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 otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly, therefore reasonable.  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, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly, reasonable.  I,  being Truth, and I, being Mind, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).

2)    I need to hold back the expression of my power ’cause it might be threatening to my father.

Word-tracking:
father:  patr, pattern, model, measure
hold back:  restrain, to confine, refrain, rein in
other:  second, in addition, different
power:  potent, able to be
threat:  to press in, to crowd, to protrude, to curd (from liquid to solid)

3)    Since the measure of something is its length and depth and breadth, what is the measure of Consciousness?  Of being?  Truth being all that is,  therefore limitless, therefore infinite, cannot be measured.  Therefore Truth is immeasurable.  Therefore the measure of I, being, is also immeasurable. Truth being one cannot also be a crowd, therefore Truth is one harmonious liquid being with infinite room for all.  Since Truth is infinite, and since Truth is all that is, there can be nothing other or different from Truth to hold it back, therefore Truth is unrestrained Oneness being.  Since power or potent is the ability to be and since Truth is all that be’s, therefore Truth is the only power that be’s.  Truth being the only power and Truth being all that is, therefore Truth is omnipotent.  

4)    Truth is immeasurable.
        The measure of I, being, is also immeasurable.
        Truth is one harmonious liquid being with infinite room for all.
        Truth is unrestrained Oneness being.  
        Truth is the only power that be’s. 
        Truth is omnipotent.  

5)    Truth is the unrestrained expression of the immeasurable power of harmonious liquid being.
