Hi nameless,
It may be the case that the instant something is experienced it can't be altered, however one monent after that, it can be.
Nope! This IS the "moment after that"!
All moments of existence exist Now!
All moments already are as they are!
Just like now! And Now! And Now!
What is, is, Now!
Every moment of existence exists Now!
"The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be. They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman
All 'eternity' at once; Now!!
There is only one moment (Planck moment; 10^-43/sec; "almost" one billion trillion trillion trillionths of a second!!!) of the entirety of existence/Reality/the Universe!
All existence, ever, is one, literally, 'timeless' moment!
Now!
There is no 'before' or 'after' except as linear thoughts, memories... all Now!
Due to our mind being severely limited in its ability to hold anything in short term memory for longer than a second or two, we suffer from a tendency to remember things incorrectly.
Memories are thou7ghts. Thoughts exist and are perceived like anything else, Now!
We do not 'store' thoughts, we do not create thoughts, we perceive them, from every possible Perspective!
Sometimes we might recall something we thought we saw a second ago which was actually not present, and rather is a result of some kind of unconscious priming of a previous occurrence.
No such thing as 'unConsciousness'!
"Consciousness is the ground of ALL being!" - Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics
Neither can there be a 'previous occurrence' in a synchronous Universe! Other than as 'memory' which is not necessarily 'attached' to any other occurrence. A memory is a thought, nothing more.
Thoughts exist, we perceive them Now!
Hamburgers exist, they are perceived Now! Dreams exist, we perceive them Now!
Other times, we might not even perceive the thing instantly and instead we have a form of destructive interferrence to that very memory, causing us to only experience the altered version.
All perceptions are instantaneous!
A unit of perception = one (Planck) moment!
A 'moment' is a-temporal!
So experience actually is constantly being altered every second,
MNope, it is being uniquely perceived every moment!
If you think that you can alter Reality, just unhit your thumb with that hammer!
Make all those little vexations disappear... It sounds like you are talking of the (non)law of attraction/wishes! If it were scientifically or philosophically valid, we would all be healthy, wealthy and wise!
We ain't.
We perceive as we must. We 'behave' as we must!
The entire Universe isn't going to be altered to suit your comfort level. Think Butterfly Effect!
like a constant retelling of reality as we access memories and rewrite them as we access them.
That is a 'linearification' of that which is, other than as 'thought', non-linear!
Reality is a synchrony of moments! Now!
We all perceive the same One Reality, Now!
All Perspectives are unique, Consciousness is One.
This is why eye witness testimony is taken with a grain of salt in the judicial system.
Again, Perspective! All Perspectives are True features of Truth/Reality!!
We might think we saw a criminal with a red sweater but actually we are recalling an earlier memory of aunt Jenny in her red sweater. The mind is totally fallible.
That sort of obsolete 'cause and effect' 'therapy has failed because there is no Universal 'causality', it only exists in the 'linear thoughts'.
"'Cause and effect' is a clumsy way of saying two mutually arising features of the same event!"
It really is simple.
There is no need to offend Occam any further.
The 'complete set', Universal, all inclusive, consists of all the 'exclusive' subsets!
Every Perspective is unique, by definition/nature.

"For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" - Book of Fudd
"The complete Universe (Reality/Truth/God/'Self!'/Tao/Brahman... or any feature herein...) can be defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" - Book of Fudd
ALL INCLUSIVE!!!
