There is no doubt Tesla was able to tap into exactly what you are saying. Consciousness exists all around us, every ready to provide with the answers. Where do we find consciousness. To me it is summed up in this "the kingdom of heaven is within".

It is only by going within that we find the entire universe. "As within, so without".

We get glimpses of what is really going on with the "coincidences" we see around us. Of course, another term for that is synchronicity. For those who are truly tapped in, every moment of everyday is a synchronistic event....

And that is what being is....being the receiver of what the universe is transmitting.
