What if you went to jail and instead ended up starting to meditate and discovering your spirituality there?
However, time existing as parallel time-streams offers some interesting possibilities because if both the past and the future are "here, now", then that means that all past and future choices are also being made in this moment.
There is a distinction though, I feel, between the examination of the idea or mental image of a choice, and the actual occurence in time as it actually happens.
Perhaps your choice now doesn't affect past choices in the sense of linear causality, but I believe that we, now, are the higher self of our past selves so the choices we make now do reflect upon how we "emerge" from our previous selves. If those selves are still in the midst of their experience as a parallel life, then not only do their choices affect us, but our affect them.
Are not our future, higher selves also making choices which reflect upon us now, in the moment? I see the connection between past and future selves as a circle nexus with every point in the circle tied or linked to every other point. The "line" appears to be straight when you travel along it, but actually all parts of the "line" are focused in on one central point, the Self.
