The Servant of Awareness: Howard Falco's Journey to Spiritual Teaching & His Latest Book, Invincible

A star-filled sky in Northern Minnesota forever changed fourteen-year-old Howard Falco's perception of reality. That breathtaking moment—where time stood still and thousands of questions about existence flooded his mind—planted the seeds for a spiritual journey that would eventually transform him from a finance professional into one of today's most insightful spiritual teachers.

Howard shares the fascinating story of his awakening at age 35 when he found himself profoundly unsettled despite achieving all the markers of the American dream—education, marriage, children, and homeownership. His desperate plea to understand life's deeper workings led to a remarkable expansion of consciousness that changed everything. 

What makes our conversation particularly valuable is Howard's unflinching honesty about spiritual awakening being "not for the weak of heart." He addresses the challenging reality that true transformation requires facing everything within yourself, including the ego's desperate attempts to maintain the status quo through fear. 

Howard discusses his latest book, "Invincible: The Mindset of Infinite Potential and the Secret to Inevitable Success," which distills his two decades of working with thousands of clients into an eight-step process for expanding consciousness and unlocking potential.

Speaker 1: 0:57

Well, hello, hello, hello and welcome to Glow Up with Shaman Isis. I am psyched for today's show. I have a good friend with me today. Author, spiritual teacher and mindset coach, would you?

Speaker 2: 1:10

I would say that's it, you got it.

Speaker 1: 1:12

Howard, the amazing Howard Falco. Welcome Howard, I'm so glad to have you on the show.

Speaker 2: 1:16

Oh, thank you. Thank you for having me, cynthia. It's good to see you again oh thank you.

Speaker 1: 1:20

Thank you for having me, cynthia, it's good to see you again. Yeah, yeah I, I want to get to all the juicy stuff about your journey, and then I know you have a new book out, so of course we have to talk about the book. But, um, if you could, you know, just share a little bit about your practice to start off, and then we'll get into your uh, into your uh journey.

Speaker 2: 1:34

Yeah, uh. So I'm a spiritual teacher, author, mindset coach. I've written three books on the nature of self-awareness and the mind and the power of the mind. I've worked with hundreds, thousands actually of people over the last 20 years, helping them to understand the power that they have to direct the narrative of their life and how life begins to meet them with that narrative and flow with that narrative. And so this has worked for everyday individuals going through anxiety, depression, everything you can imagine, everything you can't imagine. And then I've also worked with athletes at the college and professional level in all the sports, helping them to get their mind in a place where more of their talent can flow freely, unrestricted, and so they can sort of get out of their own way, reduce the amount of limiting beliefs they have so that they can achieve the performance they're looking for, more of their potential and peak performance.

Speaker 1: 2:31

That sounds exciting. I have to hear about your. We've talked about some other. We've done an episode about a year and a half ago, which is one of my most popular episodes, mind you, oh it's awesome.

Speaker 2: 2:42

That's great.

Speaker 1: 2:58

And we didn't get a chance to really get tooed up who've moved on and be able to share with people so that they can appreciate the ability that they have themselves for changing their own lives. So can you tell our audience a little bit about kind of your journey to spiritual guru?

Speaker 2: 3:15

Sure, I'll talk about the journey to what opened the door to all this wisdom and clarity that allows me to work in a way that's really effective for my own life and for the life of others. The beginning of the story is I was always very curious about the nature of life and existence, or in general. In class in grammar school, I was the one always raising my hand, challenging the teacher, wanting to understand the whys, not just be told, don't tell me. Help me understand why, so that I can take that wisdom with me. I've told this story many times, but it was really truly sparked.

