path here the same, and further, it's like they've lessened or alleviated the filters that keep them from accessing information back there.

When I ask people direct questions about their travels into the spirit realm, and I take the time to really listen to their account, and tailor the questions to what they saw or heard or experienced - they're able to access the event again in real time. That's amazing.  That's like having a car accident when you're five, and then 50 years later, through a series of questions, while fully conscious, you can access all of the information again.

That's kind of mind boggling.

Anyways, enough about me, how about some reviews of me?  (Old Hollywood joke). 

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO NOT ONLY READ THIS INFORMATION, BUT TO COMMENT ON IT!

Rich Martini has written the perfect follow-up to Dr. Newton's books. Martini's humor and enthusiasm in pursuit of a first-person exploration into the existence and nature of the "afterlife" is spellbinding. If you've never heard of "Past Life Regression" or "Life Between Lives" or if you're a skeptic about reincarnation, by all means get this and read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating for both the seasoned spiritual seeker and the skepticFebruary 16, 2015
I have researched and read about reincarnation for many years including most of the titles that Mr Martini recommends at the end of this book. Thank you for a fresh take on a fascinating subject. Doesn't the author sound like like a wonderful guy to have as a friend? Such sweet remembrances of his friends both living and those who have crossed over. Love to all, Pamela.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a Spiritual Book - Loved Every Bit of It!February 3, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FlipSide: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife (Paperback)
WOW. Just finished Flipside. Such a spiritual book! Loved every bit of it. I'm a licensed therapist and hypnotherapist and I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about life-between-lives hypnosis. What I loved most about Flipside is that Rich Martini is a natural story teller. He includes personal stories about himself and his hollywood pals and their connection to the afterlife. But, best of all -- he shares his own life-between-lives hypnosis sessions. You get to experience the sessions through his eyes and you get a sense of what it might be like to have a session -- to connect with your immortal soul and your reason for being who you are on the planet today. Life-changing. Inspiring. Brave. Thank-you Rich Martini.

Live Long and Prosper

One of the great icons of our world has moved to the Flipside this week.  Actor Leonard Nimoy made his last transporter voyage, has dissolved into the ether, and rejoined his beloved friends and family who've been keeping an eye on him for years.

I imagine he may even run into Gene Roddenberry, who created this iconic character, that at first harangued Nimoy, and later made him come to accept that the role was indeed, bigger than him.
Actress Luana Anders didn't do a Star Trek, but her pal Sally Kellerman did
An amazing account of his journey with this role was posted online the other day.  It's the story of how after the show wrapped, he was not part of any of the profit participation, and when his agent called to ask him to be in the film version, he'd said "If you call me again about being in a Star Trek movie, you're fired."

Pretty harsh words, but prophetic as well.

He tells the story of how the studio chief came to see him and tried his best to talk him into the film, or at least hear out what his complaints were, and at the end of the day a check arrived with profit participation, and he did join the cast.

But then, later, he was thinking of directing one of the films, and the studio thought that was a bad idea, and he thought it was a good one.  He bargained with them - "You need Spock, and I need to direct this movie."  He did direct it, it was so successful they had him direct the next film, and then he went on to direct other films, equally fun and enjoyable ("Three Men and a Baby" etc).

So... from a Flipside perspective, was Nimoy destined to be Spock?  His first autobiography was "I Am Not Spock" and yet his second one was "I Am Spock." 

As noted below Ed Sheeran, upon accepted his award at the Brit Awards, said in effect, "When I was a kid, I dreamt of this moment, and now it's happened."

How often have we heard that phrase?  Quite a bit.  And does anyone stop to examine it?

What does it mean?  "I dreamed something would happen" and it did.  Those who adhere to the idea that the things you wish for come to you, and that would appear to make sense on a surface level - i.e., he spent his whole life thinking about how to achieve his goal and he did... but that's not entirely what's being said here.

"I dreamed it.  And then it happened."  In the world of mediums, psychics, they will adhere to the idea that somehow he presaged what would happen.  But then, if that's the case, imagine all of the work involved to make that dream come true.

