 “Whether you choose to believe you existed before or not, at one point, you each were more spirit than matter and that is what you are returning to.”—Jesus the Christ

At first glance, some of the material in this series of books may appear religious. I assure you, the messages offered are universal and nonreligious; Jesus the Christ does not belong to any religion. The true purpose of these teachings is to anchor light to the world by bringing forth the divine intentions of Jesus’ extraordinary life and to explicate the true meaning behind his messages and to set the record straight. We are shown how God only holds love for His creations and does not need to forgive us because He never judges. Originally, this collaboration and labor of love was much longer; however, due to the volume and deep nature of some of the material, we decided to make MCL the first book in our series. A gentle suggestion is to read several pages then contemplate the messages.

Jesus is the author, as channeled by his messenger, Catherine Julian Dove. While reading, you may experience his loving presence as Jesus recounts highlights of his life, and you will delight in his sense of humor when he divulges such sentiments as, “I was not as popular then as I am now.” This credible, mesmerizing, and personal journey is seen through his eyes when Jesus gives unique insight in to his exemplary, mystical existence as he delves in to the symbology surrounding the events from his infancy to his final hours, while relating the ignominy his beloved Mother Mary and closest friends endured. He shares treasured childhood memories never revealed before, candid descriptions of his matted hair, worn clothing, and overall homeless appearance while traveling the countryside as a young man, quick to remind us there were no showers along the dusty roads back then.

Jesus explains that the dialect he spoke, in some cases, conveyed a different message from current meanings. But why did he speak in parables, and what is the connecting thread sewn through the fabric of all his messages? And exactly how does he account for the so-called missing years?  He talks of his inspiring time as a teacher up against unopened minds and the threat of the procurator Pilate and the Roman soldiers, then onto the last hours before his murder. Jesus discusses the Sacraments, symbols, and rituals that have since become associated with specific religions, but were originally meant for everyone. Why does he say he did NOT die for our sins, he does not wish to be worshiped, and he never claimed to be the only son of God? His answers will forever change your view as Biblical mysteries are unveiled in a clear, practical, non-dogmatic, and authentic format, as ancient teachings are brought in to the reasoning of the modern world. The truth about reincarnation and the afterlife are discussed as are evolutionary theories and details regarding the soul. In this series of books, your spiritual awareness will be heightened by an invitation, a gift, if you will, to explore and access the Christ within and be forever consciously transformed to whatever level you choose.

In MCL Part 2, Jesus introduces guidelines for finding one’s purpose, along with many self-help, conscious-raising techniques as he strings together pearls of wisdom in to a necklace of practical suggestions and concepts. It is your choice to dive as deep in to this knowledge as you like, leaving behind the crashing waves of frustrating unanswered questions and fear-filled limitations for the calming ocean of truth, while you navigate the waters on your voyage to awakening.

Throughout this teaching are terms you may not be familiar with. As often as possible, we define each term as it is introduced, but sometimes this disrupts the flow of a discussion. In these cases, we refer you to a chapter on the topic or the glossary.
