That which you describe is the usual deterministic scenario, isn't it. However, I don't think whether or not the universe is fundamentally deterministic has much to do with how we experience ourselves or it,, to come back to your meditation question - I believe it'll be the same whether there is true randomness or not. Free will at that level is an illusion either way. This feeling of detached observation of self which you describe has something to do with brain function I'm sure, less with fundamental questions of determinism. If you're interested, you should read up on the different concepts of free will, as should I one day
