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.
Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all there is. Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore all present and accounted for, therefore all welcome, therefore all-accepted, therefore all-accepting. 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, complete, all present and accounted for, all -welcome, all-accepting, all-accepted. Since I, being, am Truth and since I am Mind, therefore Truth is Mind.
2) I want to live in a different place where I can feel safe and rooted.
Word-tracking:
different: differ, defer, delay, other
place: city square, platypus, plaza, gathering place
gathering: to harvest
safe: not dangerous, sure to be successful, dependable, deliverance
roots: a feeling of belonging
belong: to be somebody’s property
property: proper, right, true
3) Truth being all that is, there is nothing other than Truth, therefore there is no time and place other than here and now. Truth being one cannot at the same time be many gathering, therefore wherever two or more are gathered in my name, One is the only presence. OR Oneness is the only gathering OR Oneness is the only harvest. Truth being Oneness, cannot at the same time be vulnerable to harm or diminishment, therefore Fullness of being is the only possibility. Since Truth is Oneness, there is nobody other than Truth be belong to, to be the property of, therefore Truth belongs to Itself or Truth is the property of Truth.

5) I am safe and sound in the holy presence of My One True Self.
