Spiritual Contact With Jesus? | Ep271 Richard Martini

This week I'm talking to Richard Martini about his book 'The Greatest Story Never Told: As Told by Jesus and Those Who Knew Him'. This book is recorded conversations (on film, via skype, zoom) with people who spontaneously claim to be “seeing” “hearing” or otherwise getting information from someone they identify as Jesus. Some claim to have “seen him before” “never seen him before” or “they don’t believe in him” but are somehow accessing him. People who report being disturbed by him “showing up” burst into tears, can’t breathe, or in some cases are “dumbstruck” (literally can’t speak) by seeing, hearing someone not there - while not under hypnosis or any imaginable consciousness altered reason. But the consistency of content is what drew me to the reports. People who’ve never considered his story, people who had a firm belief in what they thought was his story - reporting (consistently) an “alternate version of events.” People who “used to believe in religion” but no longer do, people who go to church weekly who claim to be startled at hearing something different than they’ve been told (“I always felt this to be the case, but I’ve never heard it before”). His story doesn’t change, but the people who tell it do. That’s why it’s a story that has never been told. I’m a writer/director of theatrical motion pictures. I’ve written and/or directed eight feature films, including “Limit Up” and “You Can’t Hurry Love.” I’ve written 10 “best-selling books” (kindle in their genre) about the research of what people say under hypnosis about the afterlife, and recently books with the help of a medium talking directly to folks I knew no longer on the planet, (“Backstage Pass to the Flipside” 1, 2 and 3 with Jennifer Shaffer). I’ve written miniseries for HBO (“The De Medicis” – unproduced) and other film companies. I’ve written scripts for major film studios (including David Kirkpatrick, our trusty foreword fellow) worked on the feature films of Robert Towne (“Personal Best”) and Phillip Noyce (“Salt.”) It’s not like I’m seeking this line of investigation… it literally fell into my lap. While filming people under hypnosis or not under hypnosis, “seeing” or “hearing” from Jesus started to become more frequent in the footage. At first it was disconcerting. People not under hypnosis saying “I’m seeing Jesus. I don’t know why I’m seeing him because I don’t believe in him!” Eventually I took the leap; “Well, can we ask him a question?” To my chagrin the answers “he gave” weaved a different story of his life. A story that had echoes of “The Life of St. Issa” as well as other tales of his “survival” from the crucifixion. These consistent yet contrary stories challenged my conception of who he was, challenged my ideas of what consciousness might be, and basically challenge my existence in more ways than one. I published a number of those interviews in “Hacking the Afterlife” but recently while writing “Architecture of the Afterlife” I’ve had more people claim he was “showing up.” And the more he showed up, the more stories he told about his path and journey that mirrored the previous ones. And finally, the author, former studio exec David Kirkpatrick suggested “letting him speak.” Needless to say, there’s no way to prove they are his words or it’s him speaking. However, what he says is consistent, what he says is contrary to the mythology of him. Allow me to say that again; every time he shows up, he recounts the same contrary story about his life, which is an alternate version of the “Greatest Story Ever Told.” When asked why he was interested in "telling an alternate version of his life" he's reportedly said on more than one occasion: "It's not alternate if it's true." In this book you’ll hear a linear story about the alpha and omega as told by him and those who reportedly knew him. I've been reluctant to share this story for years; I offer these pages to help people make a DIRECT connection with him. He's not gone; he's just not here. I encourage everyone to ask him on their own. Bio Writer/Director/Author Richard is an award winning filmmaker, who has written and/or directed 9 theatrical features, and a number of documentaries. His first book, "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" went to #1 twice at Amazon in all its genres. The book is based on transcripts of a documentary he made which is available at Amazon (Flipside: A Journey Into the Afterlife) and Gaia TV. His books "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" volumes one and two expands the research into the afterlife from Michael Newton's work, to include interviews with a number of scientists in the field of consciousness, including Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Mario Beauregard, and Gary Schwartz Phd. He also examines near death experiences and compares their accounts to similar ones during between life sessions (the technique used by Michael Newton that allows people to access the between lives realm, or LBLs) and other examples (OBEs) where people may have lost their ability to think normally, but are having the same experiences. In "Hacking the Afterlife" he interviews mediums and explores "interviewing people no longer on the planet." As Gary Schwartz put it after reading "Flipside" “Inspiring, well written and entertaining. The kind of book where once you have read it, you will no longer be able to see the world in the same way again.” Amazon link http://rb.gy/gy5d0 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hacking-the-afterlife-podcast/id1505639009 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWhpYMjfbFfC0STNdWw_udw https://richmartini.blogspot.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death--5220623/support . https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife My book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
