The Muse: Michael Joseph Jackson

Download this episode (83 min)  
Michael mused billions. Through him, ordinary Black folk felt extraordinary and this shared sentiment of excellence ushered in an era of unprecedented achievements in all areas of Black life.

Up late Thursday reeling from the news of Michael's sudden death, I took a coast-to-coast journey with Facebook friends and family to remember the man and his music with Shenita Moore, LaTanya Scott-Jones, Felicia Bradley, Marvin Taylor, Darnise Martin and Matt Lloyd.

Thoughts, feelings, and emotions shared here, made me realize how important it is to try to understand one another while we're still alive. It is my sincere hope "Our Greatest Hour' RADIO Show, succeeds in conveying the light of God in all we journey to see.

Thank you for listening & BE Blessed!

My Greatest Grandmother: SADIE "Mama Sa"

Download this episode (94 min)  
Greetings to all and the Bradley-Malone clan from SADIE, our GREATEST Mother. This is a picture of my mother's mother, Millie. I'm calling her mother back 500-10,000 years ago, "SADIE".

As this period is relatively recent in our approximate 100,000 year human history, listen and learn how science now makes it possible to truly know from who and where you came. This journey retraces the middle passage back to where Sadie's ship embarked to discover where my greatest, great grandmother hails. Fortunate enough to remember my maternal grandmother and meet her mother at age five, this is a spectacular event even in the life of one whose family has always acknowledged what little we knew of our African Ancestry and provided for me to journey there as a young woman.

With Special Guest: Gina Paige, president and co-founder of African Ancestry, Inc. we take a journey to my mother's mother's mother's home via a recent DNA test conducted by Dr. Rick Kittles of African Ancestry, Inc. Just 8 weeks ago, I sent a swab of saliva in a simple kit to have my MatriClanTM DNA ancestry determined. The results which are revealed on this show, are shared with the following family members: children, daughter's children, siblings, sister's children, mother, mother's siblings, aunt's children, grandmother, and grandmother's siblings.

Ms. Paige brings a wealth of diverse management and entrepreneurial experience to her role as president of African Ancestry. Ms. Paige has helped manage and improve the profitability of some of America's most well-known consumer brands. The list of firms to which she has contributed her considerable talents includes Fortune 200 companies such as Sara Lee (from which she received two corporate distinctions) and Colgate-Palmolive. Ms. Paige holds a degree in Economics from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT WINNIE - Grandma Millie's last surviving sibling. This show is dedicated to all the Sadie's in my line and yours, you too are invited to identify your maternal and paternal ancestry with African Ancestry, Inc. using a special DNA testing discount link available for "Our Greatest Hour" RADIO Show! listeners , at http://shop.africanancestry.com/ogh (this precise link must be clicked to receive the discount) & BE Blessed!

An amazing ride through the life, lineage and legacy of Special Guest Andria Wimberly is in store for you. This American trans-Atlantic journey to MAMA Africa with genealogist, Andria Wimberly traces her maternal heritage to its exact origin in Africa. A native of south New Jersey, it wasn't until age 27 that Andria learned her real mother was. An active member of the African American Historical & Genealogy Society - Tampa, she and numerous others recently received DNA tests results from African Ancestry (www.AfricanAncestry.com) identifying their ethnic lineage to Africa.

Tampa's AAHGS Chapter sponsored a DNA workshop conducted by Gina Paige, President and CEO with an attendance of about 50 members and guests on March 7th. The audience sat spell-bound as she presented a step by step unpretentious DNA explanation. She also shared that African Ancestry has the largest data base in the world for African Americans.

Some well known African Americans who have received their specific African roots linked to an African country are Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, India Arie, Judge Glenda Hatchett, The Honorable Andrew Young, Isaiah Washington, Blair Underwood, and the list goes on and on!

I had the pleasure to meet and video interview AAHGS members Melva Kittrell and Carmen Harleston who were all smiles after sharing their ancestry, and whose stories will be uploaded to YouTube. (Ms. Harleston's show is now up, click link to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTt1dJNotVw)

Steve Lewis and theMuse discuss Technology & the Laws of Spirituality

Download this episode (44 min)  
What you won't hear is our conversation about how nuclear waste in the Sea of Aidan off the east coast of Africa relates to African piracy, or why Barry Madoff is the perfect example of someone with high life force and low consciousness because our lawn man decided to come over unannounced right after the train left the station.

