Reply To: A word on judging Judgement

One way I try to visualize this interaction is by comparing time to space. If the universe is the surface of a table and you are outside of the table, you can look at any point and be aware of what is before that point and what is after. From the perspective of the point itself it can’t be aware of the points following it, since it is within the surface.

I don’t know how clear this is, but it is a fun topic to ponder when you are alone and in the mood of pondering.

As for your second question, if the issue really intrigues you it pays to seriously learn through some Ramchal (Derech Hashem, Daas Tvunos etc.) and other Hashkafa Sefarim. Anonymous1000’s answer is true, but still, a short summary of a deep topic doesn’t do justice to the concept.
