I think there are two main ways of perceiving and experiencing the physical dimension.

   There is the physical dimension way of linear time where past moves to present and then to future present, as if it's a straight line from one point *------------------------> onward.

   There is another way of perceiving physical experiences, which is from outside of this dimension.  Time becomes more and more relative and the perception changes, the "farther away" in a vibration sense, one becomes from the physical level. 

   If you can phase into the Source/pure Love Consciousness, the most expanded, fastest vibratory level/experience/perception there is, which has always existed, then do you perceive physical reality in a much, much, much more inclusive and "all" sense--meaning the lines, boundaries and separations between past, present and future become blurred. 

   When Source/The Creator moved and set all this into motion, at that very moment, ALL possibilities and probabilities were visioned by Itself. 

  But it wasn't until portions of Itself, us as both Spirits/Expanded/I-There selves and later as Souls/probes, started to make actual choices within the flow/movement of creation/reality, that The Creator could know which possibilities became more and more close to probabilities. 

  The use of one's spiritual Will is what leads one to a certain future, from a more limited, separative viewpoint, that of the slow vibratory. 

   Probabilities are call probabilities for a good reason--they are probable.  ; ) 

   Freewill is a bit of misnomer in the sense that it's not completely free in a completely random and chaotic sense.  As a Soul and a Spirit start to phase more and more towards their Origins, their Creator, their Center, their Source--what they truly are and always have been....

  They start to choose more and more in wiser ways, according to Plans pre-set up by a combo of their I-There, with various Completed or fully Source Realized Individuals (the "Elders" that run the "Life Reviews" that so many different sources touch on). 

  Monroe was a Soul, a probe, an expression from a Spirit/I-There that is nearing completion.  Monroe as an individualized Soul/probe, himself, was nearing completion in his human life. 

   Through a combination of his Spirit/I-there influence and his own individuated Soul's will, he began to stick more and more to a more Expanded plan. 

   And thus, from an Expanded viewpoint, closer to that of Source, could he experience his "future self" interacting with and influencing his "past self", according to the strongest probability streams. 

   Perhaps in a sense, it's all being constantly updated, according to how we use our Will and then our experience and perception of past, present and future then changes to reflect the inner changes? 

   This kind of experience and perception does not happen as much with Souls and Spirit selves that are much less mature and not as intune with their Origins.  They use their Will in more random or chaotic ways and don't tend to stick to pre-physical life plans, etc. 

  Hence, determining future probabilities for such tends to be more tricky. They are not on as set paths--they flit and jump more, until they finally start to bring their little will, in alignment with the Will of the purely Creative Forces (Source and the Co-Creator level, our Origins). 

   These things are mighty, mighty hard to put into and explain in words.  The human mind and language is not well equipped to understand the relativity and yet at the same time, absolute properties of time, or rather Reality, and how and why we perceive and experience the way we do. 

   But yes, future probable Monroe helped past Monroe, according to the strongest probabilities, and the pre life-plan that was put into place before his Soul connected to a body/life pattern.   

  It doesn't mean that everything is pre determined, but that wise, older Souls tend to stick more to plans and tend to use their will, both on a Soul and on a Spirit level, in more creative/constructive ways sticking more to such plans. Monroe and his larger Spirit/Expanded Self, has long been a Helper type. 

  He came to help in the grand retrieval process here. Part of his specific plan, involved having a certain amount of perception opened up to him during his life as a human.  More than usual. 

  Yet, Monroe didn't achieve completion while a human.  He didn't always use his Will in a constructive way and didn't always allow himself to be led by the purely Creative Forces. He did however, stick to the major parts of the plan set up for him, and helped a lot of people both directly and indirectly.  This led to a lot of growth for both his Soul and his Spirit. 

  The more we retrieve, the more we help out the Whole, the closer we come (vibrationally) in a consciousness sense, to full attunement to Source--our Home of Homes, where we truly belong and the more mature of us, desire to be operating from.

   Monroe while a Helper, should not be placed on any kind of pedestal though.  By turning our eyes and focus towards those who have fully completed the process, can we as individuals be most be helped.  Individuals such as "He/She" and the like. 

They are already fully outside the bag so to speak. The bag being distorted, limited perception and experience.  There are none such in Source!   

 

Hello Astroneer:

I read Robert's book Ultimate Journey and liked it a lot. Free will is something I thought about a lot, and I definitely believe we have it. Our psychological conditioning and corresponding attachments and beliefs can make it difficult to use our free will in a wise way.

A key is to consider closely what is your experience "right now." If you observe now closely you'll see that even if thoughts are arising within your mind, you have the ability to think freely. Since we always exist now, regardless of whether something such as simultaneous time exists, we are able to choose now.

If one views simultaneous time like a painting where many  things occur, on each portion of the painting that represents a choice, a choice could be made during that "now."

Even if we could experience all of time instantaneously, we would still exist now repeatedly.
