Remember Your Soul's Purpose Through The Light of Christ - Interview with Shane Murphy and Myles Treanor

Your mind can argue forever, but your soul often knows in an instant. Todd sits down with Shane Murphy and Myles Treanor to explore the Soul Alignment Method, a practical approach to remembering your soul's purpose by learning to listen for a the sense of lightness and/or clarity within life force. We talk about what happens when modern noise drowns out intuition, why “alignment” can make decisions simpler, and how spiritual growth becomes real when we act on the promptings we receive. 

Myles also shares how intense life moments and patterns found in near-death experience research point to a universal theme people struggle to describe with words: the experience of an overwhelming light and a sense of coming home. From there, we dig into discernment in a world full of persuasion, charisma, and information overload. Words can be used to heal or harm, so we focus on where they come from and how the heart helps us tell the difference between truth and false light. 

You’ll also get a guided alignment meditation you can return to, built around breath, awareness, and heart-centered affirmations like “Oh Sacred Heart, I am listening.” After the practice, we share simple questions to ask when you feel aligned: what makes you feel alive, what inspires you, and what truly matters.

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:05

Hello, and once again, for the first time in quite a while, I am doing an interview. Um, the last ever since I started back doing Todd Talks uh Spirit by Design, I have been doing these solo sessions. But when my good friend friend Shane reached out to me, who we did a lot of sessions together during uh Todd talks Design Your Best Life, um reached out to me to talk uh about and and told me about his friend Miles. And Miles and he have been working together on a project of remembering your sole purpose. So Miles uh trainer, is that how you say your name?

SPEAKER_04 0:50

Yeah, that's that's it.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Um he lives in Thailand, and Shane Murphy is obviously my friend from Ireland. And today I'm gonna let them kind of take over and talk a little bit about what pro what they've been doing to remember your sole purpose, and I'm gonna jump in with questions and we'll get the whole discussion going. So, Shane and Miles, if you want to introduce yourself and then uh we'll go from there.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

Hey, I I'll start for a change. Uh so I my name is Shane Murphy. Um, I'm a psychotherapist, um, and I'm a present tense therapist, and I'm a community community leader, I would say. I've set up my own community marketing hall and mental health support group, and so I've done lots of different things and stuff like that. But um, yeah, so that's that's a bit about me, and obviously now I am stepping into the world of uh the amazing world of uh being uh soul mentor, soul alignment mentor, which we'll get into a little bit more in the podcast. So let Miles introduce himself now.

SPEAKER_04 1:54

Yes, thank you for having me. My name is Miles, and I'm from Ireland, just like Shane, and I have um just been introduced to Todd now, so I'm very happy to meet you, Todd. Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

No problem.

SPEAKER_04 2:09

Thank you. Yeah, so I met Shane in 2024, and I was at a mind body conference in Cork City, the big city in Ireland. Capital and Capital, the real capital.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

It's my favorite city in Ireland, actually.

What Soul Purpose Means

SPEAKER_04 2:28

Yeah, so I was down in Cork and I went to a mind body conference and I did a talk on remembering your soul purpose. And I met Shane there, and we had uh few minutes of a conversation, and then myself and Shane have been working together ever since. So we have been working on a method called the soul alignment method, and I am the founder of this method, and this is a method that helps people remember their soul purpose, and it gives them an experience of their soul and gives them access to the part of their soul that already knows why they're here and already knows what it wants to experience in this life. So this is a little context introduction to um what we're here to talk about.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

Wow, that sounds awesome. To uh to kick it off, then what uh you started this program, this uh soul alignment program, and so you say that our body or our part of our my our soul can remember its purpose, and what is the the basis? How how do you come to figure that out?

SPEAKER_04 3:58

Well, it's like similar to the idea that deep down inside you, deep down inside all of us, there's something that drives us, there's something that beats our heart, there's something that gives us passion. Deep down inside us, there's something that we're driven by and that lights us up. And deep, deep down when we listen, there's a deep sense of meaning to our existence and why we're here. And some people get access to that and start to remember, start to remember what is it that gives me passion, what is it that I'm drawn to, what is it that inspires me and gives me energy for hours. Some people get access to that, and then some people struggle to remember. Maybe maybe they remember in glimpses, but then they spend a lot of time forgetting, and so this method helps people get access to that part of themselves and start to remember, and so the context of this work is basically my life story, and this is kind of how I discovered it, so yeah.

Listening Under Modern Noise

SPEAKER_01 5:15

That's awesome. Um, so you you say that deep down when we listen, um, Shane, maybe you can uh do a little deep dive into how do you go about listening? Because I know a lot with there's so much noise and chaos and fragmented actions and ideas in society right now. How how do you quiet yourself down enough to be able to go deep down and listen?

