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 complete, therefore whole, therefore one, therefore indivisible, therefore sole, therefore united, therefore harmonious. 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, complete, whole, one, indivisible, sole, united, harmonious. Since I am mind and since I am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).
2) Memories cloud our vision of reality.
Word-tracking:
memory: remember, past event, mindful, witness, to see
cloudy: not clean, not clear, invisible
vision: seeing, knowing
reality: realm, reign, Rex, authority, authorized, legitimate, lawful, right
3) Since Truth is that which is so, therefore Truth is that which happens, that which takes place. To take place is to happen now. Therefore this does not include that which took place in the so-called past or will take place in the so-called future. Therefore the presence of Truth eliminates the possibility of a past or a future. Therefore there are no memories in Truth, only the all-knowing Present. Truth being true is therefore correct, therefore right, and Truth being all, therefore Truth is the only correctness, the only rightness the only reality. Since Truth is the only reality, nothing can be seen other than the Truth. Therefore Truth is the only visibility, the only seen and the only seer. Truth being Consciousness is therefore Knowing and Truth being all there is is therefore All-knowing. So there can be no clouds covering the visibility of Truth or the All-Knowingness of Truth. Thus in Truth it is always a clear day.