Speaker 2: 3:55

The first time I was on a camping trip into deep nature. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and I was taken by my aunt and uncle on a trip to Northern Minnesota, which was 10 miles. We were at this remote lake, like out of a movie really, with this rustic cabin on a lake. We were less than 10 miles from the Canadian border. We got there, it was a moonless night, so it was extremely dark and everybody went to sleep after the 10 hour car ride and I wanted to explore, and so, at 14, I went out the cabin door, walked to the end of this old creaky dock and just stared into this darkness and the first thing that just hit me, like a ton of bricks, was the sound of silence. I'd never experienced that oxymoron before and, um, it stunned me. It was an out of body experience. And the lake was as placid as could be. It wasn't moving, um, it was still. There, wasn't a breath of wind. And then I started to see what looked like light shining in one part of the lake and then another part. And then I started to see what looked like lights shining in one part of the lake and then another part. And then I realized these lights were shining over the entire lake and I didn't know what it was. And then I looked up. And when I looked up, in that moment everything changed, because I could not believe the amount of stars that were in the night sky. There were more stars in the sky, I believe, than there was space in between them, as I write in the introduction to all my books. And it was a breathtaking moment. And what I mean by breathtaking? We hear that term a lot and usually it's an inhale, but this was a breathtaking moment, an exhale where all the breath left my body and, for a moment of stillness. Everything sort of changed in that moment. When I looked up, I was just frozen in time and thousands of questions filled my mind on the nature of existence. And I just, laid down on the dock, put my hands behind my head, and thousands of questions filled my mind on the nature of existence. And I, just laid down on the dock, put my hands behind my head and, for like what seemed hours, just stared at the Milky Way, at the galaxies, the stars and the what I, you know I could see potential satellite moving across as look like a star moving, you know, I mean, it was mind blowing. So I left that moment on even a deeper quest to understand life and meaning. And then I'll fast forward the story.

Speaker 2: 6:27

In my mid 30s I thought I had everything I needed to be happy. I got my education, put myself through school, left home when I was 18 and went out west, got married, fell in love, had two kids, was starting to do okay, bought our first home. And yet I was as more unsettled than I've ever been and I thought this is crazy. You're supposed to be happy when you start to build all these things that are the checklist on the American dream. And I thought, okay, the last thing is money, millions of dollars. But one day it hit me that I was working with a lot of people that had endless amounts of money and they weren't happy. And when that hit me, cynthia, that's what shook me to the ground, where I said I don't know how I'm going to go on and live another day of life without understanding. And so I threw my arms up and hands up to the sky and I said life, universe, god, which I had no concept of or understanding, I'm ready to understand how life works. Show me this the answers. I want them now. I can't go another day. Then I let it go, went back into my life.

Speaker 2: 7:26

Two weeks later. I'm in a class for trading the markets. I had read a book on the psychology of trading markets I was in the finance business at the time and I was amazed that the guy was teaching this from this idea that you're creating the whole experience, or whether you make money or lose money, by what you choose, what your thoughts are, what your reactions are, what vehicle you choose, how much money you put in, when you get in, when you get out. And it just hit me, cynthia, that we're doing this for life every day, and so we're creating the mindset and the experience that we have. But what was so stunning about that was that I realized it wasn't just for finance.

Speaker 2: 7:59

Being for life, that means that the control was in me. It wasn't on anything external that I had to gain, and it was such a relief to know that this room that I had been in, that was windowless and doorless, now had a window or a door. I just had to figure out how to do it, but I knew it was there now and then the second thing that really blew my mind was that I had asked these questions two weeks ago to life, and here life was answering me by connecting with me on insight and information. In that moment, and I realized that this is how it works Every day of our life, life's talking to us and what? The more present and the more mindful we are, the more we hear it, the more we gain the information that life's trying to get to us, because it's trying to work with us to help us survive. Whatever we determine we need to do to create, life is trying to get the awareness to us, and so I was in this present state. And then, to wrap this up.

Speaker 2: 8:52

Six months later, I had an experience where information was just dropping into my mind Moment by moment. There was no time anymore between question and answer, and I got this great awakening and understanding that changed everything and that's why I wrote my first book. I left my job and wrote I Am, and that in I Am is everything that was sort of downloaded or revealed in this expansion of consciousness, which I felt so graced and humbled. I knew I was going to be a servant of this awareness the rest of my existence, and that's all I was going to do was just serve it. And that's what I have done since 2002, for 20 to 23 years. Now, almost 23 years, 22 and a half years of sharing and putting this wisdom out into the discourse, and I feel just blessed beyond belief. So that's the short story, cynthia.

Speaker 1: 9:44

I love that. I love that you had. How old were you when you had that existential conversation?

Speaker 2: 9:50

So I asked those 35, it was right around my 35th birthday, the one by the lake. Oh, it was 14.

