Just a comment, that consciousness can be interpreted to be "a subset, a property of material existence" does not mean that it has in fact been scientifically established as being a function of a material structure(i.e. the brain). Also in QM there is a group of physicists( e.g N.Bohr) who have argued that the manifestation of physical reality(the collapse of the probability wave function) depends on the presence of a conscious observer. I do agree with your points re the invalidity of trying to connect the subjective experiences of meditation with the laws pf physics.
