The evidence-based information and holistic resources outlined in these articles will help you to:

  • realize your true nature as an eternal being of consciousness / life-force / energy 
  • receive guidance and assistance from highly evolved energies and Source / The Light
  • heal old wounds, release lower energies, and update erroneous teachings
  • create the greatest life YOU have envisioned (YOU = your higher self / soul)
  • help others by sharing your greatest gifts
  • make our world a better place

As enough people do this, widespread personal and planetary change will naturally unfold.

 

Eight Developments for Widespread Conscious Living Now

(Note: This is NOT an article about one religious perspective.  Rather, it’s about eight comforting, inspiring, informative, and empowering developments that make widespread conscious living a practical goal.  Put another way, much more 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 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:

  1. that is surely the will of a loving and supportive Creator
  2. many people pray for that outcome
  3. 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, comforting, and something that many people want. 

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. 

In the past, religious teachings were the primary way that many people learned about ultimate matters.  There certainly are many positive aspects of great religions and spiritual wisdom sources, especially their common threads.  In addition, many religious / spiritual groups help others as part of their loving outreaches. 

However, there are some serious downsides – particularly in the areas of understanding the nature of reality, creating an optimal earthly experience, dying with dignity, and the afterlife.  Fortunately, eight developmentsnow exist to help people . . .

  • realize their true nature as eternal beings of consciousness, life-force, and energy
  • ask for and utilize guidance and assistance from highly evolved energies and Source
  • heal old wounds and release past misinformation
  • create the greatest life they have envisioned
  • help others by sharing their greatest gifts
  • making our world a better place

As a sufficient number of people do this, global change will naturally occur.  These magnificently comforting, informative, inspiring, and empowering developments 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’.  Starting in 2016, I directed the SoulPhone Foundation which was dissolved in early 2025 for good reasons.  I’ve also assisted research, and helped shape strategic planning and implementation with Dr. Schwartz.  I mention this development 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 free audio program Ask Your Soul, Angels, and The Light helps you better access their wise counsel and guidance.

3. Evidence for ‘The Great News’
Ten indications about the nature of reality were compiled when Dr. Schwartz and I wrote theGreater Reality Livingbook.  These are discussed in article #19 ‘The Great News’.  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.

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.   

To learn more about this development, see article #19 ‘The Great News’. 

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.  Later, in-person local groups will be formed.  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. 

Note: Videos for each program are available at the SoulProof.com and SoulPhone.org websites under the top tab Greater Reality Programs. 

‘The Eight Developments’ are the core of these four programs that 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 as you:

    • 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 ramifications of the SoulPhone Project for 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.  Our goal is to facilitate positive paradigm shifts before the official announcements and demonstrations.  Why?  So that a majority of people worldwide have higher-energy reactions (‘neutral’ or better) versus negative ones from anger to close-minded skepticism.  To learn more about this program, see article #122 Greater Reality SHARING.

5. Many stellar organizations that 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.  (Note: What helped me the most was no doubt influenced by a number of factors including my Lutheran church upbringing, attending Methodist Theological School, and what I needed to learn at the time.)

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

   b. Other religions / spiritual wisdom sources: Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Native American and other indigenous 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 available
In 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.

7. Several large groups of people have awakened to the big picture of life
Here are four that are especially hope-inspiring:

  1. Near Death Experiencers: As discussed in article #92, 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. 
  2. 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.  These parents are some of the most joyful, peaceful, and loving activists I’ve had the honor to know and work with.  To learn more, visit HelpingParentsHeal.org. 
  3. 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.’  To learn more about Spiritually Transformative Experiences, see article #17.
  4. ‘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.  See article #98 Life Between Lives and #117 Are You a More Evolved Soul? to learn more about these topics.

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.

All of this – the SoulPhone Project, Highly Evolved Assistants / Assistance, Evidence for ‘The Great News’, Greater Reality Programs, stellar organizations, evidence-based information and resources, awakened activists, and visionary leaders – will have profound benefits for many people and our planet.  Thank you for doing your part and helping this vision become a reality.
