If that means to separate compassion from lovingkindness, and have lovingkindness on its own, or compassion on its own, I don't think it is possible to do that because I believe that compassion is a necessary prerequisite for the arising of a true lovingkindness. And separating lovingkindness gives us a very shallow meditation. Sometimes it is possible to separate compassion, if we are doing say a meditation on compassion and equanimity, but our understanding of the Brahma Viharas is that they can never really be separated because each of them supports the others. So we may actually use it separately, compassion, because if we look at Dukkha, compassion is a response, but lovingkindness, the wish for the ending of suffering and for peace, tends to naturally flow from compassion anyway, so even though if we separated them there will be the understanding of lovingkindness, so I can't see how compassion and lovingkindness could be separated. And this is our understanding of the Pali word of Metta. The way they use Metta in Thai means actually the combination of these qualities. It is a bit like the Four Noble Truths, we can't really separate the Four Noble Truths because they are an entity in themselves, they go together.
