Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Prince, Beethoven, Ma Durga & Five

from Hacking The Afterlife podcast · host richardmartini

You just never know who's going to show up to this podcast. In today's adventure Prince shows up to talk about the hierarchy of the afterlife. Prince talks about how people onstage have a belief in hierarchy - which includes fame, wealth, power, etc... and how offstage there is no hierarchy. However, offstage people respect people's "age" or how many lifetimes they've had, and the wisdom they carry. I asked some questions about who greeted Prince on the flipside, and he said it was Beethoven. I asked him to describe that process, and he said he saw him, then was sitting next to him - and he was "playing a song in a minor key" which I assumed might be the Moonlight Sonata (In C#minor) Prince said that was the case.  Then Jennifer's father Jim stopped by with two teachers from the flipside - one is Ma Durga who while being known on the planet as an 8 armed deity (some religious folks consider her to be 10 armed, but every time we've spoken to her it's been 8.  She said that she had incarnated once as an octopus, also as a girl on Earth - and liked being able to use her many arms for teaching purposes. (That's what was reported.)  Five self identifies as the head Akashic librarian - and for fans of the books, know that Five shows up often in the text as well as on the podcast. The questions and answers all revolved around the aspect of examining consciousness in the afterlife, and also the idea that AI is something that uses libraries the same way that we do when we're offstage. Like I say, mind bending information. To book a session with Jennifer or get a ticket for her "Uncorked Wine Shop" sessions, check their website in Manhattan Beach, EventBrite.com or see if Jennifer has listed it at JenniferShaffer.com People who want to do a guided meditation with yours truly, go to RichardMartini.com to make a booking.
