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. It is a sort of prayer. It is a salute to the answer already arrived.”
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 total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore perfect. 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, complete, perfect. 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 total, whole, complete, perfect.
2) One way to overcome memories of humiliation is through grandiose fantasies.
Word-tracking:
memory: remember, keep in mind
humiliate: to take away self-esteem, pride, dignity, humble, lowly, of the earth
dignity: decency
decency: fitting, appropriate, proper, right, true
pride: proud, prowess, brave, valiant, value, valid
fantasy: unreal, untrue
grandiose: pretentious, to stretch the truth
3) Truth being all that is has no limit, is therefore infinite. Infinity cannot be stretched. Therefore there is no pretentiousness, no pretense, no pretending, no fantasy in Truth. Therefore Truth is not grandiose. Truth being true, therefore valid, therefore of value, worth, pride, therefore validity (Truth) is its own reward. Truth being valid cannot be made invalid, worthless, humiliated. therefore Truth can only reveal its infinite validity, its infinite worth, its infinite value. Truth being Mind and Truth being all that is, therefore Mind is all that is. Mind being all that is, nothing can be kept out of mind or forgotten, therefore Mind remembers everything.
4) Truth is not grandiose.
Validity (Truth) is its own reward.
Truth can only reveal its infinite validity, its infinite worth, its infinite value.
Mind remembers everything.
5) Validity is value.
