Is time in space/time a linear construct?

[Dtris]

While in Space/Time as we are when reading this forum we have some ability to influence time. This can be done thru meditation and generally you can effect yourself but not others afaik. Time is occasionally described as a river in asian literature. Time flows in one direction and no one can change the river. But you can change how you are effected by the river, whether you float faster, or slower, or move side to side. Sometimes you can even see the rocks ahead or the waterfall.