Stuart Sharp (mentioned in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife") was a cook at a pub in England, and when his son died, the night before the funeral he had a profound dream about music.  And one of the characters in the dream said "We will help you remember this" or words to that effect, and showed him that he would eventually be conducting the very same music he was hearing in front of an orchestra, that he would write the music and it would be performed live.

Never mind that he was a cook, and had little or no experience writing music.  But he changed his life, became a musician, someone heard him playing the song ON THE GUITAR and asked about it, and he told them.  And within a few years, he actually conducted the symphony he'd written, his memory of that etheric, angelic symphony with the London Philharmonic.

I'm not making this up.  

The same story can be heard often and with detail from other people; Pete Townsend of The Who had music appear in his ear which inspired him to become a musician.  There are many famous composers who claimed they "heard the music" before they composed it.  There are also people who walk and talk and think, including Einstein who used to spend time walking and talking with a colleague, and credits that time with the theory of relativity.

Is it there in the ether?  Or is it there in our destiny?  Or what's happening?

We also have people who adhere to the idea that outside of this realm, i.e, in the Flipside, that there's no time.  That when we visualize what's going to happen in our lifetime, it may be based on an accurate reading of the tea leaves of our lives.  There are numerous accounts (in Near Death Experiences, and between life sessions, as reported in "Flipside" and "It's A Wonderful Afterlife") of people visiting "libraries" in the afterlife. 

I've noted that there are no two accounts that are the same of these "akashic record" libraries.  I use the common term Akashic record, but there aren't any during these sessions that call them that, unless of course they're familiar with the term.  They're just called "libary" where all the records of people's lives reside, and are accessible to examine.

But I've also had in depth discussions with people who claim to be speaking on behalf of the librarian, or guides that are in the library, where they explain that these records are "not set in stone" but that they're "energetic records" of "likely outcomes" or memories of previous lifetimes.  And the reason to visit this place is the same reason we visit any library - to open the books of knowledge and see what we can learn from them.

But back to Mr. Live Long and Prosper.

Posted on Twitter by William Shatner

I'd like to nominate this Gene Roddenberry phrase to replace R.I.P.   "Rest in Peace" comes from the Latin, or Roman term, which means "resting" and in some kind of peaceful way, perhaps to avoid the wrath or anger of those who might not be so happy about being sent to the Flipside.  In some ways it's a plea, or a devout wish that a troubled person can actual "rest peacefully." "Requiēscat in Pāce"

What the research shows (and that's including accounts from Dr. Newton, Dr. Greyson, Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Beauregard, Dr. Wambach and other scientists, psychologists and first person accounts) is that we don't die when our bodies cease functioning.  Rather we find in these accounts that we move into a realm that is "more lifelike" where we experience "unconditional love" and resolution of a number of things.  It may not happen instantly - with violins and harps - it may take some time before we get to a place of peacefullness, but eventually we all get there.

Leonard Nimoy's last message on Twitter included 'LLAP' .. 

  Leonard Nimoy         @TheRealNimoy

"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP"

 
 
So when Leonard Nimoy checked out this past week, he indeed go to a place, a garden, where indeed, he will LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.  
(Oddly enough, a bit like the "Genesis" aspect of the "Star Trek" films)

Because its there that we prosper by reconnecting with our loved ones, we prosper by studying and examining the lessons learned during our lifetime, the love that we've given, the love that we've created, the love we've made, and the love we've left behind.  We continue to LIVE LONG because that is the nature of what spirits do - continuing on their path and journey through each lifetime, but also through learning and teaching while over on the other side.  

It's a full and rich experience,  according to the thousands of cases - and the journey in the Afterlife is an experience that ennobles the human spirit, underlines the path and journey we've all taken and indeed is one that's powerful, resonant, and worth talking about.

Live Long and Prosper.

