On today's episode, we welcome Ishtar Howell, a soul who has journeyed through the veil of life and death and returned with stories as profound as the silence between breaths. Ishtar Howell shares a tale that begins not with fanfare but with the humdrum of everyday life—a broken arm from a baseball game, an eerie premonition spoken out loud, and the mundane yet sacred rituals of living. Yet, beneath these ordinary events, a cosmic script was unfolding, preparing him for the extraordinary moment when the ordinary world would slip away, and he would find himself suspended between the realms of the living and the divine.The story unfolds with a sense of calm amidst chaos, a strange stillness that descended upon him as the car crash unfolded. It is in these moments that Ishtar Howell takes us through the spiral of time, where every second seemed to stretch into eternity, where a life review played out like a film reel. He speaks of a deep consciousness, an omnipresent light suffusing every memory, every regret, every moment of joy and pain. "I had this complete realization that everything was actually made up of love the whole time," he recounts, a realization that transcends understanding and becomes pure experience.As the crash occurred, his body may have been trapped in the wreckage, but his spirit floated freely, observing the scene with a detachment that was both eerie and comforting. This duality of consciousness—being both in the body and beyond it—offered him a unique perspective on life, death, and the spaces in between. Ishtar Howell describes the light not just as an illumination but as a manifestation of love, a cosmic substance that bound every part of his existence together in a harmonious whole.The moment of his mother’s passing, experienced from this dual perspective, becomes a defining point in his journey. Her final breaths, her last act of love, and the peaceful transition that followed were not just events but spiritual teachings. These moments, he explains, offered him the strength to face future challenges, to find solace in the unity of all things, even in the face of loss. The boundary between him and his mother dissolved in those final moments, revealing a deeper connection that went beyond the physical world.But what resonates most deeply is how Ishtar Howell found peace not in the answers but in the questions themselves. His experience taught him that living is not about clinging to the past or projecting into the future, but about embracing the present moment with all its imperfections and beauty. "Living in that timeless space," he says, "allows you to become who you truly are, to sing the song that’s uniquely yours." It is a lesson in authenticity, in aligning with the cosmic rhythm that guides us all.
