Christ's 23 "Meat" Level Principles of True Christianity: Book 1 of the Trilogy: Spiritual Mechanics 501

By Joe Zug

If you have been listening to your inner-voice, you have probably avoided traditional religion, left it or are currently considering such? If so, then this book was written for you. It explains the Real God’s uncorrupted plan for mankind which is totally positive, totally progressive, purposeful, principles-based, Cosmically comprehensive, completely compassionate and harmoniously integrated with no internal inconsistencies!
You will find explanations herein that correlate Earth’s physical phenomenon with Cosmic Spiritual laws (quantum physics). Also revealed are Christ’s higher, “Tree of Life” doctrines that supersede the traditional focus, by Christians, Jews and Muslims, on the lower level doctrines of the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” The scriptures of those three religions contain the same Garden of Eden story that cites these two metaphorical trees. Jesus Christ intended to switch mankind’s attention to the “Tree of Life” principles.
He also attempted to “teach us how to fish” rather than to “give us a fish.” Tradition says he came to “give us salvation” yet that would literally put mankind in the category of “being on the dole” -- something current, inconsistent “Christians” seem to loathe. Spiritual maturity is the result of our personally practicing the higher, “meat” level principles that Jesus Christ taught and modeled. Thereby, we qualify for God’s gracious endowment of Ascension into Heaven.

_____________________________

Spiritual Mechanics 501 is dedicated to

the increasing number of people

who have ears to hear and have already been listening

to the still, small voice

whispering to them from the depths of their own soul.

To have listened and responded positively to that

positive voice of truth and sanity

is both very courageous and uncommon

in this world, wherein

Too many people tend to be too satisfied too soon with too little.

These mortals, especially if not religiously inclined,

are indeed, valiant souls

as observed by All-That-Is from the realm of Spirit.

Whether they are currently conscious of it or not,

those souls have, in the space between this lifetime and our previous one,

requested that this book be written for our mutual benefit.

Their various forms of support have inspired and nourished my soul.

Our mutual agreement is our bond and

I honor it by publishing this book.

I equally honor those who continue to reside in the Spiritual realm

who have chosen and supported me to be the one

through whom this trilogy would be delivered.

I am profoundly honored to have had the high privilege

of playing in this very significant, Spiritual sandbox.

Words fail my overwhelmed soul

as I consider all the various supports to me and my role

as the privileged link between

these two, Cosmically committed groups of

Spirituality-Minded Souls.

The Author

Preface

_____________________________

Hi, I’m Joe Zug. I have unusual access to some highly relevant information about the Real God’s plan for the continuing Eternal Progression for all conscious beings. As cited in the dedication, I’m inwardly impelled by those on the other side of the veil of forgetfulness to share this profound information with a prepared group of people. If you continue to read this trilogy, you are among those who are loyal listeners to the still, small voice that speaks to you as an inner knowing about the Real God’s Truth.

Loyal listeners to that convincing voice are in one of the following three groups of open-minded, Truth-seeking souls. Please notice which group fits your experience.

Group One has avoided almost all involvement with organized religion because your inner-voice has convinced you that it just doesn’t resonate with you as being what your God wants — the Real God with whom you already, inwardly identify.

Group Two has had much more association with traditional religion and has since abandoned it. It has become clear that some un-Christ-like behaviors prevail in its doctrines and practices at all levels. Some examples are the inordinate, negative focus on sin, judgment, guilt and punishment plus internal conflict between some of its scripture-based doctrines as well as within and between some of its churches. Your inner-voice won’t allow you to comfortably live in conflict with your conscience.

Group Three is still involved at some level with meetings and prescribed practices but your heart is just not fully satisfied due to some of the reasons cited above. Subtly controlled by a fear of God, habit, social pressure and the natural need for inclusion in a group of somewhat compatible people, you have continued your involvement.

