The beginning and end is both complete and just beginning a new.
This is why I find free will an issue. It's already done what ever you are going to do. You doing it may have depended on your belief in free will and choice do do so but from another place in time it had already happened. It was always going to happen.
Glow, everything happens instantaneously because there is no time, so you are correct that all that you will ever do as an entity has already been done by you. But it was done by you, as a choice made in every one of those moments.
To use a metaphor, if each moment of your existence as a soul is a single pixel on a giant screen - it was still you who chose the precise color of each pixel; to you it appeared to happen one pixel at a time; to God it seemed to happen instantly/timelessly - but it was still your free will that created the whole picture.
