As someone who has been on this path for a long time, I'll tell you this.
No one can tell you how to do it, but there ARE some tips that'll help you along.
It depends on what you experience, and where you dedicate your focus.
Yes, meditation is key...but so is deep questioning on the question " WHO AM I?"... if you come to the realization that you are everything, and nothing...the infinite, and the finite...that you have infinite potential within yourself, as well as the power of the stars burning within you... then you are on the right track.
Realize that pain is an illusion, but suffering leads to great spiritual leaps.
Just realize that all things are temporary in this life except your true self - your essence...
We are not our body, nor our thoughts, nor our job title...we are much more than that.
Focus on controlling your breathing (breathe from your belly) because it brings you into this present moment..which is the only moment there is.
Every moment is only NOW...
Also, make it a habit to be the silent witness to your thoughts...
You are not the thoughts....but you can observe them...watch the patterns in them...ask yourself why these thoughts arise...but do not judge them... let them flow through like the wind.
I also advise learning the energy centers that are within yourself (your chakras)... when they are off-balance, it is easy to notice certain mood swings/illnesses that arise... so I suggest looking into that as well.
Just remember...the answers lie within yourself.
You and I are one, my brother.
Namaste.
(I acknowledge that you are another me.. or, I see myself in you.)

How is there even a matter of time at all in this?
because we are flowing forward from the moment of our creation, and our perseption of that flow is what determines time for us
time is relative to the observable point
I still dont see how 'time' or a 'schedule' would matter then. Things must take place with order...steps cant be skipped...and time makes no matter.
Yea but If I have all the power I can control the knowledge of when such events would occur........
there are clues if you look up/out into space....think cycles...
If you have power you can MAKE things happen...
Part of the schedule I think would be things that TPTB can't control and things they can control and create.....
They hoard the knowledge of "for sure" events to ochestrate their plan around it...
They can't control everything and they know it...which is why they are trying harder and harder....
it's like they want to live one last wealthy hurrah before they get called out

For you to see the light, darkness is required, for that the light shines the brightest. in a dark place.
If everything was only light, than you would have been blinded.

Why can't we see beyond that?
