Wow, that IS a wild story! I'd say you got caught in a time warp of sorts, where your time line overlapped by a few weeks and caused the past, present and future to happen all at the same time. Or maybe you were shifting between dimensions? Neat to ponder though, huh? Wow...cool story! I 'm sure if we all thought about it, we could remember instances like this in our lives, but we passed it off as just "that was weird", and continued on with what we were doing.
I wonder how an 'enlightened person' would go about altering the past since they view reality as it is, without personal interpretation or dualism?

In my opinion, changing the past would imply violating the law of karma, the law of action and reaction, thus throwing out of balance our finely tuned universe.
Perhaps cultivating an understanding and acceptance of the past would be a more fruitful activity than trying to find loopholes in the law of consequences?

I don't think an enlightened person would even contemplate changing the past, because they would realize that everything is in perfect balance just the way it is. An enlightened person would have utmost respect for the laws of the universe, so why try and fiddle with them? Just my opinion.

There is no law of consequence or karma.
Ok for those who will, here`s the first question - After reading this, sit back, close your eyes, relax, and think back to your very earliest memory, the very first, where, in the event or occurance of `what happened` you became AWARE, call it your eye-opener. It`s usually something that might have happened when we were maybe three or four (past life memories excluded for the sake of this process) and when it happened, our childlike thought in reaction may be been SOMETHING IS WRONG or SOMETHING`s WRONG WITH ME! The first memory, which produced in us, our first strong and powerful sense of self awareness.

Yeah you got it, sorry I was just reacting to your very short and apparently flippant cold response, which it obviously wasn`t - false paradigm projection on my part! Oops!
We are completely and utterly free.

Not while we still have attachments in this world.
While the attachments remain, including the attachmments to our body, ego, and individual mind, then we are still subject to karma. The body still feels pain, the emotions still go up and dowm, the mind is not still, all these things are karmas.
Our soul has the potential to be free, but not while it is encased by the mind, emotions, and physical body. It is not so easy to be free of all of these.
