Overcome The Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck & Manifest The Life You Desire What if there were an owner’s manual for your life? And you had access to the latest, greatest, most up-to-date blueprint for your life’s purpose and happiness. Remove the mystery from attitudes, behavior patterns, and relationships. Set goals and make better life decisions. Your owner’s manual is accurate from childhood to advanced age and any individual can utilize its value at any point along the way. Personal development starts with understanding self, your first step to transforming your life from where you are to what you desire by discovering your owner’s manual or God Code! It’s all about finding your multi-dimensional karmic alignment in this lifetime to establish self-understanding which increases self-esteem, and empowers those wanting to take enlightened control of their life. With this understanding of self, one can then make positive life decisions and set goals that can change one’s life. Once you understand how you are wired from the “inside-out,” you can implement the techniques of effortless manifestation. This is the starting point and understanding your God Code assigned to you at birth is critical. Combining modern computer technology, mathematics, and a proven science of numbers (metrics) dating back to 4004 BCE, Joanne Justis is able to decipher the God Code assigned to each of us at birth by generating and analyzing your blueprint. The belief in Numerology is easier to grasp when put into context with realizing how the entire world revolves around numbers and mathematical equations. Everything boils down to numbers and the importance of numbers in our lives is endless–whether you are aware that you use numbers consciously or unconsciously daily–so it only stands to reason that the numbers we were born with play an integral role in determining our God Code on our journey. Whether or not you believe in the science of numbers, it is always subordinate to the individual's belief system and their power to want to change their destiny since we all have free will. Joanne is dedicated to assisting individuals in their personal development and self-improvement journey. Her personalized numerology charts and private readings provide laser-like insight into a person's Destiny, Soul Desire, Personality, Purpose, Personal Years, Behavior Patterns, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Soul Qualities or Life Lessons. Joanne is passionate about empowering people to establish self-understanding by deciphering their God Code assigned at birth.

E A James Swagger

A quick breakdown and suggestions for possible discussion on the show is given below Dogon Tribe of Mali's connection to Ireland's ancient sites Megalithic Links with Dogon Symbology and Associated Rock Art First Section Ancient cultures around the world are being re-evaluated as more advanced than first portrayed. Newgrange and the megalithic constructions are becoming more complex the more we study them. The Atlantean connection is explored as I unveil my ‘refugee by boats’ theory linking other European sites. An Atlantis connection has long been supposed with the ‘Tuatha De Danann’. Did descendents of the Dogon or their teachers’ aid the construction of Newgrange and other Megaliths? is there a connection to Passage grave sites in Alcalar Portugal? Hy brasil aka the ‘Other Atlantis’ explored as possible origins and links to a sunken landmass off the Irish coast known geologically as ‘Porcupine Bank’. The Dogon Tribe of Mali are highly controversial they maybe under threat of survival today from external pressure, will the world soon lose a strong connection to it's lost history? It's a miracle they have survived this long! Archaeoastronomy is providing new insights into ancient cultures outside mainstream archaeology, how is this happening? Precession is the key to unlocking mysteries of ancient cultures proving ever more valuable with each worldwide discovery or topic of research. Second Section Our ancestor had advanced knowledge compiled from centuries of research though few if any researchers today talk collectively of their Cosmology. I have treated Passage Graves as ‘astronomical observatories’ first and as tombs second. Mainstream archaeology has failed to address this in Ireland. Lunar Observations: depicting complex cycles and knowledge, Links to Sirius, I have showed Newgrange as a likely ‘Precessional Calculator’ in stone using Sirius. The Pleiades Constellation was revered and most likely used to observe precession and moon cycles. ‘Triple Water Waves’ logo appears at passage grave sites, one water wave drawn directly under each other three times; also this is Dogon art and an Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol. ‘Dogon Sun-wheels’ are logos directly related to Megalithic Art and also with Ancient Egypt. Callanish Stone Temple is linked with Newgrange in folklore and megalithic construction and also linked with a ‘Black Race’ of builders who came by boat; this could well be Dogon ancestors.

