Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in te 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 all that is. Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, 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, therefoer I, being have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, one, united, harmonious, orderly. Since I am mind and since I am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things being equal to a third thing are equal to each other.)
2) A cold/flu is the body’s way of expressing grief.
Word-tracking:
cold/flu: viral infection
virus: poison, venom, venereal, Venus, Goddess of Love
body: the entirety of something, like a body of work
grief: satiate (archaic), unhappy
happy: to happen, fortunate
3) Truth being all that is is therefore all that happens. Truth being all that happens and Truth being all that is, Truth cannot unhappen, therefore Truth is always happening. Since that which happens is happy, therefore Truth is always happy. Truth being totality, therefore entirety, and Truth being all that is, therefore limitless, therefore infinite, The only body is the infinite body of Truth. Truth being all that is there can be no expression other than Truth, therefore Truth is the only expression. Since Truth is one, therefore Truth is love. Since Truth is love, and since that which is venomous, venereal, poisonous, grave, burdened is not love, therefore Truth is unburdened love.
4) Truth is all that happens.
Truth is always happening.
Truth is always happy.
The only body is the infinite body of Truth.
Truth is the only expression.
Truth is unburdened love.
5) Truth is an unburdened, happy Body.
