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 SoulPhone Project
Gary E. Schwartz PhD is a senior professor at the University of Arizona where he directs the the SoulPhone Project at the Laboratory for Advancements in Consciousness and Health. Dr. Schwartz, formerly an assistant professor at Harvard and tenured professor at Yale, has presented more than 450 scientific papers, co-edited 11 academic books, and written 12 books for the general public.
As of 2022, he and a team of electrical engineers, software programmers, evidential mediums, and postmaterial collaborators have worked for 15 years to create ‘spirit’ communication technology. (Postmaterial is a term used to describe people whose earthly form has died. ‘Postmaterial persons’ no longer live in the material or earthly world that can be sensed by most humans.)
The SoulSwitch provides clear evidence that some ‘deceased’ persons can use the equipment to demonstrate their presence. The accuracy of this statement has been tested with (1.) the Operator Skills Test, (2.) the Personal Identification test, and (3.) the Cognitive Understanding test, and shows 80 – 90% replicability. The combination of these tests provides strong evidence of the reality of rudimentary interdimensional communication.
Note: In 2019 and 2020, a series of scientific studies at the University of Arizona definitively demonstrated that life continues after physical death. This is not an official announcement. That will occur in late 2021 after multi-center studies.
Does All This Sound Impossible To You?
I was born in 1953. At the age of ten, our phone number had only five digits. My grandparents had a “party line” but it wasn’t as much fun as the term suggests. If someone else was using the phone, you had to wait until they were done to make your call.
My dad worked for the telephone company for 35 years, so I was especially aware of how phone technology progressed. Back then, “switchboard operators” had to manually connect the two parties who wanted to speak.
When you were away from home, the only way to make calls was with a phone booth. Local calls only cost 10 cents whereas long distance calls required more change. You had to put in more money when your time was almost over if you wanted to keep talking.
Dick Tracy, a cartoon-character detective, had a futuristic wrist watch that worked like a phone and TV. I thought it was a great idea that would never happen because it seemed so impossible. After all, telephones were big bulky things that required a wired connection. And TVs were really huge and needed electricity and an antenna.
That was 1963. I would have considered you crazy if you told me about a phone that could be transported in a mere thirty years. But IBM came up with a prototype mobile phone in 1992.
SmartPhones are old news now. We take it for granted that a hand-sized, lightweight, and wireless device can make phone calls all over the world and allow us to see each other while talking. In addition, it takes wonderful photos, serves as a GPS, allows texting, stores photos, and much more.
A similarly rapid development is occurring again. We invite you to examine the information at SoulPhone.org with an open mind.
The transition from party lines and switchboard operators to the SmartPhone in just 30 years was amazing. The development of the SoulPhone to allow communication with postmaterial persons may seem even more mind boggling . . . but it’s happening.

SoulPhone® Project Overview
The SoulPhone™ refers to a combination of innovative and integrative technologies that are being developed by Dr. Schwartz and a team of colleagues affiliated with the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the University of Arizona. This comprehensive research program has been funded by a visionary consortium of donors.
The purpose of the program is to develop accurate technologies for communicating with postmaterial persons (PMPs). Some of them want to continue relationships and help us advance personal and planetary peace and wellness.
If such research sounds crazy or impossible to you, it may help to know that at least four esteemed 20th century scientists attempted to develop a similar technology. Alexander Graham Bell, early inventor of the telephone, worked to create a ‘Telephone to the Dead.’ Guglielmo Marconi, who invented the radio, attempted to develop a ‘Radio to the Dead’.
In the book Edison vs Tesla: The Battle Over Their Last Invention, Martin and Birnes state: “Edison’s little-known near-death experience formed his theory that animate life forms don’t die, but rather change the nature of their composition. It is this foundational belief that drove him to proceed with the spirit phone. Tesla monitored Edison’s paranormal work, with both men racing to create a device that picked up the frequencies of discarnate spirits …”
Certain hypothesized collaborating postmaterial persons (HCPs) have assisted the research by relaying crucial information through evidential mediums. For more information about their involvement, see Appendix G: Hypothesized Collaborators’ Involvement with the SoulPhone™.