James Swagger was first introduced to topical science writing for a historical mysteries magazine in Ireland. Sadly it doesn't run anymore but it did wet his appetite for researching ancient knowledge and lost science in a professional sense. Initially it was for a favour due to his science and engineering background, although his career in this field soon took him away to Europe. James trained as a Systems Analyst in the energy industry. He has a taught Masters degree in engineering, a Bachelors degree in Physics with astronomy, and a Masters degree in Science, Research and Society. Initially James Swagger sought out the megalithic monuments of Western Europe in his spare time traveling around the UK, Ireland, and Denmark. His embrace of a multidisciplinary approach to the research of megalithic sites, and the larger view of 'passage grave cosmology' produced his first book, "The Newgrange Sirius Mystery: Linking Passage Grave Cosmology with Dogon Symbology". He also hosts his very own internet radio show called Capricorn Radio, which explores historical mysteries. He interviews fellow authors’ to unveil the true cultural blueprint of humanity. History has always been a passion for James from early on, most notably Egyptology, Assyrian, and Akkadian civilization of the middle-east. The megalithic civilization that dominates most of Western Europe also played a major role when James was growing up. James was born to Irish and Danish parents, whereby both countries host large numbers of well preserved passage graves and megaliths. He had spent equal time in both countries growing up and we would regularly take the ferry run from Ireland to Brittany to get to mainland Europe. It was on one of these journeys to Brittany that he stopped off in Carnac. It was then in his middle teens, that the mystery deepened for him. He realised for the first time the scale of the megalithic civilization, that it was lost, and that in the modern world we knew absolutely nothing of it. It wasn't until much later that he would research the megaliths in depth. Admittedly James finds the glory of Egyptian and Middle Eastern civilizations much more alluring than the megaliths. The mystery of the megaliths however are his first true calling in terms of research.

Carolyn Gervais

Dear Show Host,

What force sets life events in motion and puts us on our soul’s destined course? 

Are lives preordained for specific outcomes; are we just along for the ride? 

How do we participate in our true destinies without blocking our own way?

These and other important questions for spiritual seekers, like your listeners, are examined and illustrated in author Carolyn Gervais’ new book, “Life Before Life: How Soul Agreements Direct our Destiny”, taken from her significant mystical journey as well as real examples of her client resolutions.

“There is without a doubt,  an energy experience our soul directs as it guides us into what comes next, in the life we call now,” says Carolyn. “During the life before our conscious life, our soul connects with other souls, making agreements, which will mutually activate and orchestrate the awakening of each other’s awareness and purpose during our human sojourn together.”

In her unique book searchers will learn how each soul acts as an internal navigation system, working with us through our free will to direct our life along the path of our true destiny.

Carolyn is frequently published in the Sedona Journal of Emergence and her messages can be seen and heard on numerous websites and podcasts.  She is certified in spiritual psychology, clinical hypnotherapy and has a master’s degree in holistic nutrition.  Her services include: soul path plans, intuitive dream interpretation and spiritual counseling.

The story showcases the journey of a boy and his family, struggling through the dictates of the western laws and medical world. This is the journey this family is willing to travel for the sake of their young sons choices for the life and death he chooses faced with terminal bone cancer. A riveting work that will move you to you laugh, cry, get angry and make you care. What would you do if this was your child? This book also contains various personal accounts of those who were able to approach their own final days in peace and acceptance. A literary inspiration that will serve as a wake-up call for those who wish to understand the truth that life is a continuum, and that in reality, there is no ending nor beginning.

Amy Rose

1. Amy Rose is the Canadian "Redneck Diva." She is an Independent Country Music Association award winner, as well as an Ontario Country Music Association award nominee. Her single, "I Just Want You To Know" hit #9 on the New Music Weekly country chart, and #85 on the Music Row chart. Her new single, "Party Like a Redneck" is currently climbing both charts (#22, #116.) She recently performed at CMA Fest and will open for Big and Rich in the fall.

