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 a finished product. 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, a finished product. Since I, being, am Mind and since I, being, am Truth, therefore Mind is Truth OR Truth is Mind.
2) Getting a better job can be galling and frustrating.
Word-tracking:
get: to find, discover
job: work, organ, position, cog
galling: impudence, shameless
frustrating: blocking, to deceive, fraud
3) Truth being all that is, there can be nothin other than Truth, therefore Truth is one. Truth being One, is therefore one functioning, one working. Truth being one working, does not isolate itself into one position among infinite positions, therefore Truth is every place, every position. Truth being Mind and Truth being all, therefore Truth is All-knowing. Since Truth is All-knowing, it cannot be all-knowing and lack the ability to find something. Therefore Truth is All-knowing, All-uncovered, All-discovered. Truth being whole, complete and perfect (without flaw), there is no shame in Truth, nothing to be ashamed of in Truth, therefore Truth is shameless. Truth being All-knowing does not deceive Itself or block Itself, therefore Truth is unrepressed Truthfulness.
4) Truth is one.
Truth is one functioning, one working.
Truth is every place, every position.
Truth is All-knowing.
Truth is All-knowing, All-uncovered, All-discovered.
Truth is shameless.
Truth is unrepressed Truthfuln
5) Truth is one, shameless, naked expression of Truthfulness.
