Note: If you already know the following information scroll down to the article title in maroon below the seven asterisks. However, I strongly recommend reading this introduction until you really ‘own’ it. In addition, post The Great News where you’ll see it every day.
Over the last 15 years, and especially during 2019 – 2024, data from a series of experiments at the University of Arizona have definitively demonstrated scientifically that life continues after physical death. This research was conducted by Gary E. Schwartz PhD, former professor at Harvard and Yale, and pioneer in the fields of behavioral medicine and energy healing.
Dr. Schwartz is assisted in this work by a team of electrical engineers, software developers, research assistants, evidential mediums, and postmaterial luminaries at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health. (To learn more about the SoulPhone Project and lab, visit LACH.Arizona.edu. To learn about postmaterial luminaries, see article #31 at SoulProof.com)
The Demo SoulSwitch is a binary (Yes / No) SoulSwitch device that postmaterial persons (the so-called ‘deceased’) can use to answer questions, verify their identity, and begin providing information to help many people and our planet. This device should be ready for beta testing by the summer of 2024. After sessions with project volunteers and larger donors, we will share data that scientifically demonstrates life continues after bodily death. However, this ‘reveal’ will initially occur as an ‘incremental trickle’ versus a ‘sudden splash’. Over time and under optimal conditions, we will gradually amplify how widely this news is shared.
Likewise, demonstrations of this technology will occur in a stepwise fashion. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that full announcements and demonstrations will occur by spring 2025. These decisions were made in April 2024 after many strategic planning discussions with core project team members. The many factors involved are much more complex than you might imagine.
See articles #1, 60, and 115 for an overview of the scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence that indicates – with 99.9% certainty – that consciousness survives bodily death. This collective evidence also shows – with very high degrees of certainty – The Great News that you and everyone else:
- continue to live after your earthly body dies.
- can interact with ‘departed’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
- are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy now and always.
- receive guidance and support from angels, guides, master teachers, etc.
- are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
- have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
- may manifest in other simultaneous time / space realities now and after bodily death.
- have everything you need to enjoy an optimal earthly experience – no matter what your past or current circumstances.
- can find meaning, as well as opportunities for growth and service, amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
- co-create how heavenly your life feels – whether living on earth or elsewhere – by your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
- can likely use SoulPhone technology in the future to communicate with postmaterial loved ones and access wisdom from luminaries who can help us heal our world.
Statements #1, 2, and 11 are based on definitive scientific research. The other statements are based on: (a) clinical research: near-death experiences, past life memories and regressions, perinatal experiences, life between lives sessions, shared crossings, terminal lucidity cases, and deathbed visions; and (b) evidencefrom firsthand experiences: after-death communications, out-of-body experiences, spiritually transformative experiences, electronic voice projection / instrumental transcommunication, and other ways of knowing.
This is, obviously, a new and exciting era for humanity. When understood and internalized – even just a bit – The Great News can help you make the shift:
- FROM thinking, believing, and acting as if your time on earth is unfair, meaningless, cruel, and ends with cessation of consciousness or the possibility of endless suffering.
- TO thinking, believing, and acting as if this earthly experience is a totally meaningful, safe, and magnificent adventure amidst forever.
Conscious language can help you adopt a greater reality perspective and live based on the second bulleted worldview. And that, in turn, can help you create the greatest life YOU have envisioned, fulfill your purposes for being on earth, serve others, and enjoy a magnificent journey. In the pursuit of using more conscious / accurate terms, l:
- Will use the term ‘YOU’ to describe the totality of your energy / being. Your real self may manifest in different spacetime ways simultaneously since only approximately 50% of your consciousness is needed to have an earthly experience. The term ‘YOU’ recognizes both of these possibilities.
- Won’t use the terms ‘die, departed, deceased, or dead’ without single quotation marks since those have strongly entrenched and erroneous meanings indicating an end of life.
- Will use the terms ‘bodily death’ and ‘death of the earthly form’ to remind you that only the earth-suit dies. The rest – all the intelligence, love, personality, memories, preferences, sense of humor, and much more – continues living in other parts of the field of all possibilities.
- Will use the terms changed worlds, passed on, transitioned and others that aptly describe a continuation of consciousness after bodily death.
