Space and time is an illusion, however i am talking about the illusional reality of space and time that we are currently experiencing.

So time travel is impossible? You can’t travel to something that doesn’t exist….. only to your illusion of it.

Then why is there consequences to my actions. My actions can kill or permanently disfigure someone independent of my intentions. Or the some for comets hitting a planet no matter how much I imagine such a thing cannot happen.
I wouldn't say that. When looking at the earth from a larger frame of reference, time isn't the only separator. The earth has been revolving around the sun and the sun has been orbiting the milky way galaxy at over 500,000 mph, so there's also quite a bit of space separating you from the old train, say to an observer in the andromeda galaxy, watching the earth and sun zip around the Milky Way.

Or…
I have an abandoned railroad bed behind the house where the rails have been removed. The only thing that keeps me from being hit by a past train when standing on the bed is the separation of time.
The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the galactic center
