“In our painting, the light that Dr. King is approaching represents the dream achieved. He is accompanied by the spirits of equality and justice. To keep the dream from fading, we must always keep moving toward it.” (Cover art by Leo & Diane Dillon)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) was one of America’s greatest visionaries. He was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. His leadership was fundamental to the movement’s success in ending the legal segregation of blacks in the South and in other portions of the United States. Dr. King was instrumental in bringing about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which legally protected the rights of African Americans to live, work, and vote without discrimination. He promoted nonviolent tactics to achieve civil rights, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
King’s peaceful and nonviolent resistance was inspired by the teachings of Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi (who led the peaceful struggle for India’s independence from Great Britain.) "I came to feel that this was the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom." King’s work was helped in the civil rights movement by such people as Rosa Parks, who served as a catalyst for the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott.
~ Foreword in the book by Coretta Scott King ~
“My husband, Martin Luther King, Jr., had a great dream for America. He believed that people of all colors and religions could learn how to live together and treat each other like brothers and sisters. In his dream, the people of America would put an end to hatred, injustice, and violence, and a new spirit of kindness, sharing, and unity would spread across the land. He believed that we could achieve this dream if we would all make a commitment to forgiveness, justice, and love for each other.
In this beautiful book, “I Have A Dream”, fifteen artists have provided their creative illustrations to demonstrate the beauty of his dream and the beliefs that motivated his life and leadership. Their artistry blends beautifully with the inspired message that he shared with millions of Americans at the March on Washington on that magical day of August 28, 1963. His vision of peace with justice and love for everyone still inspires and challenges us to create the beloved community. His legacy of courage, determination, and nonviolence still lights the way to the fulfillment of his dream. May God give us the wisdom and strength to carry forward his unfinished work!”
~ Ponder these words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ~
“…Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter…”
“…We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends…”
“…An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity…”

The "It Gets Better" video, is one of the most touching you will see on the subject of bullying, harrassment, and the recent barrage of suicides. "I've never told this story to anyone," said Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns during a meeting on 10/12/10.
The story Burns told was about the bullying he faced as a gay teen. While this video may make you cry, it is an important rallying call for the violence, bullying and harrassment to stop.
Isn't it time that we as a society stop hiding behind politic rhetoric and religious hypocrisy and grandstanding? There should be "Zero Tolerance" for this kind of behavior whether it's from students, parents, school administrators, teachers, religious leaders, politicians, etc. Using God, the Creator, or whatever you choose as your name to rationalize this behavior to support beliefs, violence, and the dehumanization of our fellow beings is not what Universal Truth and Higher Law is all about.
Isn't it time to Wake Up? Aren't we better than this? Speak out and share this information. Take a stand in your own lives, communities, religious groups, schools, neighborhoods, etc. and commit to treat each other with respect, dignity, and the way you want to be treated!
After all...isn't this The Golden Rule?
Blessings...Susan

The Maharic Seal technique is a keystone tool of such importance that it is made freely available to all. Like all Azurite MCEO techniques and tools, the Maharic Seal is grounded firmly in Universal Unified Field Physics, ancient Merkaba mechanics and Matter Template Science (aka the Divine Blueprint). These techniques are known as Bio-Regenesis Technologies that were once common knowledge, taught in the pre-ancient Ascension Schools of advanced Human cultures, and regarded as standard, as well as essential, daily practice.
Visit http://www.azuritepress.com/techniques/Maharic.php for the Full Eckasha Maharic Seal technique.
The Maharic Seal, like all Bio-Regenesis Technologies, implies specific application of conscious energy directed to, and within, the core manifestation template of the body. This technique directly activates the specific mathematical-geometrical relationship within, and between, the Angelic Human and planetary, organic, evolutionary blueprint, utilizing the pre-matter hydroplasmic frequencies of the 10th, 11th and 12th Dimension Mahara Current.
WITH REGULAR USE THE MAHARIC SEAL OR ECKASHA MAHARIC SEAL WILL:
Begin the process of activating the 8th thru 12th chakras of the personal Kathara Grid.
Assist the opening of the Crystal Seals in the body (which otherwise block DNA activation).
Open the Planetary Bio-Feed Interface within the personal body, enabling the body vehicle to become a truly effective tool for lasting planetary grid and sacred site work.
Trigger DNA Template activations which progressively and automatically activate the full 12 dimensional Merkaba.
Enable healing facilitators to transmit 12D frequency sub-harmonics, providing more powerful, longer lasting, often permanent, healing facilitation -free of personal and client energetic field distortions.
Protect users from disharmonic energies associated with Healing, Astral and Dream Time projection, and other potential sources of field encroachment/infiltration.
Assist fractious "Indigo Type 3¨ children (administered via parent).
Amplify results of all spiritually focused activity.
Harmonize personal and environmental energies.
Create Morphogenetic Re-Patterning, clearing Karmic/ Miasmic Imprints, which otherwise block DNA template activation and the attainment of true consciousness expansion and full embodiment of the Christos Principle.
Realign, revitalize and regenerate all aspects of the physical and Subtle-Energy Body Systems.
Prepare and equip practitioners to receive and hold the increasing flow of higher frequency energies flowing into the Planetary Grids and personal morphogenetic fields arising from the intensifying Stellar Activations Cycle now under way (2000 - 2017).
When regularly practicing the Eckasha Maharic Seal, the supply of high frequency energy that can be drawn into our bio-fields from the Planetary Maharic Shield is limited only by our own energy holding capacity. Our frequency-holding capacity can be progressively increased with consistent use of the Eckasha Maharic Seal as well as other recommended Keylontic Science technologies.
May you find much healing, restoration, and revitalization by utilizing this technique. Explore the many pages of information and other techniques throughout the Azurite Press website.
Blessings...Susan

Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger and put a smile on their face.
In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.
As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.
In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.
Music by Sick Puppies. Their album was release on April 3rd and is titled "Dressed Up As Life". http://sickpuppies.net
-------------------------------------------------
Note: The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There has been thousands of emails from all over the world from people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs Campaign and asking for permission. You don't need permission. This is the people's movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you CAN make a difference.
Celebrate the many possibilities there are to make a difference. This is just one story of many...and one that had millions of ripples. May you find your unique way to make a difference...it may be as easy as giving someone a smile, a hug, paying it forward, etc.
Blessings...Susan

May all hearts and minds be touched with this powerful song, "One Prayer" by Karl Anthony. It calls on us to be peacemakers and focuses on healing the hearts of "the people who hate."
Peace lies within each of us...may we come to express it fully in our lives and throughout our world and universe!
Blessings...Susan

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
~Margery Williams, "The Velveteen Rabbit"
Being real...living authentically are often the qualities of those people we've met or know who are at such peace within themselves that they exude a certain aura of joy, contentment, and serenity. Our society bombards us with advertising for the latest gadget or the next designer item with a belief that this will bring us happiness or contentment. Let's look at the increase of the pharmaceutical drugs that promise relief from depression, better sex, happier relationships, etc. Whatever issues we humans have encountered, there is a pill to take or a magic elixir or some product that promises the illusion of "fixing it". Yet, we know in our hearts that this is only another bandaid solution...never connecting with the root cause ~ or living as the real you!
Think of those moments when you were really you...no thoughts or excuses or apologies...just being in the moment with the truth of your innermost feelings, thoughts, etc. Were you able to share that or would you become uncomfortable in even allowing yourself to see and feel your own authenticity? To really know and love yourself, and thereby others.
Relax...Breathe...know that this may be uncomfortable when you first meet your real self. Find things in your life that support the real you. It may take you into a different circle of friends, new experiences and changes that will honor who you truly are!
Give the gift of love and appreciation to yourself...allow this to expand and grow. Explore new areas of interest. Those things you are no longer comfortable with...well, just let them go. You will find experiences that support the real you.
Because in the end, " these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
Blessings on your journeys...Susan

Making a difference in someone's life is often silently done, and we may not know in the moment how what we say and/or do can uplift and inspire another. This story is a profound example of how one teacher's acknowledgement ceremony impacted the lives of many others.
While I have seen this video many times before, I am sharing the recent email from Mary Robinson Reynolds (creator of the Acknowledgment movie at www.acknowledgmentmovie.com) focusing on September being the National Suicide Prevention month with you. May you, too, feel compelled to share its message as well as do something to make a difference in your own circle of influence.
Blessings...Susan
Dear Difference Maker,
September is National Suicide Prevention Month and I'm writing you today to share a true story about how a very simple and heartfelt Acknowledgment Ceremony caused the actions of one teacher dramatically altered the life of a business man and his 14-year old son.
This short movie has been viewed millions of times. I have watched this movie well over 50 times and every time I do, I still get hit in the gut with a sense of urgency when I see the gun in the father's hands, to reach more and more people. If you have already seen it, I invite you to watch it again and then reach out to whoever comes to mind who could use a word of encouragement from you.
We welcome you to use this movie and Acknowledgment Ceremony in whatever ways will be of greatest service to your community. It is our hope that this movie positively impact as many lives as possible - please turn on your speakers and "take 5" to watch this movie!

How often do we see news reports focusing on the problems with young people or feeding the stereotypes of race, gender, color, ethnicity, class, etc.
My passionate commitment is to share stories, successes, and inspirational moments that will assist in dispelling the media messages, the stereotypes, and the prejudicial thinking that have greatly contributed to the divisiveness that we experience and see daily.
May we all find those messages that uplift us, boost our spirits, and create exciting and passionate ways for us to celebrate one another and to come together in creating a society that is blessed by the resources and gifts of its people!
Blessings...

In 1992 at the Barcelona Summer Olympics, Derek Redmond displayed an example of courage and perseverance when faced with a challenge, trauma, or pain in front of a crowd of 65,000 spectators. He was also assisted by his father who ran onto the track to give him support.
This video imparts one with many messages. I leave you to find those meant for you!