“A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet…” said Juliet, in Shakespeare’s famous play, Romeo and Juliet. The question is, would they sound as sweet as THIS Rose? Part down-home country girl, part sophisticated musical veteran, Amy Rose has already earned a reputation for being one of Ontario, Canada’s best-known secrets. From her early years on small-town fair and festival stages, to her brand-new, Nashville-recorded single, this Rose with the soaring vocal range and pop country sensibilities is on a journey to the world stage and beyond…THIS is the beginning! Recorded at Sony Tree Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, “I Just Want You To Know” was the first single from Amy’s forthcoming third album, The Beginning. The track, a pop-country cover of a song originally recorded by the Backstreet Boys, was produced by Glenn Coulson and Marty Beecroft of After Tuesday Productions. It was the Most Added Single at country radio, weekending October 26, 2012, according to New Music Weekly magazine, and it reached #9 on the NMW Country chart and #85 on the Music Row chart. The song also helped Amy receive the “Rising Star” nomination in the 2013 Ontario Country Music Association awards and three nominations in the 2013 Independent Country Music Association Awards; Amy won the ICoMA award for Emerging Artist. It also helped her earn a Barrie Cultural Grant award, voted on by a jury of professionals from across Canada. The song was released to the European market in April 2013, and has been aired on more than 200 stations for 5 consecutive weeks. Next up: The US release of “(Redneck Reunion) Party Like A Redneck,” a song that was co-written by Amy and her producers. It features some heavy-hitters on the Nashville studio scene: Mark Prentice, bass (Vince Gill, Keith Urban;) Glen Duncan, fiddle (Reba, Shania;) and Mike Rojas, keys (Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan,) among others. A funny, tongue-in-cheek music video has already secured a spot in the rotation on CMT Canada, and it was recently the #1 music video on OnlyLyrics.com. The video for “Redneck Reunion” also debuted in the Top 25 Most Watched Music Videos on Y’allwire.com (#21) and it has more than 100,000 views on Youtube. The track reached #7 on the Independent Music Network country chart, and it has received airplay in Netherlands, UK, Germany, Australia, Japan, Denmark, and of course, Canada. It was the 3rd most added track at country radio for the week of April 23, 2013. Currently, the single is #22 NMW and #116 Music Row. Amy Rose grew up in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, where she began her singing career at the age of 5. Her first public performance was in a singing contest at the Barrie Promenade Days, a local fair. A series of singing competitions followed, including her most memorable early moment: “It was at the Kinmount Fair,” Amy recalls. “I had been the winner for the previous three years, when I was lucky enough to meet one of my local heroes, Jason McCoy (2001 CCMA Best Male Artist.)” It was also during this period that Amy was trained in, and mastered the art of yodeling, earning her the respect of Ontario’s country music community. Amy’s first album, One Special Girl, was released independently, when she was 13. On the strength of this album, she landed a spot on Dorian Baxter’s Gospelenium Tour, opening for Joni and Cathy Twitty, the daughters of her then-idol, Conway Twitty. Other openers for The Wilkinsons, Emerson Drive and High Valley followed. Her 2nd album, The Last of the True Believers, was released in 2001, receiving airplay, and earning her the reputation as one of Canada’s best young female artists. A brief hiatus from recording gave Amy the opportunity to raise a family with her husband; passing along the strong values that have always been an important part of her life. During this period, she continued to inspire live audiences by performing for fundraisers and promotional events, including those for Opry Orillia, Opry North, Penetangueshene Centennial Museum, and other Midland events. But, Nashville began to whisper in this northern girl’s ear… In the Summer of 2010, Amy began working with After Tuesday Productions, best known for their recent #1 iTunes album by Derek James Tilley. Earning Amy comparisons to contemporaries like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, “I Just Want You To Know” and “(Redneck Reunion) Party Like A Redneck” are just a preview of what lies ahead for this burgeoning vocal superstar. Remember, this is only the beginning…

