Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Robert Thurman, Michael Newton, Robert Towne

Another mind bending podcast.

Jennifer said Robert Towne, Luana's pal had stopped by to admire the "puppy paw" necklace she had on (that she forgot she was wearing.)

Then Robert Thurman came through. He came to talk about a celebration ("birthday party") someone was having with his wife Nena.  I said I had just received a link to a celebration in his honor. "A Bob Thurman Celebration" at the WoodstockAwakening.org website.

It included many of his friends and wife - and he wanted to say that he thought it was wonderful. (I hadn't viewed it yet, but did so after the podcast. Mind bending).

But then I told him how I'd done a guided meditation with someone who saw a Tibetan Lama on her council - I recognized the name of the Lama, and asked that Lama if "he'd seen Thurman."

The Lama said "No" - but I said, "Would you like to?" And then said "I don't know how you communicate over there, but I know that saying his name, you'll know his frequency."

The woman said "He's here - standing in a library holding some books." (She wasn't aware that Bob was an author - and it was after the session, we were talking about his translation of "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" - and in that moment, realized it was his book, his translation!

But she said "He's saying that you need to find some hidden texts, Richard."

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, "hidden books" are those that have yet to be translated.

So I asked Jennifer to ask him "what's the subject matter of the book?"

She said "Jesus and Buddha."

I could have fallen off my chair. Some years ago, when Bob and I were in Hemis, Kashmir, the abbot of the monastery said that his monastery is where Jesus studied Buddhism - and is where the "Kanjur of Hemis" existed.
