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 one, 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, have all the attributes of Truth.  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, one, united, harmonious.  Since I am Truth and since I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind.  (Two things being equal the same thing are equal to each other.)

2)    Some people are not as smart as they think they are. 

Word-tracking:
some:  less than all
people:  mortal
smart:  a tingling local pain, tidy, clever, insolent, witty, keen, shrewd, calculating, fashionable, stinging, clever, intelligent, superior
intelligent:  legend, assembly, collection, to choose between, to understand, to know, to make the right choice

3)    Truth being one and Truth being Mind, therefore Truth is one Mind.  Truth being one mind is therefore one intelligence.  Intelligence being the ability to make the right choice implies several options.  But Truth being all that is is really the only option.  Therefore Intelligence itself is overrated.  Therefore Truth is not intelligence, Truth is knowing.  Truth being all is therefore without limit.  Therefore Truth is immortal.  Truth being all, and “some”  being less than all, therefore there is no “some” in Truth.  Truth being one cannot be divided between inferior and superior, God and man, man and woman, intelligent and emotional.  Therefore Truth is indivisible equality, indivisible divinity, indivisible androgyny, and indivisible knowing.

4)    Truth is one Mind.  
       Truth is one intelligence. 
        Therefore Intelligence itself is overrated.
        Truth is not intelligence, Truth is knowing.  
        Truth is immortal.  
        There is no “some” in Truth. 
        Truth is indivisible equality, indivisible divinity, indivisible androgyny, and indivisible knowing.

5)    Truth is non-exclusive worth.
