my awakening - neoslife Vincent Daranyi

Love is the only answer to all our problems.
It transcends gender, race, politics, opinions, beliefs.
It transcends everything.
Thanks to some recent challenging experiences around the emerging community of neoslife, I have realised that neoslife at its core is really about one thing:
How much can I love.
How much can I love in the face of disagreement, ego, separation, judgement, conflict and adversity.
The question is not am I right.
The question is how much can I love.

This is not an airy fairy spiritual idea but a very real day-to-day challenge to be fully embodied.
Talk is cheap.
If I truly want to change the paradigm, I have to love no matter what others think, say or do.
This is the challenge.
To unconditionally love all the time and everyone.
I don’t have to agree with you but I can always chose to respond with love.
Love transcends all boundaries.
It might be the hardest thing to ever ‘do’ and it’s also the most transformative.
I pledge that I will embody this to the best of my abilities.
I thank everyone that challenges me and shows me where I need to learn to love more.
You’re all my teachers and I bow to everyone of you for showing me my wounds so I can heal them.
I see you.
I love you no matter how much it hurts sometimes.
We can create a beautiful world, a world that the world has never seen before and cannot even imagine yet.
That’s how powerful we are.
All we have to do is to love a little more, a little more and a little more.
So that’s what I’ll do.
Every day a little more.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for being patient with me.
I see you, I thank every one of you.
I’m deeply grateful.
I truly love you.
What does this mean?
After a magical retreat earlier this month, I had a number of challenging experiences with team members and participants.
Taking time to deeply reflect on these exchanges, I shared the above message in the neoslife WhatsApp group here.
My previous perspective was that all (individual and global) problems are due to a lack of consciousness, of self awareness.
However, these experiences have helped me see that there’s a simpler and clearer way to put this:
All problems are the result of a lack of love.
Whatever is seemingly done to me is a product of my perceptions, conditioning and ultimately my unhealed wounds and at the same time a product of the doer’s perceptions, conditioning and ultimately their unhealed wounds.
Whatever we say or do to each other is therefore never personal but simply a reflection of where we are at — both on the doing and the receiving end.
And where I am at is simply a function of how much I have come to be at peace.
As Rumi said:
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Therefore, all interpersonal challenges are a result of a lack of love for oneself.
And as I cannot give to others what I don’t have for myself, a lack of self love expresses itself in how I perceive, respond to and treat others.
This is what all great seers taught us:
Love thy neighbour, enemy and everyone as yourself.
Though we might look at it like a reminiscent of ancient times and only applicable to enlightened people, this timeless wisdom is as valid and as important today.
And it’s achievable by every single human being.
I believe all of you readers of this newsletter wish for a more peaceful, more harmonious and more loving world.
The good news: We have the power to create it any day just like I have the power to create a fit and healthy body.
The ‘bad’ news: I cannot wait for others to do this work for me.
I have to create it and it starts with how I receive, respond to and treat others.
There’s no running away or hiding from it. I have to do this (inner) work.
Life is providing an infinite amount of opp

On 2/4/24, five months after I first set foot on this beautiful land, we signed the contract to acquire the estate that is becoming neoslife.
It was the only land I ever looked at and I knew right away this is it. How the land found me and everything that happened after was nothing short of miraculous and full of synchronicities. Miracles are real if we allow ourselves to see and act on them.
Signing the purchase agreement turned out to be an emotional day for me. I’m full of gratitude for all who have supported me on this journey till now and to the many more to come. So many have messaged me, strangers and friends alike, from all corners of the world that want to live there, learn, contribute, participate or understand what it is.
It’s been an intense, beautiful, exhausting, fun, scary and humbling five months all at the same time. I learnt that nothing is impossible when we want something from the bottom of our hearts — and it activates huge resources and support. I cannot wait to see what we will all be creating there together starting this July. I know it will be magical.
The human story is yearning for a new paradigm, a new way of being in harmony with each other, nature and ourselves. Adversity, war, conflicts and diseases were all necessary for us to remember who we are not. We have played this game of fear and animosity long enough.
We’re ready to wake up to a new story and to bring paradise to earth. neoslife is intended to support us with that and that one day there will be many ‘neoslives’ and with all of us living in love, peace and harmony with each other, nature and ourselves. It might sound like a utopia but it really is the future we are creating.
We’ve been gifted such a beautiful world, let’s also make our human experience an extraordinary and beautiful one — because we can.
That today may be the day where we start writing a new chapter of the human journey. I know we will make it happen.
With all my love, thank youVincent🙏🏻💫❤️🚀

Fourth resident of neoslife
Please welcome Neo. On Easter Sunday, this eight week old face looked at me at a seemingly random encounter. I wasn’t planning on getting a dog just like I did not expect the land to find me at an airport encounter. She was gifted to me, literally and figuratively.
Life is magical when I get out of the way and let it take its course. Now female Neo is part of the family and will move with me onto the land in July.

