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, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) 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 otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly. i think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I, being, am Truth. Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly. Since I, being, am Truth and since I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness. (Two things being equal to a third thing are equal to each other.)
2) Making your own decisions is sometimes opposed by others who would like to control you.
Word-tracking:
decide: to cut off, cut through a problem
problem: something thrown in front of you. obstacle
obstacle: something placed or standing against you
oppose: to place or put against
against: opposite direction
control: have power over
humiliate: disempower
3) Truth being all that is, there can be no power or force in the Universe other than Truth, therefore Truth is the only power. Truth being the only power is therefore the only authority. Therefore Truth is the sole power anybody is answerable to. Truth being the sole authority, is therefore the sole director. Since Truth is the sole director, therefore Truth is the sole direction. Truth being sole, there are no choices or decisions to be made, therefore Truth is the only choice. Since there are no choices in Truth, there is no fork in the road in Truth, therefore the road of Truth is undivided. Truth being one, there is nothing other to stand against Truth or try to control Truth or try to humiliate Truth, therefore Truth is unencumbered, unopposed, unoppressed, unoccupied, answerable only to Itself.