Speaker 1: 9:56

Yeah, that seems to be 13,. 14 seems to be like 12 to 14, seems to be like a real, like anyone who's going to seems to have the first existential conversation. It seems like that's when they happen, because that's the same thing it happened for me at 13, like staring at the stars and being like, oh, my mind is being blown.

Speaker 2: 10:13

Yeah, it's hard not to. When you look at that and when you see it in such a remote area where every star is shining, it's your mind just wiggles on it. It's your mind just wiggles on it. It's just. How is that over our head every night and we don't understand more yet, and that's what drove me to understand more. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 10:30

I love that you said servant of this awareness, oh that's so good, it was juicy. I was like oh, I can taste that.

Speaker 2: 10:38

Yeah, it's so true I do.

Speaker 1: 10:40

I feel humbled, humbled servant is what I feel like Do you have any advice for people who find, because a lot of people are having spiritual awakenings. It's like a big thing you know where we've entered the age of Aquarius happening at the same time as the age of AI, which I do not think is an accident. I think that we need that age of Aquarius to be able to have enough consciousness, higher consciousness, on the planet to be able to manage yeah.

Speaker 1: 11:04

Yeah, Do you have any? Because there's so many people who are going through those kinds of existential conversations and they're coming to a new awareness of what's been going on in our world for a long time. I know three years ago when I talked about the financial situation in America and questioned the American dream and what was going on with all our money, People were like you sound like a conspiracy theorist, but now we're all seeing a lot of truths. What would your advice? Something a very long way of asking what your advice would be.

Speaker 2: 11:28

You mean in terms of when they have these awakenings. What my advice?

Speaker 1: 11:31

to them is yeah.

Speaker 2: 11:32

The litmus test on the awakening is whether or not you feel more of a sense of unity with life, mankind, with people, whether or not you see more of the perfection of what's happening, whether or not you understand how much life is connected to you and helping you to see more of your worth perfection, love, self-respect, self-honor in you whether or not you see more forgiveness in others through the understanding of your own self.

Speaker 2: 12:07

You know, there's a quote. My, actually my son said something when I saw him. He came in town last week and he said well, dad, he's like you know, I've learned to just always assume good intent with people and I thought wow, that's pretty profound, because we've lost our way in that right. We've gotten so scared of everything. We're always assuming negative intent. You know, and we're spreading it across millions of people You're not on the spiritual path.

Speaker 2: 12:32

Then You're off the spiritual path when that becomes the mindset, because it's taking you to a darker place. When what spiritual awakening does is it allows you to see infinite possibility, it allows you to see that the universe is working to shed awareness. And, yeah, we go through ups and downs through that process. But what I would tell anybody on this path is, if you're going down a path where it gets darker, you're on the wrong path and there's more to be learned and understood.

Speaker 2: 13:04

Now, that doesn't mean there aren't dark things in the world that happen, because there are, but to be able to see things from a broader perspective and to see that everybody this doesn't condone anything, but that everybody's doing the best they can and what they're trying to do, based on who they think they are versus what the truth is about them. It can help with your energy, your mindset and the way you carry yourself in the world. And even, most importantly, cynthia, what comes back to you in terms of your own experience. Because if it's shrouded in negativity, that aura, that energy is going to attract that, because life has to give you the experience of what you believe is true, not what you think is true, but what you believe is true.

Speaker 2: 13:47

That's why self-awareness is so important. So for me, in that experience, I had to drop my beliefs and my conditioning in order to have something else revealed, and I mean these were deep truths and beliefs about life.

Speaker 1: 14:04

And that's a process that is not. You don't just go. Oh, I need to drop these beliefs. I mean, for me it took practice at seeing the new beliefs and releasing the beliefs, the built-in system I had developed for understanding the world, which was really corrupted by cynicism yeah, or personal experiences trauma.

Speaker 2: 14:23

Yeah, it can deep-seat itself because you're trying to protect yourself, right? And so it's totally understandable that that would be the case For me. I was at a point where I was ready to let anything go. At that point, there were certain beliefs I had that gave me boundary in life, you know, like death exists. Therefore, I need to do everything I can for me before my time runs out. And when I realized that death doesn't exist, I mean I'm throwing a big one out right now, but it was like then I can. Instead of be about me, I could be more about we, because, you know, I'm here forever. So it's not a matter of if I'm going to exist, it's only a matter of how I'm going to choose to exist while I'm here or while I'm here in this particular go around.

