Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Rich Martini talking to trees and Saint ANTONINUS

from Hacking The Afterlife podcast · host richardmartini

Another one of these mind bending podcasts. In this one, Jennifer and I begin to speak to Luana Anders offstage about how to communicate with loved ones, and the importance of daily meditation.  At some point we talk about how we can communicate with trees, animals, other beings we share the planet with. When asked what Luana Anders, our guide on the Flipside wanted to discuss, she pointed Jennifer's attention to me - and a Monk in a chair. Luana said it was about me being that Monk. For fans of the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, there's a transcript of the past life regression where I recalled being a Dominican monk in Florence.  His name was Antoninus Pierozzi.  What makes this conversation so unreal is that I was just reading the book by Marcello Simonetta about the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence - something that I wrote about for HBO, and years later learned that I could recall a lifetime in that city when all the events took place. I had just mentioned this to Simonetta, when we did the podcast. Jennifer did not know about the book or about my email to him - but Luana clearly does. And she mentions it.  And I talked about it - again the transcript is in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE. The chapter is called THE SAINT. Just another day at the office. Hope this helps someone!
