Marsha:
If the two terms, Dynamic Quality and Sunyata, are synonymous, than perhaps to read what a twenty-five-century philosophy/science of mind tradition might explain could be helpful to someone with an open mind. I find no need to paraphrase and add endless jargonized fluff to the quote; I am not needing to impress anyone. Since the two terms represent the "nondualistic", explanation can be tricky. And since in the past you have so easily swept away my own statements with comments suggesting I am misunderstanding Buddhism, I would expect that you would appreciate these more direct quotes.
If you have an additional, specific, well-meaning question, I will attempt a reply, otherwise, "Bugger off!". Your whining is tiring. If you want endless regurgitated paraphrasing, there are others for you to read. You can skip my posts.
Marsha
