## Resource

At 13 years old, Ishtar Howell survived a devastating car accident that took his mother’s life and shattered his fear of death. His NDE (Near Death Experience) is unusual and the story also includes a SDE (shared death experience) when his mother dies. Moments before impact, time seemed to slow as he slipped out of his body (OBE) into a profound life review, encountered a loving, omniscient presence, and discovered that everything —even pain and trauma—was held within a vast field of love. In this conversation with host, Eric Bennett, Ishtar shares how this near death experience (NDE) transformed his grief, dissolved his fear of death, ignited mystical awareness, and eventually led him to a life as a monk and meditation teacher. He offers a grounded, hopeful message: you don’t have to nearly die to touch the “deathless” part of yourself.
