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, there is nothing other than Truth. Therefore Truth is otherless. Therefore Truth is one. Therefore Truth is whole. Therefore Truth is infinite. Therefore Truth is limitless. I think thereforeI am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth. Since I, being, am Truth therefore I am otherless, one, whole, infinite, limitless. Since I am the ability to think and since I am Truth, therefore Truth is the ability to think (Consciousness).
2) The Israel/Palestine dispute is too difficult to resolve.
Word-tracking:
country: comes from contra, as one country opposed to another
dispute: argument over claims
claim: to maintain as true
3) Truth being one, there are no contras/countries in Truth. Therefore Truth is one country (or there are no countries at all).
Truth being one, there can’t be many different claims about what is true. Therefore Truth is one claimer and one claim. Truth being one claimer and one claim, there is no dispute in Israel/Palestine or anywhere else.
4) Truth is one country (or there are no countries at all).
Truth is one claimer and one claim.
There is no dispute in Israel/Palestine or anywhere else.
5) There is no disputing that Truth is the only land any of us can claim.
