You cannot think in reverse, cannot unthink a thought even if you can forget it, and it is the same with feelings and intentions. Every thought, every movement of the mind or heart is an energetic change, it incurs a palpable cost in the day's gift, and this within a system that is far larger and includes what you take as your boundaries. Consciousness, however, does not participate in the same energetic economy and can be moved radically by the slightest touch, or by none at all. It is neither energetic nor temporal, but awareness of this is masked by identification, by fascination, with the physical and informational process of experience.
