Spirit ID Institute is an independent institute established to preserve, develop, and apply the Spirit ID method for the identification of communicating consciousness.
The Institute represents an institutional continuation of the work initiated under the Jostein Strømmen Foundation and was created to ensure continuity, methodological clarity, and accountability beyond individual authorship. Its primary focus is identity recognition based on stable and verifiable identity‑signature characteristics rather than belief, symbolic interpretation, or tradition.
Spirit ID functions as a method of identification rather than a belief system or philosophical doctrine. The Institute’s work is situated within the broader field of Metapsychics Science™, a discipline concerned with structured inquiry into consciousness, agency, and continuity beyond physical life.
Within this framework, the Institute maintains a clear distinction between experience, interpretation, and identification, emphasising documented identity-signature features over symbolic, doctrinal, or speculative models.
Mission Statement
The mission of Spirit ID Institute is to advance the reliable identification of communicating consciousness through documented evidence, methodological transparency, and institutional continuity.
Purpose
The purpose of Spirit ID Institute is to institutionalise the Spirit ID method as a structured and responsible approach to identity recognition in non-physical communication. The Institute aims to shift inquiry from subjective belief toward demonstrable identity-signature features that show coherence over time.
Method
Spirit ID is a methodological framework based on the documentation of stable and recurring identity characteristics such as interaction patterns, response dynamics, tonal structure, and contextual coherence across sessions.
The method emphasises consistency, repeatability, and cross-verification rather than single events, dramatic claims, or interpretive narrative. The Institute maintains clear boundaries between empirical documentation, analytical interpretation, and personal experience.
Status
Spirit ID Institute operates as an independent institute and is not constituted as a commercial company or corporate entity. Its role is custodial and methodological, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the Spirit ID framework.
The Institute may engage in lectures, presentations, and commissioned educational activities where such engagement serves its mission and methodological purpose, without altering its institutional and non-corporate character.
Should future activities such as research collaboration, publication, public demonstration, or technological development require formal legal or organisational structures, such entities may be established at a later stage under the Institute’s mandate.
For Media
Spirit ID Institute is available for factual clarification, background briefings, and contextual explanation of its work, terminology, and methodology.
The Institute does not engage in advocacy, belief promotion, or speculative claims. Media engagement is welcomed where the focus is on method, documentation, ethical boundaries, and the institutional handling of identity recognition in non-physical communication.
Spirit ID Institute maintains a clear distinction between:
- Personal experience and documented method
- Interpretation and identification
- Belief-based narratives and evidence-based inquiry
Media professionals may contact the Institute for background information, methodological clarification, or context related to lectures and public presentations.