- Will primarily refer to those who have passed on as postmaterial persons. That term recognizes the points in #3. I also will use soul, consciousness, essence, and awareness.
- Will primarily refer to ‘physical humans living on earth’ as material persons. Why? Because those terms within single quotation marks may apply to postmaterial persons. That is, they can have physicality, visit earth, and are still human in meaningful ways.
- Will use the terms lower versus higher energies, emotions, and ways of being. These descriptors are not critical, judgmental, or subjective; rather, they are based on objective measures by, for example, David Hawkins PhD, MD author of Power Versus Force. He and other researchers found that higher-energy emotions of peace, joy, and love calibrate at 600, 540, and 500 respectively. Conversely, lower-energy emotions of anger, fear, and guilt calibrate at 150, 100, and 30. To be clear, energy / consciousness is who and what you really are, not just how you are feeling. Your predominant energies create the quality of your life and the nature of your earthly or other time-space experience.
- Will use single quotations marks with words such as ‘lose and fail’. The Great News and collective afterlife evidence can expand your worldview about what seem to be losses and failures. We can’t accurately judge the big picture of life – what is lost or how we failed – with our limited human senses.
Note: To recognize and respect different genders and sexual identifications, I will alternate using ‘he’ or ‘she’ and related pronouns. Depending on a person’s orientation, one, both, or neither of those may apply.

Optimal Grieving: 7 Keys for Moving FROM Deep Mourning TO Healing and Transformation
Human emotions are so rich and can seem overwhelming after a loved one changes worlds. In this article, I’ll share seven simple steps to moving out of deep and prolonged grieving. Many people have found that these keys lighten and abbreviate their mourning when a beloved person or pet passes on.
I’ll refer to the five stages of grief system of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross MD: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I also recommend looking at the Map of Consciousness by David Hawkins MD, PhD. Hawkins’ objective measures show why it’s so important to:
A. Focus on higher-energy emotions and ways of being such as love, peace, joy, gratitude, enthusiasm, enlightenment and others that help you heal and transform.
B. Minimize your focus on lower-energy emotions and ways of being such as fear, anger, guilt, grief, shame, and hopelessness.
To learn more about this topic, see article #108 Higher Energies, Emotions, and Ways of Being.
When your predominant thoughts, words, and actions align with those in list (A), your life can feel heavenly no matter what is going on around you. For example, when a loved one graduates from earth school, you can feel appreciation for your time together, realize you’ll see each other again, and transform yourself for the better. See article #41 to learn more about this A.R.T. Technique.
Seven keys for optimal grieving, healing, and transforming . . .
- Loving support from grief support groups and those who are on the path of accepting a loved one’s transition. Helping Parents Heal is an excellent example of a more enlightened grief support group that focuses on list (A) above. Lean on caring and open-minded family, friends, church members, and others who can help. These resources can assist all five stages of grief as you meet with others who have moved through them. For more information, see article #3 When a Loved One’s Earthly Body Dies at SoulProof.com
- Holistic health-care team with an integrative medical doctor who uses natural methods whenever possible, psychological and/or pastoral counselor, and chiropractic physician and/or acupuncturist who uses whole food nutrition and energy-release work. These approaches fine-tune your body, brain, and consciousness so you can remember The Great News listed before this article. Having a holistic health-care team also minimizes or prevents using pharmaceutical drugs that may have disastrous side-effects such as increased suicidal thoughts and actions. For more information, see articles # 32 Nutrition-Based Healing and #87 Natural Health Care.
- Centering practices such as meditation, prayer, yoga, and time in nature can help quiet the brain so you remember the big picture of life. (article #77 Centering Practices)
- Regularly release lower-energies and emotions to create an opening for higher ones. The Holistic Breathing Technique, as described in article #70, is very powerful and safe. Primal release methods of yelling into a pillow, pounding a mattress, or burying a list of fears can also help.
- Use the Ask Your Soul, G.O.D., and Angels Technique to access inner wisdom and guidance from your Real Self, The Light, and her spiritual support team. To learn more about this extraordinary approach, see article #71/
- Evidential medium sessions can help you more deeply know that your ‘departed’ loved one is truly alive, well, and still an important part of your family. To learn how to find a skilled medium whose abilities have been evaluated under double blind conditions, see article #6 Evidential Mediums)
- When you are ready, the Facilitated After Death Communication Technique can help you develop a different but very real relationship with your dear one in the next phase of life. To learn more about this amazing method that I designed, see article #9 Visiting ‘Departed’ Loved Ones Now.
