In Episode 2 of season 2 we dive into a story about a near death experience, non-dual awakening and psychic phenomenon. _________________________________________________ Ishtar is a meditation teacher, monk, gardener, intuitive, and writer. His childhood was filled with high strangeness and mystical experiences, anchored in the sense of a unity with all things.This unity faded at around age 7. Then, at age 13, in a car accident in which he lost his mother, he went through a near death experience, which propelled him on a spiritual path that came to include many hours of meditation per day while a high school student. At 18, he learned a meditation practice called the Ishayas’ Ascension, and it was immediately clear that he had found his spiritual home. Shortly thereafter he entered an ashram centered on the practice, spending long periods of time in meditative retreat, putting in long hours of service work, and teaching meditation classes all over the world. The Wholeness of early childhood and the near death experience was rediscovered through meditation. In 2008, he left his meditation organization, took an extended break from meditation teaching and attended University. The years lived outside the semi-cloistered environment of the ashram were challenging but led to a more deeply anchored Presence. Subtle barriers fell, opening again to the experience of the world as the Self and the Self as all things. He serves as a guide on the path of awakening, helping people recognize Awareness and relax into the Wholeness that is already here. He also works as an evolutionary astrologer, connecting people to their guiding myths and dharmic purpose.
