(Note: This is NOT an article about one religious perspective.  Rather, it’s about eight inspiring, informative, and empowering developments that make widespread conscious living a practical goal.  Put another way, personal peace, love, and harmony for many people is now eminently obtainable.  When enough people achieve that, world peace will occur relatively quickly, naturally, and easily.)

As a youth (eight to twelve-years-old), I was particularly inspired by four parts of our Lutheran* church service . . .

     (1) In The Lord’s Prayer: ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. 

     (2) In the closing Benediction: ‘May the peace that passes all understanding be in your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’ 

     (3) The title and words of the hymn ‘Brighten the Corner Where You Are‘

     (4) The Christmas Eve candlelight service where everyone’s little candle was, one person at a time, lit from one large candle from the altar. 

Regarding #1, I reasoned that ‘heaven on earth’ was a possible outcome since:

     a. that is surely part of a loving and supportive Creator’s will

     b. many people pray for that outcome

     c. some people do what they can to bring that vision to fruition

For #2, I realized that ‘the peace that passes all understanding’ sounded very desirable and comforting . . . something that everyone likely wants in their heart of hearts. 

Regarding #3, the melody and words of the song ‘Brighten the Corner Where You Are’ played in my mind often.  Over time, it became like a mantra that still motivates me 60 years later. 

For #4, the symbolism of the candlelight service was very powerful and clear: we each are little lights who can share The Light behind all life.  We each can share our light with others to help and remind them of their true nature. 

If this sounds too religious for you, bear with me.  Religious teachings and services are the primary way that many people have learned about ultimate matters.  There certainly are many positive aspects of great religions and spiritual wisdom sources.  However, there are now eight developments that make the above themes practically possible.  Collectively, these are sufficient to create personal and world harmony in the next ten years or less.  The developments discussed in this article – and I’m sure there are more – are magnificently comforting, informative, inspiring, and empowering.  They include . . .

1. Two life and world-transformative events in 2025 . . .

     a. Official announcements of definitive scientific proof for life after bodily death.

     b. Public demonstrations of technology that allows binary Yes / No communication with postmaterial persons (PMPs)  As described in article #31 What Is a Postmaterial Person?, the so-called ‘deceased’ are very much alive, well, and active.  (all articles referenced are free at SoulProof.com/Articles)  Two categories of PMPs who can be contacted include:

  • beloved family members and friends
  • scientists, educators, leaders, religious teachers, and others who were luminary geniuses and pioneers in their fields while on earth. Indications are that these members of ‘The A-Team’ have continued to progress in the next phase of life and want to help people and our planet. 

These two events are possible after 25 years of research and development by Gary E. Schwartz PhD, a former professor at Harvard and Yale.  Now professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, Dr. Schwartz directs the SoulPhone Project at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health. 

He is assisted by a team of outstanding electrical engineers, software developers, evidential mediums, and ‘The A-Team’.  Since 2016, I’ve directed the SoulPhone Foundation, assisted research, and helped shape strategic planning and implementation with Dr. Schwartz.  I mention this factor first because I think this project can be ‘the tipping point’ for enough people that our world comes together.  To learn more and watch videos about this project, visit SoulPhone.org/Interviews.


2. Guidance and Assistance from Highly Evolved Assistants / Assistance and The Light
Much scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence indicates that humans receive guidance, assistance, and love from higher energy assistants / assistance.That’s incredibly comforting, inspiring, and empowering news.

The term Higher Energy Assistants / Assistance describes very highly evolved beings / energies.  From a religious / spiritual viewpoint, they are seen as assistants: saints, angels, guides, and master teachers.  From a more secular / scientific perspective, this help is considered as higher energy assistance that is part of how the cosmos works. 

Researchers in the field of survival of consciousness describe the source of this assistance as One Mind or Cosmic Consciousness.  These terms may be preferable for those who aren’t comfortable with traditional religious images.  However you envision this help, there is good evidence that higher, faster, and more refined energies provide support and guidance – especially when invited to do so.

Many people have perceived this assistance firsthand.  Clinical evidence for this level of help has been reported by researchers in the fields of near-death experiences, life between lives sessions, and deathbed visions.  Sessions with authentic mediums – whose abilities to accurately discern specific communications from ‘deceased’ persons has been demonstrated in double blind studies – commonly report angelic presence and assistance.  

There has been some proof-of-concept scientific exploration about the existence of angels.  As discussed in his book The Sacred Promise, Dr. Schwartz and his team included an angel in at least two sets of experiments. 

Many people know this highly evolved assistance exists because of their religious faith and firsthand experiences.  Clinical and scientific evidence now opens the door to more people being aware of benefiting from this sublime assistance.  To learn more about this topic, see articles #13 What Is G.O.D. Like?, #73 Angels and Higher Energy Assistance.  My audio program Ask Your Soul, Angels, and The Light helps you better your and their wise counsel and guidance.

