Shyamel Patel & Anthony Schneider - Awakening the Eternal Self
289 - In this expansive and soul-stirring episode, Evan is joined by two close friends and fellow seekers—Shyamel Patel and Anthony Schneider—for a profound exploration of the infinite nature of the soul and the journey of spiritual remembrance.
Together, they dive deep into the metaphysical terrain of reincarnation, past lives, and the eternal continuity of consciousness, reflecting on how our soul's journey transcends the boundaries of this current lifetime. Through shared stories and intuitive insights, the trio examines how ancient spiritual traditions and mythologies offer symbolic blueprints for awakening, liberation, and the reclaiming of our divine essence.
The conversation moves fluidly between cultural belief systems and personal inner truth, as they unpack the ways in which society often conditions us to identify with a false, ego-driven self. With a spirit of curiosity and reverence, they ask: What is the true self beyond roles, names, and history? And how can we begin to remember it?
Themes of breaking free from limiting beliefs, confronting inherited dogmas, and returning to a place of spiritual sovereignty are woven throughout. The episode encourages listeners to question deeply held assumptions, embrace the unknown, and remember who they truly are beneath the conditioning.
Whether you're at the beginning of your spiritual path or well into the journey, this episode offers both mystical insight and grounded wisdom for living in alignment with your soul’s calling.
Topics covered include:
-The infinite, cyclical nature of the soul and the possibility of past lives
-Interpreting mythology and spiritual traditions as symbolic guides for awakening
-Ego vs. true self: how to discern and return to the essence of who you are
-The role of suffering, conditioning, and limitation in the spiritual journey
-Tools and practices to help decondition from cultural programming and live authentically
This heartfelt and illuminating exchange is a reminder that we are not here to become something—we are here to remember what we’ve always been.
