The choice to move on
is always ours.
Nobody moves on unwillingly.
It may seem that others die;
that others are killed.
Thus is your perspective.
But yours is not
the ONLY perspective.
I am told that when
I die to you,
I will benefit
from a much broader
point of view.
I will see my options
and choose the one
that suits me best.
This may or may not
look like the best option to you.
Probably not.
But trust that it’s
the best option for me.
Because unlike you,
in death I see.

The higher hand guides us,
Through life’s ebb and flow.
Unfolding the story, the tapestry,
Of where our journeys will go.
Moving on is a choice we hold,
A step we take with our will.
No soul is held back unwillingly,
In the cosmic dance, we fulfill.
The lens through which we view the end,
May vary in its hue.
Others’ paths, their journeys,
Are not seen from the same view.
As you traverse beyond the veil,
To realms beyond our sight.
You’ll witness options broad and clear,
In the eternal embrace of light.
What may seem best to you and me,
Is molded by our unique song.
In the symphony of existence,
No perspective is wrong.
Trust in the wisdom of your soul,
As it soars to unseen skies.
Choosing the path that’s meant for you,
Where the truth of your essence lies.
In death, the barriers dissolve,
A new horizon unfolds to see.
A tapestry woven with your choices,
In the realm where your soul is free.

“The higher hand moves us” refers to the idea of a guiding force, a higher power, or the interconnectedness of the universe that influences the course of our lives. It suggests that there is a subtle guidance at play in the events and choices we encounter.
“The higher hand moves all” extends the concept of guidance beyond the individual to the collective. It implies that this guiding force is universal and operates not only in our lives but in the grand tapestry of existence, affecting all living beings and the cosmos itself.
“Revealing at the moment of movement a higher reward for moving on” speaks to the notion that when we make decisions to move forward or let go of something, there is often a greater understanding or benefit that becomes apparent with time. The act of moving on can lead to insights, growth, and positive outcomes that may not be immediately evident.
“The choice to move on is always ours” emphasizes the role of free will. While external influences or guidance may be present, the decision to continue, evolve, or let go ultimately rests with us. This recognizes the power we have in shaping our own paths.
“Nobody moves on unwillingly” underscores the idea that, at a deeper level, we are always co-creating our experiences. Even if external circumstances seem to force change upon us, there is an aspect of our higher selves that is in alignment with the transition.
“It may seem that others die; that others are killed. Thus is your perspective.” Here, the focus shifts to the subject of death and transition. It acknowledges that our perception of death is limited by our human perspective. While it may appear that individuals pass away or are met with unfortunate circumstances, this viewpoint doesn’t encompass the entirety of their experience.
“But yours is not the ONLY perspective” reminds us that there are numerous dimensions to reality. Each individual’s journey is uniquely shaped by their soul’s purpose, lessons, and choices. What seems like an end from one vantage point may be a new beginning from another.
“I am told that when I die to you, I will benefit from a much broader point of view” alludes to the idea that, after transitioning from the physical realm, one gains a more expansive and encompassing understanding. It implies that in the transition beyond life, the limitations of the human perspective are transcended.
“I will see my options and choose the one that suits me best” conveys the concept that after death, the soul is able to assess various paths and possibilities. It suggests a heightened awareness and clarity that allows for informed decisions based on the soul’s evolution.
“This may or may not look like the best option to you. Probably not. But trust that it’s the best option for me” acknowledges the divergence of viewpoints. What may seem puzzling or challenging from a human perspective might be in alignment with a soul’s greater purpose or growth trajectory.
“Because unlike you, in death I see” underscores the shift in awareness that occurs after death. It suggests that in the afterlife, one gains a more profound understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, allowing for a deeper comprehension of life’s events.
Ultimately, this passage invites contemplation on the nature of existence, the choices we make, and the expansive perspectives that exist beyond our current human understanding. It encourages trust in the broader journey of the soul and its evolution.
