The Grand Illusion: A Synthesis of Science and Spirituality - Book One

by Brendan D Murphy

Overview

The Grand Illusion (TGI) synthesizes the paranormal with today’s hard science, seeking to initiate a dramatic reempowering of humanity and a new direction for civilization. After reading, you’ll no longer consider yourself just a powerless little “meat computer” destined for total annihilation at life’s biological end; that outmoded worldview is firmly buried by the material set out within.

Here, new and expansive vistas of possibility are laid bare; the forces and energies produced by our consciousness that act on the world around us are blown open for your understanding. Did you know that modern neuroscience considers the brain as a receiver of consciousness rather than the generator of it? Get ready for an introduction to the mysterious “fifth force” known to science—a virtually unshieldable “carrier wave” of consciousness that can travel at speeds far exceeding light.

With the knowledge that we are incredible and immortal spiritual beings temporarily inhabiting a dream-like, multidimensional, holographic reality, we can indeed begin to turn life on this planet—which, for many, is a virtual nightmare—into The Grand Illusion.

Are you ready to meet yourself and encounter the Real?

"A masterpiece. If The Grand Illusion were merely paradigm destroying, which it certainly is for rearguard scientific ‘Funda-materialists,’ it would be a satisfying read. Fortunately, for those of us dedicated to establishing a new civilization of consciousness, Brendan Murphy’s fascinating, inspiring and seminal work also opens the door to a world of new creative possibilities…The Grand Illusion is mind-blowing.”

About the Author

Brendan D. Murphy is a visionary anchor for the new consciousness, with a compassionate heart, keen intellect, a no-bullshit humanitarianism, and genuine loathing for political correctness. He advocates"broad spectrum awareness," meaning a big-picture, well rounded, multi-faceted worldview - the result of years of study "connecting the dots" between the various rabbit holes. In The Grand Illusion Brendan has attempted what few other authors dare to, making his perspective invaluable to anyone consciously seeking deeper awareness of themselves, the nature of reality, and the challenges of life on earth. Brendan also facilitates very powerful sound-based "DNA activations," offering conscious seekers a trigger point for accelerated evolution and multi-levelled healing. There has been some amazing feedback and lives have indisputably been transformed. That's what it's all about! On a more personal note, Brendan is a talented musician with a versatile voice and some skill on the guitar, and he relishes the opportunity to immerse himself in song-writing. For Brendan, in seeking truth, nothing is sacrosanct, no precept too precious, and no dogma unquestionable. The need to understand and deepen consciousness must trump the ego's need for control and safety.

Editorial Reviews

"A masterpiece. If The Grand Illusion were merely paradigm destroying, which it certainly is for rearguard scientific 'Funda-materialists, ' it would be a satisfying read. Fortunately, for those of us dedicated to establishing a new civilization of consciousness, Brendan Murphy's fascinating, inspiring and seminal work also opens the door to a world of new creative possibilities...The Grand Illusion is mind-blowing." -Sol Luckman, author of Potentiate Your DNA

"I believe that your writing is even more important than your admirers realize because it can help to awaken the influential leaders who already know that we must begin immediately to build a new paradigm. That cannot happen without a revised understanding about the true nature of consciousness. I know of no one who is grappling with the problem at your level...I will be sharing your writing with others." -John Holum, M.S., B.A.

"This is a rare find. So seldom do we find a single publication that covers consciousness and the overlap between science and spirituality from so many angles. Humanity needs more publications like this. If The Grand Illusion was a text book in our education systems, then the world would be a better place!" -Peter Smith, founder of the Institute for Quantum Consciousness, author of Quantum Consciousness - Expanding Your Personal Universe

"Stunningly good. One of the best synthesis books on this sort of material I have ever read. Actually, no: it WAS the best. I've been re-reading it non-stop since finishing it the first time to soak more of it in. SO very well done. Can't wait for part 2." -Mark Jeffrey, Founder & CEO Guardian Circle, author of the Max Quick Trilogy

"Brendan Murphy has no doubt been synthesizing information for many lifetimes, and with The Grand Illusion, he knocks it out of the park. This is a brilliant compendium of evidence that unarguably demonstrates the existence of the implicate order - aka the aether, the source field, time-space, the zero point field, etc. - and how the (re)introduction of this aspect of reality into our cosmology presents a simple and elegant explanation of "paranormal" phenomenon such as remote viewing, distance and energy healing, and telepathy. Murphy arms the open-minded and disarms the skeptics, and goes a long way in the effort to erase the line in the sand of the science/spirit duality that in many ways defines (and contributes to the sickness of) our culture." -Eileen McKusick, author of Tuning the Human Biofield

"This young man is genius quality. No doubt about it. Skimming was impossible. I wanted to get as much info from the book as I could. Others will too." -Alan Glassman, 2013, reviewer for New Dawn magazine
