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 free articles and radio shows mentioned are available at SoulProof.com.  To learn more about the collective afterlife evidence and The Great News, read Soul Proof, The Afterlife Evidence, Greater Reality Living (co-authored with Dr. Schwartz) and The Big Picture of Life (for ages 10 – 16 written with Schwartz and Katta Mapes MA, MEd).  To experience expanded states of consciousness to optimally heal and transform your life, use audio sessions under Shop at SoulProof.com.

The Big Picture of Life

I recently showed my new book The Big Picture of Life – coauthored with Gary Schwartz PhD and Katta Mapes MA, MEd – to my twin eleven-year old granddaughters. 

We discussed that there is much to life than meets the eye.  Then we looked at pictures of the Empire State building and a coat of paint.  

Why? 

Because if all that exists were the height of the Empire State Building, the portion the average human can sense would be the height of a coat of paint

If you do the math, that means most people detect less than 1/1000 of one percent of reality.  I explained to the girls that many of life’s toughest questions and challenges are due to habitually looking at life as though through a tiny pinhole

I shared that ‘the big picture of life’ was our term to describe the fullness of life.  And I told them that sensing more of Life – even a little bit more – is a HUGE key to having a more happy, peaceful, and successful earthly experience. 

And then they posed one of the most important questions that can be asked:  

                                  ‘How can we see more of the big picture of life?’

Can you imagine how much more wonderful our world is becoming and will be as more children – of all ages – learn sensible and evidence-based answers to this ultra-meaningful question? 

There are other ways to term this.  Some of the most common are. . .  

  1. How can I become enlightened?

  2. How can I awaken to All That Is?

  3. How can I see the Light?

  4. How can I get happy feet? (this was a phrase from comedian Steve Martin that didn’t really catch on in theological circles)

Dr. Schwartz and I wrote the book Greater Reality Living.  The term ‘greater reality’ is our preferred way of describing of the totality of reality.  The phrase ‘greater reality living’ invites people to consider how they might live differently when they really know that bodily death is not the end of life. 

As such, another way to frame the question ‘How can we see more of the big picture of life?’ would be ‘How might we best live now that life after death has been definitively demonstrated scientifically?’  

Before I share ways you can perceive more of the fullness of life, here are some of the wonderful benefits that accompany an expanded worldview.  (Benefit #1 has now been clearly shown in replicated, multicenter, controlled, and peer-review published scientific studies at the University of Arizona.  Benefits #2 – 9 can be inferred with a very high degree of confidence given the collective scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence.) 

Benefits of seeing more of the big picture of life include more deeply knowing that. . . 

1. You and everyone else continue living after your human form dies.

2. You do not really ‘lose’ loved ones after their earthly bodies perish. You can reunite with them when you change worlds, and continue a different relationship with them now.

3. You are an integral part of Source Energy / the Light right now.

4. You receive assistance and guidance from sources variously described as angels, guides, master teachers, and higher energies.

5. There may be an exquisite timing to, and meaning behind, your life’s events.

6. You can have many and, perhaps, simultaneous life experiences.

7. You create how heavenly or hellish your life feels by your predominant thoughts, words and deeds.

8. You are interconnected in sacred ways with other people, animals, nature, and all of life.

9. You have special purposes for experiencing being on this planet at this time.

Does that motivate you to learn more?

In Greater Reality Living, Dr. Schwartz and I created the L.I.V.E.S. formula to describe our recommendations for seeing more of the greater reality and living accordingly.  (A similar set of suggestions for ages 10 – 16 is shared in The Big Picture of Life.)  You’ll want to read one or both if you are serious about improving your earthly experience. 

Five keys to greater reality living – Learn, Internalize, Vitalize, Enjoy, Serve – can be remembered by the acronym L.I.V.E.S.:

  1. Learn the evidence that life continues after your human form dies.

  2. Internalize the great news that you are a forever being.

  3. Vitalize and balance yourself holistically.

  4. Enjoy the many benefits of greater reality living.

  5. Serve others to help them – and yourself – and make the world a better place.

Learning and applying this new information for awakened living requires some time.  But experiencing heaven on earth in new and profoundly deep ways is easily worth it.  If life is like a game, then knowing and showing your highest self is the master game. 

In addition to the books listed above, the resources below – free articles and inexpensive transformational audio products – to assist your path toward more enlightened living.  (I’ve listed the articles instead of including all the information in the article so it’s more clear and concise.)

1. Learn the evidence: see articles #1 and 60 at SoulProof.com

2. Internalize the great news: depending on your history and current life status, different articles may be more important. The goal is to help you heal old wounds, release needless fears, and upgrade erroneous teachings that can block internalizing the great news of life after death and all the benefits.  For example . . .  
a. If you are a bereaved parent, article #2 will help you begin transmuting your pain and suffering into higher energy emotions and honoring your child. 

b. If a loved one’s body (your loved one him or herself can’t really die) perished by suicide or murder, see article #4 or 27. 

c. If you were mentally, physically, and/or sexually abused see article #49.

d. If a beloved pet’s earthly shell died and your optimal unfoldment is hampered by sadness and loneliness, see article #22. (Some people are closer to their pets than most humans.)

e. If you aren’t currently facing difficulties such as those above, see articles # 9, 13, 17, 20, 25, 29, 42, 46, 49, 59, and 67.

f. Audio-products to help you more deeply internalize all this great news include: Holistic Breathing Technique, Pre-Birth Planning and/or Past Life Regression.  

3. Vitalize yourself holistically:
a. Depending on what imbalances you are addressing, see articles # 12, 26, 32, 33, 37, 38, 40, 41, 43, 51, 54, 64, and 66.

b. To gain greater clarity about how you can fine-tune yourself in body, mind, and spirit, access your inner wisdom with the Ask Your Soul technique.

c. The Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness technique can help you release accumulated negative emotions.

4. Enjoy the many benefits: steps #1 – 3 and 4 can help you enjoy the nine benefits listed above more fully.

5. Serve others and yourself:
a. article #21 to learn how to identify and fulfill your soul’s missions

b. #45 to consider how your life review would be if you passed on today and how you can improve it now

c. #50 encourages you to consciously choose action over discouragement

d. #58 helps you not take life’s challenges too seriously

e. #67 helps remind you that all people are interconnected and part of one big family.

I hope this article helps you more deeply know and show that this brief earthly experience is a totally safe, meaningful, and magnificent adventure amidst forever.
