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, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) 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 one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly  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, one, united, harmonious, orderly.  Since I, being, am Truth and since i, being, am mind. therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.  (Two things being equal to a third thing, are equal to each other.)

2)    The excitement of war is more fun than the hard work of self-observation.

Word-tracking:
excitement:  to set in motion
war:  strife, confusion, to mix up, confuse, diffuse
work:  drudgery, exhausting, boring, strenuous
self:  personality, characteristics, attributes, traits
observation:  seeing, perceiving, watch, awake, aware
fun:  to fool, to be a fool, to be an empty-headed person
play:  to leap for joy, to dance

3)    Truth being mind/consciousness and Truth being all that is,  therefore Truth is all-knowing, all-aware, all-observant, all-awake.  Truth being one, there can be no other self than Truth. therefore Truth is the only Self.  Truth being the only Self and Truth observing all, therefore all that Truth can observe is Itself.  Truth being one, united, harmonious, cannot also be confused, mixed up, at war with Itself, therefore Truth is certain peace.  Truth being all that is is therefore all that be’s, all that exists, all that lives, all that moves.  Therefore Truth doesn’t have to be excited into motion, Truth is perpetual motion.  And Truth being harmonious, therefore Truth is harmonious perpetual  motion.  Since Truth is harmonious perpetual motioin, it cannot at the same time be boring, exhausting or strenuous, therefore the harmonious movement of Truth is always a dance of joy.

4)    Truth is all-knowing, all-aware, all-observant, all-awake. 
        Truth is the only Self. 
        All that Truth can observe is Itself. 
        Truth is certain peace. 
        Truth is perpetual motion.
        Truth is harmonious perpetual  motion. 
        The harmonious movement of Truth is always a dance of joy.

5)    Truth is harmonious, playful, perpetual motion, the eternal dance of joy..
