In my view : The "sequence of now events" that you speak of are actually called "frames of reference". Like a deck of cards, all these frames of reference can be stacked, one upon the next one. That whole stack, when viewed from our mortal perspective, is considered as your sequence of events. You shuffle the deck and you get any multitude of combinations, but when you square the deck up again, "nice and tidy", you still have one sequence of events in the stack. It happens no matter how you shuffle - a multitude of configurations, but only one sequence of events in total. The composition of that deck is all of your frames of reference whether "real" or "potential".
When we communicate with someone whom we give a certain amount of authority to (when trusting their opinion), or our higher self, or someone that we perceive as an "external" entity, this entity is someone "outside" of our own "personal conscious system" - though we are giving them our trust (for an answer or what not). Although that entity is right there being seen, felt or heard, is - at that time - sharing one specific frame of reference that you both "happen" to be aware of.
If you pay closer attention, you might realize that that entity's frame of reference & your own frame differ - ever so slightly. They're standing there with a different appearance, mass, opinions, etc., but you are currently sharing a "joining of minds" simply because you are in the "presence of each other". That event might easily appear to be a result of your own scheduling or arrangements, but in reality, it could have just as easily been made kairotically; acausally (i.e.: related by meaning rather than causation) - you wanted to know something & the "forces that be" caught wind of it.

there must be a sequence of action->consequence events and memory. That allows for meaning. Without that linear sequence, you have nothing.

Action doesn't necessarily have to be from a "sequence" of events - it can also be something "initiated" at a whim.
Consequence might appear as a "result" - but it can also be "all that is left over" after "every other matter of opinion" is removed from the equation.
Memory is only the ingrained "imprint" after we have accepted that there may be "no more contributing factors" to an event experienced.

So if you consider my first example (the deck of cards) - look at them as if they are all "transparent", resting in the stack now. What do you have ? You have multiple frames of reference with no distinction between what is at the top of the deck, in its middle, or at the bottom - the illusion is with "which card you want to isolate from the rest of the stack." The stack is still all there. You're just being selective about any given event - That which you select is now the current state of "now".
