JFK and the Flipside

 In honor of JFK:

I was in 3rd grade when the nuns in my grade school were weeping. They told us that JFK had been killed in Dallas.

I replied “but if he’s in heaven, isn’t that a good thing?” I was just following their logic — if he was a good person, then clearly he was back home in heaven. So… despite it being a sad day for those who missed him, for him, not so sad.

And here we are decades later with a podcast called HACKING THE AFTERLIFE.

JFK has shown up many times. I asked him all the questions I could think of — including if there was any documents that pointed to what happened. He replied that the book BROTHERS by David Talbot told the story accurately.

Since then RFK has shown up, as well as Nixon and LBJ. All of them said relatively the same things.

I’m reporting.

In honor of his passing, here are three podcasts we did where he showed up to add his two cents.

Each has a link, and each has a commentary about what he and other said during the podcast.

Enjoy.

Another mind bending podcast. As noted, Jennifer Shaffer and I have been doing these weekly meetings for 8 years.  It was not long after John McCain's passing that I was upstairs in my apt. and heard his voice say "I understand you're the guy to get a message to my family." I was startled - I didn't know him, met his chief of staff while researching "Three for the Road" in DC, but had no connection to him.

Yet I could tell it was his voice. I said to him what I say to everyone "I'm not in charge of that - but if you can get on Luana Ander's guest list we're happy to chat with you." He had a private message for his daughter, which I passed along through a radio producer we both know - and I have no idea what she thought of someone claiming to "hear her father."  I know I would be dubious about it. 

But I said I would and I did. And as noted, when RFK's voice showed up one day in my apt - clear as a bell, I was startled to hear it.  Again - I said "Well, if you want to pass a message to your family, you need to speak to Luana." And we did pass a message along to his family, and as noted, that family member thanked me for doing so.  It's not up to us whether people take these messages seriously - however if I can figure out a way to pass along a message I will do so.

In today's podcast, John appeared in a dream I had last night, talking about opening up a "McCain's Pub" or "McCain's joint" - a place where people from both sides of the political spectrum could meet - talk about politics without the fervor. Perhaps do karaoke - maybe a folk singer - and people could listen and perhaps not argue.

Doesn't mean they're going to change their opinions about anything - but it would be more civil. It's not something I've ever thought of - and like Jennifer notes, politics is the last thing we want to stir people up about.  But he pointed this out in the dream - and talked about it on the podcast.

Was surprised to hear JFK and RFK stopped by - as they did not previously.  When we first interviewed Maverick - LBJ stopped by, and later Nixon, then Lincoln, then Mary Todd Lincoln. 

It's all in BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE. I try to ask the same questions to all of them. If they can add some kind of insight into our world, I'm happy to share it.  I do have conservatives in my family tree - and hopefully we survive the upcoming election. But either way - I love the concept of "before you respond, calm yourself, think a peaceful thought before you respond."

This past week I attended the "Contact in the Desert" conference run by Ron Janix ("Captain Ron") in Indian Wells. It was a lot of fun and had a great time hearing Paul Hynek, Matthew James Bailey and others.  I wanted to meet Paul Hynek because when I was in grade school in Northbrook Illinois, my Catholic nun science teacher Sister Delfine (later Sister Anne) got me to do a State Science fair project.

Her friend at Northwestern was roped into being my mentor, and that happened to be the famous J. Allen Hynek, who in 1969 was working on Project Blue Book. (The Air Force book about UFO's.) Later his book about "Close Encounters" was the genesis of the title of the feature film, and he appears on the film as well.  So when Jennifer sees an image of Richard Dreyfus, I knew why.

It's a mind bending podcast - again - as I've been scheduled to appear on Coast to Coast with George Noory next Wednesday 6-14-23 at 10 pm to midnight west coast time.  So Luana Anders (our moderator on the flipside) suggested we talk about that - and Jennifer had no idea I was going to be on the show, and no idea that I had met J. Allen Hynek's son Paul. There is a podcast on the page with J. Allen Hynek - mentioned before - so it's possible we're revisiting information I've already mentioned.

