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.

Pause and Remember

I awakened early one morning, but let myself doze for a while.  During that time of hypnogogic consciousness, I dreamt I was an actor in a play.  There were a few other cast members and a larger number of crew members.  We anticipated that the play would be enthusiastically received and planned to perform nightly.

The first evening arrived and 50 people attended.  That was OK, but we had hoped for more.  For the next presentation, no one arrived.  We decided to go ahead and do a run through performance.  I don’t recall any details of the play except the following.  At a crucial point, I was hugged by another cast member who was dressed as an angel.  She put her hands over my tail bone to impart a blessing.

However, when she did that, we both were hugged by a very large real angel.  The angel also touched both of our tailbone areas.  Instantly, we both were filled with a brilliant white light that emanated upward and outward.  As often is described, the beauty, power, and radiance of the light were ineffable.  Afterwards, the other cast and crew members relayed how they too felt energized and healed by the light.

Then I fully awakened into the earth experience.

I took a few moments to consider what the dream might have meant.  I knew that the brain may create a dream in an attempt to make sense of an actual ‘spiritual’ event.  I felt that a true energetic healing from an angelic being had occurred.  I felt very peaceful, clear, and semi-ecstatic.  I seriously entertained the possibility that I had indeed just received a celestial healing and energy infusion.

Then the words ‘pause and remember’ popped up.  When I pondered what it meant, I felt I was being reminded to take just a moment and remember all I know before reacting.  I couldn’t recall ever hearing that phrase before.  A search revealed that it’s a term others, especially those in the Buddhist tradition, have used.

The placement of the angel’s hand over the tailbone was interesting.  The anatomical term for tailbone is sacrum, a word with the root word meaning ‘holy bone’.  I was motivated, in part, to become a chiropractic physician after learning the yogic model that energy is stored in the region of the sacrum.  Ideally, it flows in an uninterrupted and optimal way along the spinal cord to the brain and in reverse.   Indeed, a sacral-occipital pump-like action assists optimal flow of the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes and nourishes the spine and brain.

I also thought about the relevance of ‘a play’ being involved in my dream.  An earthly experience is so much like that.  It seems so real that we are separate physical people who age and die.  But that is just one limiting perception of what is really going on.

In addition, looking at life as a series of plays, movies, or books also helps explain why people may choose adversity.  Heroes are born when they are most tested in challenging conditions.  Having an earthly experience helps us remember who and how very powerful we each are.

I’ve worked very closely with Gary E. Schwartz PhD, director of the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the University of Arizona for the last five years.  The SoulPhone Project (SoulPhone.org) project is centered there and has:

  1. scientifically demonstrate life after bodily death
  2. created technology allowing rudimentary communication between material persons – those living on earth – and postmaterial persons whose earthly forms have died.

We sometimes are ‘on the same wavelength’ and have synchronistic experiences that encourage us to continue the work.  The day after my experience, I relayed it to Gary during a Zoom meeting.  Interestingly, that same morning, he had an evidential medium assisted meeting with an angel.  In addition, on the day before, the song ‘Try to Remember’ – a song he hadn’t thought of for many years – was going through his head repetitively for an unknown reason.

Finally, I want to mention the wise words of my beloved teach Ram Dass.  His first book, Be Here Now, prominently features this phrase: Love, Serve, Remember.

That’s one of the most concise and wise pieces of advice for those visiting planet earth:

  1. Love yourself, Source, and other people, animals and all of life
  2. Serve others, including yourself, as you feel called to do
  3. Remember the big picture of life and that you:
  4. are still alive after your human form dies.
  5. do not really ‘lose’ loved ones after their earthly bodies perish since you reunite with them when you change worlds.
  6. can enjoy a continued, but different, relationship with ‘departed’ loved ones now.
  7. are integral, infinite, and beloved parts of Source Energy / Creator / One Mind.
  8. receive assistance and guidance from sources variously described as angels, guides, master teachers, and higher energies.
  9. can have different and, perhaps, simultaneous life experiences. That means you may   be with ‘deceased’ loved ones right now in a parallel reality / different slice of Life.
  10. create how heavenly or hellish your life feels by your predominant thoughts, words and deeds.
  11. are interconnected in sacred ways with all people, animals, and nature.
  12. have special purposes for experiencing being on this planet at this time. It’s an optical delusion that this time on earth is all there is.

Pause and remember.  Try to remember.  Love, serve, remember. 

I hope this helps you do that and increasingly know and show this: the more you develop a ‘big picture of life’ perspective, the more you realize this earthly experience is a totally safe, meaningful, and magnificent adventure amidst eternity.
