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.

‘The Great News’ 

‘The Great News’ listed below is based upon evidence from scientific research, clinical, data, and firsthand experiences.  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.

‘The Great News’ is especially important for those who are searching, serving, struggling, and suffering, especially if you are:

  1. grieving the passing of a loved one’s human form
  2. fearing your bodily death
  3. struggling with the suicide of a dear one
  4. suffering with difficulties such as failed relationships, physical / mental imbalance, broken dreams, financial loss, lack of purpose, isolation, addicted loved ones, etc.
  5. in the process of your physical body dying
  6. mourning the end of a beloved pet’s no longer needed shell
  7. considering suicide
  8. upgrading past cultural, educational, or religious teachings that no longer make sense
  9. searching for sensible answers to your biggest questions and challenges
  10.  serving others and wanting to help at a deeper level
  11.  desiring to enjoy the greatest life you have envisioned
  12.  wanting to transform yourself and our planet for the better
  13.  curious and desiring to know more about the nature of reality
  14. wondering if they are more evolved people / souls and, if so, how to best live during this earthly experience.

‘The Great News’ is listed below with a brief discussion and suggested articles for learning more.  (Note: This news applies to you and everyone else.)

‘The Great News’ is listed below with a brief discussion and suggested articles for learning more.  You and everyone else . . .

1. Are beings of consciousness / energy who continue to live after your earthly body dies. The collective evidence clearly shows that your real self / essence is much more than the physical body you see in the mirror.  Your earthly experience can be much more peaceful, joyful, and fulfilling when you remember this: over 99% of who and what you are continues living after your earthly form dies.  (To learn more about this topic, see articles #1, 60, and 115 at SoulProof.com/Articles)

2. Can continue relationships with ‘departed’ loved ones now, and after you pass on. Many people have enjoyed ‘afterlife contacts’ (ALCs) with their dear ones who have changed worlds. Those relationships will be different, but can be very real and meaningful. In addition, near-death experiences and Life Between Lives clinical research show that can enjoy a reunion with postmaterial loved ones after your human body dies.  (#6, 9, 28, 94)

3. Are integral, infinite, and eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy / Creative Intelligence now and always. This view is supported by many documented near-death experiences, other spiritually transformative experiences, firsthand revelatory encounters, and spiritual wisdom sources. In the past, your limited brain perceptions and fear-based religious teachings may have led you to believe that G.O.D. is separate, very far away, wrathful, and judgmental.  However, the evidence shows that, actually, you are one with The One and part of Source Energy now and always.  (#13, 15, 78)

4. Receive higher sources of guidance, assistance, and love. Angels, guides, and master teachers are religious / spiritual terms for your spiritual support team.  People who prefer a more secular perspective can term that support as higher energy assistance. As such, you are never alone despite what your five senses may report.  That assistance is always available, especially when you ask for it, give thanks, and use it to help yourself and others.  (#71, 73, 108)

5. Are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature. This view is also echoed in much clinical and experiential evidence.  You may have felt a sense of this when having a peak experience in nature, serving others, or experiencing love.  Now you can understand why a version of The Golden Rule surfaced across time in widely distant cultures.  We all are essentially one so it makes to love your neighbor AND yourself.  (#11, 17, 52)

6. Have special purposes for visiting this planet at this time. Your time on earth may SEEM cruel, meaningless, and chaotic.  However, the collective evidence indicates that you are having this earthly experience now for specific reasons.  The more you know and follow your purposes for being here, the more sensible and rewarding your earthly visit will be.  (#21, 45, 77)

7. May manifest in other simultaneous space-time ‘slices of life’ now and after bodily death. Only part of your consciousness / energy may be needed to participate in this earthly experience.  Other parts of yourself may make other formed or formless time-space realities possible.  Finally, some of your essence may never leave Home / Source.  The many implications of this are deeply comforting, exciting, and inspiring.  (#75, 100)

8. Have everything you need to enjoy an optimal earthly experience despite past or current circumstances. This statement is evident when you remember who you are and Who walks beside you always.  Items 3 – 6 all support this viewpoint.  (#10, 15, 118)

9. Can find opportunities for growth and loving service amidst your toughest changes and challenges. Adversity can make you better or bitter. Silver linings and blessings always are present, even in situations that seem nightmarish.  Ultimately, it’s a matter of choice and focused intention.  (#29, 68, 101, 119)

10. Create the quality of your life – while on earth or elsewhere – by your predominant thoughts, words andactions. The word ‘heaven’ originally meant, in part, how you feel after your body dies and you have a life review.  You then see AND FEEL all the good and love you gave to others.  That cause-and-effect also applies to each day while living on earth.  By the way, we say ‘create’ versus ‘co-create’ because higher energy assistance is a given.  (#14, 45, 112)

Although none of the above is apparent when you rely on just your five senses, very high degrees of certainty exist about ‘The Great News’ . 

  • Statements #1 and 2 are based on scientific research collected at the University of Arizona using controlled, blinded, replicated, and multi-centered studies that were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. (article #1)
  • Statement #2 is also based on double-blinded laboratory research with results published in five universities or institutes.
  • Statements #3 – 10 are based on clinical datafrom physicians, psychologists, and / or university professors in the fields of: near-death experiences, past life memories, perinatal experiences, life between lives, shared crossings, terminal lucidity, and deathbed visions.  (#60)
  • In addition, experiential evidence from firsthand experiences – although not validated like scientific and clinical evidence –lends further credence to items #1 – 10.  This category of evidence includes: after death contacts, out-of-body experiences, electronic voice phenomena / instrumental transcommunication, and other firsthand experiences.  (#115)

In summary, statements #1 and 2 have a very high degree of certainty for being true, and #3 – 10 are quite probably true.

Another piece of great news is that you will very likely be able to use SoulPhone technology in the future to communicate with postmaterial loved ones and luminaries.  Like other items in ‘The Great News’, this may sound too good to be true — but it’s not.  Research and development at the University of Arizona is steadily moving toward this reality.  

The goal is to create a SoulPhone to keep in touch with dear ones via text, talking, and teleconferencing.  This will allow close communication as you now do with loved ones who live in distant countries.  In addition, the technology is anticipated to enable input from scientists, educators, leaders, and others who were geniuses while on earth.  They want to help us to make our world a better place.  (SoulPhone.org)

Remembering ‘The Great News’ allows you to:

  •  survive and thrive through life’s biggest changes.

  • identify and fulfill your highest purposes

  • enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned

  • serve others and make the world a better place

  • and much more!