But I didn't know how many kids he had (Jennifer did) and asked him questions that he might have considered on the flipside since departing in the 1980's.  Anyways, then Charles Darwin stopped by - and as noted in the podcast, one of his great grandchildren is one of Jennifer's clients.  I ask him the same questions I ask everyone, and we asked him before about what it was like to find oneself on the flipside. He passed in the 1880's.

Finally, JFK Jr. stopped by - as noted because a friend of Jennifer's is making a documentary, but I took the opportunity to ask him a few simple questions about his journey. For the record, he left the planet with his wife in a plane crash back in 1999. But if someone is going to show up while we're on the air, I ask them the same questions.  Hope this helps someone.

"The Election Edition." Jennifer and I left our "request list" open to anyone who wanted to pop in. From Sargent Shriver, to John McCain ("sweet revenge" was his reply to "what's your opinion of the result?") JFK's response to "Why was the Texas delegation celebrating on the 2nd plane home from Dallas?" is one for the ages. Sargent Shriver had a message for his daughter Maria.

I must report that I was wrong about the number of children he had... there are only 5 children. When he "stood up" at St. Monica's it may have been in reference to children and grandchildren. Jennifer refers "he's telling me there are 9" he mentions - it may be that he has 19 grandchildren. My error. Had only 5 children, but 19 grandchildren. We had no idea who might appear, and I did my best to ask questions I thought others might want to hear (based on the flipside research.)

Their advice (in a nutshell) "Stop looking at each other as red and blue cars - we're all on the same highway." Abe Lincoln weighed in the with the most powerful advice: "Our democracy is worth LOVING FOR." (His words. Not "fighting for" but "loving for." Not something Jennifer made up (and asks him to clarify in the podcast.)

It's mind bending. But the clouds have parted, time to gather up our neighbors and focus on how much we are alike than different. It's wild! Enjoy. Someone transcribed some of the comments during this video (thank you, so I don't have to) and sent them to me with a note today on Quora:

"Don’t fight over things you cannot control. Find the things that you are grateful for. Love the fact that you live in a free country. Over here there is no time. We still feel the pain of lies, betrayal, etc. Our country should have learned and they feel grief and frustration. Answer: pray, meditate, get silent. Put out what you are willing to come back to you. Do you want fear? Do you want hate? Ask for what you should feel; what you can do to raise your own vibration. Practice making contact to become more comfortable. Honest Abe: “(your country) is worth loving for.” Love your neighbor. Loving is the new fighting. Everything will be okay."

The transcriber wrote: "I find this so deeply moving. It moves me to tears. Peace."

Enjoy!

After Death film opening this weekend

AFTER DEATH movie

Saw this film last night. One of those times in your life when you say "Damn, I wish I'd made this film." Then I realize - I did! It's on Amazon! HACKING THE AFTERLIFE!

But no really, these guys did a fantastic job. #AFTERDEATH film

I pointed out to folks that the statistic "23%" is inaccurate - it's 1-3% that NDE's have a "hellish" experience - but that doesn't take away from breath taking accounts. Plus - Angel is putting it out - which means you can get a FREE TICKET by going to the Angel Com website, as well as "pay it forward" to someone who needs to hear that LIFE GOES ON.

That consciousness is not confined to the brain. That there is data, research and footage the demonstrates it. Kudo's to producer Jason Pamer and Stephen Gray a first time director who got their epic documentary into 2700 theaters for opening weekend!!!

Which is HISTORIC in film history.

A must see film (and free if need be!)

The Greatest Story Never Told as told by Jesus and those who knew Him

 A promo for my latest book: THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM. 