Josey Milner

Josey Milner is a teen country artist and anti-bullying advocate, with a Top 25 NMW single, "Not Pretty Enough." That song also hit #105 Music Row, and it's currently #3 on the Indie World chart. Josey is a spokesperson for Angels and Doves, a national non-profit. She is also an ICoMA award nominee, who recently opened for Scotty McCreery to a sold out crowd

Country Music Starlet, Josey Milner burst onto the international radio airwaves with her first release in September 2012, a cover version of Miranda Lambert’s “Dead Flowers.” The debut single from this Kansas City, MO native received airplay overseas in Belgium, Netherlands, Australia, UK, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Canada, Poland and Japan, while placing in the Top 10 of an internationally-recognized country music chart. Meanwhile, her Youtube video for another classic cover, Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight” has received more than 60,000 views. With recent performances at fairs and festivals in Kansas and Missouri, including a spot on the Missouri State Fair and an opener for country star Chris Cagle, this former teen rodeo and pageant princess is poised for stardom on the international country music stage. Growing up on a small farm in Missouri, one might say that country is Josey’s pedigree. At age 7, she began barrel racing at local rodeos, making the rodeo arena her first stage. She started singing the National Anthem at her youth rodeos, eventually graduating to performances at PRCA rodeos across Missouri and Kansas, including the American Royal in Kansas City. These anthem performances led to the decision for her to hang up her spurs and follow her dreams of country music fame. Josey’s country music career kicked off with her singing at country music shows, local fairs, and to pretty much anyone who would listen. In 2010, she was invited to sing on the main stage at the International Steel Guitar Show in St Louis. It was at this event that she received some sage-like advice from the veteran musicians: Get a band together, and get out there and start playing. After returning home from St. Louis, that’s exactly what she did. The Josey Milner Band has become one of the most sought-after live acts in the Kansas City area. Performing an ever-evolving and versatile mix of new country, classic country, country rock, and a little bit of Rock & Roll, Josey has led the band through raucous sets at Buffalo Bill Days, Slater Fall Festival, Holden Street Fair, Timbercreek, The Landing, and numerous others, performing for sold-out crowds and claiming the title of “Kansas City’s Princess of Country Music.” It was these live performances that attracted the interest of a national management company. In September, Josey signed an exclusive artist management deal with MTS Management Group. Soon after, her single, “Dead Flowers” debuted on the Independent Music Network’s country chart at #10, receiving tons of fan requests and international airplay. The song was also among the most downloaded on digital music delivery site, Airplay Direct. By November, Josey was ranked among the Top 200 International Artists by CMG Radio Network. Oh yeah…in the meantime, Josey earned recognition as a National Honor Society student! In December 2012, Josey released her new single, “Not Pretty Enough,” with veteran engineers Matthew Russo (Hall and Oates) and Larry Gann (Elton John) and producer, Micah Burdick. The single kicked off an anti-bullying campaign, with Josey as national spokesperson for Angels and Doves. The single was the second most-added at country radio (New Music Weekly) in its first week of release, and it reached #23 NMW and #105 Music Row. It is currently #6 Indie World. Josey is continuing with an extensive series of radio, print and online interviews, as well as taking her live shows to audiences across the Midwest and beyond. She recently performed at the Nascar Kobalt 400, for the Welcome Home Troops Benefit, the Teddy Bear Festival to benefit children’s charities, and at a CMA Fest showcase in Nashville, this June. Josey recently opened to a sold out crowd of 1500 for American Idol winner Scotty McCreery in late June and CMT star, Jon Wolfe in July. In January 2013, Josey embarked on her very first radio promotion tour, visiting stations in Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma. Also that month, she was named as one of the Top 10 “Hottest New Stars” in a book from PDS Entertainment. In April, Josey was nominated for Most Promising Youth Artist at the 2013 Independent Country Music Association awards. One thing is for certain, wherever her music may take her, she will always remain the small-town girl with the rodeo spurs still hanging on her wall.