Speaker 1: 15:06

Do you do you do you practice any of the sort of spiritual practices that are are like yoga or meditation, to focus your energy? What, what's sort of sort of your method for managing your energy?

Speaker 2: 15:20

Yeah, so for me, when I'm off or I feel off a little bit, I take quiet time. I like silence and I like to go into that meditative space that just sort of just a tiny little bit of recalibration, refocus, rebalance. When I get to that quiet place I remember the grand, infinite oneness of it all, and then everything else is a small detail that I don't want to sweat anymore, right, because I realized something greater and more empowering.

Speaker 2: 15:45

So that's something that I can do Once in a while. I'll do yoga. I'm not a direct or consistent practitioner of yoga, but I do do it once in a while. So those are a couple of the practices that I do. I'm trying to think if there's anything else I like to read. You know, for me, the one sport I've hung onto in my life, for my competitive side, just to stay grounded in something that I used to do I used to be a competitive in all sports in my life, but I play golf. So you know hitting golf balls for me at the end of the range when no one's there at six in the morning, it's like a very meditative process pure quiet. It's nature. So those are the types of things I do to ground myself.

Speaker 1: 16:26

Yeah, yeah. So it's so important. You know, I uh going through all the stages of the spiritual journey. It's not for the weak at heart. I think a lot of people have a misconception.

Speaker 2: 16:37

That's a great point.

Speaker 1: 16:39

Yeah, and the first I remember when I first woke up in 2021 or 2022, I was so elated just to be awake that I coasted through the next year just almost high off of my spiritual awakening. And the most but interestingly enough, after I did a ton of work, it's that last. It's the ego death and those really deeply rooted practices that are unhealthy thought habits that have really been like. That's been a real brutal experience for me.

Speaker 2: 17:12

Yeah, spirituality. You made a great that's a great statement, cynthia. It is not for the weak of heart, because it is going to bring everything up. You're going to have to face everything and the fear, the place your ego will go in its toolbox to prevent you from this expansion will be knee bending, gut wrenching. You know fear that takes you to the ground and tells you you can't and lies to you, and you're going to have to be prepared for that and get through that, because you can and you will.

Speaker 1: 17:42

I don't think there's enough conversation, honestly, about that aspect of it. I think we talk a lot about the synchronicities, dark night of the soul, yeah, those sort of initial things, and it's kind of like we uh, we sort of drop off, but uh, it really is. Uh, I mean and I'm not trying to deter anybody from having a spiritual awakening?

Speaker 2: 18:00

No, but you just want to be ready.

Speaker 1: 18:01

Yeah, just know that you will lose a lot of people, places and things. Potentially. Some of them you know, some of them you may not want to lose, but it'll be for your best. And digging up the most deeply. I did not realize how deeply rooted my issues about societies like things like nepotism and cronyism. Those are two things that still I still struggle with not getting set off about.

Speaker 2: 18:29

Nepotism and cronyism you mean in the world.

Speaker 1: 18:40

Yeah, like I still will like in terms of triggers that show me I still have healing to do. I still get occasionally triggered by what I can see as people being just handed thing opportunities in life and that goes back to feeling like I had to work so hard for every opportunity.

Speaker 2: 18:57

Yeah, Um I, I can totally understand that. Um yeah, that's that can. Yeah, and it sticks with you when you go through life. Sometimes it doesn't shed all at once, but then sometimes you can have a very big, powerful awakening that you get through it immediately, you know, and you're able to transcend immediately through that. But sometimes it's layers that have to peel sometimes it's layers that have to peel.

Speaker 1: 19:28

Yeah, yeah, I think for me it was definitely an onion. So what did you?

Speaker 2: 19:36

get a calling to go into spiritual teaching, or was it just a slow transition? For me, the profound nature of the experience was so big that I couldn't keep it in my body, so it was like coming out of me, you know, in terms of like speaking and teaching and writing, and it just I felt like a letter carrier that would be given a huge letter and I had to deliver it and I had to toe the line between proselytizing, evangelizing and just putting it in a discourse. So I had to learn that, because I wanted to run around and put my hands on the shoulders of every human being and say, hey, it's right in front of you here. I mean, like one of my favorite songs of all time says it's, you know, your stairway lies on the whispering wind. I mean, that's how close it is to you and so, um, uh, that's, that's what I knew, that was my calling and that what.