 (Don't tell Martin Scorsese as he's promised the Pope to write his own script about the alpha and omega and the details in this story might upset that narrative.) None of this would have happened if David Kirkpatrick hadn't suggested that I take the reports people were saying and put them in chronological order. Thanks to David who wrote the foreword to the book.

https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Greatest-Story-Never-Told-Audiobook/B0C34RJ8PM

Here's the introduction to the AUDIBLE of the book (LINKED ABOVE) set with some photos for context.

https://youtu.be/MmvQ7TaDgA4

This came to me in a dream. As fans of the podcast Hacking the Afterlife have heard in the past, sometimes things show up in dreams as ideas we should pursue. I had this notion that I should do some kind of "clip" about the book THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM. I haven't done much publicity for the book - mainly because it's a controversial topic that people shy away from. Which is understandable. I shied away from it as well, until someone convinced me to put it out into the world. We'll see what people think of this "promo" and I may do them for all of my books, and perhaps add more chapters. Here's five minutes of the 18 minute introduction from the book THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD AS TOLD BY JESUS AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM. Enjoy.

ADDICTION AND THE FLIPSIDE

 

ADDICTION AND THE FLIPSIDE

Richard Martini
3 min read

Addiction and the Flipside.

We did not plan for this episode. But our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders clearly did, and brought a number of people to chat about it.

She said she wanted to discuss the process of addiction.

Elvis came to give his two cents about it. About how wanting to escape from reality comes from the idea that one is unloved, or suffering. Points out that in his life, he didn’t realize that he was causing others to suffer — and yet he now regrets having done so.

Janis Joplin came through to talk about her addictions — and how trying to escape from reality “was an illusion.” She offers that “escaping from the illusion of reality” — meaning becoming aware that one is onstage during their lifetime, creating a reality, and that by trying to escape from the reality they created for themselves, they lose the connections to others.

Then Aretha came through to say “everyone has addiction in their family.” She pointed out some of the smaller ones, like being addicted to soft drinks, or other vices that people have — that’s another form of addiction. And how everyone has a family member that suffers from addiction, so can be more empathetic about it.

Then Junior Seau showed up to talk about how addiction affects the brain in a similar manner to CTE (which he took his own life over). How the “hits to the head” cause the CTE, but the addiction is like taking “hits to the head.” Then he made the statement that the same therapy that cured Joe Namath from his CTE (which he’d come through to tell us before and is in the film TALKING TO PAUL ALLEN, JUNIOR SEAU AND DAVE DUERSON on Youtube for free) — he said that “oxygen therapy for the brain will help with the treatment of addiction.”

That may be a known fact — I don’t know. But it certainly bears looking into. I just hope people remember where they heard it — from Junior Seau on the Flipside.

Finally Anthony Bourdain came through and talked about how his use of heroin as a youngster had robbed him of the ability to experience joy, which contributed to his leaving the planet early. He expresses remorse for that — as noted he’s come through often on our podcast, and is always hilarious- but in this case, he reiterates how meditation can help people to survive being on the planet, but emphatically argues that “rehab” and “detox” are blips on a person’s time line. That they should have no fear of doing so, that they should say “fuck it, I’m going to do this” as well as to love oneself enough to care to fix the problem.

That was his “mic drop moment” which ends the podcast.

Again — no planning was done between Jennifer and I, the comments are so out there, so profound, so beyond any scope of theory or belief that either I or Jennifer could invent, and anyone who is a therapist, or interested in the subject of addiction should take a lesson.

Finally, I asked Anthony to ask someone in our class a question, and the one he asked them is “what’s the one thing that would have stopped you from being caught up in addiction?” and they all answered with the same word.

“Love.”

Mind bending to hear, mind bending to report.

Jennifer can be found at JenniferShaffer.com, the podcast is HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on itunes, the forum is HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on Quora, the website is HackingtheAfterlife.com and the film is on Amazon HACKING THE AFTERLIFE.

It’s an hour long podcast today, but is worth listening to by anyone.
