Stopping time

Well we can never really tell for sure if anybody even has one consciousness, so I don't think they can scan for it.

Yes. Probably not possible. Or, at least would require a major breakthrough.

But that's the whole thing; you can't know a consciousness really exists for sure unless you experience it.

Right. Don't see how we could.

Yeah what you're describing sounds very similar! For most of it I just felt like all I was doing was thinking, and sometimes not with "bluebird's mind" but just "a mind", almost like I had disassociated myself with my thoughts completely, it was very interesting. However once I hit the freeze in time I didn't feel consciousness at all, I felt like an outside entity or a spare part that had nothing to do with thinking, so that bit sounds different

Sounds and seems to me like your mind remembers what ego death feels like. And why wouldn't it? That experience is part of your supermind.

I think DrTechnical raises a point worth mentioning.
Dissocaciated, outside entity no thought.
What would our stripped ego be like? No thinking, just steaming consciousness.

"Consciousness itself is undemanding but put into context, it requires ever elaborate and shifting thought."

if it was an experience of egoless perception, then why so different than the Tibetan "clear light" dream?

I am sure there is a symbol that represents this quite nicely.

Unfortunately the ant is deaf.
