Grace is the Currency of True Abundance

Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than abundance itself.
— Rumi

Below is a letter I was invited to write to the staff and community of the Leela School of Awakening. It feels so good to acknowledge what I receive. Such sweetness, such unexpected swells of joy that reveal ways to give …

May you be inspired with fresh awareness to open to your own gratitude as you acknowledge all that you receive, unexpectedly, in unexpected ways. What natural and concrete ways is your joy revealing ways to give?

“Beloved Sangha,

As one of the donors, I have been invited to share with all of you my love and experience of the Leela School of Awakening.  I am so happy to have the chance to try and articulate something I treasure with all my heart.

Some time ago I had a beautiful real – I – zation of Love’s abundance.  I had been reflecting on the fact that even though I have a minimal amount of money in the bank and meager income, I somehow always have what I need and a little bit more.  Unexpectedly, unexpected resources arrive to support whatever is needed, free of the circumstances.  And I also noticed a natural joy, discovering ways to give that little bit more as an acknowledgment for what I receive.   Deep swells of gratitude began to gently wash through in response to this reflection, and a transmission of gentle and pure kindness offered these loving words,  “Grace is the currency of true abundance.”

In this clarity, the history of industry, the trance of finance was seen all the way through and disappeared.

Love is constantly giving of Itself.

Ahhh, Grace is the currency of true abundance.  Yes.  Love is constantly giving of Itself.  I recall Eli saying that gratitude is Love’s response to Grace.  It feels so good.  So free, empty, and open.

The support that the Leela School of Awakening provides to wake up to the Truth of what and who I am, and to remain true to That which I love most in myself and all my relations is unequaled by anything I have ever experienced.  All wanting comes to rest here.  What an undeservedly lucky life!

Giving through donation is a concrete way of acknowledging my Love for the Grace of this precious and TRUE mystery school. Especially to Eli, the beautiful loving staff, and all of those who give their whole life to support our awakening for the benefit of all. 

But the school doesn’t belong to just Eli and the staff.

The Leela School of Awakening is my school, my Beloved.  I recognize you. You are my heart. I am your heart.

I welcome and invite you to explore what the Leela School of Awakening is for you.  What brings you?  What do you receive?  What is here?  What’s possible? 

In ever-deepening love and immeasurable gratitude for each and all of you … my Beloved Self”
