Bridges to the Spirit World

Jan 30, 2026

Let's get into it: Direct communication with the spirit world

My fingers hesitated to type the word 'Spirit' because I think it puts images in peoples' heads that are not quite accurate to what I'm discussing here. I am not suggesting an abstract idea, but the reality that we all continue to exist after death. 'Spirit,' though, does more accurately describe discarnate entitities who exist in finer realms, such as archangels and ethereal beings. Let's remove any spooky associations; there is nothing spooky about spirits, unless you're thinking of 'evil spirits,' which are better described as low-vibrational entities who seek to cause mischief.

The finer realms are filled with light. They are joyous and high vibrational. There is a growing movement of like-minded people who wish to open up channels of communication between the living and spirit realms. It may well be the great shift we've heard so much about, the transition of Earth from the 3rd density into the higher vibrational 4th density that is supposed to unfold at this time. At any rate, many people have always taken an interest in spiritual matters, and there is a wealth of information out there. But I want to move our interest out of the realm of ghost stories and things of that nature, because I have suspected there is a science to all this (and as it turns out, there is.) The new breed of spiritual investigators is focused on repeatable and concrete experimentation designed for two-way access between worlds. You read that right. No longer content to read and write about spirit encounters, these researchers are seeking to build bridges between this world and the next. This is an extremely exciting trend, and after years of seeking out information around these efforts, I have compiled an on-going catalog of spiritual pioneers dedicated to sustained and repeatable spirit contact with the aim of gaining knowledge and alleviating grief around loss. 

1.  Gary Schwartz - Founder of The SoulPhone Project

Gary Schwartz, along with the SoulPhone team, are hard at work developing the world's first prototype that will allow for 'post-material beings' (aka folks who have passed on) to communicate clearly with those of us Earthside. He had an experience decades ago where a disembodied voice commanded him to put on his seatbelt. A minute later, he was hit by a truck and would have surely died if not for the intervention of that voice. From that point on, he became a believer in the spirit world, and he dedicates his life to bringing the SoulPhone into fruition. Most remarkably, he says that brilliant minds like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein and Marie Curie have made contact with the team to help  develop the technology! Head over to his website, and check out the newsletter, which he says is the best way to read the most current updates on SoulPhone.

2. The Scole Experiment and Off-shoot Experiments (Siegert, Torcal, Norfok, etc)

In the mid 1990's, a man named Robin Foy organized a group of basement sitters in Scole, England, who were witness to some of the most extraordinary physical mediumship phenomena in documented history. Using a germanium device and a manufactured substance designed to act as ectoplasm (for those unfamiliar, ectoplasm is a substance produced in large quantities by physical mediums, which can be used by spiritual beings to manifest physical phenomena), the Scole sitters received apports (teleported objects such as crystals), witnessed spirit guests levitating objects, and even felt the tangible presence of loved ones who had taken physical form to speak and embrace their living family. Since the conclusion of the Scole experiment, several newer attempts to sustain the phenomena surfaced, including the Siegert, Torcal, and Norfok experiments, some of which continue their work to the present. It's the type of thing you'd never believe if you didn't experience it, but there have been documentaries made on Scole, and you can check those out for yourself. I highly encourage you to do your own digging. The Scole website is a field day of exploration by itself!

3. Mark Macy and the Timestream Spirit Group

Mark Macy is a Leading Researcher in Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) and the author of several books chronicling a series of spirit communications between 1987 and 1991 received through electronic devices from a spirit group known as Timestream. The messages came from earthside scientists such as Konstantine Raudive and Nikola Tesla, and from 7 ethereal beings who claimed that contact between worlds could be sustained only through the unity and pure consciousness of the earthside communicators. The spirit team provided a wealth of information spanning from where humans go when they transition, (how life continues in very tangible ways in the finer realms,) to prophecies of spirit communication becoming commonplace in the future if humans collectively decide to raise their vibration through their thoughts and actions.
