If time doesn't really exist

[unir 1]

So think of your future self as a path through a maze. It knows the specific route you are going to take because it is you in the future. The Higher Self portion of your future consciousness is like that same maze but the path through it has been erased. It is aware of all the paths through the maze, but is not aware of the one you will choose to go through it. Ra has said that the Higher Self is like a map in which the destination is known. However, it does not know what specific path you will take through that map to the destination. It just knows you will eventually reach the destination. It is, however, intimately aware of the paths through said maze, and can assist you in providing information in that regard.

Writing in response to this part of your post, anagogy-

So would you agree that the higher self must not infringe on our free-will by doing anything other than "guidance"?
For example: it would not push us toward the "exit", which we may or may not be aware of, or seeking.
Would I be correct in stating that the higher self only "chooses for you" when you have no 3rd density opportunity to do so yourself? In example: when you have passed away and take refuge in the other side; I suppose there, and only there the higher self adjusts limitations and predispositions if it wishes.
But then, what would be the reason for that? If I may suggest, perhaps it is for the lessons yet to learn or those we pick up from our past life to resume in our journey in this realm of free-will...

I'm assuming the higher self, since it knows not the future of your path, can only tell you about what you've been through, not where you're headed...so it can't tell you what's ahead because you haven't chosen it yet. Though it can tell you...what you've been unaware of in your path? I'm not seeing much else it could say. Paradoxically, would it automatically tell you of what you were unaware of, thus infringing, or would you have to be aware of the desired info, thus not needing the information retold to you? Is there a merge here, where the higher self becomes present in you, and you are simply...the higher self? Is it basically (according to my speculation) as Ra put it in session 70, answer 11?