Flipside in the News... Ed Sheeran Et Al

Just wanted to weigh in on some recent news stories that point to the research in "Flipside" and "It's A Wonderful Afterlife."
(On SALE AT AMAZON)

Let's start with the Brit Awards.  While winning his award, the amazing singer and musician Ed Sheeran said:

"Since I was a little kid I dreamed of people all over the world singing my songs and although I've got a long way to go, this shows that I'm stepping in the right direction." Ed Sheeran

I've asked a number of people "their first conscious thought they'd be doing what they're doing" and often hear of recurring dreams, visions, or "always knew" as if the future lies somewhere under the surface of our reality. 

Not that we're destined, as free will reportedly dictates our path (to accomplish or screw up), but the dreams or visions appear to have little or nothing to do with nature or nurture. Genetics or environment seem to only support the outcome, but its the consciousness of knowing your path that puts one in the "right" direction. (Sheeran quote is buried after Madge's tumble)

I've come across many accounts of people who had profound dreams, recurring dreams or visions of what or who they were to become.  It was also in their behavior in the school yard.  

I asked one FBI agent when she first became conscious of what she might want to do in her life.  She said in preschool, because "I started keeping lists on what people did in school every day. What they wore, what they ate."  (As quoted in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife")

Was she seeing into the future?  Or seeing the path that she'd already chosen for her to be on?  Does it matter?  It does if you're a parent or guardian, and your child says something silly like "When I grow up I'm going to sing music to millions of people."  The answer is, "Cool! Let me get a camera and I want you to say that on camera, because in 20 years, it will be very valuable."

Just like Dave Schultz (the Olympic wrestler, whose story is told in "Foxcatcher") told his father when he was 5 that he "wasn't going to be here very long," but that he had come here to "teach a lesson in love."  (A conversation the father didn't remember until he said it at the eulogy.)  That's a hard pill to swallow - but when you consider the growing mountain of evidence that shows that we don't die - that we are here on stage temporarily, and that those we love have not disappeared, or gone into oblivion, it can be a source of comfort to those who would like to know there is data that backs that up.


Dave Schultz told his dad he wouldn't be here long.
Then, I found this clip, on the anniversary of George Harrison choosing to be on the planet (his birthday), an old friend of mine posted this link to his speaking about death. George says in the clip:

"What happens when you die? That, to me, is the only thing that's of any importance. The rest is just secondary." "If you want to know anything in this life, you just need to knock on the door. Which I found through meditation. It's all within." (At the end a live version of "All Things Must Pass.")  





"What happens when we die, is the most important thing for us to know while we are on the planet."  

Why is that?

Because the answer will inform how you live your life, how you relate to people, how you relate to fear, to stress, to other people behaving badly.  

And finally, a "Near Death Story" with a different outcome:

In the Independent Newspaper in the UK, there's this story about a fellow who "died twice" and both times didn't see or experience anything (consciously) and they use it to report that "nothing happens after we die." No light, no tunnel. Nada. Zip.


Tunnel? Doorway? Different planes of existence? Pixels on a page?  All of the above.

Au contraire.

One person had that experience - an unconscious one - but thousands have had the opposite experience.

We all have different dreams, different experiences of being awake, widely divergent concepts of what being alive is. Or consciousness is. This fella experienced being dead and nothing came to mind. No tunnel of light. Just blankness. 

Never mind thousands have the opposite experience; scientists like Dr. Bruce Greyson at UVA studying cases for decades, Dr. Sam Parnia's published results of the extensive 7 year Aware Study showing consciousness existing outside of dead people, or the 100 cases Mario Beauregard PhD cites in his neuroscience research where people had no blood to the brain for minutes, and yet saw, heard new information from their "out of body" perspective. 


I got pals all over the planet.  These fellas are in Kashmir. Made me a rug.
Some people are actually convinced nothing happens after we die. Sorry to say, it's just not in the data.

Finally, if you want proof of the afterlife, I suggest you watch this clip.  In it, author David Bennett ("Voyage of Purpose") recounts his near death experience where he saw into the future and saw that he would be diagnosed with cancer that would only give him months to live, and then survive it (knowing he would survive it, because he'd already seen that he would). His case has been examined by science: Dr. Greyson at UVA.  I'll let him describe his experience in his own words:



My two cents.

"Flipside" and "It's A Wonderful Afterlife."
