Welcome to my awakening.
After careers in investment banking and as a startup founder, I embarked on a consciousness seeking journey with the questions: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I be happy? The quest to answer these questions have guided me for the last decade and provide the content for this newsletter.
Here, I have been sharing my journey of working hard to live and to actually embody what I have learnt over the past years. It’s the process of moving from intellectual knowledge to wisdom to full embodiment. Walking the talk with all the obstacles I encountered on the path.
neos·life, the new earth operating system for life, is the synthesis of everything I have learnt. Since October 2023, building neos·life has become my full-time occupation. Since July 2023, neos·life has its own newsletter here where us co-founders and co-creators write about its evolution together. This ‘my awakening’ newsletter continues to be my personal journey.
My story from investment banker to truth seeker in a nutshell? You can read it here.
I hope you find it a source of inspiration and insight. Feel free to get in touch by replying to my emails.
My pledge
"who am i and what am i here to do?" are the most difficult and the most important questions in life. when i know who i am i know what i need to do. my being informs my doing. most of us spend our whole life trying to become someone. it is a painful and never-ending process that i know all too well. i have spent the last eight years looking for the answer and i am committed for the rest of my life to live it and empower those who seek it to do so as well. when i am, everything changes.
what we seek is ever present and within us. it was, is and always will be. being stuck in the mind keeps us distracted from actually feeling yet that is what we yearn for the most. many of us experience something constantly nagging in the background. our drive to achieve and to live our genius becomes the nightmare of the insatiable need to obtain approval from others, trying to become someone.
but there's nothing to achieve or to become, we already are. the moment we recognise our eternal nature, we move out of our ego and into the heart and that's when we start flowing with life experiencing the feeling of bliss, love and serenity - no matter what is happening. am i in this state continuously? absolutely not. i am very human yet i have experienced this state and i am working hard at staying in it and not to fall back into the prison of the self.
before, i used to be an investment banker and startup founder. if the above sounds spiritual to you, it is. i used to be an atheist and i have come to understand that the answers lie beyond the realm of perception of the mind. yet you don't have to believe anything, experience is the most powerful teacher, the only teacher really. and you are your own most powerful teacher. no one else except you knows what you need to do.
as a coach and founder of neoslife, i am deeply committed to live the highest expression of myself and to empower everyone around me. it is a continuous labour of love. and it is work. it is the very work we all came here to do. the moment you experience your highest state of being, you know that it is.
if the above resonates within you, i invite you to get in touch. there is no randomness in life, it is simply the mind being incapable of seeing the connection.
as steve jobs famously said: "you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.... so you have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
with love, vincent
