Ultimately there is no difference between past, present and
future. There is only this eternally present Present. So this
sgForums account name you created is quite a nice name... I wonder
how did you thought of that initially?
Changes occur in timelessness, in the timeless Now (not a Now in
relation to past and future), because timelessness is reality. It
only appears to have reality when we analysis in linear mode. So
strangely to say, Cause and Effect happens simultaneously as you
cannot really separate the two, or in timelessness, everything is
Unmanifested. Nothing was ever born.

- under the last part, IV. Karma and free will:
Cause and effect, just like birth and death, lose their
significance at the Enlightened level because at the level of basic
nature there is no one to receive the effect of Karma, whether it
is good or bad. Therefore, at the extreme, when one is Enlightened,
the law of Karma is not applicable. All that the Enlightened one
does, says, or thinks is through free will, a manifestation of
basic nature, and not the effect of past Karma.
No wonder Thusness told Longchen,

Possibly but not conclusively. I do not deny that there are just
certain aspects of consciousness that require us to work
undisturbed deligently. Sufficient level of clarity is required to
serve as the condition and momentum for deeper level of insight to
take place. For this, one might have to leave behind normal
everyday life and live in solitude for a period of time.
But in the final stage, one's action is totally
indeterminable.