 

3. Evidence for ‘The Great News’ 

Ten indications about the nature of reality was formulated when Dr. Schwartz and I wrote the Greater Reality Living book.  Our view – based on much scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence – is that we live in a totally safe, infinite, eternal, and supportive cosmos.  (This is true even when it doesn’t appear that way to limited sense organs that provide a myopic perspective.)  ‘The Great News’ is that you and everyone else are:

  1. are beings of consciousness / energy who still exist after your earthly body dies.
  2. can interact with ‘deceased’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
  3. are integral, eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy / The Light now and always.
  4. receive guidance, assistance, and love from angels, guides, and master teachers.
  5. are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
  6. have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
  7. may simultaneously manifest in other space-time realities now and after bodily death.
  8. have everything you need – no matter what your past or current circumstances – to enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned.  (YOU = your higher self / soul / awareness)
     
  9. can find peace, joy, meaning, growth, and opportunities for loving service amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
  10. create the quality of your life via your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
  11. In addition to the ten indicators about the nature of reality, you will be able to use SoulPhone technology to communicate with postmaterial (so-called ‘departed’) loved ones and luminaries who can help you, all people, and our world.

Very high degrees of certainty exist about ‘The Great News’ . . .  

  • Statements #1, 2, and 11 are based on definitive scientific research at the University of Arizona using controlled, blinded, replicated, and multi-centered studies that were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
  • Statement #2 is also based on double-blinded laboratory research with results published in papers at five universities or institutes.
  • Statements #3 – 10 are based on clinical research by physicians, psychologists, and / or university professors in the fields of: near-death experiences, past life memories, perinatal experiences, life between lives input, shared death experiences, terminal lucidity cases, and deathbed visions.
  • In addition, experiential evidence – although not validated like scientific and clinical evidence – adds further validity about #1 – 10. This category of evidence includes: afterlife contacts, out-of-body experiences, electronic voice phenomena / instrumental transcommunication, and other firsthand experiences.   Four Greater Reality Programs with evidence-based information and holistic resources . . .


4. Greater Reality Programs with evidence-based information and holistic resources . . .
These programs are free and there is no membership or registration needed.  Each one provides information, resources, and support for people to use individually and with groups.  These programs will start with virtual meetings and group ‘breakouts’ on Zoom.  In-person local groups can be formed and will be supported.  Meeting dates, times, and Zoom numbers will be provided in the free newsletters at SoulProof.com and SoulPhone.org.  We will also email this information to people who express interest. 

The core of these four programs is described in article #19 ‘The Great News’ and the collective power as more people know and show it.   This list of ten indications about the nature of reality was formulated when Dr. Schwartz and I wrote the Greater Reality Living book.  Our view – based on much scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence – is that we live in a totally safe, infinite, eternal, and supportive cosmos.  (This is true even when it doesn’t appear that way to the limited sense organs that provide a limited perspective.)  The programs include:

     a. Greater Reality LIVING Program: As described in article #72 Greater Reality Living, this program can help you deeply know and show ‘The Great News’ (article #19) in every aspect of your life. The L.I.V.E.S. formula helps you better understand the nature of reality and your integral role in it:

  • Learn the evidence for ‘The Great News
  • Internalize this information about how life is set up
  • Vitalize and balance yourself holistically
  • Enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned (YOU = your soul / higher consciousness)
  • Serve others and make our world a better place

    b. Greater Reality HEALING: This program assists people to optimally grieve after any perceived ‘loss’ and thereby find and share the silver linings. After working with the Helping Parents Heal group for eleven years, I created this program that uses higher-energy thoughts, words, and actions.  Healing and positively transforming is assisted by finding the silver linings to adversity and sharing them with others.  Many people have demonstrated this is possible despite the bodily death of loved ones, becoming paralyzed, being raped, losing their health and independence, and other challenges.  This path is described in article #82 Greater Reality HEALING: Journeying FROM Deeply Grieving TO Brightly Shining. c. Greater Reality HELPING: As ‘pie-in-the-sky’ as it might sound, it is possible to greatly help yourself, others, and our world. Part of the formula is remembering who you really are, why you are here, and Who walks beside you always.   Eleven keys in this program allow you to transmute lower energies from past physical, emotional, and/or mental wounds into higher ones that help all people and our planet.  That, in turn, reminds you about the big picture of life – and it’s all great news – and live accordingly!  To learn more, see article #119 Greater Reality HELPING Yourself, Others, and Our World.d. Greater Reality SHARING: This program is for forward-thinking individuals who ‘get’ the magnificent opportunities now available and want to help themselves, others, and our world. It’s also for visionary thought leaders in religion, education, leadership, law, health care, business, philosophy, entertainment, and other fields.  They are needed to share these seven developments that provide much practical hope, inspiration, and empowerment.  Our goal is to facilitate positive paradigm shifts so that a majority of people worldwide have better reactions (‘neutral’ level or better) versus negative ones from the ‘anger’ to ‘close-minded skepticism’ levels.  To learn more about this program, see article #122 Greater Reality SHARING.

