In samadhi it is the inner mental, vital, physical which are separated from the outer, no longer covered by it – therefore they can freely have inner experiences. The outer mind is either quiescent or in some way reflects or shares the experience. As for the central consciousness being separated from all mind that would mean a complete trance without any recorded experiences.
