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.  Truth being true is therefore correct, therefore right, therefore lawful, therefore perfect.  I think therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I, being, am Truth.  Since I am Truth, therefore I have all the attributes of Truth,  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, true, correct, right, lawful, perfect.  Since I am mind/consciousness and since I, being, am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.

2)    Trauma is an affliction of the powerless.

Word-tracking:
trauma:  wound, mental shock, to pierce, to penetrate
penetrate:  interior
affliction:  to strike down, to suffer adversity, to be in opposition to
powerless:  lacking effectiveness
effective:  producing a result
result:  to leap back, to rise again
power:  the ability to do, act, potent
potent:  the ability to be

3)    Truth being Mind/Consciousness and Truth being all, therefore Truth is all-knowing,  Since Truth is all knowing, Truth cannot be shocked. Truth being one, therefore is indivisible.  Truth being indivisible cannot have both an inner and an outer existence. Therefore Truth is impenetrable, unafflicted.  Truth being whole, complete and perfect, there is no doing or action which can add to or take away from Truth, therefore Truth is “the finished Kingdom,” no assembly required.  Truth being all that is, therefore only Truth has the ability to be, therefore only truth is power.

4)    Truth is all-knowing, 
     Truth cannot be shocked.
       Truth is impenetrable, unafflicted. 
       Truth is “the finished Kingdom,” no assembly required.
       Only truth is power.

5)    Truth is unafflicted, unshockable, infinite power, no assembly required.
