Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what you think is the truth with what you can syllogistically and axiomatically prove is the truth.
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, therefore whole, therefore well. Truth being that which is true is therefore that which is real, that which is actual, that which is correct, that which is right, that which is perfect. i think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth, I being Truth, must have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, well, true, real, actual, correct, right, perfect, Since I am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.
2) Flesh is heir to congestive heart failure, diabetes and bed sores.
Word-tracking:
flesh (and blood); relatives, real people
heir: to inherit from a predecessor
predecessor: one who has departed
congestive heart failure: not able to flow blood out from the heart, too much in, not enough out
heart: compassion, love
diabetes: too much urine
urine; waste, exhaust
bedsores: caused by being confined to bed
3) Truth being true, therefore real, nothing in life can be unreal, therefore we are surrounded by infinite reality. Truth being all, therefore without limit, there is no ending or beginning to Truth. Therefore Truth has no predecessors or inheritors AND there is no departure from Truth. Truth being one, therefore all-inclusive, there is no “in and out” of Truth. Therefore Truth is Self-contained balance, equanimity. Truth being one, love is a given. Truth being complete, therefore full, therefore whole, therefore well, cannot at the same time produce waste. Therefore there is no waste in Truth OR Truth sustains only Itself. Truth being without limits is therefore without confinement. Therefore Truth is always free to go.
