Soul Phone Newsletter February 2024

Our current thinking is that DSS technology will be used in the following ways:

1. Beta testing with material persons.  Material persons’ (MPs) are defined as those living on earth now.  We don’t say ‘humans’ because PMPs — those who have passed on — are still human in very meaningful ways.  The DSS device must first be tested with MPs to calibrate, detect and correct ‘glitches’, and ensure sufficient robustness of the system.

2. Beta testing with A-Team members.  That is our term for a group of 30 or so scientists, educators, dynamic entertainers, and a few ‘more ordinary’ people.  Some of these luminary PMPs have worked with Dr. Schwartz for 20 years.  We are, needless to say, ultra-excited to collect data with them using a Yes / No signal detection device.

3. Beta testing with ‘more ordinary PMPs.  This research with the DSS is important since all of the testing so far has been with A-Team members.  We want to evaluate how well our relatives and other dear ones can use the equipment.  This step is especially important before starting #7 – .

4. Scientific research to hopefully gain input from A-Team members that assists development of SoulKeyboard, SoulAudio, and SoulVideo devices.

Later, multi-center studies will be conducted at universities around the world.  (We were going to do this several years ago with the Tesla Coil Switch but wanted to wait for the current DSS device which is much better.)  Obtaining this level of replication will greatly increase credibility and further introduce academics to Soul Science topics.

5. Clinical research to advance communication with PMPs.  This will initially focus on A-Team members and our evidential research mediums.  This collaboration will allow greater contact with them and, hopefully, a greater quantity and quality of input that goes beyond Yes / No answers.

6. Clinical research to learn more about the afterlife.  We have so many questions about what the next phase of life is like.  For example, some evidence indicates that the next realm varies, depending on a number of factors, for different people / souls.  But is that really true?  (To learn more, see article #107 What Is the Afterlife Like?)

One way to start would be to survey 20 PMPs about the same question.  Questions might include: ‘Do you have to sleep?  Do you have to eat food?  Is there always great weather where you are?  Can you multilocate?  Do you have concrete plans for helping us on earth?’  The list goes on and on.

7. ‘Thank You’ sessions for project volunteers.  We anticipate that this will occur concurrently with #4 – 6.  Some of these volunteers have helped for over seven years and this is one way to thank them.  These sessions will also allow us to further test the technology and create a more satisfactory customer experience before #8.

8. ‘Thank you’ sessions for Ambassador level donors.  (To learn more about this gift and many others to our donors, visit Membership & Donations at SoulPhone.com.)  The SoulPhone project has been able to move forward because of substantial donations from a relatively small group of people.  (We hope that providing DSS sessions will motivate others to donate so we can proceed more quickly with SoulKeyboard R & D.)

These visionary funders, who donated $10,000 or more, will receive — depending on the amount of their donations — one or more DSS sessions with a PMP loved one.  This level of contact will likely trigger a profoundly life-changing event and help them know that their loved ones are very much alive, well, and in touch.  (see article #17 Spiritually Transformative Experiences).

We eventually will provide pro-bono sessions — most likely with the SoulKeyboard — for those who cannot afford to donate anything.  However, we don’t currently have the luxury of doing this.  Demo SoulSwitch sessions are largely for research and ‘thank you’ to past donors.)

9. Demonstrations to potential large donors.  Some newsletter subscriber complain that I discuss funding too much.  I can understand their concern since some / most companies are so focused on money.  However, the SoulPhone Project is primarily funded through two non-profit foundations: the SoulPhone Foundation and the University of Arizona Foundation.  This work is very expensive; we can currently only proceed at a walking pace but we are thankful for that.  However, better results can be achieved more quickly with greater funding.  We hope that, after a DSS, people with great wealth will donate larger amounts so we can do this.

10. Demonstrations to the public.  First impressions count so we will only publicly demonstrate the best possible and thoroughly tested technology.

Regarding time lines, Dr. Schwartz hopes to show the Demo SoulSwitch at a large conference in August of this year.  As you can see, there is much to do before then, but we are excited to finally reach this level of the work.
