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:

  1. continue to live after your earthly body dies.
  2. can interact with ‘departed’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
  3. are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy now and always.
  4. receive guidance and support from angels, guides, master teachers, etc.
  5. are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
  6. have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
  7. may manifest in other simultaneous time / space realities now and after bodily death.
  8. have everything you need to enjoy an optimal earthly experience – no matter what your past or current circumstances.
  9. can find meaning, as well as opportunities for growth and service, amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
  10. co-create how heavenly your life feels – whether living on earth or elsewhere – by your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
  11. 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:   

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Will use the terms changed worlds, passed on, transitioned and others that aptly describe a continuation of consciousness after bodily death.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

A Dove’s Message

I sat at our dining room table facing three huge picture windows.  Outside, I could see our pond, five acres, and hills of southern Ohio.  I was totally absorbed in writing Learning and Living THE BIG PICTURE of Life, the children’s version of Greater Reality Living.  A loud noise startled me as a bird flew into a window.  I looked at the ground below and saw a dove standing upright but motionless.  After making sure our two cats were inside, I went out to check on it.

The bird continued to stand very still, but turned its head to look at me.  Kneeling down within a foot of the beautiful creature, I hoped it just needed to recover from the shock.  I also felt this message: ‘Mark, when you are hurt in any way, go within like this dove.  Be quiet for awhile to recover as quickly and fully as possible.’

I looked at it intently since I have never seen a dove up so close.  As it alternately closed and opened its eyes, I saw that its eyelids were a beautiful sky blue color.  An hour later, the bird was gone and there were no feathers to suggest an animal had killed it.  The next morning, I sat down to write again.  To my amazement, this clear image was on the window . . .

 

A practical explanation would be that fine down and oil from its feathers left an imprint of wings, body, and head.  Curiously, a tuft of hair looked like a yellow beak – but it didn’t have any yellow feathers and its beak was black.

Seeing the image triggered a cascade of thoughts:

  1. I started a homeopathic healing program two weeks before to help a chronic sinus condition that caused me to clear my throat during public speaking. (I was motivated to try this approach after reading The Living Energy Universe by Dr. Gary Schwartz.)  The nickname of my homeopathic practitioner is Dove.
  2. The throat or fifth chakra is a center for ‘speaking ones highest truth.’ That yellow area was directly over where the bird’s throat would be.  Had I been tense about teaching evidence-based topics that made sense to me, but would set me up for criticism?
  3. I have felt more peaceful for the last two years since working with the SoulPhone and Greater Reality Living projects with Dr. Schwartz. Looking back, I can see how the various ‘failures and losses’ in my life directly prepared me for this work.
  4. The treatment precipitated a review of past events while dreaming. For two weeks, I had intense dreams that seemed to last throughout the night.  Upon awakening, I could trace the past trauma that I felt were being released.
  5. I’ve felt more happy for no particular reason in the last week.
  6. The dove is widely recognized as a messenger of love and peace.

After mentally running through this list, I spontaneously took a deep breath and exhalation as if releasing a big weight and pressure from my body.  Had I experienced a messenger?  Did an angel, guide, or postmaterial loved one temporarily join forces with a bird that willingly participated in this touching and energizing scenario?

Here are some early take-aways from this experience.  When tough times occur, as they invariably do, it can be difficult to remember life’s big picture and maintain hope.  For example:

  • An over-stressed person might react to the magical image on the window this way: ‘That damn bird. We just had the windows cleaned.’
  • A deeply depressed person might consider the fallen bird as yet another painful example that life is cruel and unfair.
  • A very anxious person might excessively worry if the bird will ever be OK.

However, seeing the light – even a little bit – can have profound benefits.  This is one reason it’s so important to stay balanced and enjoy centering practices.  (see Radiant Wellness)  It’s also vital to remember that we each are integral and beloved parts of the Light / Source energy.

That one realization can make a huge difference in how well you perceive the greater reality.

And, also, there’s this: we don’t want to miss out on the fun, richness, and spirit of life during this brief but wonderful (full of wonder) time on earth.  And we do want to remember there is meaning and purpose to life’s sad and difficult times – even if we can’t see it at the time.

I’m thankful for this experience and the opportunity to share it with you.  May you feel more abundant peace, joy and love now and always.  May you increasingly detect messages of hope and meaning that energize you to savor the journey while blessing others and our world.  May you remember that you are one with One Mind / the Light / All That Is now and always.
