According to several spiritual traditions, not all souls cross this threshold immediately. Some remain close to the earthly plane for a time, primarily for emotional reasons. Very strong emotional bonds, feelings of guilt, unresolved situations, or simply inner confusion could slow this transition.
In these beliefs, time does not have the same value for the soul as it does for the living. What seems long and painful to us is, for the soul, merely a necessary moment of transition before continuing its journey.
Three spiritual visions of souls close to the living
Three main symbolic categories are often found, though sometimes referred to by different names. So-called "wandering" souls are said to be linked to places or intense memories and to need spiritual guidance to move forward. Others, driven by love, choose to remain temporarily close to their loved ones to comfort or support them. Finally, some souls are held back by strong emotions such as fear or anger, not out of malice, but due to a difficulty in letting go.
In traditions like Buddhism , this intermediate phase is considered transitional and always followed by evolution. Christianity, on the other hand, speaks of a journey of the soul toward divine peace, while Hinduism speaks of cycles and gradual transformation.
