We are all invited to embark on a deep and transformative journey of self-exploration and healing as the long-anticipated release of “Torn Between Two Worlds: Modern Medicine and Spiritual Healing”. Building upon the achievement of the initial trilogy in the “Torn Between Two Worlds” series – titled “Science and Religion,” “Wisdom and Rhetoric,” and “Material and Ethereal” – Shawn artfully constructs a foundation to comprehend the inherent duality interwoven into human existence. In this latest release, the focus moves from philosophical contemplation to actionable guidance, furnishing readers with insights for skillfully navigating life’s complexities.

By the book’s conclusion, my hope is that readers will not only possess tools for aid but also a comprehensive manual on integrating them into their unique life paths.
Shawn was once asked about his inspiration, after he promoted his first three books and became a popular active blogger in Quora. There he was inspired and encouraged by his followers to write his self-help book. He is dedicating this to these two individuals that valued his support and inspiration that he provided.
About the Author
He began his work journey at the age of 14, working his way through High School and attaining a BS in Engineering while employed as a machinist. Upon transitioning to an engineering role, he achieved a Master’s in Engineering, followed by a Master’s in Business, and dedicated his free time to becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst. His unquenchable thirst for knowledge has persisted throughout their life.
His credentials continued to flourish as he pursued a thriving career as an investment manager, consistently prioritizing ongoing education. In 1996, he initiated a study of philosophy and spirituality subsequent to an encounter with skilled clairvoyants during his initial week-long spiritual retreat. Over the past 27 years, he engaged in intensive learning under their guidance, delving into spiritual laws and remedies that now form the essence of their written work.
In response to the events of September 11, 2001, he found inspiration to author six articles that countered the prevailing rhetoric of the time. Additionally, following a stroke experienced by his 20-year-old daughter, he felt compelled to write the “Torn Between Two Worlds” trilogy.
This endeavor aimed to disseminate the wisdom accumulated throughout his life’s journey, which had provided him strength during challenging periods. Recent developments include the establishment of a spiritual consulting business subsequent to the release of his self-help book. Utilizing the tools expounded upon in his writing, he is dedicated to aiding those who are enduring suffering. Moreover, have been actively assisting aspiring clairvoyants in honing their skills, as the principles they articulate hold relevance for individuals from all walks of life.

Author offers a guide to overcome spiritual afflictions for overall well-being and fulfillment
ZUG, Switzerland, April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “Torn Between Two Worlds: Modern Medicine and Spiritual Healing” by Shawn T. Murphy explores the spiritual illnesses that can affect individuals and their loved ones, often unrecognized or misdiagnosed by the medical community, and the ways in which we can heal ourselves.
In this empowering guide, Murphy’s fourth book on the topic of human dualism, readers are provided a hands-on approach to increasing their spiritual strength and resistance to negativity. Highlighting that the path to fulfillment should be nurtured in childhood, Murphy also provides tips for parenting in a way that may reduce the need for medications or penalties throughout a child’s life.
“We are spiritual beings, each and every one of us,” Murphy said. “Children are spiritual beings, too, with a purpose in their lives. Too many parents take possession of their children and don’t allow them to be who they should be. Many spend a great deal of time trying to undo their childhood.”
Murphy’s guidance on building mental strength is the result of more than 30 years developing a philosophical lens that bridges the gap between standard mental health approaches and spiritual healing. Murphy has penned three other books exploring his work on establishing a unique framework for human dualism.
“Many books are philosophical in nature, but this book offers actionable guidance,” Murphy said. “It brings a lot of aspects together that we haven’t seen before and opens the mind to other possibilities.”

