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.

All Lives Matter
More Americans now realize the extent of racial prejudice and injustice, and are taking action. In the process, it can look like chaos. Many involved are peaceful protestors, but some are taking advantage of a rightful cause to loot and destroy. The former is laudable while the latter isn’t acceptable.
The roots of the problem are complex. Likewise, solutions are difficult to consider in a fair and practical way. Mob mentality will elicit a backlash, not a thoughtful moving forward. Those who loot and destroy only strengthen false beliefs that most people of a certain color are bad.
What is the best way forward? For example, are reparations a good idea and will they make a lasting difference? If so, what is the threshold for receiving them? Skin color? DNA profile? There’s such a wide spectrum of both in most people.
What is reasonable about statues being taken down? Past leaders weren’t perfect, but who is? Where do we draw the line between preserving our history and removing reminders of mistreatment based on race?
I hesitate to write about this because some people on both sides of the issue are so reactive about this topic right now. People tend to form polarities and vigorously, even violently, defend their positions. For example, consider the title of this article. Black lives AND all lives matter.
I hope to further reasonable discussion and unitive solutions. I pray that my words will help others look at this with more tolerance and hope. I don’t pretend to have all the answers or solutions. I have five, but first some background so you know where I’m coming from.
* * * * * * *
I was blessed to grow up in a neighborhood that was half “white” and half “black.” (I used quotation marks around those terms because no one is really all white or all black. People who are differing shades of tan, light brown, medium brown, and dark brown are called black by some people.)
At a recent high school reunion, my friend Warren – a tall African American – reminded me that we held hands while walking to kindergarten together because we were scared. On other days, I walked with two or three African American girls and we talked and laughed all the way. I’ve been to African American funerals and been involved in weddings. (I was easy to spot in the line of best men of brothers who big afros.)
A dear friend in grade school was from Korea. Our Lutheran minister and his family were Chinese. During the last 30 years, I have become friends with three Native Americans who are spiritual wisdom teachers. In short, I grew up appreciating the richness and differences among different people.
And, as a result, I know that racism is more common than most realize. Friends in mixed race marriages experience negativity that ranges from stares to rude comments or worse. One of my godsons, a 6 ½ foot tall, 270 pound African American, is routinely pulled over in his neighborhood by the police. He is one of the most gentle, intelligent, loving, and creative people I know. The police ask, ‘What are doing in this (nice and largely white) neighborhood?’ He answers, “Going to my mom’s house just down the street.’ She is a physician with more degrees than me and we’ve been dear friends since junior high school.
Many years ago, she and I looked at all the racial strife – we were fifteen years old when Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered – and came up with a great plan. What if many people intermarried for just a few generations? After that, most people would be a beautiful cocoa brown and skin color would be an afterthought. It’s slowly happening. Notice the number of attractive biracial people with awesome looking eyes, facial structure, and other great features.
“Susan”, a long time patient of mine and 78 year-old retired RN, isn’t all white but clearly isn’t a single race. We were talking about racial injustice struggles in our nation and she said, “My grandmother was pure blood Cherokee. My father was part black and white. My mother was part white and part Native American. What does that make me? The blacks don’t want me, the whites won’t have me, and the Indians say ‘she doesn’t look like us.’”
Her comments reminded me of all the minor and major suffering caused by trivial differences in the amount and position of a pigment in the skin. How did such a relatively unimportant detail become such a big deal to so many people?
As we talked further, Susan said: “If you hear a baby crying in the room next door, you don’t hesitate to see if he or she is OK – you run over there to help the little one. And you certainty don’t think about whether it is a black, brown, red, yellow, or white-skinned baby before you move. People need to learn to give others a chance – no matter what their outward differences – instead of automatically reacting based on their skin color.
Similarly, my friend Bernie Siegel MD was a surgeon who has written eloquently about the uninformed stance of judging others by their skin color. ‘After I cut through the initial layer of skin’ he has said, ‘all the rest looks the same.’
It’s 2020, for God’s sake. Might we see more clearly what is truly important and live in peace?
* * * * * * *
In my 67 years on this planet, I’ve learned there are usually a few bad apples in every bushel. I’ve met many wonderful people, and just a few imbalanced ones, from every race. My friends and extended family are a beautiful assortment of color, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, age, gender, ethnicity, hair style, and other minor differences. I’m grateful to have learned what is really important at a young age and enjoy this diversity.
My five solutions . . .
- Look into people’s eyes, not just at their skin
- Give others a fair chance instead of making snap judgments based on how they look or what cause they support.
- Expand your world: take part in a peaceful protest, attend church services with people of different skin colors and beliefs, make new friends with those of different races, etc.
- Realize that skin color is not an accurate indicator of whether a person is good, loving, and peaceful.
- Treat others the way you would want to be treated: with love, respect, and caring.
The solutions to this one are really quite simple. Follow The Golden Rule. Great religious and philosophical teachers throughout time have shared the wisdom and benefits of loving our neighbors, ourselves, and Creator.
