The interesting thing is not the 'meta' prefix it's the concept of creating.

"If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion."

We attribute experience to finite individuals as if there were such things. What we call "the cockroach" and what we call "Gregor" have in common is experience . Even if finite cockroach gradually loses all memory of finite Gregor, the experience, as it's not spatio-temporal, will not fade.