These core ways to heal and transform can help after any tragedy. Adversity can be a potent wake-up call to remember who you really are, why you’re here, and Who walks beside you always. Many people have found their lives have more joy, love, and peace after using these steps.
Having to reach down deep when a loved one passes on can remind you that life and love are eternal. The more deeply you know that, the more your life can become a magnificent and fulfilling demonstration of how awakened persons can live no matter what is going on around them.
Addendum . . .
Grieving is a natural and understandable reaction when a dear one passes on. However, understanding more about the big picture of life / the nature of reality often lessens and shortens deep grieving. In addition, knowing more about how life is set up can help you find meaning to any loss or challenge. You can better find the silver linings, grow spiritually, and bless others. One way to begin this process is to examine your fears versus evidence-based information that is now available. I’ve done this below for some common fears that block a person from handling challenges optimally and fully engaging in life.
(All articles listed below are at SoulProof.com/Articles.)
Common fears versus evidence-based understandings about the nature of reality. . .
Death . . .
Fear: Life ends after bodily death.
Reality: Your life, and that of your loved ones, existed before human birth and continues after death of the human form.
Evidence: Articles #1 Scientific Evidence for Life After Death , 60 Clinical Evidence, 115 Firsthand Experience Evidence
Seeing loved ones who have passed on . . .
Fear: You’ll never see them again.
Reality: Contact can occur between loved ones while you are on earth and after you pass on.
Evidence: Articles #1 Scientific Evidence for Postmaterial Communication, 6 Evidential Mediums, 17 Spiritually Transformative Experiences, 28 ADCs, 35 SoulPhone Project
Religious related concerns . . .
Fear: My loved one might end up in hell because he / she ___. (Fill in the blank with your area of concern, for example, passed on by suicide, wasn’t baptized, wasn’t saved, etc.)
Reality: We each are integral and beloved parts of Source Energy right now. G.O.D. is love, peace, and understanding; as such, the above fears are without basis.
Evidence: Articles #13 Nature of Creator, 16 Spiritual Teachings, 71 Ask Your Soul, 73 Angels, 107 The Afterlife
Can’t survive being away from my ‘departed’ loved one . . .
Fear: You will lapse into uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and attempt suicide.
Reality: You have much more control than you suspect and much help is available for you. In addition, you and your loved one may indeed be together right now in another time / space slice of life.
Evidence: Articles #5 Considering Suicide, 12 Fine-Tuning Myself, 38 Holistic Solutions, 51 Meditation, 66 Relationships for More Evolved Persons, 75 Multilocation, 87 Natural Health Care, 89 Prayers, 100 Enlightenment, 108 Higher Energies, Emotions, and Ways of Being
God took my loved one away . . .
Fear: Creator is a judgmental and selfish dictator who arbitrarily decides who dies and how.
Reality: Major events during an earthly experience are often pre-planned. Good evidence shows that the timing and means of dying is set up for good reasons that we can’t remember or fathom from our limited human perspective. You didn’t cause the death of your dear one’s human form by something you did or didn’t do. The timing and meaning of a dear one’s passing involves many more factors than you can imagine.
Evidence: Articles #13, Nature of G.O.D., 25 Pre-Birth Planning, 68 Big Picture of Life, 78 Did God Take My Loved One?, 82 FROM Bereaved TO Shining Light,
Poor quality of your life after a loved one changes worlds . . .
Fear: My life will never be happy and peaceful again. Other relationships will suffer and may end. I will suffer with mental and physical symptoms and never feel great again. I need alcohol and drugs to feel good or block the pain.
Reality: Whether that happens or not depends, in large part, on what you choose. We each create the quality of our lives by our collective thoughts, words, and actions. You can always decide — no matter what is happening to or around you — to focus on higher-energy emotions and ways of being: love, peace, joy, gratitude, compassion, enthusiasm, enlightenment, and others. In each moment, you can reach for the highest feeling thought. Many others have done this and you can to.
