The liberated field of energy of the earth element displays the glorious warmth and wealth of earth. This energy is inexhaustible and free to whomever needs it. The kind of wealth we are discussing is reflected by the environment but it is central to our being. With the discovery of intrinsic space we find that we really do have all that we need. With this recognition we could realise that we are already totally secure in the primordial nature of our being. We have within us the wisdom of equanimity and primordial freedom from attachment. Mind is sufficient to itself and so is our world. Mind requires nothing but is the ground of everything – the unemptiable source of all phenomena.