What you will hear is the substance of our enlightened discussion about the survival instinct healing truly is, and the reality of conscious elevation being a choice. The AIM technology we've been sharing with you since I joined the program back in September is revisited here with an examination of the role Spiritual Law as prerequisite for our evolution.

This is my forth bi-monthly reading and my first one was zero; second; 35; thrird 73, and you can follow my journey via these prior shows:

September 2008 -http://ourgreatesthour.mypodcast.com/2008/09/The_Sanctuary_of_Our_Energetic_Matrix_with_Stephen_Lewis-141340.html

January 2009 -http://ourgreatesthour.mypodcast.com/2009/01/Return_to_the_Sanctuary_of_One_EMC_with_Stephen_Lewis-179291.html

Making Peace with:

Download this episode (57 min)  
In Clearwater, Friday, May 29th with GuruGanesha Singh and Manish Vyas on their widely touted Peace Tour, Snatam Kaur will lead a children's yoga workshop at 3:30pm prior to the sacred chant concert at 7:30pm. Who better to teach it than a life-long practitioner and new mother of a baby girl?

This hour we join Snatam Kaur on a journey of making peace through sacred Sikh devotional music---Kirtan. We talk about who and what she credits for her foundation in this sacred chant tradition. She's the real deal.

GuruGanesha Singh is an icon of the yoga music genre and many wonder where they've heard his voice. Is he really a member of the Grateful Dead?

Manish Vyas is a unique phenomenon in the world of fusion music. A talented multi-instrumentalist and singer, over the last few years he has emerged as both an extraordinary performing and recording artist.



I know soul music, but music from the ethers?

Bring the family on a journey of sight, sound, yoga, and sacred chant that opens one's portal to peace. It's one thing to check out what someone else is grooving to, but to vibe as One at the Source, or as Snatam says, "The Sound Current" is a whole 'nother. Advance tickets suggested: http://www.spiritvoyage.com/eventslanding.aspx

Meet John Ramirez of Bogotá's RED7 Band --All Aboard!

Download this episode (50 min)  
THE JOURNEY HERE:
I became a Christian around ten years ago. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia and at the age of six I was taken to Pereira, to my grand-parents' home because I had run away from home with my sister to leave the difficult life with my step-mother. In Pereira, I sometimes had to stop going to school and go to collect junk or cartoon (or whatever was recyclable) in order to sell and with this money buy something to eat at home. My grandfather was a bricklayer and sometimes went to sing for money with his old guitar at night. He was very poor and my grandmother was sick in bed and could not stand due to a bad surgery in her head she could not move half of her body.

Later on, again in Bogotá, at the age of 14 I was very bored living with my father and my step-mother, she didn't love me and treated me as her servant, not as her "son". That made me feel very sad and caused me a great pain in my heart and in my soul.

I left home at 17 and due to my age and lack of job experience I had to try many things in order to get money and food. I worked in many jobs where they didn't pay me, I had to beg for something to take home and prepare for meal since I was now living with my girlfriend and she was pregnant and there were no groceries. Then I started to sell down the streets cigarettes and canned beer at some disco zones and when the party was over at 1:00am I had to sleep on a sidewalk covered with a cartoon box since at that time my transportation my did not pass by and because of the hunger I several times ate what I found on the floor.

I wished to die seeing myself in this situation. My life didn't have sense or purpose, I lived very angry and cursing, stealing from people when possible, drinking a lot and doing whatever I wanted to.
Finally I surrendered my life to Jesus when one friend of mine asked me to. I did it even not wanting to, but from that moment on my life was totally changed.

Now I am a very happy person, happily married, wishing to do many things for my Lord.
It is a pleasure for me to share this music and lyrics with you, which God has given to me and have been fortress for many in different moments of their lives.


Welcome aboard our first ride to Bogota, Colombia. Here Are the Songs in the Order they Were Played:
Y Vino La Luz
En Espirtu y en Verdad (El Gozo)
El Gozo
Gloria
Poder Eterno
