Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what you think is the truth with what you can syllogistically and axiomatically prove is the truth.

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 complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly. Truth being true is therefore right, therefore correct, therefore proper, therefore appropriate, I think therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I, being, am Truth.  Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, have all the attributes of Truth.  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly, right, correct, proper, appropriate.  Since I, being, am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.

2)    Life proceeds from birth to infancy, to adolescence to maturity to senility to death.

Word-tracking:
life:  live, to exist, to be
birth:  begininfancy:  without speech
adolescence:  not fully grown
mature:  ripe, timely appropriate time
senility:  old, forgetful, confused
death:  end, termination

3)    Truth being all that is is therefore all that lives.  Truth being all and there being no limits to all, therefore Truth is birthless and deathless.  Truth being Living, therefore Living is birthless and deathless.  Truth being all that is,  is not something that grows or becomes ’cause that would imply that at one time it wasn’t there or may not be there later, therefore Truth is not an appearance which comes and goes.  Truth/Living is the reality which underlies appearance.  So Truth does not have a birth, does not have an infancy does not have an adolescence, or a full maturity which leads to senility and death.  Therefore the full maturity of Truth is an ever-present Living, ripe to the touch, inexhaustible and real.

4)   Truth is all that lives.  
Truth is birthelss and deathless.
        Living is birthless and deathless.
        Truth is not an appearance which comes and goes. Truth/Living is the reality which underlies appearance.
        The full maturity of Truth is an ever-present Living, ripe to the touch, inexhaustible and real.

5)    Truth is ever-present Living, ripe to the touch, inexhaustible, real and eternal.
