Mark, As I wrote yesterday, both Dynamic Quality and Sunyata, are nondualistic and, therefore, difficult to discuss. And I am but a mere student of both the MoQ and Buddhism. I use my own words when I think they might contribute something; otherwise, I consider opinions, yours and mine, like little puffy clouds in a big blue sky. ;-) If you want endless paraphrasing and fluff, there are others more willing to provide you with what you want. Rather than offer opinion, I would suggest a meditation practice.
While I am a decent cook, when it comes to making cookies and tortes, I do use a recipe. I have one outstanding recipe for a Raspberry Marzipan Torte. December 22nd is Yule, the Winter Solstice, I will be making cookies today for Thursday's celebration. Goddess bles you.
