I am intellectually aware that we live in an "eternal present", and that linear time is a sensation of the illusion in order for us to "experience" progression and evolve, but I think I'll have to familiarise myself a little more with this concept in the Seth material.
It just simply hasn't been my experience, I've never experienced a "changed past", so I remain sceptical for now. I believe there is also something in the Seth material (correct me if I'm wrong) that says you can incarnate anywhere in the timeline at any time, and are not limited in your choice to the "current present" in earth's timeline, which I'm also not too so sure about. Because the ramifications of that are enormous.
What if I decide to go back to Atlantis to try and avert destruction and succeed, yet currently we have millions of ex-Atlanteans incarnated who is working out the karma of that time, now I've just changed it, so which reality takes preference? Mine, or the millions in the current spot on the timeline? And how will that landmass suddenly reappearing look like to the people "currently" here. Or I will go back now to Don and them, and attempt to prevent his death, what about everyone's lessons that transpired as a result of how things turned out? You see how messy this can get?
I'm all for magical possibilities, but if it doesn't reflect experientially or pose some problems, then I will have to put it on the "maybe" pile for now.
If you go back in time and kill your grandfather, nothing will happen to you, because you exist already in the eternal present. Causality breaks down at that level, as time is just a form of energy.