SPEAKER_00 5:48

Yeah, I mean, you know, meditation is absolutely amazing, like you know, and minds has taught me an awful lot around meditation and you know, just going into the light. And what I notice is that when you go into the meditation and you start becoming more aware of that deeper part of yourself, you start becoming more aware of the stuff that kind of lights you up, the stuff that gives you joy. And what happens when you step into that light, step into that energy, is that all the stuff that's heavy in the world, all the social media, all the stories, all the news, all the heaviness of other people around you, and all that, it just falls away, it feels heavy, so it just it just literally falls away. And it's the deeper you go into yourself and the more you connect in with the true version of yourself, the the soul of yourself, it just feels effortless, it feels light, and it just gives me such joy, it lights me up all the time when I'm just living this with my soul purpose aligned with my soul. You know, it's that remembering aspect of it that's the big part for me because you know, it's not like I'm reinventing the wheel, I'm just remembering my purpose, I'm remembering what my soul purpose is, and I you know, decisions are now easy. There's no effort, there's no hardness to any decision that I make. When I make a decision, it's like I've stepped into alignment, and as soon as I make the decisions in alignment, it's it's easy, you know? And anything that's not in alignment is not the answer. So once you're in alignment, it it's just easy, you know?

SPEAKER_01 7:21

You definitely run into barriers at that point. Uh Miles, do you do you talk about needing to meditate daily for uh to get into alignment? Or is it a hourly, daily, weekly? How how do you get into this alignment that Shane's talking about?

SPEAKER_04 7:43

Well, many ways to distate. So sometimes, often actually, it's through a really hard moment in life, like maybe you lost a family member, maybe you've had a health condition, maybe you've had a really tough time. And there's moments like that can bring you to your knees. And there's many people maybe listening to this that might have experienced something beyond what they thought was possible, and they had a moment where they just broke down and experienced something bigger than just their thoughts, something bigger than just this body, and those out-of-body experiences and those experiences of a presence bigger than you, those are very profound moments, and those are what I would consider those are glimpses into God, glimpses into who we really are, deep down and a deeper level. It's there's there's people across this earth who've experienced the deeper part of themselves, and many research papers have talked about this where people have near-death experiences. And if you look at NED's research, and you you you research this on online, you look at all the research papers, you take all of those research papers and chronologically order the most common experiences. Number one is that almost everyone says they see an overbearing bright light all of a sudden. Then they see this like tunnel, it's like they're returning to like a tunnel of light, and they start to feel as if the the denseness of the body, the the emotions of the body is kind of going away, and it's like they're starting to feel or remember bliss, starting to feel peaceful again, and it's like the next common experience is they start to say that they see like light beings or angelic beings, and then from there they start to see ancestors, and it's like they're returning to that dimension, that part of part of reality that's always here. That when we leave this body, we return to that place, and it's like it's for those that experience it that really understand it. It's hard to say that if you haven't experienced it, it's hard to grasp what this is. But near-death experiences is very interesting research, and these are people all over the world with different religious backgrounds, but all talking about the same universal experience, which is this bright light, returning to the source, which is this light overbearing bright light that their brain can't really put words onto, but it's just this sense of coming home.

SPEAKER_01 10:33

So I know you're not saying that we need to have a near-death experience, though, in order to get into this alignment of our purpose. So for those of us that don't want to have a near-death experience just yet, um what do we need to do to in order to get to source, get to um this alignment with God so that we can feel what uh what you're talking about?

SPEAKER_04 11:03

So maybe we could give a little experience now.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 11:08

Yeah, that's the best way, maybe to get a little experience for like three minutes two, three minutes now, and we can have a have a go. Okay. Okay. Alright, is that okay, Todd?

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 11:24

Okay, so get in a position that's comfortable for you. We're gonna take a moment to just straighten the posture. We're going to close the eyes, and we're gonna begin by focusing on the breath. We're gonna have an inhale and an exhale. I'm focusing just on the sound of the breath. Inhale deeper, exhale deeper. Listening to the sound of the breath. Observing now the sensations in the body. Observe the different sensations. And this time, put your hand on the area of your body that you feel the most right now. So scan the body and put your hand on the area of your body that you feel the most. Put your hand on that area and breathe into that area. And this time you're gonna affirm your name, and I am listening. God, I am listening to Miles. I am listening. Just notice how your body feels as you say that statement. And this time we're gonna move your hand to the center of your chest. And you're gonna affirm. Oh Sacred Heart. I am listening.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Oh Sacred Heart, I am listening.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Oh Sacred Heart, I am listening.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

I am listening to what you feel.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

I am listening to what you feel.

