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 that is is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore integral.  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 am all the attributes of Truth.  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, integral.  I, being mind/consciousness and I, being Truth, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.

2)    Survivor guilt means that if you have fun you’ll have to pay for it.

Word-tracking:
survive:  to remain alive, to go on living, to live thru something
guilt:  wrong doing, sin, to miss the mark
fun:  folly, fool, play, let loose, cut loose, frolic, nimble, agile, to move, to do
payment:  pain, to compensate, quid pro quo, this for that

3)    Truth being all, there is nothing other than truth.  Since there is nothing other than Truth, therefore Truth does not depend on  anything,  Since Truth does not depend on anything, there is no compensation in Truth.  There is no quid pro quo in Truth.  There is no tit for tat, not this for that in Truth.There is only this.  Truth being all that is and all being without limit, therefore Truth is, by definition, all let loose. Truth being that which is true, therefore right, therefore correct, cannot at the same time be that which is wrong. Therefore Truth is all right-being/right-doing.  Since Truth is all right-being/right-doing, there is no sin (missing the mark)  Since there is no sin, there is no guilt.  Truth being all that is is therefore limitless being, therefore Truth always survives and never leaves anything behind.

4)     There is nothing other than truth 
       Truth does not depend on  anything,
        There is no compensation in Truth.  There is no quid pro quo in Truth.  There is no tit for tat, not this for that in Truth.
        There is only this.  
        Truth is, by definition, all let loose.
        Truth is all right-being/right-doing.
        There is no sin (missing the mark) 
        There is no guilt.
        Truth always survives and never leaves anything behind.

5)    Truth never leaves anything behind.