If you identify, at some level, with any of these groups, then the Real God, through your inner-voice, has been inviting you to more fully connect yourself with Spirituality. Please be clear — this trilogy is not after your money and not inviting you to join some new religion. The intention is to simply share the Real God’s original plan for mankind’s Eternal Progression and your final return Home as an Ascended Soul. The Real God has endowed each human with the power of Choice. You are both free and responsible for which direction and how fast you choose to go. As a progressed soul, go direct, you don’t need a middleman — Ye are gods. (John 10:34; Psalms 82:6)

This trilogy is offered to enable genuine truth-seekers to, at least, fill in some of the blanks in your personal quest for a more complete understanding of and relationship to the Real God. As you will discover in your study of Spiritual Mechanics 501, the personal practice of the Real God’s Principles will also lead to our co-creating a society of Oneness on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Physical world, mechanical laws are a planned, parallel function to the Spiritual world mechanical laws as cited in examples throughout this trilogy. These Spiritual Principles mechanically operate as the Spiritual, input behaviors that automatically produce the output of a new heart and new mind within the souls of those who practice them.

The Real God, originated a thoroughly planned purpose well before the beginning. That purposeful plan involves profound Principles, that when practiced, gradually prepare souls to progress along a path that eventually leads all to an elevated destination, as in a spiral staircase. The intriguing details will unfold as you continue your study of Spiritual Mechanics 501. This is what open-minded, inquiring souls have been seeking!

P.S. Keep your scriptures handy. You will benefit tremendously more if you validate the cited references using your own scriptures.

Spiritual Mechanics 501

_____________________________

This trilogy is like a Graduate Course textbook.

It presents the Divine Creator’s higher doctrine Principles

that govern throughout the all-inclusive

Cosmos or ordered Universe.

Uni-verse means turned into one.

God’s intended continuity of Cosmic Oneness

demonstrates God’s infinite and eternal Purpose.

This trilogy is a cosmology or study of

the Divine Creator’s philosophy that governs

the origin, structure and purpose of the Universe.

This comprehensive presentation is about

the Divine Creator’s Purposes, Principles, Processes and Practices

that support the original, Positive Plan

for the Eternal Progression

of All-That-Is.

Again, God’s intended continuity of Eternal Progression

demonstrates God’s infinite and eternal Purpose.

The Divine Creator revealed, in the

scriptures of the various religions,

those Positive Purposes and the Positive Principles

that enable their fulfillment.

For the most part, the trusted Scriptures of the Bible

will be cited throughout this trilogy

as validations of these Positive,

refreshing explanations of

the Divine Creator’s Positive, higher doctrines.

They were originally offered

to support souls who are intent upon

pursuing the path of Eternal Progression and

returning to the Heavenly, Spiritual environment of

ONENESS.

This trilogy, Spiritual Mechanics 501, is different. It is written to and for people who are different. By different I mean non-traditional. These materials transcend that which is traditional in Christianity and offer inspiring insights and positive encouragement to those souls who are committed to a very progressive path toward Oneness with Jesus, a Christ, and God.

In this publication the author is confronted with an issue somewhat similar to the one in the mathematical, simultaneous equation wherein more than one unknown is involved. In such cases, one unknown cannot be explained without using one or more other unknowns. To solve this literary problem, the author encourages you to please examine the glossary, at the end of this book, before you continue as well as before reading Book 2 and again before reading Book 3 because some terms are found in one or two books but not in the others.

By understanding special terms up front, confusion will be minimized and understanding will be improved. The author’s repeated references to various terms throughout the book will also enhance learning. So does repeatedly citing a term in relationship to several other terms to which it naturally relates.

Due to my career as an educator, I use an unorthodox technique of capitalizing, italicizing, underlining, bolding, using quotation marks and centered-positioning of some words, terms, phrases and paragraphs in order to emphasize them for the readers’ benefit. I consider these to be tools for teaching. They are intended to promote understanding and prevent the reader’s missing or misunderstanding the message.

Even though other terms for Deity are increasingly popular, the traditional term God will be used throughout in spite of the tainted and negative reputation of the God of the Old Testament. Also, the term He or he will sometimes be used to signify the gender of God and Christ to avoid the awkwardness of other less conventional terms.