SPEAKER_04 13:53

I am listening to what you feel. Please forgive me for the times that I did not listen.

SPEAKER_02 14:02

Please forgive me for the times I did not listen.

SPEAKER_04 14:07

I am listening now.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

I am listening now.

SPEAKER_04 14:29

Being present with this sacred heart. And affirm one more time. Oh Sacred Heart. I am listening.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

Oh Sacred Heart. I am listening.

SPEAKER_04 15:12

I'm taking a moment now to bring awareness to the bottom of the spine. Slowly bring awareness up the spine. Bring awareness to the top of the spine. Bring awareness through the head. And notice the space above your head. And go higher and higher up above your head. Imagine that there is a bright light up above you. Imagine as you go up above your head, higher and higher into this bright light. As you go higher and higher into the light, you're starting to return home. You might notice yourself becoming lighter and lighter. Feel the presence of this light. So just notice if there's any thoughts you have. Observe these thoughts. And notice the different ideas. You must be something more. And just notice that no matter what thought it is, you can observe it. And take a moment to bring awareness again up above the head. Up into this light. Going up again into the presence of this light. You are now entering alignment with the light of your soul. And this light is always here. You're now just remembering. You are the light that gives life to this world. And can you bring that light down into your body? Imagine the light going in a straight line down into your body. Into the center of your heart. And breathe the presence of this light into the center of your heart. Fill your heart with this light. Affirming I am the light of this world.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

I am the light of this world.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

I am the light of this world.

SPEAKER_04 21:22

And showing this light coming from your heart to the world. Emitting love. And returning the hand to the center of the heart. And affirming again. Oh sacred heart. I am listening.

SPEAKER_02 21:54

Oh sacred heart. I am listening.

SPEAKER_04 22:08

And so, no matter who you imagine, no matter what person it is, whether it be your mother, your father, or any close relationship you have, take a moment just to feel them in your heart. And notice that you are connected to every heart in this world. And affirming one more time to these people, I am the light. I am the light.

SPEAKER_03 23:06

I am the light.

Living Your Purpose Through Discernment

SPEAKER_04 23:18

And so as we feel this presence of the light, we are now in alignment with the light. And so this is what I call the alignment state. And when you're in this state, you'll start to be able to ask questions. And the questions can be: in this moment, can you focus on something that makes you feel alive? And as you listen to your heart, your heart will start to show you. What is it that inspires me? What is it that lights me up? What am I driven by? What is it that I really want to experience in this life? In your heart, it already knows. And the question is, in this moment, can you listen to what is it that gives me a deep sense of meaning? What really matters? And if you can start to answer those questions, you're starting to get in touch with what your soul really wants you to know. Because when you feel alive, when you feel inspired, when you feel lit up, when you feel passion, when you feel a deep sense of meaning, you are tapping into a state that is very close to the soul. So what gives you life force? Whatever gives you life force that's a sign of what lights your soul up. So your soul is trying to communicate these things all the time. Through feedback, this is what lights you up, this is what gives you passion, this is what makes you feel alive, this is what gives you a deep sense of meaning. The soul is trying to show us what gives us life force. And each individual is different. And so the question always is: can I listen deep enough to recognize what my soul is trying to communicate through me? And so can I let go and let God and so this is a little glimpse into the method, but this method is different stages of this method brings you deeper into those questions and allows you to access the answers. And so being able to answer those questions is very important. Because eventually those answers will give you clarity on what you're here to serve the world in career, what you want to experience in your relationships, what you want to experience in your lifestyle. Your soul already knows.

SPEAKER_01 28:36

A while back I did a a podcast about um meditation and prayer, how they go hand in hand. And throughout that meditation that that you were doing with us, and I I absolutely loved it. It took me into the light, into good places. And it it reminded me of what Christ said when he said, Let your light so shine before men so that they can see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. And that's exactly what that was pulling out it in me is that when we're saying I am the light, we are. We are children of our Heavenly Father, all of us. We're all brothers and sisters, and we all have that light from him in us. And then when we align with it, I could start to see, you know, some of the things he wants me to be working on and doing. Um, and so I really appreciate that. That was that was beautiful, that was awesome.

SPEAKER_04 29:45

Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 29:49

You see why I wanted you to meet Miles, Todd.

SPEAKER_01 29:51

Oh, great, really appreciate it.

SPEAKER_00 29:56

And I I've been working with Miles a year and a half now, like, and I've been doing this, you know, we we meet every week, like, and you know, we go deeper and deeper, you know, it's just absolutely amazing, like you know, you know.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

That's that's amazing. That is awesome. If someone did want to work with you, Miles, how would how would they get a hold of you?