Speaker 2: 20:35

I was going to do and you know, fortunately, in writing the books they got out there in a big way, um, and I'm, you know I'm, I'm continuing on that path because there's more to talk about after 20 years. You know it's, it's the world has changed and people are more open to this, and so there's a new way of putting it out.

Speaker 1: 20:55

Yeah, it's uh. It's been fascinating to watch over the last couple of years is uh, so many people started to finally have conversations more openly about spirituality and and I love seeing the trend it's really trending with younger generations, which I think is great because they need it with the mental health crisis Yep. Yeah, you brought up the ego, the ego death, the ego death is. That's brutal.

Speaker 2: 21:19

That was brutal for me.

Speaker 1: 21:21

Because your ego will fight.

Speaker 2: 21:24

Correct. It's designed to do that? Yeah, yeah, that's a great point. So it's designed to protect and defend who you are, and so, when these beliefs are under attack, or they're being changed or they're dissolving, the ego wants to fight for their existence, and it flares up with as much as it can, even even some deep stuff in the bag of tricks that are usually connected with fear, in order to do it. But it's not really ego death, it's the change of what the ego is doing to support you.

Speaker 1: 22:02

Hmm, I like that. Yeah, do you have any advice for um, for people who have um? So you mentioned um, those blocks. So, like I know, a lot of people have money blocks. They have you know they don't believe in that. I don't believe abundance, or they're trying to manifest things, but they're really struggling with getting into that energy of being what, that which, uh, which they're trying to to bring about. Do you have any advice for people who are struggling with that?

Speaker 2: 22:30

um, what I would say is, if you have blocks, the key is how badly do you want to get through it right, how badly you really have to test yourself in terms of what you're looking to get to. Um, and what I mean by test yourself is you have to ask yourself does it still serve you to believe the thoughts you have that are giving you the blocks? Or can you replace some of these thoughts of can't with can? Can you replace some of the ideas that you have in your head that have limited you with more of the ideas that you have in your head that have limited you with more of the truth of what's possible for you? You really have to dissect what it is that's keeping you blocked and you really have to be honest with yourself.

Speaker 1: 23:16

Okay, that's great advice. So so you've written three books now. I love it. I love it. Can you share uh sort of that? That author journey uh in in ending with the new book?

Speaker 2: 23:29

Yeah, so, um, uh, the first book, um, I don't know if this is going to be audio or visual, but, um, the first book was I am, okay, great, so I am. The power of discovering who you are. Is the first book? Um, the second book and you know that's a full book on on self-awareness and self-understanding that reveals everything in my experience. They asked me to write a second book and there was a piece edited out on time, so I wrote time in a bottle, which is how time works in your life.

Speaker 2: 23:54

Um, so that was the second book and then for the last 10 years, I've been working on the new book, which is a result of everything I've worked on with individuals and how to break through and get to either the top level in sports or the, the, what they want to in relationships or business or anything that they're dealing with that they've been quoted, as you say, blocked from because of their ego, uh, which has kept them in sort of a constant loop, and how to break through that, and it's called invincible, the mindset of infinite potential and the secretvitable Success.

Speaker 2: 24:26

This just came out recently, so I'm really excited about this piece of work. This is sort of the I don't know it's everything. I poured my soul into this, so that's what I've been working on. This is the new one that's coming out. Like you know, I'm so honored to get a chance to talk to you, with you about it, cynthia, and share with your audience. But that book is an eight step process to an expanded state of mind, a more empowered state of mind, a more mindful presence, and it leads you to become a more powerful creator.

Speaker 1: 24:56

I love that. I love the simplicity of the cover. It's it really lets you focus on what it's about. It's really beautiful. But all your books are your books are all beautiful. I'm a bit of a graphic art snob.

Speaker 2: 25:07

I appreciate that so much. Thank you, I absolutely. That's a great compliment from you, so thank you.

