Ho ho ho! Well, we've made it to the end of another year. Jennifer talks a bit about the lessons learned in his one, and the ones that seem to be on the horizon. We revisit a tidbit from last week's podcast when Amelia Earhart suggested I might take a trip to ChatGPT with regard to the book I'm working on - and I realized when I listened afterwards, she may have been referring to a search I had done a few days before.

Turns out that indeed was the case, when I asked ChatGPT to identify the mysterious woman whom Amelia was in love with, who was part of the marriage with George Putnam, who was in bed with Amelia and George when Dorothy Putnam walked in on the three of them.

This has been something I had searched and researched since 2008 when I first heard it from Pattie Canova, a medium in NYC, then via Jamie Butler, a medium working with Channeling Erik, then via Jennifer Shaffer during our marathon interviews with Amelia when we met ten years ago.

Now I have a name to go with the story. I am thrilled to learn it. Then Junior Seau showed up to say hello - we've interviewed him before about how CTE has been cured by Joe Namath using oxygen therapy.

Then my old pal Bill Paxton showed up to say hello, tease Jennifer because she always forgets her name, and when I asked him who he was surprised to see on the flipside, he mentioned Carl Weathers - whom I spent a year writing a screenplay with.

Carl was also a sweetheart, a wonderful friend like Bill is and was - and knowing the two of them hanging out means all that many more laughs in the universe.

Another thrilling thing to hear.

So with all these thrills, sending everyone a happy holidays, Happy Hanukkah, a safe and hilarious New Year's and we'll catch you on the flipside of 2024!

As always, a special thanks to Jennifer and to Luana for making this podcast possible. It's mind bending, but it has been since we began ten years ago!!!

Happy Holidaze everyone! Here’s our Christmas 2024 podcast, Jennifer talks about a “life changing” experience doing a workshop with Dr. Joe Dispenza recently. She recounts a powerful meditation that included a past life memory that included a lifetime during the Holocaust. For fans of the Flipside research, this is the third time someone I know has had an experience recalling a lifetime that ended during the Holocaust.

It’s a controversial subject to be sure, but to it’s not reported lightly. As note, in the book and film Flipside, there’s a woman who recalled dying in Auschwitz, and then some years later a friend of mine did a session where he recalled being in Dachau – a very successful TV producer who when accessing this past life memory said “I’d had so many lifetimes in the light, I wanted to remember what it was like experiencing the dark.” (that’s the “River of Souls” reference, a chapter in the book “Flipside.”)

In this episode, Jennifer recalls how recalling this experience did some healing for her voice – literally and figuratively. And in terms of Jennifer’s experience, this memory was part of the healing that she went through. “Her voice needed to be heard.”

We have a number of friends stop by to weigh in or say hello – my old boss Robert Towne who met Jennifer a few years ago and did a number of sessions with her where he accessed his old friend Eddie Taylor and his dog Hira. Also a visit from Amelia Earhart – and something I missed when we did the session, but heard in the edit.

That is; she mentioned “using ChatGPT” in terms of exploring her story… and I forgot that I had done that for a specific reason. I will address this in a future session – where I asked ChatGPT a question about Amelia that I didn’t know the answer to – despite years of exploration – and there was an answer that was very intriguing. So next podcast, I will revisit that conversation.

That’s the fun part of this exploration – since we do it every week (for the past ten years) I can bring something up next week that was said in this previous podcast. I hope I remember it!

So this holiday season it’s important to remember that those folks who are offstage are available to us. When celebrating try to toast them in present tense.

Amelia says something about an Anniversary. Indeed, it’s been ten years since we first starting having these conversations. Mind bending to be sure.

Our loved ones are not far away. Take the time to open oneself up to the possibility they still exist.

And her daughter’s surgery went great, and she reports everything is “just fine.”

As Luana puts it “Know that your loved one is already healed before they go in.”

“Everyone can access their loved ones offstage, wake up, believe it’s possible, it’s simple.”

Yay! It's been ten years - we are counting from when we met ten years ago after Thanksgiving, when Jennifer listed to the Audible book IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE while she was doing the dishes.

She reached out to me on Facebook, we became pals, talked on the phone. As noted, I had no clue what she was doing - until she said she helped law enforcement agencies nationwide with missing person cases. I realized I'd been working on one such case for decades.

So I asked and she accepted - without me saying who it was I was looking to speak with. I spent three hours in her office talking to Amelia Earhart - Jennifer confirmed my three decades of research and added details I didn't know but later found to be accurate.

We've been doing this on and off for ten years. There are four books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 and 3, TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE - and 100s of podcasts. The pandemic allowed us to find a way to put these videos online.

If someone wants to communicate with their loved ones, they can. Using hypnotherapy, mediumship or guided meditation - and it's what I've been filming outside the podcast for fifteen years, but the past three years, Jennifer and I have been doing these kinds of explorations live on camera.

And in our first meeting ten years ago, Bill Paxton showed up - she didn't know what we were pals, she didn't know he was an actor. She said "Your friend is here, his name is Bill." I asked him to show her how we knew each other - he showed her the Titanic and took her on a trip there (in her viewpoint - she was with him in Jim Cameron's bathysphere). It's in the documentary HACKING THE AFTERLIFE.

Jennifer works with law enforcement nationwide, I've interviewed some of the agents who've worked with her. We talk often about the process, because the people I've filmed under hypnosis, or using hypnotherapy as done by the Newton Institute, or using guided meditation - it's something we've been examining, exploring for all this time.

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a conference at UVA medical lab DOPS to share the research about filters on the brain. Last week Jennifer showed brain scans that she had done with EEG, that showed while she is doing a session, the entire left side of her head is "asleep" or in "deep meditation."

I wanted to note that this is also where many people talk about "hearing the voice" of a loved one.. (back and to the left.) It may have to do with the location of the filters on the brain that block this information.

Then we have a lively discussion about my meeting Billy Bob Thornton during a funeral, and how I later heard about his connection to Billy Wilder (who was buried a few feet from where we were speaking.) Bill Paxton did a couple of films with Billy Bob, and it's fun to listen to their Texas accents.

Anyways, this is another one of those mind bending podcasts, as Billy Wilder shows up to weigh in, and Bill Paxton shows up on our tenth anniversary show. I hope he shows up for the 20th anniversary as well!

Knock on wood.

Time is quite different on the Flipside anyways.

Hope this podcast helps someone.

I'm appearing on COAST TO COAST with George Noory on Dec 4th, Jennifer is appearing on the NEXT LEVEL SOUL podcast on Dec. 24th. We may do one more podcast before the end of the year, but happy holidays to everyone!

Thanks for tuning in.