Truth Beyond Words And False Light

SPEAKER_04 30:18

So on the the website is um the soulalignmentmethod.com, and on the website you will get information about courses coming up and also a one-on-one service. So you will get email contact, and there is a group course starting on May 17th, and myself and Shane will be part of that, and another facilitator also called Kean, and we will be three of us hosting a six-week journey on called Remember Your Soul Purpose.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

Yeah, that is awesome. I'm just taking down notes because this is this is great.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

And you know, I suppose I just want to get across to people like you know, a lot of people would probably look at me and you know, I wear like wearing nice shirts and stuff like that, and you know, might not be into meditation or or connecting with the light and all that, and you know, might be you know skeptical of of what we're listening to and what we're sharing and stuff like that, and it's just you know, it's it's just very hard to put into words what it's like to live your life like this. Um, and it really, you know, one of the interesting things about Miles is he talks a lot about he he was a neuroscientist or studied neuroscience and stuff like that, you know, in his younger part of his life, and he talks a lot about the the light getting into the cells of your body, into that core of you. And you know, you were asking that question about you know, how do you do this? Or that you know what what do you have to do? Do you have to do a meta, you know, do you have to no, it's it's living your soul purpose, it's remembering your soul purpose, it's also living it. So I I just step into the light and I just say, you know, to myself, does this feel light or heavy? And if it feels light, I do it. And if it feels heavy, I don't do it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 32:24

It's it's it it you know? I absolutely know what you mean because so over the last several months, if you I don't know if you've been listening to the podcasts or whatever, but over the last several months, I've felt that my one of my purposes, especially for 2026, is to teach people or help them learn remember how to receive that personal revelation, as you say, stepping into the light, and does it feel light or heavy, right? Being able to receive and understand those promptings that the Lord sends us in order to, but not just to not just to see them and recognize them, but to act on them. Because when we don't act on those promptings of what is good, what is what feels light, and then we get less of it and we're we become less attuned to the light, less attuned to the revelation that he sends us and wants to send us on a daily basis. Because our Heavenly Father wants us to live in our purpose, he wants us to fulfill the purpose that he sent us here for. And so, because of that, he's willing to guide us if we're willing to listen. And then he actually uses us as those angels of light to help other people in need. And and when we step into that purpose of, okay, I'm here, I'm listening, I'm ready to act on what you give me, he gives us more. And so I felt like for 2026 especially, my purpose is to get people to be able to recognize that those promptings and to act on it. Because there's so much lies and deceit and darkness in the world, and it's getting harder to tell what is truth, especially with AI and everything else. That you the only true place to know that truth is in the light.

SPEAKER_04 34:42

Amen. Yes, I'm uh people ask me, like, oh, what is truth fundamentally? And I say, Well, truth is beyond words, truth is a place before words, place it's a place of it's a place to be experienced, and when you experience who you really are, all you will see is light. All you will see is light, and so the light is who I am. And so when I'm in the light, I'm in now in alignment with the source of truth, and when I'm in alignment with the source of truth, I start to think from the light, I start to act from the light, and I start to act in alignment with truth itself. And so people will talk about this and that, but sense into are you are you listening? Where is it coming from, these words? Because they're just words. You can take a quote of the Bible and kill a whole country's population. You can take a quote from the Bible and love and heal everyone around you. But you can take though the phrase, but the question is where are you where are you bringing that phrase from? What frequency are you bringing it from? Because often they'll say the devil is the one that plays that that mimics the light, false light, will mimic it to test you. Can you discern what is real and what is not?

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Discernment is so true. The the devil likes to play at being an angel and deceive many.

Staying In The Light Daily

SPEAKER_04 36:30

Yes, and discernment is, and that's why I often say like people will you know, an intellectual a person with a lot of intellect and a lot of charisma, they can they can use that for a lot of things, but if the heart is the one is how you really know, how you discern someone. So if you feel the heart of someone, because open that heart, and is it light? Because if you don't feel your intuition doesn't feel good with someone, if your intuition is not feeling light, then really pay attention because it wants one thing to know something in your head, but it's another thing to feel, and I feel like that's why sacred that's why it's oh sacred hearts. I am listening. It's such a humiliate it's because it's like to feel things and to feel our emotions, it's it takes humility, it takes us to bow down and feel, and and and and I really feel like we're being tested here to feel and have empathy and and take I take you as me, and that that requires someone being in the heart, and I feel like like, for example, Christianity, there's like an align a cr someone who's actually aligned with the light of Christ, and there's someone who's actually not, but they're talking about it. And for me, it's like the people who are actually living it and living in alignment with it, it's so beautiful. But then the people who are not living in alignment with it and are actually just using it to create more greed and more things, and they start to so with within our own within your own church, there's people who are actually living it and people who are not. And that's that's the interesting thing about the journey.

