It seems to have come out of a science fiction movie or a Philip K. Dick novel, and yet the SoulPhone It's a real project. It's a technology developed by Gary E. Schwartz, professor at the University of Arizona, who promises something extraordinary: enable communication with the consciences of the deceased, defined in the project as "postmaterial persons." The goal? To offer a concrete way to connect with those who have left the physical body but continue to exist in a different form.
In this article I will take you on a journey to discover one of the most fascinating and controversial projects of our time, analyzing:
- How the SoulPhone works and what devices are in development
- The scientific tests conducted
- The ethical and spiritual implications
- What does mainstream science think?
Who is Gary E. Schwartz: the father of the SoulPhone?
The project was born under the guidance of Dr. Gary E. Schwartz, psychologist and researcher, with a past as a teacher Harvard e Yale. He currently directs the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the 'University of Arizona, where the was started SoulPhone Project.
The team involved is multidisciplinary: electronic engineers, software developers, evidential mediums, and consciousness science researchers. Some collaborators, according to official statements, are no longer "material": in fact, they are talking about HPC (Hypothesized Postmaterial Collaborators), that is, disembodied consciousnesses who would have provided assistance in the planning phase through sensitive mediums.
What is SoulPhone?
Il SoulPhone it is therefore a research project led by Professor Gary E. Schwartz, teacher atUniversity of Arizona, with a prestigious academic background between Harvard and Yale. The goal? To develop technological devices that allow communication between "physical people" and postmaterial persons (PMPs), or those who have left the physical body.
We are not talking about parlor spiritualism, but about structured scientific research, based on repeatable experiments conducted by a team of electronic engineers, computer scientists, mediums and “postmaterial” collaborators.
The SoulPhone project includes four devices under development:
| Device | Main function |
|---|---|
| SoulSwitch | Binary communication (yes/no) with PMPs |
| SoulKeyboard | Text communication via virtual keyboard |
| SoulVoice | Voice communication (audible voice) with PMPs |
| SoulVideo | Viewing images/videos of PMPs |
Who is behind the SoulPhone Project?
At the helm we find the Dr. Gary Schwartz, a recognized authority in psychology and neuroscience, with more than 450 scientific publications. He is supported by a multidisciplinary team composed of:
- Electronic engineers
- Software programmers
- Professional mediums (evidence-based), such as Suzanne Giesemann
- Postmaterial Collaborators (HPCs)
This team works in the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the University of Arizona.
SoulPhone: What it is and how it works
The term SoulPhone It refers to a whole range of devices designed to interface with the post-mortem consciousness. To date, four prototypes are planned, each with increasingly advanced functions.
SoulSwitch – The scientific tests behind the project
Il SoulSwitch It is the first device actually tested. It works like a binary switch which allows “postmaterial people” to respond yes or no to simple questions. To make the claims credible in the eyes of science, the team conducted seven experiments using a system Plasma globeThe analyses involved over 1.500 sessions, generating more than a trillion bits of data.
Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in the laboratory through:
- Operator Skills Test - Ability to execute commands To assess whether a “postmaterial person” is able to activate devices with conscious intention.
- Cognitive Understanding Test - Semantic and logical understanding – To verify that PMPs understand human concepts such as the difference between an animal and a machine.
- Personal Identification Test - Personal recognition and historical memory -To confirm specific identities through questions such as “Your mother’s name was…?”
According to the data, the responses are replicated with an accuracy of 80–90%This represents the first step towards more complex communication.
Tests and publications
| Studio | Year | Main results |
| Plasma Globe System Tests | 2019 | Over 1 trillion bits analyzed, 1500 sessions |
| SoulSwitch Public Demonstration | 2020 | Accurate binary responses from PMPs |
| Multi-center Validation Study | 2021 | Under peer-review in scientific journals |
All this is documented by scientific publications and books like The Case for the SoulPhone e Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence.
From Switch to Video: The Next Technological Steps
SoulKeyboard
The next device under development will be the SoulKeyboardIt will allow "postmaterials" to select letters and words to compose messages, simulating the use of a virtual keyboard. Each key can be activated by a stimulus detected by advanced sensors connected to the system.
SoulVoice
Another ambitious goal is allow the voice of the deceased to be heard. The SoulVoice, still in the experimental stage, could allow a rudimentary form of speech initially limited to binary vocal responses, up to, in the future, arriving at complete sentences.
SoulVideo
The final goal is the SoulVideo, a visual system for displaying images of postmaterial entities. In an advanced stage, it could even generate three-dimensional holograms, restoring the visual image of deceased people.
Why the SoulPhone is so revolutionary (and controversial)
The SoulPhone represents a radical paradigm shiftIf confirmed, it could rewrite the foundations of Western science, religion, and philosophy. Its implications are:
- Change in view of death: consciousness continues
- New possibilities mourning process
- Potential support for the psychological, spiritual and medical research
Of course, the project also has raised criticismMany scientists call it “pseudoscience,” and point out the lack of evidence published in peer-reviewed journals. Others warn about ethical and psychological risks, such as addiction to contact with the deceased or scams by self-styled mediums.
The Future Vision: Communication Between Worlds
Imagine being able to talk to a lost parent, get advice from mentors on the other side, or simply know that your loved one is still there. The SoulPhone promises just that: a bridge between life and death.
The team envisions that one day we'll be able to participate in webinars with personalities like Nikola Tesla, now "free" from the limitations of the human brain. A jaw-dropping idea.
Other pioneers of spiritual communication
Surprisingly, the idea of creating a "phone to the afterlife" isn't new. Among the great names of the past who have attempted to build devices to contact the deceased are:
- Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone
- Guglielmo Marconi, father of the radio
- thomas edison, who spoke of a “Spirit Phone”
- Nikola Tesla, indirectly involved in experiments on the capture of anomalous frequencies
The difference between them and Schwartz? The technological means available. Today, with ultrasensitive sensors, artificial intelligence, and neural networks, what was once only imaginable is now becoming technically possible.
An invitation to reflection (and hope)
Whether you're skeptical or open to the unknown, the SoulPhone project invites you to reflect. Technology has come a long way: who would have thought, in 1960, that a watch could contain a phone, a TV, a camera, and a voice assistant?
Likewise, it might not be so absurd to imagine a future where the barriers between worlds are thinned by technology.
Where to learn more and how to participate
The official site SoulPhone.org It offers articles, scientific papers, updates, events, and insights. You can also consult:
- The book The Case for the SoulPhone by Gary and Rhonda Schwartz
- Technical documents on experimental tests
- Interviews with the researchers and mediums involved
You can also compile a list of deceased loved ones with whom you would like to reconnect, in case this technology one day becomes accessible to the general public.
Conclusions: Is the SoulPhone the future of communication?
Personally, I find the SoulPhone project fascinating. Not so much because it guarantees reliable contacts, but because it represents a meeting point between science, spirituality and technologyIt is a symbol of our evolution, of our desire to continue communicating, even beyond the boundaries of time.
Of course, many questions remain unanswered. But perhaps that's precisely the beauty of it: leaving a glimmer of possibility for the mystery, the quest, and the love that binds us beyond matter.
And you? What do you think of the SoulPhone? Does it fascinate you or perplex you? Let me know in the comments below: I'd love to hear your opinion, your experience, and maybe even your dreams.
