Thank for your recommendations and your insightful accounts my friend. I will put them to practice and observation on subsequent experiences.

I believe you are inferring an interesting point that is the broadening of consciousness that occurs when the scan is happening. It is as if consciousness seizes to be a point like a monad with its manifested body and becomes broader and unfamiliar to our regular senses.

I believe you are familiar with Carlos Castaneda, given your nationality. His master teaches the way to keep consciousness in a certain place to not make reality coherence go astray. It is all very interesting. He says that depending on the place of agglutination of a stream of light in the light body of a person, the dimension experienced shifts accordingly.
