Hey there,

I have two particular questions on time travel:

1. If one were inclined to believe in mental time travel, would the traveler re-enter the same timeline or branch off into/create a parallel one?

2. Since several mystic gurus claim that selflessness is an absolute necessity for it (so memorizing developments on the stock market, lottery numbers or gambling odds would be out of the question), would the wish to erase my own existence to grant my mother a shot at a more fulfilling life qualify, or are 'suicidal tendencies' of this kind selfish in and of themselves because I wouldn't mind one bit not existing in the first place?