Earlier this week, I attended the ChangeNOW conference in Paris.
The conference website states:
WE ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION TO A SUSTAINABLE WORLD. We lead and amplify concrete actions that inspire and change norms, companies and individuals. Step into a sustainable world - THE LARGEST EVENT OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE PLANET.
It was a three-day conference but 24 hours after touching down I was back in Lisbon.
The conference was a full-on display why the world is not improving. None of the many incredible solutions will solve the problem of hunger, poverty, climate change, eco destruction or anything else.
Because none of them addresses the root cause of the problems we find ourselves in: Our way of being.
Here’s a 60 seconds video of me at the conference explaining.
The conference was heartless and many speakers inauthentic. The opening statements could not have been less inspiring. From the feel it could as well have been a banking conference.
What’s the problem?
The world we live in is a direct reflection of who we are being as a civilisation of eight billion people.
If I want to change the world so that I look better, become richer or more important I will not make a positive impact.
Neither if my solutions are focused on external, outside of me, solutions, no matter how brilliant or well intended.
When I create from ego or fear, what I create will be ego-driven and fear-driven and thereby amplify the problem not solve it.
What needs to precede any desire to change something is the desire to change oneself first.
Whatever I am doing is a function of who I am being.
The reason the world is not improving despite the millions of people trying to solve its problems and the trillions of dollars that are poured into the supposed solutions is simply because none are addressing the root cause:
Our separate sense of self.
As long as I believe my life is about me and I need to have more money, power or control to be safe or feel good, whatever I create will create more of the same.
Social media is a beautiful example. It was meant to make the world more connected but it really has created more silos, polarisation and separation. Not because there’s anything wrong with the technology but because technology simply amplifies who we are being.
AI will be the biggest amplifier of this and it will crush us if we don’t wake up from the illusion of being separate.
What’s the ‘solution’?
My primary job as a human is to evolve. This is the very purpose of life. If I am not evolving I am wasting my life because this is what I came here to do.
After I exit the body I am in stasis again and hence the opportunity to evolve is lost.
As a collective, we are meant to evolve from feeling separate from each other and therefore fighting and competing our way through life to remembering that we are individual expressions of one universal consciousness that simply uses the human life to experience itself and evolve.
We are this consciousness and we are playing with ourselves the human game of life.
How? By having forgotten who we truly are.
And the ‘job’ we came here to ‘do’ is to wake up from the dream of separation and to remember who we really are thereby returning to a state of pure love for life, the world, each other and most important

This April, I am inviting eight participants to a transformational retreat on the future neoslife estate in Alentejo, Portugal.
You will be guided by the best facilitators that have supported and catapulted me forward on my journey of growth.
Building on the retreats we started last year, in a first, all of us are joining forces to bring you the most transformative experience yet.
We will embark on two different journeys with the Toad and the Heart Protocol.
I have written about my profound experiences with both these medicines in previous newsletters.
Furthermore, we will dive into meditation guided by a master, connect with our bodies through yoga and energetic massages and be nourished with incredible food all while being surrounded by the magic of this very special land.
Fouad, Jeff, John and Sam are all flying in from different corners of the US especially to guide you through this life-changing experience.
A team of nine of us will look after you and I will personally support you in your process of integration in the weeks and months after.
This will be my gift to the selected participants.
You will never look at life the same way.
Who is this for?
We are inviting eight individuals to go through the most transformative experience of their lives allowing them to discover and unleash their own greatness.
And at the same time, to experience the magic of the estate, meet the neoslife team and learn about the vision to explore their financial support for the creation of a place for the world to transform.
For neoslife’s vision to flourish, we need investors to make it happen.
If this is you or you know someone who should be one of the eight, please respond to this message and I will share more about the retreat.
Following closing, I will move onto the land to oversee the development and operations with all my resources, mind and heart.
I already have invested more than €300,000 as well five months of full-time work.
Developing neoslife is and will continue to be my sole and exclusive focus.
I am all-in. To learn more about the project, visit neoslife.
I can’t wait for us to spend these days together and unleash true greatness.
Welcome to a new life.
With much loveVincent