Due to my previous affiliation with the Mormon church, I will share some references from original publications by Joseph Smith, The Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants (D&C), to enhance my more frequent references to the King James version of Bible scriptures. My devotion is to Truth that resonates, irrespective of where I find it.

Remember that significantly contrasting ideas will be presented that may challenge the milk level conditioning of those familiar with traditional Christianity. There is a natural, human tendency to resist or not be open to contrasting ideas. The Jewish community had that same reaction to Jesus’ original presentation of these meat level, Spiritual Principles. It will be helpful to you as you proceed to think about why you are reading this book. Is it because you are generally curious? Because you are interested in alternatives? Because you are seriously interested in Truth? Because you are seriously interested in discovering and doing what you came here as a mortal to be and to do?

Do you earnestly desire to progress to

the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ?

(Ephesians 4:13)

At the time of this trilogy’s publication, the Earth is in a tremendous state of turmoil. Disruptions to normalcy are being experienced on all levels in almost all arenas. What’s happening? Why? Is this just people acting out because of selfishness, egos out of control, overpopulation, God’s wrath in the form of weather and earthquakes? What’s this turmoil really all about? Is all of this just part of God’s Planned Shift? (GPS)

Spiritual Mechanics 501 is coming to you as a result of the author’s practice of considering things from a Cosmic Perspective. The intention is to avoid becoming bogged down by conflicting, historical pronouncements by external, mortal, authority figures (the arm of flesh).

From a Cosmic Perspective we become more able to identify God’s original purposes, the plans involved, their time-tables and our participation as individual souls in the unfolding of it all. That is the intended purpose of this publication — to identify God’s Cosmic, Eternal Purposes in order to inspire and enable individual souls to participate more fully in their own mortal experiences through aligning their purposes with God’s purposes. This contrasts with blind obedience to those who are also blind. Such blindness is the result of not believing the pure and higher doctrine or meat level Spiritual Principles that were originally shared by Jesus Christ. Many are still in the scriptures.

This trilogy could have been entitled, The Sin of Unbelief. Sin means missing the mark. The mark, in this comprehensive case, is the meat level understanding of the pure and profound, Spiritual Principles that Jesus Christ taught and modeled. To show up in order to be taught by the arm of flesh, is a milk level approach to God’s intentions for mankind. The blind and those to whom they teach blindness are not believing the powerful, meat level Spiritual Principles that were intended to be responsibly used by mankind to proactively proceed toward God’s intended destiny for all souls — Oneness that leads to Peace on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Too many people are too satisfied too soon with too little.

(This too-by-4-block prevents progress.)

The intention throughout this trilogy is to attempt to walk the sometimes fine line between what is and what could be without making what is appear as bad or evil. At the same time a profound loyalty to Truth and nothing but the Truth must be maintained throughout the necessary comparisons. (Milk has been God’s intended, natural diet before meat is introduced to a Spiritually maturing soul. I Corinthians 3:2)

It is acknowledged here that every personal experience is but one event within the current, mortal lifetime of one engaged with the Cosmic Principle of Eternal Progression. In reality, …all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. (D&C 122:7) In Cosmic context everything is a blessing! For God to be the Real God, every aspect of God’s plan has to be positive. None of it can include a focus on negatives such as sin, hell, punishment and estrangement from God forever! In this context, comparisons and contrasts must still be made in order to choose the better in the process of our soul’s Eternal Progression. To progress, a soul must continually make informed choices. Personal Choice is one of God’s prime, Spiritual Principles. This trilogy is an offering of informative insights intended to support souls as they proceed along their chosen path toward Christ’s/God’s Prime Directive: Oneness — the title of Book 2.

These books are intended to be thought-

provoking rather than thick.

They are intended to be studied multiple times

for personal Spiritual Transformation

rather than read once

for information, curiosity, entertainment or fault-finding.

Depending upon the Spiritual nature of the reader,

these books will be exciting and Spiritually stimulating or

they might seem like blasphemy.

They present the same principles found in traditional Christianity

but at their meat level rather than their milk level.

Meat level is a comparative term

that means higher doctrine.

