[MIKE] If you say that metta states will be transcended, then you'll be joining Bill! for another 500 rebirths as a fox! [ED] Mike, I asserted nothing; I asked a question. How do you know for certain that metta states will never be trancended? What other states will never be transcended? [Mike] Well, a 'state' implies something temporary (at least in human terms), so that should answer that particular question.
[ED] All 'elevated' mind-states are temporary in the sense that if one ceases to do zazen or vipassana or whatever other meditation practice, they will evaporate. Yes?