About the author
Shawn Murphy began studying philosophy and spirituality in 1996 after meeting talented clairvoyants at his first week-long spiritual retreat. He studied under them over the last 27 years, investigating spiritual laws and treatments which are reflected in his writing. After moving to Bermuda in 2000, he started publishing his philosophic works in the Bermuda Sun. Following the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, he published a series of six articles speaking out against the rhetoric that had erupted. Shawn was inspired to write the “Torn Between Two Worlds” trilogy, following the stroke of his 20-year-old daughter. This was to share with others the wisdom he has gained in his life’s journey that gave him strength in this trying time. Recently, he published the fourth book in the series and then started a spiritual consulting business. To learn more, please visit tornbetweentwoworlds.com.
Learn to Trust Your Intuition – New Podcast
February 8, 2023 – I spoke with Brandon G Handley Spiritual Dope Podcast, trying to make the topics of spirituality palatable for logical thinkers, like myself. In addition, I answered a few specific questions from Brandon: What is the relationship between science and religion? Describe heaven and how to get there?
Logic in Religion
A lack of logic in religion is one of the reasons that churches are becoming less attractive to people, but it is also responsible for much of the conflict in the world. It is time to replace mystery and man-made doctrines with the logic that existed before power-hungry took it from us.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGx20ptDitA[/embedyt]In this episode we have a lively exchange and cover: • The first Christians • Scientifically based theologians • Origen of Alexandria • The consistency of spiritual and material laws • Socrates, Plato & Aristotle (who contributed what) • The order and logic of God/Creator • The making of a true philosopher • The book of Revelation as history, not prophecy • The Restoration of All Things (Origen’s teaching) versus the Doctrine of Salvation • Rhetoric versus Wisdom.

What is the relation between our soul and our mind, according to modern science?
First of all, modern science does not recognize the soul, but rather they are struggling with the difference between consciousness and the brain. I was just at a mental health presentation at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, which was focusing on the use of psychedelic drugs in treatment. One of the presenters said: “We do not understand the difference between consciousness and the brain.” I asked this member: “Then how can you effectively treat illnesses of consciousness?”
The best modern scientific research on this subject is being done by the Division of Perceptual Studies – University of Virginia School of Medicine. Dr. Bruce Greyson, who has spent over a half of a century scientifically researching thousands of Near-Death Experiences. Through this extensive research, this is what modern science is willing to say:
The seventh lesson is that NDE’s raise questions about the continuation of consciousness after death. If it is true that minds can function in extreme circumstances without physical brains, that is may be possible that minds can continue to exist after the death of the brain.
…
An answer to what happens after death, may be beyond today’s scientific methods, or it may be just beyond our scientific imagination, but the scientific answer, if it ever comes, will likely be through indirect evidence, like the trail of bubble subatomic particles leave in a bubble chamber. I don’t know if some kind of continued consciousness after death is the best explanation for NDE experiencers seeing loved ones that no one knew had died, but I do not have any alternative explanation for the evidence. We may eventually come up with another explanation, but until then, some form of continued consciousness after death seems to be the most plausible working model. The evidence, that under extreme conditions, we can see beyond the range that our physical senses see and hear, and that we can remember things our physical brains have not processed, comes not just from NDE’s but from a variety of research avenues. So, it makes sense to me to live our lives as if this is really the way things are. That we are more than our physical bodies, that some part of us may continue after our physical bodies stop working, and that we may be intimately connected to something greater than ourselves. And that has tremendous implications as to how we live our lives, and for what makes our lives meaningful and worthwhile.
Ref: After by Dr. Bruce Greyson – Chapter 20.
Modern science has come a long way in the past 30 years on this subject, but practicing doctors are still being taught that a human is purely a physical being. Until doctors and researchers are taught what Greyson has discovered, those suffering illnesses of consciousness or of the soul, will not receive effective care.
Back to your original question: What is the difference between the soul and the mind? Greyson hints at this point in his NDE studies. He says that the experiences people have when their brain is not functioning are more real than normal memories, because consciousness (the soul) is not being filtered by the brain. Humans who have reached a high level of enlightenment are able to access the unfiltered knowledge and wisdom of their soul.
Be cautious when going into a spiritual business
I have had many discussions with psychics and spiritual practitioners, and discovered some common patterns. Many of the practicing psychics have gone through a difficult childhood/adulthood and had a spiritual awakening – discovering their gift. They have gone into their practice without the needed preparation, to ensure:
- Protection from negative energies
- Protection from outside spiritual influences – familiar spirits, lost spirits, vengeful spirits and evil spirits.
- Discernment between the benevolent spirit world and the malevolent
Going into business in a spiritual business makes these matters worse, as one is subject to more negative thoughts from exposure on the internet, and worse, to spiritual beings that want to influence the spiritually gifted. I have written about this for The Spiritual Biz Magazine, and you can read the article here.
