It is not easy to understand this concept. We all know this. A good place to begin is to restate that the idea of free will is firmly connected to the flow of what we call "time". Time is nothing more than an effect of matter. More specifically it is keyed to the relative density of matter. Physical material produces very fast time. Time in astral or mental matter is slower. Time likewise slows in higher planes until it stops. Consider this. Here is more. We are in the physical, ethereal, astral and mental while living on Earth. Time as expressed in these planes is familiar to us. Now consider this. As we send our consciousness higher and higher we find that time slows. Yes. Time is fastest in the most dense of the planes just as sound flows faster through solids than it does liquids. It is less so as we go up into the various subtle planes, and higher. Keep going. Continue sending our minds higher and higher, using our imaginations, until we arrive, finally, at the highest of all planes. This is the ultimate plane of the creator. For simplicity let's give "him" a gender and call him "God". Do this without any thoughts of religion (which are all man made) and it is easier. There is a great truth here though. At the highest plane of existence time is at a standstill. Effectively there is no time at all. This is the reason that God can give us free will and yet know how we will choose. It is simply because on that highest plane all, every event in history, is in the "now". Do not fret too much over this. We are attempting to speak of things far beyond our capability to understand. We are lucky to be able to say this much.
Now that we have seen this and understand it let's go back downwards to where we are now. We, as physical, emotional and mental beings, are immersed in a particular rate of time flow. If we want to gaze forward or backward we have only to use our minds and we will have success. There are two ways to see our future. One is to use our imaginative intuition. The other is to raise ourselves, directly or through an agent, to a high plane where better vision is possible. Our souls live normally on the plane of souls which are the higher sub planes of the mental (and above to a degree). They have better access than we do. It is from this plane, and sometimes higher, that prophets go to retrieve information that we here tend to marvel over. if we can adequately connect here we will find that we may easily get information about our likely futures.
The second way is harder to do. After years of practice we become able to meditate in communion with a very high plane from which we are able to easily determine our futures. There is a problem here though. When we achieve this access we have progressed beyond the point where we care any longer about knowing our futures. In other words when we arrive at the plateau whereupon we have this sort of grand vision it no longer is important to us because we have long since left those lower realms where desire has sway behind.
On higher planes of awareness desire and curiosity no longer exist because they are essential aspects of personalities which, in turn, are things of the physical, emotional and lower mental realms.
It is kind of like a reverse "catch 22". Interesting, yes? Almost humorous in a wry sort of way.
Even though our futures are known to those entities who are far above the levels of mere masters, or ascended masters, engaged in guiding we humans on Earth (and other planets) They cannot be known to us. This is in no way punitive. It simply is because we do not have access. But our futures are not static qualities. Just because we lack knowledge does not mean we lack control. Our futures are shaped by our decisions and actions now. So.... although we may not have unlimited access we do have unlimited control. This, in itself, is a catalyst which opens doors which shape destinies.
It is our duty to the creative force that brought us all into manifestation to use the tools which are presently available to us with what wisdom that we possess at the moment. If we do this we need never be concerned about the future.
When we leave our true homes on the plane of human souls to come to physical worlds we choose to close certain doors in order to avoid being distracted from our goals while incarnated on Earth. Bartholomew is speaking here. The physical James that he speaks through would also like to know his future. But he knows also that such knowledge would lead to complacency and misuse of opportunity.
Remember that we all have guides who never fail us. Learn to trust them. They make their presence known in various ways. When ours is near to hand we know. There is never any question. We know. These older souls voluntarily agree to help us always.
