1.Dr. Schwartz has sufficient time, energy, and mental bandwidth to handle one or the other, but not both.  Given that, the obvious question is: 'Why not hire another scientist so a practical switch AND optimal public demonstration can be developed?'  The answers to that include: 

   a. There are relatively few scientists who have the training and inclination to join this research.  Many scientists don't believe in life after death because of their materialist assumption that conscious is a temporary by-product of the brain.  That is, they believe that the mind / life-force perishes when the human body does.  

   b. Another reason that many academics aren't open to survival of consciousness research is the result of a historical schism between science and religion.  Some scientists have been censured, imprisoned, or killed.  Further, religious teachings about Creator (a big man in the sky) and the afterlife (heaven or hell forever) seem understandably ridiculous to those who think for themselves.  

   c. The few scientists who would and could assist the project are incredibly busy with their own projects.  Others fear losing funding and faculty status if they would associate with the SoulPhone Project.  

   d. Training another scientist, if one could be found, would require much time and energy for Dr. Schwartz to complete.  

   e. Funding is adequate for our current team and lab space.  However, much more funding would be required for another scientist and space.    
 

2. Another reason to focus on developing a practical SoulSwitch -- versus creating public demonstrations -- is that current switch technology requires many minutes of data collection and analysis before an accurate Yes / No answer can be provided.  That answer would be shown with objective measures of graphs and statistics.  We believe this would not be satisfactory to many people, especially in this era of unbased accusations of 'fake claims' and possible AI-influenced results.  

3. Several devices that seemed promising during R & D over the last several years did not work out.  In each case, the same challenges surfaced: technology sensitive enough to detect the energy / signal of a PMP was inherently prone to false positives.  With one device, random 'micro current discharges' from the device decreased the ability to identify true signals from another realm.  In another, consciousness of earthly experimenters and otherworldly test pilots significantly affected outcomes.  (If reaching the goals of this project were easy, someone else would have achieved it by now.)

4. Safety and security are other reasons to delay public demonstrations.  Just as on earth, nefarious postmaterial persons (PMPs) appear to exist.  Malicious people on earth and in the afterlife could conceivably collaborate and use the technology to hurt others if they had access to it.  Current R & D is focused on ultra-safe and secure technology that should not be vulnerable to malicious intent.  

I know that we have stated that public demonstrations of the SoulSwitch were likely for the last 5 years.  That was scheduled to happen in 2020 before you know what happened.  However, that involved the device mentioned in #2 above and wouldn't be the best first impression.  We decided to wait until we have the requisite infrastructure and results that are unsassailable except to close-minded skeptics.   

Dr. Schwartz's seminal paper for a scientific journal will be submitted this month.  This provide data from mutliple experiments that definitively prove that life continues after bodily death.  Keeping in mind that this paper is written for other scientists, here is an excerpt from the Abstract:
 

Using an innovative computer-automated system employed structured questions and analyses based on event related potentials, a multi-center, multi-blinded, randomized control trials methodology employing hypothesized participants (HPs) is presented. Replicated findings are reported from large sample validation experiments involving 1504 experimental sessions versus 864 matched control sessions (p <.0001).
 

(Rest assured that a book for non-scientists will discuss results and ramifications in a more easy-to-read and understand way.)  

I will send out a newsletter every 2 months to answer questions, but not to provide technology details.  I provided the above information in hopes you will understand why this is the case.  

The biggest way you can help the project is to learn and tell others about the Greater Reality Healing, Living, and Helping Program.  This helps people prepare for the predictable paradigm shift after: 

     * widespread announcements of scientific proof of life after death 

     * public demonstrations of optimal SoulSwitch technology that provides Yes / No responses from postmaterial loved ones and luminaries.  

Fine-tunin g yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually allows you to assist others during the upcoming new era for humanity.  As described in article #131 The Greater Reality Healing, Living & Helping Program, now is the time to integrate 'The Great News' into your daily life and help others do the same.  (See article #19 'The Great News about the Nature of Reality')

Q: My main reason for signing up for this mailing list was for updates on the SoulPhone Project that seems to have been stalled for years now.  I wanted it to succeed!  What progress has the project made in the past two or three years? 

A: I understand your concern and frustration.  No one wants this project to succeed more than the team of Dr. Schwartz, electrical engineers, software specialists, evidential research mediums, and the A-Team.  I hope that the information above answers your question.  Thomas Edison and his team found thousands of way to NOT perfect an electrical lightbulb before they succeeded.  Unfortunately, discovering what doesn't work before finding what does work can be part of the scientific process.  

Q: In an interview, you mentioned the Expert Knowledge Test that Dr. Schwartz and the SoulPhone Project team were planning to carry out. Has this test been completed?  Positive results on this test would 'seal the deal' for me.  
 

A: Thanks for your interest.  Expert Knowledge Tests were envisioned to be the fourth set of evaluations given to postmaterial test pilots.  The first three, all using the Plasma Globe / Tesla Coil sensor system, included: 

            
     1. Operator Skills Tests showed that test pilots could interact with the device being used by putting a hand over the sensor or whatever task was involved.  Part of this test was aimed to discover if PMPs – those in the next phase of life – could remember the English language and follow directions.  Multiple experiments demonstrated that this was child's play to them.     

            
     2. Cognitive Understanding Tests demonstrated that PMPs still remembered key concepts from life on earth.  For example, could they still differentiate between vehicles and animals?  A-Team test pilots, all of whom were legendary pioneers in their fields, endured many hours of viewing pictures of animals and vehicles and answering which was which.  Our understanding, through multiple evidential research mediums, was that they were glad to endure this for the potential hugely positive benefits that lay ahead.  

     3. Personal Identification Tests involved four test pilots who were chosen to participate.  We found ten details about each of them: date of birth, city of birth, father's name, mother's name, and other details.  (The one that gave me goosebumps was asking the date of their bodily death.  That's not usually a question we can ask someone.)  

The details to those questions are not well known; we had to look up almost all of them.  For example, do you know the name of Dr. David Bohm's mother?  (He was, and still is, a legendary quantum physicist and contemporary of Einstein.)  How about the name of the town where Nikola Tesla was born?  

Each test pilot was presented with ten questions and was asked to answer Yes / No.  The questions were mixed up so that some were correct for the person being tested while others weren't.  Even so, each of the test pilots answered 100% correctly.  The chances of that happening by chance are astronomically slim.  

One benefit of this test is additional verification of the identity of PMPs we work with.  Many people have asked how we can be sure that we aren't dealing with a malicious imposter.  The Personal Identification Test is one way to do that.  

     4. Expert Knowledge Tests, as you say were planned to be completed several years ago.  However, a series of events – as discussed above – delayed those.   This level of testing will involve asking Yes / No questions about erudite details of their knowledge.  For example, quotes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity could be posted and the question asked 'Did you write this?'  We look forward to running these tests using optimal SoulSwitch technology as soon as possible given the factors discussed above.  
 

Stay tuned and thanks again for sharing the Greater Reality Healing, Living & Helping Program with others.