While a great deal of good has been done throughout the ages in the name of traditional religion, there is so very much more yet to be accomplished. Christ’s Higher Doctrine Principles are essential to this task which results in God’s Planned Shift (GPS) to Oneness on Earth as it is in Heaven.

There is no intention in these books to

make anything wrong or bad —

only to offer a more profound, positive and purpose-driven insight

into the Spiritual Principles that Jesus Christ

originally taught and modeled.

The original intent of those meat level principles was and still is

to enable human souls to take personal responsibility for

their own Spiritual Progress.

The Real mission of Jesus Christ was

to teach mankind how to fish

rather than

to give mankind a fish.

In assuming that responsibility as fishing souls, we must —

Be ye therefore perfect or Christed.

Jesus of Nazareth became Christed or

Spiritually anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power.

(Acts 10:38)

So too, may we become Christed and qualify to become

joint heirs (equal heirs) with Jesus, a Christed Soul.

(Romans 8:17)

We, thereby, progress to

the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

(Ephesians 4:13)

This trilogy was written with you in mind — that is, if you have been listening to a still, small voice coming from inside your own being and it has been saying, there is much, much more Spiritual Truth available and all of it just has to be positive! I believe that you are also sensing that there is a Real God, one that is different than the one popularly worshipped. Yes, the Real God is totally positive! This trilogy is designed for those who have eyes that see and ears that hear this inner-voice that promotes Truth.

There is something within you that will not allow you to fully embrace organized religion even though you may have participated in it or that something may have prompted you to avoid religion entirely. Even with these guiding thoughts, you have remained Spiritually inclined. More and more people are identifying themselves with the phrase, I’m spiritual rather than religious. Being Spiritual has to do with having actual, personal experiences with the other side rather than just information and encouragement regarding it.

If you identify with these feelings or if you are highly curious about them, then perhaps this trilogy will resonate with your soul. To resonate is to recognize and respond to a subtle, yet familiar vibrational frequency that stimulates your soul and attracts you to it.

Your statement, I told you so, even if you only told yourself, will be validated many times throughout these three books. As the author, I want you to know that your stalwart courage to formulate and hold fast to your inner promptings has caused many angels in Heaven to figuratively do cartwheels when they witness what is going on inside your heart and mind. While parts of your world may have kicked you to the curb, the company of Heaven celebrates your loyalty to and continuing quest for Truth. That inner feeling that has guided you, in sometimes quite challenging situations, is more powerful and more valuable than you may have previously thought. You will find in these pages that I have understood who you are as a valiant soul and I applaud your courage and loyalty to Truth — even Truth that you have yet to clearly identify.

The author’s intention is to let you know that you are not alone and that you can respond to your own, inspiring, inner promptings and begin to personally discover more and more that is Real and True. The hoax — you have been told that you are carnal, sensual and devilish, dependent, inferior and unworthy. The opposite of that is the Real Truth — Jesus said, Ye are gods. (John 10:34; Psalms 82:6)

This trilogy will provide you with numerous scriptures that are seldom mentioned at church or you heard a weaker explanation being given regarding their value and purpose. Specific scriptures will be offered in order to confirm that there is a meat level or higher doctrine explanation for some essential truths about God’s plan for our souls. They have been hidden in plain sight right there in the trusted scriptures of traditional Christianity. Although, as readers of this trilogy, you may or may not be familiar with the Bible, it will nonetheless be used to validate these profound explanations. These ideas and their explanations are not made up — they can be verified by traditionally trusted sources.

While much new age spirituality does not reference the Bible and its principles, I sense a need to bridge the believed gap between those two cultures. My background, in this lifetime, at the very least, has prepared me to contribute to the awareness that these two ways of believing are not that far apart. They are far more compatible than is usually believed. It is for this reason that I offer specific scriptures to the community of Bible believers in order to reveal the universality of some of the tenets of the new age believers. After all, isn’t the inclusiveness of Oneness the objective of both?

Although this presentation is based in the scriptures of the Christian religion, it is not intended to negate or diminish the same realities that are also described in other religions / cultures using other terms and phrasing. There is only one God, one Plan and