SPEAKER_01 38:15

The the thing that you just spoke about is interesting because when people are not living it, but are trying to get wealthy off of it and are are just emphasizing their own greed and everything, you actually start seeing a change in their countenance, the the darkness in their countenance, because they're not actually living in the light, even though they're espousing it, they're not living in it. But when you're in alignment, your countenance brightens, and people can see that.

SPEAKER_04 38:49

Yes, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 38:51

Yeah, I agree too. We're in line glad, so you know we're we're we're we're we're not gonna have any resistance here, you know.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

No, no, we're we're we're preaching to a choir among the three of us, but but it is I I am hoping that those that that listen to this or watch it, because I will put this one up on YouTube, um, that I hope that they can get a sense that they, you, whoever's listening, can become in alignment. You can align with the light, you can find your purpose because that's what all of us want. All three of us that are doing this. We want you to find your purpose and live the life that was meant for you, that so that you can remember your purpose. Why are you here on this earth? Why are you here on this earth? Your body knows, your soul knows. It knew before you were born what your purpose is. You just have to remember that because there's a veil put over our mind when we're born, and we have to learn to grow in alignment with God, with with Christ, to be able with the light, to be able to find that purpose that you were meant to have. Because every one of us has a purpose here, and I'm glad that the three of us are in alignment to help you, because that's all we want. That's what we want. We want to help you.

SPEAKER_04 40:30

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 40:32

Yeah. Miles is a great way. We were talking there recently, and he said, our purpose is to make ourselves in uh obsolete. So, what we're teaching people and getting people to understand, we want everybody in the world to feel it, live it, and act in it. And you know, everybody to pass on this message and learn and understand what your soul purpose is and remember your soul purpose and live in alignment with your purpose for the rest of your life. So there is no there is no wars, there is no there is no negativity, there is no darkness when you live in alignment.

SPEAKER_04 41:10

Yeah, it's it's like you protect yourself by being in the light. It's like um have no fear when in the light. It's like fear is just forgetting who you are. Once you once you go to I go to the light, I return to the light again and again, keep my eyes on God at all times. If I keep my eyes on God at all times, then what is there to fear? For there's nothing in this human world that would make me forget who I am. It's like that's why focus on the light, return to the light, pray from the light. It's like commune with the light, stay in alignment with the light at all times. It's like Christ. Christ walked this earth and embodied the light. I am the light that gives life to this world. I am in I stay in alignment with the Father at all times, no matter what, no matter what's happening around me, I am the light. And so there's nothing in this human world that made me forget. You know, you try to give me money, you try to give me this, you try to give me that, try to hurt me, try to give me pain. I say I choose the light. Because pain can come and go, ideas can come and go, but the light's always here, and that's true power. It's like true power is realizing that no matter the circumstance, I am the light. No matter what the world tries to do to you, I am the light. And so when I am the light, there is no fear. It's like because this body goes, I am the light, and that's that's that's the ultimate for me. The the the thing that's gonna break a lot of the the darkness in the world is people actually getting access again to light, and when they experience it, they'll be like, Wow, I don't want to leave this place. And that's I say, Yeah, well, what do you want? Would you would you like to stay here? Would you like to stay in the light? And they're like, Yeah, I'll do whatever it takes to stay here. And I'm like, Okay, let's stay in the light, let's let's remain in this place at all times. And so I often say, No matter what the problem is, no matter the struggle, the answer is always the same. And for me, the answer is align. Alignment is the answer that solves all equations, it's just simple as that. Stay in alignment. And it's like it's just a simple teaching. Maybe it's not easy to practice it often, but it's it's simple. And for me, Christ, the the essence of Christ's teachings is very simple. And for me, it's like some people are talking about it, and some people are living it.

Course Details And Closing

SPEAKER_01 43:52

Well, people try to overcomplicate what Christ taught. People try to overcomplicate the gospel. When really it is simple. It is, as you said, once we are in alignment, the things of the world fall away. And we have to live in the world, but not be of the world, right? So when we're in alignment, we are we can participate in the world and not be of the world. And not because the world lets the darkness in. But when we're in alignment, we let the light in and we shine our light to grow the light further. Amen. So just just to uh to reiterate, those of you that want to to join uh the six-week course or get one-on-one training or receive emails, uh thesoulalignmentmethod.com.
