Fund of Abundance
At the heart of the Fund of Abundance
is a celebration of the era of plenty we live in
and a bold experiment in human kindness
New Economic Paradigm
The Fund of Abundance compliments the richness found in Communities of Resonance by providing finances to meet the residents' unique needs. In doing so, the fund empowers residents to live continuously in the resonance of the moment, free of scarcity, aligned with their true needs and embedded in a generous way of life.
​
Freedom From Scarcity
By serving as an alternative source of income usually provided by traditional forms of employment, the Fund of Abundance allows residents to explore their true callings without fear of financial scarcity. It opens the possibility for new orders of personal and collective wellbeing through: -An expanded sense of personal worth beyond one's economic value. -Relief from the pressure to spend most of life working in order to satisfy financial needs, often at the detriment of psychological wellbeing. -Repurposing that time for what truly resonates, in a manner that is maximally fulfilling, to enable sustainable growth and the realization of our fullest potential. -Reimagining our educational, healthcare, political and other systems to focus entirely on human and environmental wellbeing, uninhibited by imbalances in current financial systems. ​
True Needs
By encouraging psycho-spiritual growth, The Fund of Abundance enables long-term residents to remain in continuous alignment with their true needs.True needs are free of greed, confusion or fear, reflecting no more and no less than what is required for us to feel complete- materially and psychologically. ​ Today we've normalised material excess to compensate for our unmet psychological needs- profoundly upsetting the balance of our social and environmental communities. The Fund proposes that in this era of abundance it is possible to honour material needs without compromising psychological needs. By promoting widespread happiness, self-awareness, resiliency, connectivity, purpose, and balance humans naturally consume less, addressing many of today's greatest challenges.
Generosity
The Fund of Abundance is energised solely by generosity, through social welfare grants, donations from long-term residents, from participants of Experiences in Resonance, or from the wider community out of gratitude for any services received. Participants of the Fund, commit to living solely from generosity, both in what they offer and the kindness they receive to meet their needs. This trust in others naturally promotes a kinder perception of human nature. It challenges the over-reliance on contracts to safeguard our interests, and opens up possibilities for more generous human relationships and social frameworks. ​ The ability to contribute without expecting anything in return isn't only enriching to the fabric of our communities, but also to our personal psychologies. It indicates a full appreciation of our present-moment experience, unburdened by fears or unrealistic desires tied to the future. ​
Three Convictions
​
Any longterm resident of a community of resonance who wishes access to the fund is able to commit to the following:
-
To live solely in accordance with our true material and psychological needs so that we are never burdened with excess, or reduced by deprivation, and so that our lives contribute to the balance and flourishment of our wider social and ecological communities.
-
To realise our fullest potential through unwavering commitment to the resonance of the moment while courageously reintegrating all psychological divis.
-
That as our unique gifts and callings naturally flourish, they be shared freely and humbly without accepting any financial or material reimbursement.
