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.

The Greater Reality
The greater reality is all that actually exists. The vast majority of it cannot be perceived by your five senses, but is nonetheless very real. It is a scientific fact that your senses, as amazing as they are, detect much less than one percent of reality. What is visible to the human eye is just a small fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For example, you can’t see ultraviolet or infrared lights even though instruments can measure them.
Reality is defined as the state of things as it actually exists. Because so much of reality escapes the senses, you likely have viewed life as though through a tiny pinhole and then wondered why things don’t make sense. As the old saying goes, “There is more to life than meets the eye.” Most people readily agree with this statement, but don’t realize its numerous wonderful implications.
Many of your current beliefs about what happens after bodily death may be based on religious teachings that you accept on faith. If so, we respect your beliefs; we also appreciate religious teachings that share common threads with other great wisdom sources. However, our perspectives are primarily based on contemporary knowledge and understandings from scientific, clinical and firsthand experience evidence. Some of these views correlate nicely with religious teachings, while others do not.
Many benefits accompany deeply knowing the contemporary evidence about the nature of reality. University-based, controlled, replicated, and multicentered research reported in peer-reviewed scientific journals now makes it very clear . . .
Life continues after bodily death!
(Please take a moment and let that great news settle in.) We will officially announce this life-transformative news in early 2021 after completion of multicenter studies at six universities and institutes, the book The SoulPhone Experiments, and publication of a seminal paper describing eight experiments in a prestigious scientific journal. However, I am writing this in July 2020 so you and your loved ones know it now.
In addition, much scientific, clinical, and firsthand experience evidence provides a high degree of certainty that you and everyone else . . .
- do not really ‘lose’ loved ones after their earthly bodies perish since you can reunite with them when you change worlds.
- can enjoy a continued, but different, relationship with them now.
- are an integral part of Source Energy / the Light now.
- receive assistance and guidance from sources variously described as angels, guides, master teachers, and higher energies.
- can have many different and, perhaps, simultaneous life experiences.
- create how heavenly/hellish your life feels by your predominant thoughts, words and deeds.
- are interconnected with other people, animals, nature, and all of life.
- have special purposes for experiencing being on this planet at this time.
None of the above is apparent when you rely on just your five senses. All of the above can assist having a more joyful, peaceful, and meaningful human experience. That’s why it’s so important to learn more about the greater reality.
The term greater reality living describes how you might choose to live as you expand your awareness about the totality of life. How would you live and treat others and yourself if you really knew that the great news listed above is quite probably true?
We pose this question because we do not pretend to know what this will mean for you. You and all people are unique and have special reasons for being just as you are in this exact moment. The book Greater Reality Living by Dr. Gary E. Schwartz and me can help you formulate your best answers. The Big Picture of Life – co-authored by Dr. Schwartz and Katta Mapes MA, MEd, and me – is a version of Greater Reality Living written for ages 10 -16 or so.
Living in more evolved ways is easier when you have a support system of kindred spirits who are also on the path of love, enlightenment, self-growth, and service to others. We encourage you to expand your circle of loving, open-minded, and service-oriented people. This is one benefit of online and local Greater Reality Living Groups.
Many people have expressed their desire to regularly meet with a group of such people. They want a nonjudgmental, safe, inclusive, and respectful place where they can share their personal experiences and discuss important topics.
Five keys to greater reality living – Learn, Internalize, Vitalize, Enjoy, Serve – can be remembered by the acronym L.I.V.E.S.:
- Learn the collective evidence for ‘The Great News’.
- Internalize this news deeply and profoundly.
- Vitalize and balance yourself holistically.
- Enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned.
- Serve others to help them – and yourself – and make the world a better place.
(Note: YOU under #4 refers to your higher self, total being, consciousness — what some call the soul. I make this distinction because the highest and broadest eternal version of you may have goals and missions that are different from what your temporary earthly self has.)
We offer insights, resources and hope for those who are searching and suffering, particularly if you are:
- grieving the passing of a loved one
- fearing your own bodily death
- struggling with the suicide of a dear one
- in the process of your body dying
- suffering with difficulties such as failed relationships, physical and/or mental symptoms, broken dreams, financial loss, lack of purpose, unemployment, social isolation, addicted loved ones, etc.
- considering suicide
- mourning the passing of a beloved pet
- wrestling with past cultural, educational, and/or religious teachings that don’t make sense to you now
- searching for sensible answers to life’s biggest challenges
- desiring to enjoy the greatest life you have envisioned and fulfill your purpose
- wanting to transform yourself and our planet for the better
Life continues after bodily death. That has now been definitively demonstrated scientifically!
I hope you take a little time to learn more of the evidence behind this statement and all the other great news listed above. That and applying the L.I.V.E.S. strategies for greater reality living consistently over time can improve every aspect of your earthly experience.
