Gaiam TV announces purchase of Richard Martini's documentary film “Flipside: A Journey Into the Afterlife.”

Santa Monica, CA - Gaiam TV has purchased the broadcast rights to acclaimed journalist (Variety/Premiere) and award winning filmmaker (“Cannes Man”) Richard Martini's documentary about the afterlife “Flipside: A Journey Into the Afterlife.”

The 90 minute doc is based on his best-selling book (#1 in its genre at Amazon) “Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife.”  Doc is about the controversial life and work of psychologist Michael Newton (“Journey of Souls”) who claims 7000 of his clients said the same startling things under deep hypnosis about the afterlife during his 30 years of practice prior to publishing in ‘94.  Martini interviewed Newton, began filming sessions with people under deep hypnosis (4-6 hour sessions) including himself. Doc shows no matter whom he chose to film, from whatever walk of life, religious affiliation or none - subjects said the same things about the journey to the afterlife and our reportedly subsequent return with spiritual guidance, which Newton dubs the life “between lives.” Film covers reincarnation and reasons behind it.

The film travels to India, Tibet, features interviews with a number of Newton trained therapists.   Martini appeared a number of times on George Noory's Coast to Coast radio program, and after his appearance on Noory's “Beyond Belief” (reportedly the 2nd highest rated appearance in the history of the show) Gaiam TV bought rights to the documentary.  “I'm thrilled to be associated with Gaiam” said the veteran filmmaker, who has written and/or directed eight theatricals. “This research is controversial, the results controversial, but amazingly the same, no matter whom I've filmed, or from what background, with a variety of Newton trained therapists. If this research turns out to be replicable in a scientific setting, it will literally change the way we view our journeys together on the planet. And I can't think of a better venue than this spiritual network of GaiamTV.” Based in Colorado, Gaiam TV represents a number of new age films (“What the Bleep Do We Know”) which delve into spiritual arenas. Martini is repped by Joel Gotler at IPG in LA.

Flipside: Meat Puppet!

Flipside Dream:

For those who've read "Flipside" now and then I hear things in a dream and look them up later to gain insight. As in the case of hearing "Vanum populatum" in a dream, I discovered its Latin and means "annihilate vanity." (I live in LA, where to begin?). I realized it was closer to the Buddhist meaning of "Destroy the ego" but in terms of vanity - money, fame, botox. I had the definition confirmed during a between life session in Chicago a year later.

But last night I repeatedly heard the term "meat puppet." Never heard the term before (aside from the band). I looked it up: "A person who publishes comments on blogs, wikis and other public venues about some phenomenon or product in order to generate public interest and buzz. Using alias names, meat puppets pretend to have experience with the subject or masquerade as an exceptionally satisfied and unbiased user of the merchandise."

So am I to watch out for one? Or have I become one? Or is it just me chasing a phantom metaphor? But then I mused it was also a pretty derogatory term to use for the nature of our existence and journey on the planet.

As in a "ventriloquist's dummy" - we inhabit bodies the way a hand inhabits a puppet, but one literally made of bone, sinew and fiber. But what an image! And why would I choose that lovely metaphor for our existence on Earth?

Either way it is an apt description of our journey on the planet, if we can set aside the negative connotations of being identified as a "puppet" or "meat." We inhabit this lifetime the way one might inhabit a marionette, we perform an elaborate, clever dance (depending how good we are at it) and at the end of it, we leave the costume behind to turn to dust or ash. No one else is in charge of the play but the players themselves, and they do their best to learn new lessons. But in the end, we live on to play another day.

Again, this research is not based on a philosophy or belief of any kind, it's observations of what thousands have said under deep hypnosis, comparing them to near death experiences and other phenomena of the "Flipside" kind. Stay tuned for the next book, I think I've got a hell of a title.

Flipside GoFundMe Update - I can help you

Flipside Interview: Spoke with an attorney in Colorado today. She said that in ALL the murder cases that she's worked on - and the number is in the 100's - the person who committed the crime (usually vehicular manslaughter, drunk driving, etc) has had some form of visitation from the person they'd killed or caused the death of. She recounted four specific cases where in each instance the victim said to the perpetrator in some kind of dream or visitation, relatively the same things -  variations of "I'm okay. You don't need to suffer. I'm happy where I am" and "I can help you."

The people who'd committed these acts were by and large too freaked out by the visitation to do anything about it. These cases were mainly of the drunk driving, accident variety where a death occurred, sometimes under the influence of drugs, or alcohol. She said her clients weren't able to process that their victim would visit them in this manner.

Perhaps because we don't yet have a common language for these kinds of incidents; they go against everything we know of reality, they counter to our sense of outrage and are basically counter to everything we've ever been told about our lives on the planet. It's startling to hear messages from people in the afterlife in whatever manner; it's a shame we don't yet have the nomenclature or way of sharing this information with mental health professionals who could be of help to the families of the victims.  If you consistently hear from a loved one who has died, doesn't it make sense to let their loved ones know about it?

It could be of solace to the families of those who are suffering, to know that their loved ones still exist, or even to consider for a moment that their loved one has visited the perpetrator to let them know they are are okay. This information is important not only victims, but the families of victims who live with anger or a sense of helplessness from what appear to be random acts. 

As I frequently point out; these reports are not based on belief or philosophy - these are consistent reports from a spectrum of sources; NDE's, Between life hypnotherapy, Past life regressions and now, from the files of an attorney.

If you can, please help me continue this research. ("Flipside" now on sale at Amazon for 99 cents). These are some of the topics I will be exploring in the next version of "Flipside." Thank you.
