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 is therefore total, therefore complete, therefore whole, therefore sound, therefore sane. 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, complete, whole, sound, sane. Since I am mind (self-evident) adn 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 total, complete, whole, sound, sane.
2) Getting rid of the old to make way for the new can be a painful process.
Word-tracking:
rid: to strip, to clear land, to free from something undesirable.
desire: to want, to cease to see
old: to age, vapid, stale, insipid (not tasty), dull, uninteresting
new: recent, fresh, unfaded
pain: opposition
3) Truth being all is therefore without limit. Being without limit is therefore without beginning or ending. Therefore Truth is ageless. Truth being ageless, cannot be old or new (both implying age), Therefore Truth is always now. Therefore Truth is the eternal now. Truth being whole, complete, nothing can be missing. So to desire something is to cease to see the wholeness of truth. But since Mind is Truth and since Truth is all, therefore Mind is all. Mind, being all, cannot cease to see anything. Therefore Mind sees everying. Truth being all, there is nothing other than Truth, therefore Truth is one. Truth being one, there is no opposition to Truth. Therefore there is no pain.
4) Truth is ageless.
Truth is always now.
Truth is the eternal now.
To desire something is to cease to see the wholeness of truth.
Mind is all.
Mind sees everying.
Truth is one
There is no opposition to Truth.
There is no pain.
5) Ageless Mind is all-knowing, painless and satiated.
