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.

Prayer
I’ve been asked how I pray. This is a bit personal but I’m glad to share. No matter what I say, some people will think I’m evolved while others will think I’m doomed to hell forever. I’ve reached the point where I don’t worry about what other people think about me.
The backstory is I’ve felt a close relationship to G.O.D. throughout my life. G.O.D. stands for the guiding, organizing, and designing Presence and Power that is behind and is all life. I rejected archaic notions of a big guy in the sky who judges and smites in my youth. However, I always felt an interconnection with the Creator and Sustainer of all life. (For more information, see article #13 What Is God Really Like at SoulProof.com)
I’ve also enjoyed a personal relationship with Jesus and had experiences that indicate he is part of my spiritual support team. I didn’t capitalize the pronoun ‘he’ because I don’t believe Jesus is God any more than all of us are. Assuming that Biblical history is correct — which is a reach — he was one of the most enlightened, aware, illumined, advanced, loving, wise, and compassionate people on earth. From what I know, Buddha and others were in a similar category that I call master teachers. (To learn more about my views about Jesus, see article #83 Am I a Christian?)
I attended Lutheran church services regularly until I was 18. Then I attended a fundamentalist Christian denomination for a few years because my girlfriend did. But I totally rejected many of their beliefs and consider them blasphemous to a loving and caring Source. I learned and used techniques from Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Sufism, and Native spirituality sources. I attended Methodist theology school until I finished all their pastoral counseling and Biblical history courses. When I attend services these days, I prefer Unity, Unitarian-Universalist, or Centers for Spiritual Living.
The term soulmate refers to the large number of beings who serve as my cast, crew, and closest loved ones — and I as theirs — in different life experiences that are like a movie, play, or book. Material person refers to those living on earth. Postmaterial person refers to those whose earthly forms have died and are now living in another slice of life.
When do I pray? As a youth, the advice by St. Paul to ‘pray without ceasing’ caught my attention but it sounded like a lot of praying. Now, at age 67, I pray or chant whenever I can. I start and end each day with prayers shared below. I enjoy talking with Creator / Spiritual Support Team / Inner Self while driving, walking in nature, and before meditation.
At bedtime, I start with various terms for Creator. I don’t always complete them before falling asleep but it’s a great way to end the day and begin my dreamtime.
Why do I pray? Ram Dass tells that Gandhi was asked by a reporter to give the people a message. Gandhi replied: My life is my message. Similarly, my life is my prayer. I agree that prayer is a great way to talk with God. Meditation and other centering practices allow us to listen more closely. I enjoy the process of prayer and how I feel during and after. It’s like keeping up with a very dear friend with whom I’ve had a very long connection.
Who do I pray to? Based on much evidence and my personal experiences, I believe that I and everyone else are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of All That Is. Further, I believe that I and everyone else are sacredly interconnected with all of life. As such, my prayers simultaneously like talking to Source / Spiritual Support Team / Inner Self / All Life.
I talk to ‘them’ as though they are right beside me because they are. I converse as though they are just as real as any ‘solid’ person on earth even though I know solidity and separateness are illusions.
How do I pray? Aloud or in my mind. No flowery sucking up to a mercurial dictator in the sky that I fear. I just pick up with what seems like an infinitely long and dear conversation. No supplication needed. I assume that Universe knows what is best. Mainly prayers of gratitude since I know that my intentions will occur if, how, and when they are supposed to.
What are my prayers? They grew into the current form and sometimes change.
In the morning . . .
Dear G.O.D. and all my beloved support team. Greetings, love, gratitude, blessings, and good morning to you. Thank you for another walk on earth together today. Thank you for all your love, support, guidance, and assistance in helping me make today outstanding in every way as I:
– Serve many people lovingly, joyfully, and magnificently
– Always am aware that this brief time on earth is an exciting adventure. I have everything I
need to be a hero, help others, and enjoy the journey
– Grow, learn, and evolve
– Enjoy the richness, beauty, entertainment, pleasure, and much more of my time on earth
(The first letters of those four words spell SAGE)
I send out prayers to all people everywhere — especially those who are searching, struggling, and suffering. I send peace, joy, love, light, and vibrant reminders that we each are one with the One and part of Source now and always. (Then I send out special prayers to family, friends, patients, and others)
Thank you for all your love, support, guidance, and assistance as I expand my wonderful life even more toward the greatest life I have envisioned. (Then I list five or so of my current goals for making my life even more incredible.)
I am always protected, shielded, guided, balanced, and centered — even if I forget to ask.
I shine as brightly as possible, do all I came here to do, share my greatest gifts, and sing all my heart songs.
Thank you and so it is. Amen
At bedtime . . .
Dear E.L.G.O.D. — the energizing, loving, guiding, organizing, and designing Presence and Power that is behind all Life, that IS all Life, and of which I — and everyone else — is an integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved part.
Great Spirit, the Light, the Presence, All That Is, the Ground of All Being, Mother-Father God, the Above One. One Mind, Life Source, Creator and Sustainer of all life, the Great Mystery, Boundless Consciousness.
Source Energy, Universal Intelligence, Creator, the One, the Divine, the Infinite, Higher Power, the Beloved, the Supreme, Creative Energy, the Force, Creative Mind, the Source Field.
Infinite Intelligence, First Spirit, Life Itself, Life Unfolding, the Cosmic Dreamer, the Omniscient One, Sacred Beingness, Birther of all that exists, the Infinite One, Breather of all life, the Source.
And to my beloved support team: my angels, guides, master teachers, soulmates, and material and postmaterial loved ones. Greetings, blessings, love, and gratitude to you and good night.
Thank you for helping me have another outstanding day. And now, thank you for helping me to sleep deeply — totally relaxing, resting, recharging, and revitalizing head to toe, in body / mind / spirit, always and in all ways. Traveling, learning, serving, and having great adventures in other realms until this body awakens after just the right amount of sleep. Feeling fully energized and enthusiastic about a new outstanding day.
Thank you and so it is. Amen.
