[MD] The first cut.

[MarshaV]

Mark,

In my understanding there is no homunculus to be a mystic.  As I have stated many times before, it is my understanding that within the MoQ, the  
“self” is a flow of ever-changing, conditionally co-dependent, impermanent and conceptualized static patterns of inorganic, biological, social and intellectual value in the infinite field of Dynamic Quality. 

So how could someone BE a mystic?  Maybe by Dave Harding's pronouncement?  I don't think so.  BUt fhow about you?  What kind of transformation are you working towards in your garage?
