The feeling of otherness was strongly based on the fact that the seeds of thought were emerging from that point like if an invisible hand were disposing them or ordering them or something similar, like if were an intentionality behind. Usually I have difficulty with Dhyana/Samadhi distinction and terminology but definitely it seems much more related to what you describe here as Dhyana. But it was the very threshold, I suppose that if I would had managed to stay unattached to that sensation of otherness, probably I would remain there and ultimately go to the source and melt with “that” in a sort of Samadhi, or at least that´s what seems more plausible.
But ultimately the experience by it´s own simply had help me to grasp a better comprehension of the system and of a lot of concepts, by which ultimately I made a description of the universe in the Pantacle design of the Neophyte grade. Also near after that experience I knew somebody who awakened the “Nephesh demon” in me pushing me out of work, which correspond also to that grade, and apart other similar things related to that grade that as a whole have convinced me that the system serves well and with pretty accuracy as a coordinate system on which situate your own process of initiation, something of what I was not so aware previously, definitely. End with that, sorry for the extension but I think it needed a little context.
