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.

Wisdom from Beyond the Veil
This week I am talking to Annie Mattingley about her book ‘The After Death Chronicles: True Stories of Comfort, Guidance, and Wisdom from Beyond the Veil’. This is a book about ordinary people--plumbers, artists and accountants, bakers and beauticians, teachers and lawyers--who have been able to receive communication from loved ones who have died. Included here are accounts from over 80 people across the country who have had contact with the dead through the diaphanous veil that separates them from the living. The book begins with the story of Annie's deceased daughter speaking to her in the early morning hours. The communication was so transformative that she began to share her experience. Much to her surprise, she discovered that after-death communication is much more common than is normally assumed, and she began to connect with other folks across the country who had similar experiences. Each of the ten chapters is organized around a specific kind of after-death communication. Included here are chapters on dreams, verbatim conversations, and synchronicity through nature and various other physical manifestations, descriptions of the results of these occurrences, and advice on how to open up to after-death communication. This book inspires in the reader reassurance, courage, healing, and a sense of wonder. From the author: "The time is ripe for people to recognize the blessing of how frequently our dead beloveds return . . . to confirm the reality that consciousness continues beyond the grave and to remind us that there is much more to death than the physical cessation of breath and pulse. It is time to break the silence, time to stop keeping these powerful healing experiences to ourselves. It is time to allow the experiences themselves, and the positive effect they have on the living." https://www.amazon.com/ebook/dp/B075837PY5 https://anniemattingley.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

UFO Sightings
This week I am reading from my book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1' For decades, people around the world have reported encounters that defy explanation, missing time, strange craft, non-human beings, and memories that surface under hypnosis. These accounts are evidence of a hidden reality unfolding around us. In Aspects of Alien Abduction: Shocking UFO Encounters – Volume 1, podcaster and hypnotherapist Simon Bown examines the phenomenon through the voices of those who claim to have experienced it firsthand. Drawing on years of research where the author interviewed each person at length, this book explores the recurring elements that appear again and again in abduction accounts: mysterious visitors, medical examinations, telepathic communication, hybrid programs, and encounters that challenge our understanding of consciousness itself. Rather than sensationalism, Simon Bown focuses on patterns, what experiencers consistently report, how their stories intersect, and what these similarities might reveal about the nature of the phenomenon. Disturbing, fascinating, and deeply thought-provoking, Aspects of Alien Abduction invites readers to examine one of the most controversial mysteries of our time. The implications for humanity are profound.

Interplanetary Past Lives
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. Bio Dr. Linda Backman, licensed psychologist and regression therapist, has been in private practice for 47 years. Since 1993, Dr. Backman has guided innumerable individuals in regression hypnotherapy to access their past and between lives/higher self. In this way, she assists people to more fully recognize their Soul Essence Psychology, combining our current life experiences with who we are as a soul throughout our many lifetimes and as an immortal soul. Regression hypnotherapy allows the client to understand their Soul Design of past lives, soul origin, soul and life mission, soul progress, soul relationships, and more. Dr. Backman’s work, includes guiding soul regressions, speaking and writing, as well as training others in soul regression hypnotherapy both in the US and abroad. Dr. Backman has a profound commitment to deepening and heightening individual spiritual progress, as well as fostering a more universal understanding and awareness of the path of soul development, leading to greater wisdom and acceptance among all people and cultures worldwide. Linda studied and co-taught with Dr. Michael Newton, author of the seminal books on Life Between Lives regression therapy, and was a co-creative, founding member of the Society for Spiritual Regression Board (now The Newton Institute). In 1997, Dr. Backman and her husband, Dr. Earl Backman, established The Ravenheart Center (www.RavenHeartCenter.com), a Mystery School in Boulder, Colorado, dedicated to guiding individuals to discover their soul path. Dr. Backman is the author of Bringing Your Soul to Light: Healing Through Past Lives and the Time Between, published by Llewellyn Worldwide (2009); The Evolving Soul: Spiritual Healing Through Past Life Exploration (Llewellyn 2014); Souls on Earth: Exploring Interplanetary Past Lives (Llewellyn 2018); Soul Design: A Regressionist's Guide to Past Lives, Origins, and Purpose (Llewellyn 2025); and a frequent guest on numerous programs, such as Coast to Coast, Gaia TV, James Van Praagh and others.

Shared Death Experiences
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. Bio Tony Ærcyus Christie is a Messenger of Oneness, mystic, and spiritual teacher. He brings messages and teachings of oneness through his healing and teaching work. He left his senior management job in the Irish public service to follow his heart in the area of energy healing and sharing new information and energies that he is accessing on higher dimensions. He is founder of a new healing modality based on the labyrinth called Melchizedek Labyrinth Healing. He accesses high-vibrational energetic devices known as Golden Sphere Energetics to share with humanity. Tony is the author of the books Labyrinth: Your Path to Self Discovery and The Book of Nothing and Everything, and the creator of the Labyrinth Wisdom Cards. Tony presents workshops all over the world. He speaks at events and conferences with a view to inspiring and uplifting those present. Tony is a lifetime member of the Labyrinth Society, a qualified reflexologist, a Reiki Master, Advanced PSYCH-K facilitator, Certified Space Clearing practitioner, and a practitioner of Kriya Yoga. https://www.amazon.com/Death-Gotta-Choosing-Greatest-Transition/dp/1917704445 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Afterlife and an Out-of-Body Explorer
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. https://www.amazon.com/Afterlife-Beyond-Examination-Out-Body-ebook/dp/B07FRKJ78R https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
