Torn Between Two Worlds: Material and Ethereal
This is the third and final battle. Even with all the knowledge and wisdom we have gained, every day we make choices between the material world and the ethereal world - choices between our ego or our true selves. Underpinning these personal choices are two ethereal destinations that are actively courting us. One of these destinations offers material rewards for its loyalty while the other offers spiritual rewards. This final book will shed light onto the masters of these two destinations and the characteristics of their servants. The ancient Greeks referred to the two sets of servants as Nymphs and Muses. Each Nymph specializing in a different vice, ready to offer material reward for loyalty. Each Muse specializing in one of the virtues and offering wisdom for loyalty.
I will start by looking at the life of Abram and examine how these two masters tried to influence him. By taking what science has uncovered about the life of Abram and what religions teach about he and the lives of his children, we can begin to see the spiritual battle that has raged on earth since the beginning of time. The Archangel Michael was there at the beginning of this battle, and now it is our turn to finish the fight; this is the purpose of life in the material world.
The enlightened Greeks celebrated the emergence of Aphrodite from the Bitter Sea, escaping its ruler Poseidon and starting her journey back to Olympus. The cover also shows how they depicted Hercules, disguised in a lion skin, the symbol for the ruler of this world and of the Bitter Sea.

'The supernatural is only the natural not yet understood.'
A brief understanding of the supernatural world through the eyes of a scientist is what Mr Murphy is trying to accomplish in the third and possibly most interesting of the three books 'Torn between two worlds'.
He covers the work of Dr Wickland, Ian Stevenson and other many renowned psychiatrist who have tried to take the understanding of the human brain into the ethereal.
He explains, in a very unique way some excerpts from the bible who point to the theory of reincarnation and highlights the work of Johannes Greber as his turning point from science to religion.
A lot of symbolism and hidden meanings revealed make the book an exceptional read.
Pagan gods, Christianity, science, everything is related and it takes an open mind to link it all.
A highly recommended read.

For the close of his trilogy, the author correlates Revelations and Genesis to scientific possibilities as well as others of the world’s religions. He explores reincarnation as a striving towards nirvana but also a possible explanation for the ages of the earliest men such as Methuselah - their days just weren’t consecutive. He looks into demonic possession, and heavenly intervention as with Joan of Arc. His quote for the intro to November comes from Rare Earth and especially spoke to me because I’d seen a planetarium show the day before on just how special all things came together for life on Earth. Fundamentalists will hate him, atheists will deride him. I find Shawn Murphy intellectually stimulating.
