Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death

This week I'm talking to JM DeBord about his book ''The Science of the Paranormal: The Truth Behind Telepathy, ESP, Reincarnation, and More Mysterious Phenomena'.

Discover the truth behind ESP, paranormal powers, and psychic abilities—the perfect gift for curious minds and bold scientists alike.

Some paranormal phenomena and powers of the mind are real, but mainstream science dismisses it all as fantasy. The Science of the Paranormal looks toward the overwhelming evidence that something weird and wild lies behind our everyday reality. Credible witnesses have seen paranormal activity with their own eyes. Scientists have studied it in their labs. And everyday we see depictions of it in popular media like Stranger Things and X-Men. Separate fact from fiction in this book and get answers to questions like:

Can objects be moved with psychokinesis?

Is the future foreseeable?

Can we communicate telepathically?

What does science say about ESP?

Where is the evidence for reincarnation and spirits?

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.

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.

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."

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.
