As a new member, I’ve noticed that Jesus ( or Yeshua if you prefer Hebrew/Aramaic) , is referenced in this community from time to time, e.g. on the New Earth University site and in today’s campfire call. Sometimes perhaps in contexts I wouldn’t usually expect. As a new member here, I’m genuinely curious and asking in a spirit of openness: Who is Jesus (or Yeshua) to you?

Finding this book hard to read, is it worth persisting?

Hello New Earth community! Let me start by saying; I feel like an odd bird here, never even having made an Instagram post in my life. So my breakthrough story simply has to go here, and who knows—maybe this is what leads me to making my first ever post eventually. I was a big corporation executive until 10 years ago. When I left, I did what most former executives do—I became an advisor and management consultant to other corporations. In 2021, I discovered a new business opportunity in helping the growing creator economy founders build offshore company structures to pay as little tax as legally possible. My language was MONEY, and all that mattered was making as much of it as possible by helping others making more. Two years ago, something switched. Me, at the time a fierce atheist and the ultimate materialistic, self-sufficient logician, had the most unexpected experience: a direct personal encounter with God. It was the start of a journey towards a total awakening to the transcendent, a new understanding of what it means to be human, and with a new, higher purpose. A year ago, nearly to the date today, I closed my business. I retreated into silence, asceticism, prayer, and contemplation. It totally turned me off from the conventional business environment. It even literally turned me off money! For a while, I believed that the only viable path forward for me would be a commitment to the monastic life. The fact that I have a wife and four children convinced me this is not the path God has intended for the remainder of my earthly dwelling 😂 So, I am now returning to the fallen world with a new mission—to help a new generation of conscious entrepreneurs build companies that reflect their soul and carries their mission. I believe the world has enough self-proclaimed gurus, so I am resisting the temptation to share what I have discovered, experienced, and gained from my spiritual journey and my practices of ancient mysticism (just google "Hesychasm" 😉). Instead, I want to direct my more than 20 years of experience from building and optimizing business on the highest level towards supporting a new generation of conscious creators and mission-driven entrepreneurs.