Our fiat money is, just like the systems we are part of (countries, governments, companies etc.) a collectively agreed upon imagination. Conversely to what we are told, since the $ has been decoupled from gold in 1971, fiat money is no longer backed by anything but our joint belief.
With the incessant money printing going on and the ever increasing government debt ($34,000,000,000,000 for the US alone, i.e. $100,000 for every US citizen), more and more people are questioning how much longer this house of cards can stand.
"I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop." — Friedrich August von Hayek (1984)
Welcome to Bitcoin
The abuse of our money has been the very reason for the creation of Bitcoin. It was launched at the end of the financial crises with the following headline written into its genesis block: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
Bitcoin is this “sly roundabout way that they can’t stop.”
Why has Bitcoin gone from being worth cents to $60,000 and a market cap of $1.2 trillion in less than 15 years?
More and more people understand the value of Bitcoin in a world where central banks and governments are out of control.
What is money?
Money serves three purposes: 1) store of value, 2) medium of exchange and 3) unit of account.
A critical aspect of the quality of money is that it preserves its value. The issue with all fiat currencies is that central banks can create more of it at will. And especially in recent years they have done so increasingly and recklessly. Plainly spoken it’s legalised theft and an example that legal and ethical are two very different things.
Inflation in consumption items and asset values like stocks and real estate is a direct function of the creation of money. Yes, there are other factors but this is the main factor few economists and central bankers talk about because if they were we would realise that the rigged game they are playing with us.
Central banking is legal theft
Whenever a central bank creates more money it directly devalues all the existing money. Your $/€/£ are immediately worth less. And they call it inflation.
Imagine there were only $1 million in the world. Suddenly the central bank decides that its government needs more money and they create - with the push of a button - another $1 million. The amount of monetary units has doubled but nothing else has changed. Everything will increase in price because double the amount of units are now chasing the same amount of assets and goods.
This is how the system has been stealing from all of us since the money has been delinked from gold - a scarce asset. Why scarce? Because it costs a lot of energy to mine gold and the new supply is therefore limited.
Bitcoin — the best money
Bitcoin is the new, much improved gold because not only is it scarce and hard to create but it has absolute scarcity.
No government nor anyone else can ever create more Bitcoin. There will only ever be 21 million. It’s therefore the hardest/best money there is.
As more and more people understand this very core principle about the quality of money they buy Bitcoin and this pushes up the price - because of its limited supply.
This process has been accelerated with the recent launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs (exchange-traded funds) that make buying Bitcoin much easier for the traditional financial rails and institutions and everyone else. It has been the most successful ETF launch ever.
Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme
Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme because existing investors are not paid by new investors. The price keeps going up because of its limited supply and the fact that the majority of Bitcoins are not available for sale.
70% of Bitcoins have not moved/been sold in the las

Note: At the end of the article you find a new video of the estate neoslife is buying.
Imagine putting on an Apple VisionPro headset and entering a virtual world. Now imagine never taking this headset off and believing that the virtual reality you are experiencing is Reality.
This is what life is. We put on the “headset” of being a person at birth and we take it off again at death. Yet we believe that we are the headset, our body and mind, when they are merely our interface to experience life.
What we really are is the awareness behind this headset. The awareness that is experiencing life through the mind-body headset.
This awareness is ever present and eternal and doesn’t know birth nor death. Birth is simply the moment we put on the headset for the human journey.
What’s the purpose?
You chose to put on the headset to evolve. The purpose is specific to you. It’s your tailor-made experience.
And there’s a higher purpose: To understand who you truly are.
We are awareness = consciousness = love = source = God = creator = everything = oneness.
(Pick whichever label you resonate with. They all mean the same. God has nothing to do with religion. It’s simply the spiritual word for consciousness.)
But how can I understand what I am if I am everything?
Rich is meaningless without poor. So is beauty without ugliness or light without darkness and love without fear. We need polarity to understand.
Therefore, to understand who I am I have to experience what I am not.
This is what the earthly experience is about: I experience myself as a separate self so that I can experience what I am not and therefore understand what I am (which in it’s ultimate step means everything / awareness / …).
How does it work?
Once I understand what I am not (separate, ego, personality, self), I can take the headset off and experience what I truly am. This is called “waking up”.
The ultimate purpose of life is to wake up from the illusion we have created. This is the purpose of this illusion: To wake up from it.
The practical consequence of this is that once I wake up (not to be confused with “being woke”) embracing the much larger reality I am, I start using my life for a higher purpose, in service to others, rather than what my security and pleasure-seeking ego self wants or craves.
Why? Because realising that I am not an individual self I start treating everyone “else” as if it was me. Now imagine if we were all to do that what a beautiful world we’d live in. This is the promise of waking up. It is the ultimate utopia. And it’s a real thing.
It’s a head twister and might sound crazy but who said life is straight forward.
Why should you care?
If I don’t realise who/what I truly am then it’s impossible to make the most of this life experience.
While that’s per se not a problem, why would I want to choose a less joyful experience and missing out on its purpose? That’s like buying a movie ticket and then covering my eyes and ears. It’s self defeating.
The consensus belief that our life is the ultimate reality is the single source of all the suffering and dissatisfaction we are trying to escape from throughout our entire lives. It keeps us trapped in the perception that we are separate from everything else.
And it keeps us grasping for more. Ironically, our very seeking of pleasure and trying to avoid pain is the very thing that keeps us locked-up in the prison of never finding the satisfaction we are yearning for.
The never-ending rat race for a better tomorrow that we can’t win — and then we die.
How do I wake up?
First, I need to fully grasp that I am (in) an illusion.
There are various ways to experience your true (soul) self: Death, a near-death experience, certain psychedelics and deep extended meditation or self inquiry, to name a few. It’s not a quick process. It’s developmental just as growing up is.
Second, I need to live it.
Understanding the illusion not just intellectually/b
