change your past to change your future

Hello,
We tend to have the perception that time happens in a line ..event a leads to event b .. then to event c ..

this is not entirely the case .. Our future unfolds based on our expectations and beliefs .. which are based off of what happened to us in the past.. and many time based of second third and fourth hand information about what happened to others in the past ..

Your future is built off your reaction and your response to what you perceive to be happening in this moment . but those habitual reactions or chosen responses to what is happening now is built on your perceptions of what happened to you in the past ..or the stories of what happened to others .

many times we just end up recreating event a over and over and live more of an a-1 ,a -2 a -3 ... life instead of an a to b to c .

If you you have a habit of reacting in a certain way when someone cuts you off .. maybe because you have always reacted like that.. or your parents responded like that .. and it stick in your mind for any period of time.. look at why you react that way .. also picture how often you do it .. then next time some one cut you off.. and you catch yourself in your habitual reaction to it .. make a mental choice in that moment to respond better and let it go and think about something else.

If you are trying to lose weight ..but you find yourself having to stop for fst food .. respond by ordering just a sandwich or a burger .. instead of the value meal with the largest soda and fries ..
or better yet if you want to eat better.. just purge the cheap packaged crap from your life and if it is fattening .. but the most expensive tasties fattening food you can and enjoy every bit of it ..

    You probably meant:

    Change in your present to change your future

    Sorry, changing your past makes no sense. We can make a personal review of
    what we have done, how we have reacted, and where we are in relation to various
    stages of our past, but (unfortunately) our past is, at least for now, set in stone.

    Unless someone, somewhere figures out how to break the time and space equations,
    it would seem that we can only change what is happening right now. Ever notice how
    "NOW" is always in the past?

    ok let me rephrase ,
    ever notice how in even with many people there are many different accounts of the same event .. in many cases to get the story of what happened experts need to piece together accounts ..to get a picture of the main event ..

    In many cases your perception of the past of your past or what happened.. is based off of a fraction of the information of what happened .. or experience of the event .. that was out of alignment with what was going on .

    and the past can be changed based off of info that was hidden at the time ..

    the pen state coach is no longer the coach in history with the most wins.. and they no longer won many of the titles they won ..

    Lance armstrong ..no longer won 6 tour de frances ?

    this is stuff millions of people observed and new happened at the time .. but because of certain other factors.. the outcomes of those events are now much different ..

    how many events in your past if you add in certain information .. didn't actually happen how you remember them or didn't havethe long term impact you thought they would at the time ..

    so you cange change your perception..reaction.. and your meaning you attached to events in your past .. by adding more information into the mix of what happened in those events ..

    I did not read your post. But whatever what, you can not change your past. you can only change NOW, and PLAN your future.

      the past you remember happening..in many cases ..may not be the picture of what actually happened ..historians and powerful politicians do this all the time ..
      the change the story of what happened in order to get us to go alnong with what they want us to do .

      the past gets changed all of the time ...
