Actual self
The actual self can be broken down into the current consciousnesses that you are experiencing, the past consciousnesses that you have experienced, and future consciousnesses that you will experience. This can be restated as the current awaremoments that have your ixperiencitness (that you experience), the past awaremoments, awaresections, and awarepaths that you have experienced, and the future awaremoments, awaresections, and awarepaths that you will experience.
The actual self can be modified by the actual self. The actual self can be aware of at least part of the potential self. Then the actual self can make decisions on which awarepaths or awaresection it wishes or desires to work toward creating. This is not much difference from realizing that you could go to Europe, next year, on a vacation or as an adventure, and then deciding that you will work toward that goal by getting the money together, the vacation time and a house setter. The difference between this future vacation analogy and the actual self modifying future aspects of itself is that you are doing this for other bodies than what appears to be your present body. Other conscious bodies can be tied to your current conscious self or current awaremoment by having the same ixperiencitness. The awaremoment only experiences itself because the physapath that produces it, only produces that particular mentapath, that often is only a singular awarepath. So if you could travel into the future or past and could see this future or past version of yourself you would not be experiencing what they are, they would not be experiencing what you are, they would seem just like other people to you, but they would have your ixperiencitness. Because you believe that a future you will experience a vacation to Europe you sacrifice your self now in some ways for that future experience that you believe you will experience. If you traveled into the future you could see that person (your future you) experiencing that vacation. How much would you still suffer today so a future you can be happier or suffer less? All of the different physapaths, physasections, and physamoments that are created in different physical bodies and produce the same ixperiencitness can be viewed as one extremely long awarepath with the same ixperiencitness. The believed and actual conscious distance between any two point on this awarepath can be different. For instance, you can believe that you are going to experience going to Europe next year but in reality not experience going there for a much longer time period and not be aware of this longer time period.
