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 full, therefore fulfilled, therefore rewarded, therefore rewarding. 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 whole, complete, full, fulfilled, rewarded, rewarding. Since I am Consciousness and I am Truth, therefore Truth is Consciousness.
2) Parents can castrate their children emotionally OR children can allow themselves to be emotionally castrated by their parents.
Word-tracking:
parents: creators, to birth, to start something that wasn’t there before
child: creation, baby, infant, not speaking, barbarian, birth, berth, to carry
castrate: eunuch, to cut off, to weaken, to make more docile, to take away power, strength, to cut off, to disinherit
power: ability to be
3) Truth being all that is is therefore without limit, infinite. Can anything new be brought into infinite being? No. Therefore, in Truth, there are no parents. Since there are no parents/creators in Truth, there can be no creations/children in Truth. Therefore there is no creation, only unveiling of what is already there. Truth being whole, cannot be cut off from Itself, be made more docile, or disinherited. Therefore truth is the manifestation of Infinite power, the ability to be OR Truth can’t be disinherited from its infinite power, ability to be.
4) Truth is without limit, infinite.
There are no parents.
There is no creation, only unveiling of what is already there.
Truth is the manifestation of Infinite power, the ability to be.
Truth can’t be disinherited from its infinite power, ability to be.
5) Truth is the unveiling of the permanent.
