This is the central essence of Brahmanism and Vedic Hinduism, and also the very reason which I meditate/pray/vision quest/eat mushrooms
"We cannot borrow God.. We must effect His new incarnation from within ourselves. Divinity must
descend, somehow, into the matter of our own existence and participate in this peculiar life-process.. The chief aim then of Indian thought is to
unveil and integrate into consciousness what has thus been resisted and hidden by the forces of life and the supreme and characteristic achievement of the Brahman mind was its discovery of the Self (atman) as an independent, imperishable entity
, underlying the conscious personality and bodily frame. Everything we normally know and express belongs to a sphere of change, the sphere of time and space, but this Self (atman) is forever changeless, beyond measure, beyond space and the veiling net of causality.." Heinrich Zimmer

yr just moving to fast. the cosmic change of meditation takes a LIFETIME to "unveil and integrate" heightened spiritual awareness into the plane of our everyda so-called reality. Revelation comes in microseconds, the other millions of seconds fly by rather uneventful, but the the Epiphany of Eternity, while brief, transcends the limits of time. If you want to interconnect with Eternity, you are going to have slow down my brother. take yr time
