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 complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore synchronistic. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth. Since I am Truth, therefore I am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, synchronistic. I being Mind and I being Truth therefore Truth is mind.
2) Injured bones take a long time to heal.
Word-tracking:
injury: a wrong, impair, to make worse
bones: bonfire, skeleton, structure, tpile up, construct
time: tide, regularity, predictability
heal: whole, cure, to set right
good: suitable
3) Truth being whole there is nothing in Truth which requires healing, therefore the wholeness of Truth is a given. Truth being all that is and wholeness being a given, nothing can be built outside of the structure of Truth, therefore the constructs (structures/ bones) of Truth are whole, sound and perfect. Truth being all, there can be no limit to all, therefore Truth is infinite. Since reality seems to be composed of time and space, therefore in Truth time and space is infinite. Since Truth is all and the nature of truth is right, therefore proper, therefore appropriate, therefore suitable, therefore good, therefore the nature of Truth is good. Since the nature of Truth is good, there is no injury to heal. Since Truth is Consciousness and since the nature of Truth is good, therefore the nature of Truth is sound of mind and body (since body is a manifestation of mind).
4) The wholeness of Truth is a given.
The constructs (structures/ bones) of Truth are whole, sound and perfect.
Truth is infinite.
In Truth time and space is infinite.
The nature of Truth is good.
The nature of Truth is sound of mind and body (since body is a manifestation of mind).
5) The wholeness of Consciousness is a given as is the wholeness of Its Body.
