It's not my understanding of the MMY's teaching (Samyama). As I understand it, Samyama flows and go thru stages (processes, refinement) that "evolves" into a samadhi "stage" and not vice versa. Only later on, after more practice, the states of samyama and samadhi almost become one almost instantly. <snip>
