I'm not a native English speaker, but can process really be "permanent"? Perhaps "continuous" or did you want to ask, is jhana a permanent _state_?

I guess with the meaning of process it is a series of steps or actions to reach an end. In that format I had before It was confusing. Thank you for bringing that to my attention so I can make my question Clear for others.

Is Jhana like a meditative absorption state? I've come across this term.

Is Jhana like a barrier, once broken, you go onto the next barrier, and so on and so on. Is this process a permanent effect on the mind or a temporary effect of the mind? Do you basically start over from stage 1 every time, does your body ever become accustomed to it, and do you have to constantly renew the Jhana over and over in order to progress?
