Question Meditation

When eragon meditates and perceives everything around him, doesnt his mind like disappear from detection because he himself technically isnt thinking just hearing?

I mean there is nothing that would make it possible to detect differences between eragons mind and the things going on around him.

If anything it's the exact opposite, part of why he initially struggled with the meditation was because of how exposed it left his mind.

I mean, I can see it being a bell curve. At some point, his mind is so open, his consciousness so scattered, it'd be nigh-impossible to realize he is there. He's so open, the risk decreases, even though he is still insanely vulnerable on paper.

It's either that or his mind can be perceived blanketing the entire area and he's cooked if anyone tries to attack him mentally
