Episode 72: Shared Death Experiences & The Afterlife with Paul Perry and Raymond Moody
November 3rd, 2023 | Season 4 | 1 hr 8 mins
history, metaphysics, philosophy, religion, spirituality
Is it possible for people to share a loved one's experience of dying? Co-authors Paul Perry and Raymond Moody ("Life After Life") believe so, based on extensive research into the subject, distilled into their new book PROOF OF LIFE AFTER LIFE: 7 REASONS TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE. They joined me to discuss their multiple decades of research into near-death experiences (NDEs) and various other aspects of afterlife research, going back to the godfather himself, Plato, and his PHAEDO. Both Paul and Raymond have had NDEs themselves, so they know from experience, not just book learning. We also discuss: Raymond's psychomanteum experiments, the lack of humour (and insight) shared by fundamentalists towards afterlife research, why the NDE may be the root of religion (dating back to ancient Egypt), why "skeptics" of the NDE are really pseudoskeptics, why no one eats their food at dinner parties with Raymond, other "paranormal" experiences relating to death, insights of Parmenides, crystal ball gazing, the origins and nature of truth, David Hume's thoughts on new faculties of mind, the ongoing evolution of consciousness, the need for a new logic to grapple with the afterlife, Queen Elizabeth's scryer John Dee (and the connection to 007), and much more.

Episode 36: What is IT? New Perspective on the Collective Unconscious, God, Angels & Demons with Nick Sambrook
July 9th, 2021 | Season 2 | 1 hr 45 mins
conspiracy, media, metaphysics, religion, spirituality
What do you do when you suddenly find yourself living out storylines written by authors such as Philip K. Dick - even down to your very name? Or when you discover that your own ideas are being picked up by the collective human unconscious and acted out in real life? How would you feel if you found yourself shoved into a real life "hero's journey" being orchestrated by the mind of a child? Nick Sambrook joins me to discuss his extensive research and experience with the bizarre behaviour of the human "hive mind" and unbelievable synchronicities that have intruded on his life over many years. His "post-Jungian" perspective unifies and simplifies many seemingly disparate phenomena, taking a refreshing new "meta-level" perspective that affords a higher level of clarity on our ever-evolving concepts such as god, UFO contact, angels and demons, ancient aliens, and visionary experiences. We break down the nature of the collective human unconscious, how it operates, how it manifests to different people at different times, and much more. If you're familiar with synchronicity, simultaneous invention, or other "paranormal" phenomena, you'll love this. Somewhere Jung is smiling and nodding.

Episode 30: Astonishing Near-Death Experiences: Previews of the Afterlife - Part 3 of Afterlife Series
April 2nd, 2021 | Season 2 | 39 mins 39 secs
afterlife, brendan murphy, consciousness, grand illusion, metaphysics, religion
Survival? Annihilation? Humans have wondered for millennia what happens to the conscious part of us when the physical body dies. Our materialistic "scientific" paradigm has failed us in this regard, and orthodox religious structures have lost much of their explanatory power in our technological age. Fortunately in the information age we have access to astonishing spiritual experiences from all around the world - near-death experiences that speak powerfully to the survival of consciousness. Some of them are so powerful they have to be avoided by minds not ready to grapple with them. Following on from looking at the out-of-body phenomenon, Episode 30 leads us deeper down the post-mortem rabbit hole and into some very reassuring - if eye-opening - territory. The afterlife may be much closer than we think.

Episode 29: Adventures in the Astral: Insight into the Out-of-Body Experience - Part 2 of the Afterlife Series
March 26th, 2021 | Season 2 | 34 mins 34 secs
consciousness, metaphysics, religion, spirituality
Is there a "spiritual body" as well as a physical body, as Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthians? People in the pre-Christian world seemed to think so - the doctrine is ancient. What about the modern world? Can you travel astrally and project a "spiritual body" away from your physical, and if you did, might someone else be able to see it? What does the modern evidence tell us about astral projection, aka out-of-body experiences? Seeking answers to this question has yielded some truly astonishing material, as you're about to find out. Get ready for a fascinating ride in what occultists call the astral plane, a virtual world simulacrum of our familiar earth environment, known not only to occultists but also government-paid spies called "remote viewers" (aka the Psi Spies). Applying the standards of logic and evidence to "religious matters" can be a most enlightening experience!

Episode 26: Gnostic Myth in Stranger Things: Symbolism of the Mind Flayer and Eleven
February 25th, 2021 | Season 2 | 18 mins 16 secs
brendan d murphy, gnostic, gnosticism, metaphysics, mythology, podcast, religion, spirituality
Netflix show Stranger Things has proved enormously resonant with viewers worldwide, but why so much so? Beloved characters like Eleven, Mike and Will (the “Wizard”) stand defiantly between an encroaching darkness dubbed the Mind Flayer and human civilisation as we know it. The malevolent dark being seeks global domination and destruction—total conquest and annihilation of humanity, but innocent little Eleven and her friends prove to be stubbornly pesky obstacles. What do Eleven and the Mind Flayer represent—is there an ancient Gnostic theme to be uncovered here in 1980s Hawkins’ secret war?
