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.

When You Encounter Loss
Admittedly, I was brain weary after doing ‘spirit’ communication research and data analysis many hours per day for many weeks. I left the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness & Health at the University of Arizona to have a lunch break with some new friends. After a wonderful meal of Indian food with Jeff and Lynn, I pulled out my wallet to pay. Jeff insisted it was their treat so I put my billfold back into my sweater pocket.
Several hours later, I reached for my wallet but couldn’t find it. You know that feeling. I went through all the steps: revisited the restaurant, asked the staff, patrolled the parking lot, looked in trashcans, searched the car three times, reported the lost credit cards, contacted the police, etc. Nothing.
I had lost my wallet, $270 cash, 3 credit cards, driver’s license, Medicare card, and more. At first, I experienced typical reactions: discouragement, frustration, self-blame, incredulity, and a little anger at myself.
After two hours, I remembered . . . there always are blessings to every adversity. The question is whether and how soon we look for and implement them.
I had done everything I could to find my wallet. Now my task was to let it go and find the silver linings. I took a few minutes to create a list of blessings . . .
- My fiancé Andy was in Europe by herself at the time. Perhaps hearing about my loss made her be more cautious and prevented a similar loss or a more serious event.
- Old karma? Perhaps I was a pick-pocket in another time and place. If so, perhaps losing my wallet burned away some old lower energies.
- An opportunity to accept responsibility. I had taxed my brain so much for so long that I didn’t pay attention to an important detail.
- A chance to forgive the person who found it and didn’t report it to the police.
- Maybe the new owner of my wallet needed the money more than I.
- I may have had a disabling or fatal auto accident if I had been driving elsewhere besides back to the restaurant to look for it.
- Gratitude for being financially well off, having emergency cash, and having a great support system.
- A new moment in which to have more compassion for those who don’t have #7.
- A chance to encourage others to be cautious and have a safety net.
- A great test to see how much I have evolved.
- A drill to see how long it took me to practice what I teach.
- This was a very minor loss compared to what many people go through.
- Gratitude for never having lost my wallet before.
- It’s not that big a deal in the long run.
- A chance to focus on life’s big picture. For example, I had finished my second day of conducting research with two post-material persons. How important is that compared to losing my wallet?
- A reminder that being happy is a moment to moment decision. I’ve met happy poor people and unhappy rich people. I decided to not let losing a wallet make me unhappy.
- Motivation to write this article and help others.
I took a long walk, did some yoga, and meditated so negative emotions didn’t lodge in my body. That helped me realize that I needed to accept it and move on.
The most wonderful blessing – that wouldn’t have occurred if I hadn’t lost my wallet – occurred five days later. For the first three days, a rubber band secured some cash and a business card with my emergency info on it.
After receiving a new credit card, I upgraded to a clear plastic snack-size baggie.
Accepting that my wallet was really gone, I stopped by a store to buy a new one. They didn’t carry them but I bought some batteries that I needed.
As I stood in the check-out line, I noticed that the cashier – an elderly but robust African-American woman – had positive interactions with each customer. Her love and light shined so brightly that each person left with a smile. I commented on how she brightened the day for others. Upon hearing that, she put one hand over her heart and pointed upward. “That’s God. Everyday, I pray: ‘Lord, help me help others.’”
As I started to pay, I showed her my ‘baggie billfold’. “Pretty pitiful, eh?” I said.
But she had a better perspective and obviously was a wise teacher. “Honey, that’s not pitiful. It’s just what you got to do for awhile.”
Her statement struck me as one of the wisest I’ve heard: “It’s just what you got to do for awhile.” I realized that could apply to all of us. We each are integral parts of the universe and eternal beings of light, love, energy, and much more. But living on earth with its accompanying spiritual amnesia can be very tough at times. Sometimes we forget life’s big picture and, as such, act in ways not congruent with our high natures.
No one else was in line so we just chatted for a while. An instant love connection with a person who was a stranger ten minutes earlier.
That may be more than you wanted to know about my wallet. But here’s the great news . . . unlike my wallet – YOU CAN NEVER LOSE A LOVED ONE OR YOURSELF.
I never saw that wallet and its contents again. But when you think you ‘lose’ loved ones – people or pets – you can be sure that you will see them again.
It is my conscious belief – an automatic ‘set point’ – that Universe / Life / One Mind is loving, fair, and supportive. I also believe – based on personal experience and much evidence – that I have everything I need to handle all life’s challenges with style.
You’re welcome to borrow these core beliefs and try them out when you encounter loss.
Here’s my new and improved wallet. Similarly, you and your dear ones get a new and improved body – and much more – after your current earth-suit dies. I hope this article helps you see the big picture of life more of the time, even during challenging times when you encounter loss.
