Dear SoulPhone family, Everything continues to progress well with R & D by Dr. Schwartz and his research team.  They are working to create a more accurate, rapid, and secure SoulSwitch device.  There's not much I can share at this time but stay tuned.  We still anticipate that two events will occur later this year: official announcments of scientific proof of life after death public demonstrations of the best current [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,  My newsletter yesterday elicited a lot of varied responses . . . so many that I can't respond to all of them separately.  As such, here's another newsletter to more fully and clearly explain this shift.  Yesterday's newsletter was, admittedly, a bit rushed but many people correctly read it as good news.  I had just found out from our CPA and attorney that I should make a number of changes. [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, We on the SoulPhone Project wish everyone a Happy Holiday as another year approaches.  It should be an extraordinary one for the project and all people. We especially want to thank all of you who have supported the project with donations small and large.  We wouldn't be where we are without your help. Note: Donating before the new year will expedite progress on the project AND probably [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, Everything is moving along VERY well with the SoulPhone Project.  In the last two months, Dr. Schwartz and his team have researched two different sensors to use for the SoulSwitch.  Both are 92% smaller and 99% less expensive than the device developed over the last 3 years. In addition, the response time for these new sensors is faster than before.  All this - miniturizaton, significantly lower cost, [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, What an exciting time to be on earth!  Everything is moving along well with the SoulPhone Project.  The first transportable SoulSwitch device is being lab tested and will soon be ready for beta testing. Last month, Dr. Schwartz and I presented to 1100 parents at the Helping Parents Heal conference (HPH) in AZ.  They were very comforted and inspired to hear about the irrefutable science that now [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, Good progress continues on the Demonstration SoulSwitch (DSS).  (Long-time subscribers know that I can't share too many details but it's all good news.) Note: To learn more about DSS technology, visit Anticipated SoulPhone Devices. To learn more about levels of beta testing the rest of this year, click here: February 2024 SoulPhone News.

Dear SoulPhone family, I am pleased to share good news about the SoulPhone Project directed by Gary E. Schwartz PhD, former Harvard and Yale professor who is now a senior professor at the University of Arizona.  Excellent progress has been achieved with both software and hardware needed for the Demonstration SoulSwitch (DSS).  Our wonderful team of electrical engineers and software specialists have worked diligently on this historic task. We are very grateful [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, Progress continues for developing software and hardware for the Demonstration SoulSwitch.  (This device is not the breakthrough switch required for moving into R & D on the SoulKeyboard.  See Anticipated SoulPhone Devices to learn more.) As usual, the pace is slower than we would like due to unexpected complications and pioneering steps toward development.  But the final outcome should be well worth the wait.  Here's a recent note in [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, We've reached an exciting fork in the road with the SoulPhone Project.  Dr. Schwartz and his team of software specialists and electrical engineers are now pursuing two parallel paths with research and development (R & D).     The information in the next two paragraphs is useful for understanding those two paths.  The current 'Research SoulSwitch' device is larger, more expensive, and allows for testing a number [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, The last month has probably been the most fruitful one, on both the software and hardware sides, since the project began.  That's quite a statement that I'm glad to share.  Core engineers were positively giddy at what they were able to accomplish.   That progress was the result of brain-numbing research and learning from mistakes.  At one point, the head electrical engineer said 'This system is so [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,   I hope you and your loved ones are inspired and comforted by the great news that exists based on findings of the SoulPhone Project thus far.  These include definitive demonstrations scientifically that . . .   Life continues after bodily death.   Communication with at least some postmaterial (so-called 'departed') persons is possible as demonstrated by repeated experiments.   The SoulPhone technology will, quite likely, eventually [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,   Thanks very much for your patience and understanding during the last several months without a newsletter.  I hope to resume monthly updates from here on.  This month, I will answer four of the most common questions I've received since the last update.   You can be assured that everything continues to progress on the SoulPhone Project.  We are still working toward a practical SoulSwitch -- a [...]

Dear SoulPhone family, Here's a quick follow-up message to answer a question that a number of you have asked: Who is the Know and Show 'The Great  News' in Your Life! course designed for? That's a great question -- one that I should have addressed in my original message. This course is designed for those who are searching, serving, struggling, and suffering, especially if you are:      grieving the [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,   Thanks very much to all of you who sent prayers and well wishes.  I am 110% better after experiencing Covid.  I say 110% because I appreciate feeling great more after feeling so lousy.  In addition, I planned upgrades for my self-care program while recuperating and am following through on those.   (Its' amazing what a difference the basics make when done regularly.  For me, that list [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,   I finally got to experience Covid.  After 3 weeks, I'm 80% better.  However, I'm still having significant coughing, fatigue, and some brain fog.  The latter two symptoms are especially detrimental for assembling a newsletter. Thank you for understanding the lack of news this month.  I look forward to catching you up in September. Hugs, love, blessings, and postmaterial communication, Mark

Dear SoulPhone family, Jan Holden EdD, LPC-S, ACMHP is the President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS).  She recently emailed Dr. Schwartz and requested that we share news of an upcoming conference with our SoulPhone list. We responded to Dr. Holden: "The SoulPhone Foundation would be honored to send a dedicated email to our list about this important event.  We consider IANDS to be a 'sister' organization at the [...]

Dear SoulPhone family,   Progress on both the software and hardware sides of the SoulSwitch continues slowly but steadily.  We are heartened by these steps.  Dr. Schwartz says we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we're not through the tunnel yet.   Patents are being pursued to protect the IP (intellectual property) and rights of both earthly and postmaterial inventors.  All of this takes time [...]
