Mind would abide in its natural dimension

Dudjom Rinpoche said that one must keep one’s body in equanimous stasis in order that the spatial nerves would be in natural alignment – and the spatial winds unobstructed.  If the spatial winds were unobstructed, then mind would abide in its natural dimension where the spatial essences manifest as primal creativity.

A ‘dangerous’ game

Creating conducive circumstances, for ourselves and others, involves planning and making efforts which in many respects is a ‘dangerous’ game.  Plans can be made and plans can fall apart, but that is no reason not to make plans.  The failure and success of plans simply gives us an opportunity to experience failure and success as the ornaments of equanimity.  If we have some sense of space, this is a distinct possibility.

We really do have all that we need

  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.
