The guide/individual relationship, as lonelyangel also stated, is very much like a parent/child relationship. Just like a parent can tell that when a child exhibits poor judgment what the outcome will likely be so can the guide. The future changes with every second. The guides view of the future is much more tangible than a parent's assumption but it is a similar mechanism. And just like a child we can disagree and disregard a guides suggestion. Trust me, I've argued with my guides and gone against their suggestions many times. Their response is much more loving than a parent's response would be and they will alter things to accommodate your opposition. And often they will anticipate this opposition and plan accordingly as mine often did

There is a theory that time is not linear as we see it but that it exists all at once. So the past, present, and future are all "now". Our concept of time is very primitive and not at all as those in higher dimensions see it. They laugh (not in a mean way) at how we get caught up in time and schedules and try to hold onto or speed up "time". To them it is like watching a hamster run in a wheel thinking it is actually accomplishing something. So "seeing the future" to them is totally different than what we see it as. And they say, "Yes we can see the future but it is like watching water flow down the river. You cannot watch and pinpoint just one spot as absolute."
