My first encounter with Sean David Morton Was on March 13, 1997. I’d been listening to Coast to Coast AM ever since I withdrew from my first year of broadcasting school. At the time, I was slowly going blind—losing the low vision I’d been blessed with since birth to my congenital eye condition. I’d been waiting for over six months for surgery that could have potentially saved my vision, but a doctor’s strike was keeping me at home, out of school and up all night listening to Coast to Coast Am with Art Bell—the number one rated overnight radio show in North America at that time.
By this time, , I had fallen into depression, hopelessness and despair about my own life, the future and the world around me. I had prayed, but it didn’t feel like God was listening to anything I was saying. Then Sean came on the radio—guns blazing about the Phoenix lights, the Area 51 interview with Victor, the prophecies of the Great Pyramid, the Bible, the future and so much more. I was hooked and I didn’t want the ride to end. Back in those days, I had to tune in to Art’s AM affiliate in Cleveland which I could only get at night and if the radio conditions were just right in Toronto.
Sean’s message about a plan for humanity and our future restored that hope within me and began to lift me out of the funk I’d been in for months. Within a week, my surgery was scheduled and I began to feel better. About nine months later, I finally lost all of my sight, just before Christmas of 1997—truly the nadir of my existence. Sean was on with Art again soon after giving predictions about the coming year and I took his message of hope for humanity to heart, vowing to push through long enough to see some of the amazing things he was talking about.
I rebuilt my life, returning to school, becoming a DJ and falling in love with sound and radio. Over the next five years, I’d listen to Sean’s radio shows, read his Vajra Chronicles and subscribe to the Delphi Associates Newsletter… many of which I kept in protective plastic sleeves like Spiderman comics.
I never thought I’d get the chance to meet Sean, but I decided to face the unknown and travel down to a seminar in Chicago on my own to meet him in 2002. Attending a Sean David Morton seminar was part tent revival, part X-Files episode and part yoga retreat. We were all on the edge of our seats the entire weekend as Sean dove deep into the topics he couldn’t talk about on the Art Bell show.
We met again a couple of years later when I flew down to California to attend another retreat in Santa Barbara. Sean and his adorable wife Melissa took me to a comedy show at the legendary Comedy magic Club on Hermosa Beach before we hung out at his house.
Over the years, we stayed in touch while Sean moved his radio show online to Revolution Radio. He was gracious enough to come on and do my radio show several times while I worked at CHRY community radio in Toronto. He was certainly the most interesting person I’d ever met.
I’ll cherish our time hanging out and joking around in Montreal and when he came to Toronto to visit. It was truly a glorious honour to break bread with him and have some one on one face time.
After countless years of friendship from both near and far, Sean had one of the deepest impacts on my thinking, my spiritual growth, my attitude and my life. I would not have the hope-filled perspective I do today had it not been for his kindness, wisdom, humour, brilliant insights and all of that Irish folk knowledge he delivered with style and a smile. Even when the chips were down and he was at his lowest points, I stuck by him as a friend and brother ready to help any way I could.
May Sean’s long sleep be peaceful.
