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 A.R.T. Technique 

Several weeks after my dad changed worlds, I had a dream in which it seemed I was visiting with him.  The encounter was so wonderful and seemed so vivid.  We discussed my realization that I was dreaming, but agreed it was perhaps just as real as other perceptions of reality.

After awakening from the dream, I felt sad that I couldn’t see Dad with my physical eyes, feel his big bear hugs, or hear his voice with my ears.

I didn’t wallow in the sadness, though, and reminded myself that I would see him again someday.  Soon a new understanding seemed to be emerging—almost as if a gift were being conferred.   A question arose, seemingly out of nowhere: “What is the next step after acceptance?”  The words ‘appreciate, realize, and transform’ quickly came into my mind.

After receiving this “transmission”, I wondered if the first letters of each word spelled anything meaningful. I was pleasantly surprised to find that spelled ART.  “Make your life a work of art” is one of my favorite sayings.  Tears formed in my eyes with this personal indication that Dad’s visit had been more than my sleepy imagination.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD taught that the five stages of grief are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These usually do not arise in order and they can come and go over time.  Eventually, most people reach a state of acceptance that a loved one has passed on.

What happens after acceptance?  Are there other steps available as we evolve after enduring difficult changes?  Is it possible to reach acceptance sooner and with less pain by focusing on other higher energy emotions?

Achieving and moving beyond acceptance becomes possible when you really know that death is not an end, just a new beginning.  With that internalized knowledge, you can selectively focus on other emotions besides pain, grief, sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, fear, etc. that can accompany any “loss.”  You may feel these emotions, but you can also choose to. . .

  1. Appreciate all the blessings and lessons that came from that relationship.  Think of the many experiences you had with your loved one who is no longer in human form.  What a rich array of events, feelings, and memories that are yours forever.
  1. Realize that you will see each again when you pass on and that your relationship can continue now in a different way.  Also realize that your “departed” loved one is enjoying a dimension characterized by peace, joy, gratitude, and enthusiasm.
  1.  Transform each aspect of your life for the better as a result of having known this person.  Enjoy a spiritually transformative experience by more deeply knowing life and love are forever.  Honor their life by shining more brightly and serving others.  Focusing on appreciation and realization naturally increases your clarity and power.

This same formula can be used for every change and challenge in your life: terminated relationships, financial loss, health issues, aging, broken dreams—even your own death and dying.  All life events, even the sad and difficult ones, contain opportunities for you to appreciate, realize, and transform.

I share these insights to encourage you to use them and share with others.  Just imagine how our world will improve as more people make their lives a work of art!

This technique can help you release your fears and look life squarely in the eye every moment, no matter what is going on around you.  The more you use your physical and spiritual senses, the more you’ll behold love and light everywhere.  It’s the only presence and power that exists.

Increasingly, you’ll be able to sail through whatever life serves up.  You’ll remember that this brief earth-experience is a totally safe, meaningful, and magnificent adventure amidst eternity.  You’ll be able to share your greatest gifts and enjoy heaven on earth: joy, peace, loving relationships, prosperity, meaningful life work, radiant wellness, and enlightenment.
​​
Moving past the traditional stages of grieving and into the next stages helps you remember that life and love are forever.

And that’s when the real fun begins . . .
