I've been trying to symbolically explain for a while how I think it works in terms of life experience and incarnating to 'here'. At least, in my terms I think now I have a reasonably simple analogy which has probably been described before but I have not yet or can't remember coming across it. If you imagine a river (universal experience) and a single leaf flowing down it (us individually) - the water moves from A to B, but to the sides of the river, there can be eddies that pools of water get caught up in. A leaf might also become temporarily trapped within the eddy, circling around and around before it escapes and continues to move on with the flow of water.
That's my analogy for life in terms of where we were previously and where we're moving to - from our perspective as a leaf in an eddy, we don't know where the river started or where it goes to, just that the water flows. Right here, right now we are in an eddy by being alive and experiencing 3D reality. Some leaves will move on quickly and continue to move downstream. Others might continue to circle for a while.
Of course this analogy doesn't include the STS and STO components and multiple dimensions, or even more literally the flooding rains and droughts - perhaps the speed of flow also changes in cosmic terms also? But a leaf moving down a river is simple to imagine - and life here is just a temporary portion of a grander experience.
