What I've been calling "time travel" is a technique for personal growth. I imagine an idealized future world I'd like to live in (ie. using the time travel mechanisms in the article) and imagine how people and/or myself might respond to events differently based on how the world works. I imagine what I would do with my time, how I'd go about it, and what kind of person I'd be. Then I choose to be that person now. It's like my present self is reaching out and pulling a future self backwards in time to their past.
