I'm going to meet myself of ten years ago by time machine.

Is this correct?

Could you give me a more natural sentence?

Thanks

This indicates that the traveler is not going to participate in, but rather observe the activities.  If that is the meaning, it is correct.

I'm not going to participate in the past, otherwise the future would change.
