Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Liz Taylor, Carlos, Wayne Dyer, Jim Henson, Robert Towne

Jennifer is in NYC, but we were able to find a way to do our podcast from both coasts.  In this one, we begin by welcoming the folks from Alex Ferrari's podcast "Next Level Soul" who found us after listening to my recent podcast on Alex's channel.

Jennifer talks a little about her work, her journey to the work, and how she works with law enforcement pro bono on a daily basis.  (I have met some of the folks she works with, and in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE one of them did a guided meditation with me.)

Then we discuss a few of the guided meditations I've done recently, including one where a person saw Jim Henson in a vivid dream, so during her meditation, we asked him to come forward and answer a couple of questions about his journey. He talked about being connected to his family, and mentioned his daughter and son who have carried on his work.

He also spoke of how people can access loved ones offstage if they need to. Then I asked some questions about a recent unusual event - son and wife were walking in the park playing "20 questions" (where you think of an object or phrase or person, and the other person has 20 tries to guess it). And as they were walking past a slightly schizophrenic (not sure if he was or wasn't, but he had no filter when he spoke) fellow on the part bench, said aloud the phrase he was thinking of. "In and Out Burger animal style."  (Which only people in LA know what that means).  Jennifer said that the fellow wasn't an intuitive per se, but that it was Robin Williams who popped that answer into his head.

Which is mind bending, since Robin played the Fisher King so well in the feature film where he played one of those savants. As noted, Robin does show up often in people's sessions, and lately I've heard his name quite a bit.

Which led to a question about an event in a library where a friend picked up a book and heard someone tell them that was the "same book they had checked out of the library many times."  And a closer look at the left over page where they used to stamp the data of each checkout, showed that the time stamp of the date (about 16 weeks in 1967) corresponded when this person "Carlos" was reported to be researching in this very library.

At some point Jennifer "guessed" the name of the fellow, and before she could say that name, I said "That's correct" realizing she'd guessed it (without hearing it.) We did talk about this fellow for a bit - but I was recounting recent articles, and not asking him directly about the accuracy of those articles, so I decided to leave it just at the name "Carlos."  (Could be Santana, could be the Jackal, could be someone else entirely.)

I'm not trying to be cagey, I just want to point out - anyone can do this, do the same thing. Jennifer saw Wayne Dyer show up - someone she met, revered, and confirmed who this person was, and then my old boss Robert Towne stopped by, and because he was the most poetic person I have known - asked him to talk about his experience on the flipside.

I said something like "Well you probably don't miss much on the flipside" because people report we can create anything. And he corrected me, and then spoke eloquently about all the different things that are difficult to create on the other side that we choose to incarnate to experience. (Sea air with salt, the touch of a cheek, a hug, some spectacular sunsets) - he says that "all those colors are there, but it's different to experience them on the planet."

It's about as poetic as one can be on a podcast.

Enjoy, and please be kind to someone today who needs it.
