Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

This week I'm talking to Brendan Murphy about his book 'Reverse Engineering the Afterlife'

Thousands of near-death experience accounts have been documented across five decades of clinical research. Esoteric traditions have described post-mortem states for millennia. Depth psychology mapped archetypal transition imagery throughout the twentieth century. None of these bodies of work talk to each other.

The result is a field fragmented by disciplinary silos, ideological commitments, and the assumption that symbolic content is equivalent to literal description. Materialists dismiss the data. Religionists literalise the imagery. New Age frameworks conflate symbol with destination.

Reverse Engineering the Afterlife operates at the structural level, extracts the cross-tradition pattern, and builds a named explanatory model— the Consciousness Transition Model—that accounts for the data without requiring faith in any tradition's myth-language.

Bio

Brendan D. Murphy is an independent consciousness researcher and author working at the fault line between empirical science and the world's esoteric traditions—testing both against evidence rather than taking either on faith. His new book, Reverse Engineering the Afterlife (2026), introduces the Consciousness Transition Model (CTM)—a structured, cross-disciplinary framework for understanding what consciousness encounters during and after death. Built from over two decades of research across near-death studies, reincarnation data, systems thinking, depth psychology, and esoteric philosophy, the CTM is not a belief system, but an operational map. His first book, The Grand Illusion: A Synthesis of Science and Spirituality (2012)—drawing from quantum physics, consciousness research, psi phenomena, and comparative philosophy—established him as one of the most thorough independent researchers in the field.

In this remastered episode I am talking to Dr. Linda Backman about her book 'Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives'.

In this "groundbreaking" book, a past-life regression therapist "offers credible evidence of evolved interplanetary souls incarnate in human bodies" (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind).

In her work as a regression hypnotherapist, Dr. Linda Backman frequently meets with individuals who have had past lives on planets and realms beyond Earth. These individuals—called interplanetary souls—have agreed to come to Earth to help support the evolution of the planet as well as to develop themselves and learn lessons for spiritual advancement.

In Souls on Earth, Dr. Backman shares her fascinating work with interplanetary souls. This book explores the characteristics of interplanetary souls so that if you are one, you will be able to understand more about your life purpose and cope with the special challenges that come with an incarnation on Earth. Learn how to identify IP souls and discover how they can assist humanity's evolution. Explore ways to support yourself or loved ones who may be IP souls. For many people struggling with difficult lessons or trying to find meaning, this book opens the door to new understandings and the potential for peace.

This week I am reading from Tony Christie's book 'Death — You Gotta Love It: Choosing Love over Fear in Life’s Greatest Transition'.

Based on three main premises, Death - You Gotta Love It takes you beyond the fear of death and into a vibrantly fulfilling life. First, there are only two ways of being: in fear or in love. Second, humanity’s greatest fear is of death. And third, when you choose to love death, you choose a way of life that cultivates love for all life, and a greater sense of peace and joy. Departing from traditional reactions such as anger, denial, fear, grief, and loss, Death - You Gotta Love It brings a new approach to death, one that is both exciting and invigorating.

A more radical, proactive approach, whereby the reader takes ownership of their own mortality and, in so doing, frees oneself from negative thinking and emotions about their pending death. A vital element in humanity’s evolution and advancement, Death - You Gotta Love It is part of a great shift into higher consciousness, moving you from fear to love and taking you on a journey of exploration so that, when your time comes, you’ll be well prepared and ready for - perhaps even looking forward with excitement to - the adventure of death.

This week I'm talking to Cyrus Kirkpatrick about his book 'The Afterlife and Beyond: An Examination of Life After Death by an Out-of-Body Explorer'.

If the afterlife is real, what does that mean for our lives? For society? In a second feature book by afterlife and supernatural writer Cyrus Kirkpatrick, these questions are poised as the consequences of an afterlife are explored in relation to subjects from cryogenics to artificial intelligence and the origins of life. In addition, objective evidence for the afterlife is scrutinized, with detailed out-of-body experiences and trips through other realms reported, including helpful information about how we can connect ourselves to other dimensions and reunite with loved ones.

Bio

Cyrus Kirkpatrick released Understanding Life After Death in 2015 followed by The Afterlife and Beyond in 2018. Both of these books investigated realities of the Spiritualism movement, scientific investigations into survival of consciousness. During this time, Cyrus has appeared as a speaker for the Afterlife Research Education Institute, and numerous media appearances. This also included the founding of the Afterlife Topics and Metaphysics YouTube and Facebook communities.

Cyrus’s focus shifted primarily into direct, clairaudient communications with “worlds beyond Earth”, including verifiable or cross corresponding telepathic sessions that relate to often “grand sagas” that exist beyond our one planet, and how many subjects link together, including life after death often misidentified as a spirit world but is actually a higher reality, magical cosmos that is both physical and endlessly ancient.

This discovery led to the forthcoming release of the book The Cosmic Shift of Mankind which documents many communications with important characters from Nikola Tesla to forces of the higher multiverse continuously spreading a message about a ‘5th density or ‘5d Shift’ that will bring Planet Earth into the realities beyond our own. That includes entire worlds which we would deem as our afterlife realities that are ‘extraordinary’ versions of our planet and culture.
