Space time.
We can say one’s consciousness along with its activites from the past effects our present . The present will certainly effect our future , including the long distant future , however, destinations and destinies can be changed . What should have effected us because of the past , in present times , may not do so . The conclusion is our present activities can change what was going to be due from our past , won’t necessarily happen . Equally , our future activities can still be affected by both our long distant past as well as our present activity. Or the future will be predominantly affected by only the recent past and not a long distant past . In this way, the past , present, and future and our conscious actions are deeply entangled within space time . Its only our consciousness and the choices it makes and who it follows that cause all activities within spacetime or their influence can be reversed or halted . Thus, the Vedic veiw is Einstein was correct to say past , present and futures are intertwined , we can by our activites effect the past , but not necessarily step back into the past. However, because the material universes are cyclic, they are created maintained and destroyed time and time again , who is to say that history is not repeating itself over and over again but with some slight variations. It’s the modes of nature that are functional goodness, passion, and ignorance with practically unlimited consequences Bhagavad Gita indicates. No one can stop doing something for a moment. The main recommendation is … dont get entangled in all parts of the Vedas , but only the Bhakti yoga sastras .Rise above the material aspects of the Vedas .
