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.

Identify and Fulfill Your Highest Purposes
“How can I know my highest purpose?” is a very common and important question.
Margaret, an older female in North Carolina, told my workshop group that she didn’t know what her mission was. “I’ve tried and tried to figure it out,” she stated, “and I can’t come up with anything.”
In an attempt to help clarify her life purpose, I asked how she spent her time. “That’s just it” she said. “Over the last seven years, I’ve helped eight friends and family members who were very ill. I stayed with them until they passed on. I’ve been so busy that I don’t have time to figure out my soul’s missions.” The group began to laugh as the woman heard what she just said and experienced an ‘aha’ moment.
If only all questions were so easy to solve.
Other terms that describe the process of identifying and fulfilling your missions include:
- following your highest calling
- creating the greatest life of your dreams
- following your bliss
- sharing your greatest gifts
- shining as brightly as possible
- singing all your heart songs
- doing what you – as a timeless being of energy and consciousness – came to earth to do
Realizing your true nature as a deathless being of awareness bestows many gifts. One is trusting yourself enough to follow your highest calling. And what clearer way could your inner self / Creator / Life reveal your unique path than by what you enjoy and are passionate about? As Joseph Campbell said: “If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there the whole while, waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.”
Follow your heart and do what you feel called to do. Trust your intuition, that wise inner voice that guides you about every aspect of your life. You deserve to enjoy the greatest life of your dreams AND the world needs your brightest light.
The pieces of the world’s puzzle will fall in place as more and more people — starting with you and me —pursue their bliss. It’s like the old hide the button game: when you’re enthusiastic, you’re getting hotter.
You chose, hopefully in alignment with divine order, important missions before you came to earth. Clues to those missions are revealed by your innermost dreams and desires. Some people – especially beginner souls – might think that riches, sex, fame, and attractiveness are the goal of life. But many people have pursued those and found an existential emptiness.
People eventually find, whether on earth or beyond, that what really counts is love, peace, joy, meaning, gratitude, enthusiasm, and other higher energy emotions / ways of being. It’s fine to enjoy prosperity, pleasure, recognition for your accomplishments, and looking your best. Just remember that those can go away, but the prior list cannot.
You and everyone else have life visions and special talents to share. Universe supports everyone, especially those who intend to bring peace, joy, love and light to the fore in their lives and on earth.
Identifying and fulfilling your highest missions is not just lofty, impractical spiritual advice. It’s useful information that can increase the quality and, likely, the quantity of your life. For example, the most common time for heart attacks for men is early Monday morning. Day after day, year after year of following a path that’s not in alignment with your inner purpose can eventually impact your anatomical heart.
I’ve counseled a number of persons who hated their work, but were afraid to follow their bliss. “After I retire, then I’ll start that little business I’ve always dreamed of,” they say. When I ask about their life’s dream, they invariably pause for a moment. Then their eyes light up as they describe what they would do “if only . . .”
All person can discover why they are on earth at this time. They can identify their highest callings whether those seembig or small. Doing so, at least part-time, is one key to experiencing heaven on earth.
Attending to your missions is usually a multi-dimensional process. Most people have numerous roles in life: family member, significant other, friend, worker, church member, community participant, and individual. Following your bliss usually doesn’t mean forsaking all other roles and just focusing on one aspect.
However, balancing all roles may not be possible at times, especially for certain callings. For example, consider a scientist working on a breakthrough invention to help many people. The time and intensity demands may require – at least for a while – prioritizing responsibilities instead of fulfilling all roles impeccably.
Doing what you came to earth to do can be challenging, but it’s possible. Making a commitment to identify and pursue your greatest dreams is a first step. Some people have the circumstances and chutzpah to make abrupt changes and pursue their missions full time. Others may choose to make a more gradual transition over time. Whichever path you choose, start now!
Let yourself dream for a moment using your fullest imagination, then answer this question: “If you knew you could not fail, how would you live?” Let the images flow and feel the excitement as, perhaps for the first time, you become aware of your highest callings. Following them will put you in touch with the joy and purpose that is your birthright.
At the same time, be wise about it. A Middle Eastern saying about this is: “Trust Allah, but tie up your camel.” Daily living requires a certain income to survive so don’t rush off and quit your day job prematurely. Stay with your current work and expand your services until you naturally grow into your higher calling.
Fulfilling your soul’s missions may occur in stages. Even during my middle-aged years, I struggled with ‘what I want to be when I grow up.’ But I didn’t quit searching, growing, and doing all I could. In my sixties, I feel the greatest fulfillment ever now that I am sharing Soul Proof, Radiant Wellness, SoulPhone, and Greater Reality Living outreaches with many people. But it took decades to reach that level so be persistent AND patient.
To begin identifying your soul’s purpose, close your eyes, let yourself become relaxed, and ask for assistance from God and the Heavenly host. Give thanks for guidance and assistance in realizing your soul’s missions. Then listen closely for that still small voice within. Note any clues that arise spontaneously such as words, pictures, feelings, colors, people and places. Now answer the following questions by noting the very first responses that spontaneously arise:
- What are you naturally good at?
- What would you do if money were no object?
- What would you do if you had only one year to live?
- What would you do without pay because you enjoy it?
- What do you read and talk about in your spare time?
- What chokes you up, gives you goose bumps, cold chills, and tears in your eyes or pressure over your chest?
- How do you feel called to assist others and global transformation?
My audio product Identify and Fulfill Your Purpose AND Enjoy Your Greatest Life uses deep relaxation, visualization, and my guidance to help you. You can use this technique at home and record your answers to each question.
Don’t think that your soul’s mission has to single-handedly change the world. The old church hymn, “Brighten the corner where you are” lends a hint. Do the best you can within your sphere of influence and know that’s enough. Let your compassionate heart show you who needs help and how. And don’t forget to put yourself on your list of priorities.
Someday you will fly away from this demanding but wonderfully instructive classroom. Until then, you have special missions and purposes to share in this time and place. Your task is to learn, love, serve, enjoy and leave this planet a better place than when you arrived. Why not do so with style and grace while clearly remembering your magnificent soul nature!
