Once upon a time, I was an ordained Buddhist monk, living deep in the enchanting forests of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Immersed in the ancient teachings of the Buddha, I spent my days in silence, meditation, breathwork, and deep contemplation. Surrounded by fellow monks, I was on a mission to uncover invaluable knowledge about the self, the lower self, and the higher self – to ultimately grasp the true essence of life.
But my spiritual quest began long before this remarkable adventure.
It began with a near-death experience (NDE) – one that took me far beyond the physical realm and into a dimension of pure, loving awareness. I found myself outside my body, beyond all human conditioning, and having a deep conversation with a being I would later come to know as Thoth – the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom and writing.
In that moment, after I’d asked all my questions, I was given a choice: to move on to the next place, or return to my body and continue life as Ashley Morton.
Before I could even answer, I woke up in my bed. And everything had changed.
This transformative event ignited an unexpected and awe-inspiring spiritual awakening. I was no longer just a man – I was a soul reconnected to Source, and open to divine communication. This shift in consciousness opened the door to a dazzling realm brimming with infinite possibilities.
Throughout my life, I’ve faced some harrowing challenges and, for a long time, felt adrift in a sea of doubt, worry, and fear. That constant, nagging sense of not being enough – of lacking what I needed, or what I thought I needed – kept me stuck in a mindset of scarcity and limitation.
Growing up on a council estate, I was always surrounded by the struggles of others, each person seemingly trapped in their own complex web of problems, barely surviving, just getting by. Then, after enduring years of substance misuse, trauma, guilt, shame, anxiety, loss, and fear, life orchestrated a powerful awakening for me.
It began as a quiet gut feeling – a deep knowing that something was fundamentally wrong with the world. That surely, there had to be more to existence than mere survival and endless struggle. I started to realise that the world I saw around me no longer resonated with who I was meant to be… and that spark of awareness lit the way to a whole different path. A better one. One filled with hope, curiosity, and the possibility of something more.
This journey sparked a profound shift in my understanding, causing me to question everything: my beliefs, my choices, my career, and my relationships. Suddenly, everything felt incredibly unclear… and this feeling ignited a greater quest deep within me.
This fundamental change in perspective opened up space in my mind – a space where I could begin to embrace reality as it truly is, rather than how I imagined it to be.
Since that moment, I’ve dedicated myself fully to growth and healing, with every new day presenting a new opportunity to learn, evolve, and deepen my awareness. This path is ongoing, and I’m committed to walking it for as long as I exist.
Over the years, I’ve gained insights into the true essence of life and our purpose here on this planet. I’ve studied a range of philosophies and spiritual principles – but the most powerful teacher by far has been life itself. No book or theory can ever match the lessons we get to learn through direct experience, and I believe this is at the heart of any real spiritual journey.
Our lives – how we move through them, how we face challenges, how we navigate each experience – form the core foundation of our existence. I hold the conviction that we are all eternal souls, part of a vast, interconnected, collective consciousness, put here on Earth to embrace the human experience and grow through it.
After all, we were all born from the same tremendous explosion of energy that sparked the Big Bang and created the cosmos. Yes, that means you are made of stardust! You carry within you the very essence that fuels the stars in the universe.
Science has proven what spiritual traditions have said for centuries: everything in our 3D reality – our bodies, our homes, our pets, the sun and the moon, and all living and non-living things – is composed of energy. We are all energetic beings, intimately connected, forming part of the same universal consciousness.
But here’s the piece many of us were never taught: how to truly cope with our human experiences, particularly the painful ones. Negativity, stress, guilt, heartbreak, anger, loss, fear… when these overwhelming emotions arise, we often suppress or reject them, thinking we’re protecting ourselves. But in truth, we’re storing that energy inside our bodies, and – over time – that unresolved pain becomes the root of so much of our worldly suffering.
The exhilarating news? I can guide you toward liberation.
Through my teachings, I’ll equip you with powerful tools to help you live a life filled with joy, love, compassion, and genuine excitement. This is your invitation to step onto a whole new path – one of healing, transformation, and freedom. And I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Embracing life as a spiritual being is all about fully immersing yourself in the present moment, whatever it may hold, and flowing with it rather than resisting it. But that doesn’t mean staying stuck in situations that no longer serve you. It means allowing your thoughts and emotions to drift by like clouds in the sky – acknowledged, but not clung to.
It means following your passions to the best of your ability, and surrendering to whatever unfolds on your journey. Because this is the pinnacle of existence, where genuine transformation occurs. This is where life truly opens up.
This is my calling – to walk my spiritual path with devotion, and to support others who are ready to awaken, heal, and return to their true nature.
