Poem Title:
Poem
When my life has finally left me and my last breath has been shed And the silver cord is broken and my bodies firmly dead I shall hover near the body, download the scenes of this past life Noting all minutest details rolling backwards past my eyes I’ll store these scenes ‘til later when I can take the time to learn What the lessons have to teach me and help me to discern How I treated other people, made them happy, made them sad Examine all my actions, both the good and the bad Three days later I’ll lose interest as my focus moves away From the world that I just left behind, there is no need to stay For a lifetime in the life of man to God is just a day And my soul as God on the wheel of life must move along its way I’ll take the download with me as I move into first heaven It’s the first stage in the afterlife, in number there are seven Here I’ll see and feel the good things that to others I have brought And revel in the feelings of the kindness that I wrought I will store these in my seed atom so in future lives I’ll know They’re the things that I must multiply for my souls’ conscience to grow For the conscience is the souls’ voice that guides you day by day That still small voice that warns you in what you do and say When that’s done my view will shift then to the things that I did bad To the hurt I did to people that left them feeling sad I will feel their pain intensely, ten times worse when in this field For I’ll be purely spirit now with no flesh for a shield These painful lessons will imprint upon my seed atom as well In some religions we are told our soul’s in everlasting hell In the stages of the afterlife, this is your punishment in heaven This is the third and the most painful of the total seven The Grim Reaper now has visited with his scythe so I will know Through natures Law of Consequence I will reap what I did sow He has shown me all my misdeeds and caused me many tears And this purgatorial experience may last for twenty years When my suffering soul recovers and the pain has died away And I’ve incorporated the lessons to never act this way In future lives I’ll be a better man from these lessons I have learned One step closer to perfection that my growing soul has earned Now I can sleep, Oh peaceful sleep, a state of heavenly rest I’ll dream the dreams I love in life, of things I love the best All desires that my soul has yearned, not a thing I can’t create In the Great Silence of the spirit world to help me concentrate The colors are much brighter, the scent of flowers more sublime The senses are much sharper, there is no sense of time I will see all other people as pure souls just like me And I’ll know we’re all evolving to the bliss of eternity I will hear the mystic music of the planets as they pass Like a thousand singing angels, heavenly peace has come at last Every planet sings its own song, we’ve grown deaf to this below But in this super consciousness we’re in the eternal flow I’ll be with my friends and family and others whom I love The ones who left before me and currently live above There they wait with arms wide open and rejoice when I arrive In the fourth stage where I now live, it’s utter joy to be alive I’ve incorporated my lessons, I now recall my goal And my mind begins to focus on further growth of my soul I must make further preparations and my vision starts to clear I feel I must keep moving forward for all my works done here I now have gone through five and six, there is just one more In years it’s been from birth to birth one hundred forty four The time has come to move along and leave this place called heaven Prepare for life in the physical world, I move to number seven My soul has gathered the material, I now know what I must do To make some more improvements in the places I need to I must take another body, I must live another life To grow and liquidate more karma though it means more pain and strife I build an archetype of the body that in future I will form When embodiment is offered, and I can be reborn I will see the opportunities and be able to discern The ideal embodiment for me when the right egg meets the sperm I will hover near the fetus, influencing where I can And I’ll have the power to make it be a woman or a man I will help to build the body to suit the lessons I must learn To overcome more issues so more advancement I can earn When baby takes its first breath and my soul is taken in With the imprint of my seed atoms that it has brought within Now the babys’ atoms resonate to my seeds vibration rate Making it the perfect body for my soul to habituate The new body will be my new home, I will live a life anew Gain experience, learn more lessons, through the things that I will do I’ll apply the added knowledge that I learned in this past life More evolved than in the last one, and cause me less pain and strife This will happen just as often as required by the soul As it pushes ever onward, pushing ever t’ward its goal Of complete re-integration back from whence it came To the universal soul of life no matter what its name Nature is not personal, it does not seek revenge If we mess it up we have the chance to do it all again We arrived here by this process, nothing’s changed it’s still the same But our souls have evolved immensely since we stepped into the game We started out as fallen angels with no experience on this plane We’ve grown to this by coming back again and again Though we cannot remember for each conscious mind has died The feelings in the soul remained in our subconscious mind And so this is the story of the cycle of the soul As it struggles through evolution on its way toward the goal It’s this way for all unfailing, from natures law there’s no relief All living things go through it, no matter their belief
