Technology to Communicate with Deceased Loved Ones

I've been tuning into developments of the SoulPhone project for a while and it sounds like it's getting closer to being disclosed publicly. The plan is for this technology to prove life after death (yes I said prove) and to provide people with a device to communicate with loved ones in the spirit realm. Mark Pitstick is a speaker on podcasts about this technology and Dr. Gary Schwartz is the leading scientist. Dr. Schwartz and his team have been working on this technology since 2004 at the University of Arizona. I can see that they have been ramping up their website with information and updates to make it public-ready. https://www.thesoulphonefoundation.org/soulphone-update/

How did this project start? Dr. Gary Schwartz released a book in 2002 called The Afterlife Experiments where he performed triple blind scientific testing to test mediums and to provide evidence that the mediums were not frauds. Dr Schwartz admits that there are mediums that are frauds in the world but not all of them. He provided evidence that the mediums he tested were able to communicate with spirits. He wrote about the experiments and the results in his book. After completing the project, Dr. Gary Schwartz became colleagues with the mediums and the mediums would tell him, "Gary, Albert Einstein wants me to tell you that you are supposed to build technology to communicate with the spirit side."

Fast forward to 2004 when this project started, Dr. Gary Schwartz employed top mediums that have been scientifically tested like Suzanne Giesemann and Mark Anthony. The team also works closely with scientists on the spirit side they call the A Team, which includes Albert Einstein, David Bohm, and Nikola Tesla. Instead of the term "spirit", I will use the term "Post Material Persons (PMPs)" in this blog post because this is the term Dr. Schwartz's team uses on their project. They want to be scientific when discussing the topic and they want people to know this is serious.

The overall project is called SoulPhone and the devices they are developing to communicate with PMPs are called the SoulSwitch, SoulKeyboard, SoulVoice, and SoulVideo. Below is the description from their website (https://www.thesoulphonefoundation.org/soulphone-overview/):

SoulSwitch™

The SoulSwitch™ is a binary device to provide Yes / No responses from postmaterial persons. This technology won’t be a user service or device; rather, it will be a component of the SoulKeyboard.

SoulKeyboard™

A series of SoulSwitches will enable creation of a SoulKeyboard – much like a keyboard on any smart device.

This communication technology is envisioned first as a service then, perhaps, a take home device. It should allow you to type and text much like you can with your cell phone, pad, etc. Just think of how often many people text and email. Now imagine doing that with loved ones who have changed worlds.

The SoulKeyboard should also provide a great quality and quantity of contacts with postmaterial luminaries – scientists, educators, etc. who were geniuses while on earth.

SoulVoice™

The next anticipated service, device, and/or app is SoulVoice that allows you to hear and talk with those living ‘on the other side.’ If this sounds impossible, just consider current earthly technology that allows clear verbal communication with people on the other side of the world.

SoulVideo™

This technology should allow both video and audio contact much like present-day Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom. Audio-video conferencing is the next best thing to being together on earth. This device will allow continued relationships with those who have passed on, but definitely not passed away.

SoulVideo will also enable webinars with postmaterial luminaries who have a less obstructed view of reality. They have worked ‘on the other side’ to improve what they did while on earth. As Nikola Tesla said during one meeting with a highly evidential medium: ‘If you think what I invented on earth was amazing, wait until you see what I’ve been working on here!’

Very interesting right? As I've said in prior blog posts, PMPs are energy. So if PMPs are energy and scientists have devices now to detect energy then scientists can detect PMPs. Dr. Schwartz's team uses expensive equipment called a silicon photomultiplier technology which is a photon detector. I read the proof-of-concept papers provided by Dr. Schwartz below and the results were positive.

Based on interviews with Mark Pitstick, I'll try to summarize the technology. The photon detector technology displays on a computer screen if there's energy in the room. When no one is in the room the computer screen is dark but when the medium invites a PMP to enter, their energy forms on the computer screen. The medium will ask, please move left, please move right, please leave the chamber...etc and the light moves. This equipment is too expensive for the normal person to use so they used this as a basis to build equipment for the normal person to communicate with PMPs. I don't fully understand how communication outside of the simple yes or no will work but Mark mentioned that they could have some kind of letter chart where the PMP points to the letters or selects the letters in some way.

What's also interesting is that Mark mentioned that Albert Einstein and team across the veil are also doing work on their side as well. I'm assuming that on the spirit side it's not easy to communicate with humans and there are some "rules" about interacting with humanity. That is a subject I would be curious to hear more about. Mark mentioned that this A Team is very excited to help humanity evolve.

Dr. Gary Schwartz analyzing data

Even Dr. Schwartz will say that the best medium in the world can't ever be 100% accurate because of this brain we all have which acts as a filter and actually hinders our connection to the energetic universe. However, technology like this would be 100% accurate. Below is a quote from the SoulPhone website:

"Parallel efforts will continue on developing the Breakthrough SoulSwitch. BTSS is defined as a device that provides a nearly 100% accurate response in less than ten seconds. Perfecting this is required before beginning R & D on the SoulKeyboard. The keyboard will be the first commercializable service and, as we envision now, later a device for texting and typing with postmaterial loved ones."

This is the latest update for March 2025 on their website: Below events are anticipated to occur in the autumn of 2025.

a. public announcements of scientific proof that life continues after bodily death

b. public demonstrations of the best current postmaterial communication technology

Mark explained that the team will move slowly with releasing the technology in order to also educate the public at the same time. The purpose of this is for humanity to mature and evolve our consciousness in alignment with new technology.

How would the world change if everyone on the planet knew for certain that there is an afterlife and that we are more than these physical bodies? How would society change if each and every person could get answers directly from the spirit realm?