The following tests were used during seven experiments using a Plasma Globe System to detect binary signals from postmaterial participants:
- Operator skills tests to evaluate the ability of postmaterial persons to correctly perform requested tasks
- Cognitive understanding tests to evaluate recall of earthly words and concepts. For example, postmaterial participants uniformly showed comprehension of the difference between mechanical vehicles and animals.
- Personal Identification tests to examine recall of details when the postmaterial participants lived on earth. Examples included asking for correct Yes / No responses to questions such as: Was your mother’s name ___? Were you born in ___? Did you write a book entitled ___?
Their mastery of the three tests has been repeatedly demonstrated in proof-of-concept studies. Collectively, these experiments show that it is feasible to create practical devices for postmaterial communication. The challenge has been to amplify their signals while minimizing background noise detected by ultra-sensitive equipment. In 2021, Dr. Schwartz and his team are working to develop a proof-of-practice device to be used for client services and, eventually, usable devices and / or apps.
Six experiments with over 1,500 sessions yielded over 1 trillion bits of data from postmaterial participants. Because of the extraordinary nature of these claims, equally extraordinary evidence was required. As of October 2021, a seminal paper on all studies to date has been submitted for a different scientific journal.
The SoulPhone includes four anticipated devices:
SoulSwitch™
This first device is a binary switch designed to allow PMPs to communicate with material persons by signaling ‘Yes / No’ answers. Experimenters can now demonstrate with whom they are in contact and show rudimentary binary communication. Accurate and reliable ‘Yes / No’ answers should allow a greater quality and quantity of input from HCPs to assist research and development of the next devices.
SoulKeyboard™
This device is expected to allow texting and typing with PMPs. Once a reliable and accurate SoulSwitch is available, design and development of the SoulKeyboard prototype can begin. This phase of the technology will use a combination of switches arranged in the format of a keyboard. When a switch is activated by a PMP, it is equivalent to a key being pressed by a material person operator. The SoulKeyboard should not require any new discoveries or inventions.
SoulVoice™
This device is envisioned to allow material persons to hear PMPs. The initial goal for this device will be to hear discernible ‘Yes / No’ spoken responses to questions. Subsequent work on this device should improve voice fidelity so that continuous speech can ultimately be detected and understood.
SoulVideo™
This stage of the SoulPhone will hopefully enable material persons to see visual images of PMPs. The goal is to detect and display moving images of PMPs on a TV or computer screen. The preliminary objective is to display an image, even if it is suboptimal or blurry. Further phases will refine the equipment and processing of the video signal to enhance the images. It is anticipated that the SoulVideo system can eventually be developed into a 3-D holographic version.
Several exciting advances with hardware and software development have occurred in 2021. Public demonstrations of the SoulSwitch will be given as soon as funding and security issues allow. We have created an infrastructure to help people ‘wrap their heads around’ these mind-boggling but scientifically based findings. These include:
- The Case for Truth by Dr. Schwartz and Alan D. Bourey JD
- Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence by Dr. Schwartz
- The Case for the SoulPhone by Dr. Schwartz, Rhonda Schwartz, and Dr. Pitstick
The goal of the SoulPhone Project is to provide safe, secure, reliable, and affordable ‘spirit’ communication devices. To learn more, visit SoulPhone.com.
SoulPhone technology should enable webinars with esteemed “deceased” luminaries. They are not suffering from human brain-induced limited sense perceptions as humans do and enjoy a more unobstructed view of life. In addition, they have been working on ways to improve what they were doing while living on earth. As Nikola Tesla purportedly said through one of the evidential research mediums: ‘If you think what I was inventing while on earth was amazing, wait until you see what I’ve been working on here!’
