This excerpt was filmed with the permission of Ron Janix; for the full video and other clips from this amazing event, please visit CONTACTINTHEDESERT.COM - This is a bit long for our podcast, but it includes a guided meditation, so please don't do the guided meditation while driving a car or using heavy equipment.

Basically, filming people accessing this information for over fifteen years, and visiting the University of Virginia Lab DOPS, where they explore how consciousness is not confined to the brain, I've heard from Dr. Greyson about the "filters on the brain" that seem to be bypassed during the near death event. (See pg 125 of his book AFTER) Dr. Helen Wambach also talks about "the filters on the brain" in her book RELIVING PAST LIVES. She also called them "filters that block information not conducive to survival."

Two scientists who talk about the same filters but 50 years apart from different disciplines. There's also a reference to Viola Pettit-Neal, whom I was turned on to by Harvard neuroscientist Akeera Weerasakera PhD. She did some trance sessions where she accessed a classroom on the flipside where they talked about the filters on the brain.

People can bypass them using hypnotherapy, mediumship or guided meditation (also with hallucinogens like DMT, in dreams, during near death events, out of body experiences etc. I recommend using a Newton Institute hypnotherapist, as their four to six hour sessions are like the ones that Dr. Wambach used. (And one can listen to a 2 hour hypnosis session given by Dr. Wambach on this page).

The point is - anyone can bypass their filters. Mediums don't have the same ones that other folks have, some children don't have them until the 8th year, see people others cannot, recall previous lifetimes. Some elderly people lose them prior to passing. According to Dr. Greyson's talk IS CONSCIOUSNESS PRODUCED BY THE BRAIN (also reproduced on this page) refers to the data that 70% of the hospice care workers in the UK report dementia patients who spontaneously recall memories - as Greyson notes "It's as if the filters on the brain are dying with the atrophied brain."

In this talk, courtesy of Contact in the Desert, courtesy of Ron Janix who allowed me to film and share this excerpt, this is a simple method of how to bypass those filters. It includes a guided meditation.

This information is based on fifteen years of filming people accessing the afterlife, accessing their loved ones via hypnotherapy, mediumship and guided meditation. I was happy to see that the event was standing room only - people lined up along the walls to get some insight into this research.

The reason it's at Contact in the Desert is when people use guided meditation to access their guides (as reported in DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND) is because during these simple meditations, sometimes people access beings on their council who have never incarnated on the planet. Further, as noted, in the podcast with Simon Bown (see his podcast #119 ) he accessed a "gray alien" who allowed me to ask him a raft of unusual questions with mind bending answers. (Like: "have you ever donated blood to the Red Cross? The people we visit and extract DNA from are people who offered to donate before they incarnated on the planet.)

I offer this as the kind of research anyone can do - people should see if they get different answers or results from their own experiments... people who do this kind of work can be skeptics, disbelievers, doubters, or religions folks who belief their belief system is sacrosanct. Data needs to be reproducible and consistent to become data.

In fifteen years of filming people accessing this information - it doesn't change, but keeps getting more interesting, deeper, and mind bending. We have a forum at Quora called "Hacking the Afterlife" - it's a place to share data, research or personal experiences with the flipside.

Jennifer is at a family event this week, so I took the opportunity to post this talk. Hopefully we'll be back on the air next week.

Thanks for tuning in. For more info: RichMartini.com - for JenniferShaffer.com - or the podcast MartiniZone.com - also "Hacking the Afterlife" "Talking to Bill Paxton" and FLIPSIDE the film are available on Gaia or via Amazon Prime.

This is an excerpt from our Workshop at Contact in the Desert. For a full edition, please visit ContactInTheDesert.com - and choose the workshop version.

The video for this excerpt can be found at the Hacking the Afterlife page on Youtube - MartiniZone or MartiniProds on Youtube... to see what photos I'm referring to.

Over the course of three days, people gathered near Palm Springs to share research, data, about non human consciousness.

For those familiar with the podcast, Jennifer and I are sitting next to each other onstage and I'm showing some slides from the presentation. Those pictures can be found at the above mentioned page.

What makes this session worth putting onto our podcast, is that in the middle I do a guided meditation for about 20 minutes.

Anyone can follow along, but I recommend not doing a guided meditation while one is driving... who knows where one might go.

Find someplace comfortable to allow images, thoughts, even sounds to appear while doing that kind of meditation. Med means measure in Latin - one is measuring thoughts.

The last portion is Jennifer answering questions from random members of the audience - their names are in a box, and Jennifer answers direct questions to people on the flipside - if it's a question about process, I try to field it.

Either way - it's an insight into how the podcast comes together. For eight years Jennifer and I have been meeting weekly - she says "so and so is here" and I then supply the questions.

For the entire session, about 90 minutes, or for other panels at the conference, please visit the website Contact In The Desert. This excerpt is filmed and used with the permission of Ron Janix who runs the event. Some amazing speakers this time around.

Hope this helps.
