Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Amelia Earhart, Prince, Jesus and Luana Anders

Hacking The Afterlife podcast

Jennifer and I had the rare opportunity to chat on the phone yesterday, and is mentioned in the podcast. In this one, a familiar voice appears, Amelia Earhart - the first person that I interviewed when I met Jennifer eight years ago.

As detailed in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE Jennifer reached out to me and I knew nothing about mediumship or what being an intuitive meant. However I did know what "helping authorities find missing persons" meant - which is what Jennifer does with law enforcement daily.

So I asked if she wanted to help me find the "most famous missing person." I didn't say who it was going to be - showed up at her office with my camera equipment, turned it on, and had a mind bending conversation with someone who I'd spent 30 years researching.

I had just come back from Saipan where she was reportedly incarcerated, stood in her cell, visited the runway where they found her plane, interviewed 15 new individuals who saw her or saw her plane on Saipan from 1937 on. She's shown up a number of times before, including at the end of last week's podcast. (And in the midst of our telephone conversation yesterday.)

"She's showing up" - I had just spoken about her with a fellow researcher. In the podcast, she's referring to multiple projects I have - a documentary, a series, a feature film - and now she's telling me to write a book.

"To not limit my telling her story." So, we'll see how that goes. Meanwhile, I'm told that she's in the mix.

Then Prince showed up to weigh in on opening oneself up to speak with people directly, as well as Amelia showing an image of Jesus - how he represented unconditional love, and when we think of other human beings, try to incorporate that into one's awareness.

To be clear - and I repeat it - he's not saying FOLLOW ME or "Christianity is the answer" - although Christians might believe that, in the multiple conversations we've had (via different mediums and with Jennifer multiple times) He says the same things. "All religions point to the same garden." "We are all just walking each other home."

I felt the need to get him to repeat that - because if one is an atheist, a skeptic, a Buddhist, a Hindu - the content of what he's saying does not change.

Believe in the concept that we are all connected, all like lights, try to refrain as best one can from judging other beings, and allowing that we are all on the path at the same time for a reason. Love unconditionally - and LOVE LOVE.

It's mind bendingly simple, and yet infinitely complex.
