Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what seems to be truth with what you can syllogistically, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) prove is the truth. It is not an effort to change, alter or heal anything.
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 that is is therefore all that exists, all that occurs, all that takes place, all that happens, therefore happy. 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 all that exists, all that occurs, all that takes place, all that happens, therefore happy. Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things being equal to a third thing are equal to each other.) Since Truth is Mind, therefore Mind has all the attributes of Truth. Therefore Mind is all that exists, all that occurs, all that takes place, all that happens, therefore happy.
2) Sometimes your life depends on keeping a secret, even from yourself.
Word-tracking:
life: body, live, to be alive, remain, afire, passionate (etymology: fat)
secret: to conceal, to hide, to separate,
yourself: that person over there.
3) Truth being all that is is therefore all that exists, all that lives, moves and has being. Therefore Truth is Life. Truth being all is therefore without limits. Since Truth is LIfe, therefore Life is without limits. Therefore Life is eternal. Life (Truth) being all that is, there is nothing other than Life (Truth) to depend upon, therefore Life (Truth) is independent. Since Truth is one Mind and since Truth is all, therefore Mind is all. Since Mind is all, therefore knowing is all. Since knowing is all, and since there is nothing other than all, therefore knowing is one. Since knowing is one, it cannot at the same time be separate from or secret or hidden or concealed form Itself, knowing is inseparable. Truth being all that is, there is nothing other than Truth, therefore Truth is one. Truth being one, there is no you (that person over there), therefore there is only the universal I person here, now and always.
4) Truth is Life.
Life is eternal.
Life (Truth) is independent.
Mind is all.
Knowing is all.
Knowing is one
Knowing is inseparable.
Truth is one.
There is only the universal I person here, now and always.
5) The Universal I is the inseparable union of Life knowing Itself eternally.