Speaker 2: 25:15

Yeah, I'm excited because the presence of what they offer on the outside, I believe, has been delivered on the inside. That's what I'm most excited about is they turn the pages and you know, but you have to be ready, like you say. You have to be ready for this work because it's really gonna challenge you on some things. But what's on the other side of that, cynthia, as you know, is so beautiful and so comforting and so Exciting and so empowering, so that your presence and how you think, and you're so aware of it when you go into life every day and it just it takes you to another level of being.

Speaker 1: 25:55

It really does. You know, I, uh, I've been on the journey now for four years and, uh, some of it was it was brutal but worth it. Uh, in facings, you know, we like to tell ourselves stories about who or what we're about and sometimes, when you're really, when you're trying to evolve to the higher version of yourself, you're confronted with some aspects of yourself that you don't actually like very much, and that was hard for me because I talk about a lot on the scale of consciousness at the bottom of it.

Speaker 1: 26:26

I lived in that energy of guilt and shame at the very bottom of Hawkins' consciousness scale, for decades decades, and it was such a hard moment to see that on the chart and realize that I was at the very bottom of it, when I had gifted myself with being this kind of person what was clearly going to be higher in the charts and to see that my predominant energy was that of shame and guilt for such a long time. But once I broke through the other side of that and just accepted that that really was what it was and that guilt and shame aren't about us doing something wrong necessarily. It's the way that we feel about the things that have occurred or happened in our life.

Speaker 2: 27:01

Exactly. Wow, well said, that's exactly right.

Speaker 1: 27:04

Yeah, that was a powerful moment and I still, you know, I try to talk really openly about the journey not being complete, because it's not, it's a lifetime journey. And I think sometimes, with spirit, both of us are spiritual teachers. Sometimes I get a little bit irritated with the spiritual community because there's such a focus on perfection and behaving. It's almost like, well, we're back in church now again, where we're telling people to be perfect.

Speaker 2: 27:25

Yeah, no, that's.

Speaker 2: 27:27

That's really well said, and a point on that I want to make is that it's like this yeah, we have to be perfect when we already are in terms of our unfolding, because at each moment we're doing the best we can.

Speaker 2: 27:42

And the reason that guilt, shame and regret are such poisons to the mind is because they're not who you are. They're who you were in terms of the way you saw the past right or what you did. That just gave you reflection on who you don't want to be. But to carry it into this moment is to poison this moment and who you are, because in this moment you can renew the spirit of your mind, you can renew your soul, you can redefine who you choose to be in this moment. And it can be free of shame because and free of guilt and free of remorse and free of regret, where you just say I forgive my former self. That was the best I had in that moment, because if I could have done better, I would have. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose to own this moment with the new understanding of who I am one who is free of guilt, shame and regret, and one who sees and believes in more worth and possibility.

Speaker 2: 28:35

That's the goal of this book.

Speaker 1: 28:37

I love that. Yeah, I was going to say who's this a good book for, besides everybody.

Speaker 2: 28:45

I love that you say that today so intuitive. So who's this a good book for? It's for anybody who's looking for the deepest, most life-changing wisdom they can find. I mean, there's a lot of beautiful stuff out there from a lot of people, including yourself, but people that are on a path that want to really understand the mechanics of how life comes together, how to release the past, how to step into the present moment and own the ego and direct the ego, how to get rid of limiting beliefs, how to own self-respect, self-awareness and self-worth. And then how to, how to use the power of I am then from that moment, from a more authentic, authentic, grounded belief in who you are, so that it can really create for you.

Speaker 2: 29:26

And then you know, step seven is how to master the traps and negativity of life and how you, when you have to go back into life with this new thing, but with this new understanding and new identity. But life's still going to be there with all its negativity and all its traps, and it's probably going to increase because you're shining more light. So it's you know, darkness is like, try and come a little harder at you, but as I say in the book, you know, um, light will always overcome the darkness, but darkness can never overcome the light.

Speaker 1: 29:57

So anyway, so it prepares you for that.

Speaker 2: 30:01

So that's what it's for Athletes, individuals, anybody going through anything in life that's ready for some new insight to empower their mind.

Speaker 1: 30:14

That's it. I love that Beautifully said. You're always so well-spoken. You can tell how much experience you have because it just comes. So it's just a gift that comes so natural to you. If people wanted to order your books and learn more about you, where would they go?
