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, whole, one, otherless, united, harmonious, mutual. 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, being, am total, whole, one, otherless, united, harmonious, mutual. Since I am Truth and I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind.
2) Sometimes those in power don’t know when it’s time to step down and let someone else have a turn.
Word-tracking:
power: potent, the ability to be
mutual: exchange, reciprocal, a number or quantity when multiplied by another number number equals one
turn: chance, opportunity or right to do something
opportunity: coming towards port, opportune
know: can, able, have, hold, possess, own
3) Truth being all that is, there can be nothing other than Truth, therefore Truth is otherless OR Truth is one. Truth being one, all share in the mutuality of Truth. Since all share in the mutuality of Truth, therefore all share in the power of Truth, the ability to be of Truth. Therefore one does not step up or down from the power of Truth, One is always on the throne of Truth. Therefore One always has the right, the opportunity to come towards the port of Truth. Truth being Mind or Knowing, and Truth being all, therefore Truth is all-knowing, all ability, all having, all holding, all possessing, all owning.
4) Truth is otherless OR Truth is one
All share in the mutuality of Truth.
All share in the power of Truth, the ability to be of Truth.
One is always on the throne of Truth.
One always has the right, the opportunity to come towards the port of Truth.
Truth is all-knowing, all ability, all having, all holding, all possessing, all owning.
5) One always has the right, the opportunity, to mount the throne of Truth, being all-knowing, all ability, all having, all holding, all possessing, all ability.
