Every human faces one certainty.No one has mapped it this rigorously. Until now.
Twenty-three years of cross-tradition, evidence-based investigation into what happens to consciousness at death—and why neither religion nor materialism has given you the full answer.
Most people will spend more time researching a phone than what happens after death. Religious frameworks ask for faith, materialist frameworks deny the data, and New Age frameworks blur everything together. None of them show you the architecture. This is where serious inquiry begins.
Religious writers already “know” the answer. “Sceptics” dismiss the data. Brendan is neither.
Brendan reverse-engineers a stack. He maps structure across traditions, not narrative. The output is a framework you can test, not a belief system that requires faith.
He takes NDE data seriously without treating it as proof. He takes scientific models seriously without mistaking them for ontological truth. The inquiry is genuine—not concluded.
Vedanta, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, depth psychology, consciousness studies, NDE research—synthesised through modern systems metaphors. The blind spots of each tradition become visible only from outside all of them.
The Consciousness
Transition Model
The first structured, cross-tradition map of how consciousness moves through post-mortem states—built from 23 years of research across NDE data, esoteric traditions, depth psychology, and systems thinking. Not a cosmology. A map.
“Murphy knocks it out of the park. The evidence has been swept under the rug, repeatedly, until it has become a towering elephant of unarguable data. He does a brilliant job of throwing back the rug and explaining how and why it all hangs together.”— Eileen McKusick · Author, Tuning the Human Biofield and Electric Health
The Grand Illusion:
A Synthesis of Science
and Spirituality
A rigorous, 600-page synthesis mapping the convergences between consciousness research, quantum biology, NDE data, and the world's esoteric traditions—without doctrine, without reduction.
Reverse Engineering
the Afterlife
The first structured, cross-tradition map of how consciousness moves through post-mortem states—built from 23 years of research across NDE data, esoteric traditions, depth psychology, and systems thinking. Not belief. Not speculation. Architecture.
“A work of absolute genius and an essential reference book for anyone interested in the science of the (para)normal.”
“Stunningly good. One of the best synthesis books on this sort of material I have ever read. Actually, no—it WAS the best.”
“You've written the best synthesis of modern science and esoteric science that I've seen in 40 years...Brilliant!”
“This young man is genius quality. No doubt about it. Skimming was impossible.”
