As author Gregg Braden explains in The Isaiah Effect, time is not "just" linear with a past, present and future, it also has depth.

The depth of time consists of all the possible prayers and time lines that could ever be prayed or exist.

In fact, all of our prayers have already been answered.

We just activate the one we're living through our feelings.

This, he says, is how we create our reality - by choosing it with our feelings.
