Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract.” The first step is an ontological statement of being beginning with the syllogism: “Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all there is.” The second step is the sense testimony (what the senses tell us about anything). The third step is the argument between the absolute abstract nature of truth from the first step and the relative specific truth of experience from the second step. The fourth step is filtering out the conclusions you have arrived at in the third step. The fifth step is your overall conclusion.
The claims in a Translation may seem outrageous, but they are always (or should always) be based on self-evident syllogistic reasoning. Here is one Translation from this week.
1) Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all that is. Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore healthy, therefore proper functioning, therefore righteous. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth. Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, am total, whole, healthy, proper functioning, righteous. Since I, being, am Mind and since I, being, am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind
2) It’s exasperating trying to reason with irrational people.
Word-tracking:
rational: to count, to ration, to think, ratio
ratio: a large percentage of negative replies to online posts.
comprehend: to grasp, to seize, to imprison
exasperate: rough, difficult, not facile, not fact
people: thinkers
3) Truth being Consciousness and Truth being all that is, therefore Consciousness is all that is. People being the ability to create and govern thought and Consciousness being Truth, therefore people, as an expression of Consciousness, can only create and govern Truth. Since people can only create and govern Truth, there are no irrational people, therefore rationality is an attribute of Consciousness/Truth. Rationality being an aspect of Consciousness/Truth, there can be no difficulty dealing with irrational people, ’cause there aren’t any. Therefore Truth reasons easily with Itself in an effortless and comprehensible way.
4) Consciousness is all that is.
People, as an expression of Consciousness, can only create and govern Truth.
Rationality is an attribute of Consciousness/Truth.
Truth reasons easily with Itself in an effortless and comprehensible way.
5) Truth creates and governs effortless and comprehensible Thought.