5. Many stellar organizations also assist widespread conscious living
Their high energy outreaches can, especially when collaborating with each other, help create much more peace, joy, and harmony on earth.  As described in article #72, the following groups have been a great assistance to me.  (I am most familiar with these given my Lutheran church upbringing as a youth and attending Methodist Theological School.  To be clear, all four Greater Reality Programs are NOT about any one religion.  Rather, they are about the common threads that run through all great religions and spiritual wisdom sources.)

     a. Christian churches / spiritual centers: Unity Church of Christianity, Unitarian-Universalist United Church of Christ, Centers for Spiritual Living, Spiritualist Churches

     b. Other religions / spiritual wisdom sources: Buddhist, Hindu, Reformed Jewish, Sufism, Native American and other indigenous peoples spiritual groups

     c. Organizations (in alphabetical order): Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterial Sciences, Club of Budapest / The Laszlo Institute, Essentia Foundation, Eternea, Evolutionary Leaders / Source of Synergy Foundation, Gaia, Galileo Commission, HeartMath Institute, Helping Parents Heal, Humanity’s Team, Institute of Noetic Sciences, International Association of Near-Death Studies, Seek Reality, SoulPhone.org, SoulProof.com, and The Shift Network


6. Wise and inspirational information and resources are now widely availableIn the past, esoteric information about spiritual enlightenment and holistic healing was only known by a select few.  The internet now shares this information quickly and inexpensively.  (However, it’s prudent to use discernment about the source of this information, and not get sidetracked.)  Each of the organizations and groups listed above provide much information and resources from top experts about wellness, consciousness, afterlife, world peace, and more. 

My website SoulProof.com provides many free resources, including:

     a. Articles about the most common big questions and tough challenges

     b. Radio Shows featuring my interviews with experts on consciousness, afterlife, and optimal living. These include Wayne Dyer, Brian Weiss, Anita Moorjani, Raymond Moody, Michael Newton, Caroline Myss, Gary Schwartz, and many others. 

     c. Monthly newsletters (subscriber sign up at bottom of each page)

The SoulPhone.org website that I oversee also contains free articles, videos, and newsletters.

My eight books and ten transformative audio programs cost $15 each or less.  However, we will send free digital copies to anyone who can’t afford them.  (Just email mark@soulproof.com)  I want all people worldwide to have this information and resources so they can have an optimal earthly experience, help others, and make our world a better place. 


7. Several large groups of people have awakened to the big picture of life

 Here are four that are especially hope-inspiring:

     a. Near Death Experiencers: NDErs are those who clinically died and sometimes encountered The Light. They saw more of the greater reality and how wonderfully life is set up.  They return to earth with profound and lasting upgrades to their thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions.  Millennia ago, Plato recommended that leaders come from the ranks of NDErs . . . a remarkably wise vision during that era.  

     b. Shining Light Parents: SLPers are bereaved parents, such as those in the Helping Parents Heal organization, who know their kids are alive and well. These parents stay alert for signs and visits from their children while developing different but very meaningful relationships with them.  The resulting heightened energy empowers these parents to take a higher path as they choose to find and share silver linings.  Their positive focus creates more meaning to their child’s life and helps others.  SLPers are some of the most joyful, peaceful, and loving activists I’ve had the honor to know and work with.  

     c. Spiritually Transformative Experiencers: STErs are people who became more aware of the magnificent nature of reality after encountering one or more triggers. Examples of these include NDE-like events, shared crossings, religious revelations, and spiritual awakenings.  The triggers range so widely that it’s obvious ‘When the student is ready, the teacher appears.’  

     d. ‘The 15%ers’: This is my term for the percentage of humans who embody intermediate to advanced levels of soul / consciousness. Based on data from the clinical Life Between Lives work started by Michael Newton PhD, these more advanced people want to share their greatest gifts.  They sometimes experience malaise, a creative discontent, until they remember who they are, why they’re here, and Who walks beside them always.  


8. Visionary leaders in all fields exist who understand humanity is at a crossroads

I’ve met many of these open-minded and open-hearted thought leaders who are ready to make a difference in their respective fields.  The organizations listed above were started by one or more people who wanted to make a difference. 

For example, in 2024, I described the SoulPhone Project to a group of 600 people on Stephen Berkley’s ‘Life With Ghosts’ webinar.  During an hour of Q & A afterwards, an astute rabbi asked how she could help her congregants and other rabbis to optimally prepare for the changes ahead.  That was music to my ears.  We hope that leaders of all religions and other groups will recognize the sacred and historic nature of this moment.
