We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dr. Mark Pitstick a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dr. Mark , thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism, no matter what is happening to or around me, comes from deeply knowing ‘The Great News’ as listed in article #19 at SoulProof.com. Gary E. Schwartz PhD was a professor at Harvard and Yale, and is now professor emeritus at the University of Arizona. In our book ‘Greater Reality Living’, we identified ten aspects about the nature of reality that are based on scientific, clinical, and/or experiential evidence. This data indicates, with a very high degrees of certainty, that you and everyone else:
1. are a being of consciousness / energy who still exists after your earthly body dies.
2. can interact with ‘deceased’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
3. are an integral, eternal, and beloved part of Source Energy / The Light now and always.
4. receive guidance, assistance, and love from angels, guides, and master teachers.
5. are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
6. have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
7. may simultaneously manifest in other space-time realities now and after bodily death.
8. have everything you need – no matter what your past or current circumstances – to enjoy the greatest life YOU have envisioned. (YOU = your higher
self / soul / awareness)
9. can find peace, joy, meaning, growth, and opportunities for loving service amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
10. create the quality of your life via your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
Much peace, joy, hope, inspiration, and empowerment arises when you really know how life is set up and live accordingly. Here is more information about the first item: (The referenced articles at SoulProof.com provide much more information for my answers.)
1. You are so much more than you can imagine. Your earthly body is less than 1% of who and what you really are. (#11 Expanding Your View of Life and #15 The Nature of Humans)
2. From a religious / spiritual perspective, you are a beloved child of the Creator and Sustainer of All That Exists. You are a unique soul – a precious creation that G.O.D. observed and said was very good. Your true nature is that you are a divine human who is awakening to your true nature. (#13 What is G.O.D. Really Like? and #16 Evidence-Based Spiritual Teachings)
3. From a clinical viewpoint, you are a timeless being of consciousness / energy / awareness. That energy can manifest in various time-space ways, in this case, as a human on planet earth. (#60 Clinical Evidence That Life Continues After Physical Death and #75 Multilocation / Parallel Realities / Simultaneous Experiences)
4. You volunteered to share your greatest gifts on this planet. Why? This earthly experience provides abundant opportunities for Service, Adventure, Growth, and Enjoyment. (#21 Identify and Fulfill Your Highest Purposes, and #80 Why Are You on Earth Now?)
One of my goals is to help as many people as possible deeply know and show this great news. This alone could trigger a positive tipping point for many people and our planet.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Mark Pitstick, MA, DC, has over fifty years of experience helping people in hospitals, pastoral counseling settings, mental health centers and holistic health care practice. His training includes graduate theology studies majoring in pastoral counseling, master of arts in clinical psychology, and doctorate in chiropractic health care. Mark also completed extensive postgraduate training in clinical nutrition, and has provided suicide prevention counseling and education since 1976.
When Mark was six years old, he told his parents that a beautiful sunset ‘reminds me of God.’ At age 10, he became aware of occasional clairaudient and clairsentient abilities; since then, he’s had a number of revelatory and spiritually transformative experiences. After working in hospitals with many suffering and dying adults and children, he was motivated to find evidence-based answers to questions that many people ask: “Who am I? Why am I here? What happens after I die? Will I see my departed loved ones again? Is there a God? If so, why is there so much suffering? and How can I best live during this brief earthly experience?”
Dr. Pitstick wrote Soul Proof, Radiant Wellness, The Eleven Questions, The Afterlife Evidence, Ask the Soul Doctor and Shining Light Parents Speak. He co-authored Greater Reality Living (with Gary E. Schwartz PhD), and The Big Picture of Life (with Dr. Schwartz and Katta Mapes MA, MEd).
Mark produced the Soul Proof documentary film with interviews of people who had near-death experiences, after-death communications, and other eye-opening encounters. His ten audio products use deep relaxation, breathing techniques, and guided imagery to help people deeply know and show they are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of Source. He created the Ask Your Soul, Your Life Review, and Facilitated ADC techniques.
A frequent media guest, Mark hosted Soul-utions, a radio show about practical spirituality, and Ask the Soul Doctors with interviews of top consciousness experts. His interviews with Wayne Dyer, Brian Weiss, Caroline Myss, Michael Newton, Anita Moorjani, and others can be heard at Radio Shows. He has given many workshops on spiritual awareness and holistic wellness.
Pitstick is certified in past life regression therapy by Brian Weiss MD, and the mirror gazing technique by Raymond Moody PhD, MD. He provides clinical support for Helping Parents Heal group leaders and Caring Listeners, and contributes to their newsletter.
For eight years, Mark directed the SoulPhone Foundation that: (1.) taught the collective evidence for life after death to people worldwide, and (2.) supported ‘spirit’ communication technology research and development at the University of Arizona. He is a research assistant and strategic planner for the SoulPhone Project with Dr. Schwartz at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health.
Mark founded four programs to help people heal and transform, remember their true nature, create the greatest life they have envisioned, help others, and make our world a better place.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I can’t limit it to three but here are six . . .
1. sensing and following my inner guidance
2. listening to elders to gain their wisdom
3. perseverance
4. optimal self care of the temple of my soul
5. using preventive holistic and nature health care including chiropractic, acupuncture, deep tissue massage, nutrition-base healing, and integrative medicine when needed
6. developing a personal relationship with The Light to better remember the answers to life’s biggest questions
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
Provided a loving and supportive home from which I could explore the full nature of reality. They were always open to learning about new topics I discovered such as reincarnation, multilocation, and interdimensional communication. I was ‘the weird one’ in my family but they appreciated my uniqueness and drive to help others and our world. Dad changed worlds in 2007 and Mom in 2023. I continue to talk with them and enjoy ‘spiritual visits’ while asleep. During my last conversationn with my 92 year old mom, I reminded to stay alert for contacts with the SoulPhone technology. In her weak voice, just days before passing on, she said: “I’ll do my best to do my part from the other side.” I am very blessed to have two such wonderful and supportive parents.
