Every once in a while I get the urge for a new beginning. And to me that means a new ;place. So instead of checking Craigslist or Google and running into the same frustrations I usually encounter, I tried something else. I asked myself, Why not Translate what within me wants to move to a new place and why? In other words, why not Translate the subjective sense testimony as well as, or instead of, the objective sense testimony?

Sometimes it’s necessary to Translate the Translator.

Note to Non-Translators

Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract.” The first step is an ontological statement of being beginning with the syllogism: “Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all there is.” The second step is the sense testimony (what the senses tell us about anything). The third step is the argument between the absolute abstract nature of truth from the first step and the relative specific truth of experience from the second step. The fourth step is filtering out the conclusions you have arrived at in the third step. The fifth step is your overall conclusion.

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.  Since Truth is all that is, therefore Truth is total, therefore whole, therefore  complete, therefore all-inclusive, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly, therefore purposeful.  I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since I am Truth therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, all-inclusive, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly, purposeful.  I, being Mind, and I, being Truth, therefore Mind is Truth OR Truth is Mind.

2)    Sometimes our hunger for food can be confused with our hunger for love.

Word-tracking:
hunger:  desire for food or something, starving
food:  nutrient, nourishment, stimulus, 
love:  affection, desire, libido, like
confuse:  mix up, mingle

3)    Truth being one, there is nothing other than truth to mingle with, therefore there is no confusion in Truth.  Truth being all-inclusive, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore pleasing, there can be nothing unpleasant, unlikeable in Truth, therefore Truth likes everything about Itself.  Since Truth likes everything about Itself and since Truth is in infinite supply, therefore Truth is an endless supply of nourishment, nutrition, stimulation OR Truth is feeding itself constantly AND there is no hunger in Truth for food fo any sort.

4)    There is no confusion in Truth. 
Truth likes everything about Itself.
Truth is an endless supply of nourishment, nutrition, stimulation
Truth is feeding itself constantly
There is no hunger in Truth for food of any sort.

5)    Truth likes everything about Itself, which is an endless source of nourishment, nutrition and stimulation.

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 complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore synchronistic. I think therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since I am Truth, therefore I am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, synchronistic.  I being Mind and I being Truth therefore Truth is mind.

2)    Injured bones take a long time to heal.

Word-tracking:
injury:  a wrong, impair, to make worse
bones:  bonfire, skeleton, structure, tpile up, construct
time:  tide, regularity, predictability
heal:  whole, cure, to set right
good:  suitable

3)    Truth being whole there is nothing in Truth which requires healing, therefore the wholeness of Truth is a given.  Truth being all that is and wholeness being a given, nothing can be built outside of the structure of Truth, therefore the constructs (structures/ bones) of Truth are whole, sound and perfect.  Truth being all, there can be no limit to all, therefore Truth is infinite.  Since reality seems to be composed of time and space, therefore in Truth time and space is infinite.  Since Truth is all and the nature of truth is right, therefore proper, therefore appropriate, therefore suitable, therefore good, therefore the nature of Truth is good.  Since the nature of Truth is good, there is no injury to heal.  Since Truth is Consciousness and since the nature of Truth is good, therefore the nature of Truth is sound of mind and body (since body is a manifestation of mind).

4)    The wholeness of Truth is a given. 
The constructs (structures/ bones) of Truth are whole, sound and perfect.  
Truth is infinite.
In Truth time and space is infinite.
The nature of Truth is good.
 The nature of Truth is sound of mind and body (since body is a manifestation of mind).

5)    The wholeness of Consciousness is a given as is the wholeness of Its Body.

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 in tact, therefore all-inclusive, therefore excluding nothing, therefore love.  I think therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since I am Truth, therefore I am total, whole, in tact, all-inclusive, love.  I, being Truth, and I, being Mind, therefore Truth is Mind.

2)    Fear of love can cause violence.

Word-tracking:
fear:  peril, harm, shame, grief
love:  leave, permission, allow
cause:  accuse, excuse
violence:  energy, violates

3)    Truth being all there is, that which violates truth is not so, therefore there is no violence in Truth.  Truth being all that is, there is no cause/accusation/excuse other than Truth, therefore Truth is blameless causation.  Truth being all, therefore otherless, therefore one, can be a threat to those who think they are other than Truth, but since there is nothing other than Truth, nobody is threatened by Truth, therefore Truth allows all, Truth permits all, Truth includes all as Itself, Truth loves all as Itself.  Truth being all-inclusive and otherless, there can be no threat to any being, since all being is Truth being, therefore Truth is endless possibilities.

4)    There is no violence in Truth. 
Truth is blameless causation. 
Truth allows all, Truth permits all, Truth includes all as Itself, Truth loves all as Itself. 
Truth is endless possibilities.

5)    Truth is blameless causation and endless possibilities.  All Systems Go!

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 complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly.  I think therefore I .  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly.  Since I am Truth and since I am Mind, therefore Truth is Mind.

2)    Healing involves rooting out both mental and physical lies.

Word-tracking:
heal:  whole, Helen, cure, to make well, care for, nurse, to mother
root out:  rummage, look through cargo
mental:  mind, to think, to remember
physical:  physique, physician, to reshape, natural, native, birth
lie:  warlock, to deceive, to fail

3)    Truth being all that is, there can be no limit to all, therefore Truth is birthless, deathless, undying.  Truth being birthless, deathless, undying, therefore the nature of Truth is birthless, deathless, undying.  Truth being Mind and Truth being all, therefore Truth is all-knowing. Truth being without limitation, therefore Truth is without form/definition, therefore Truth is infinite, uninformed knowing.  Truth being whole, cannot be healed or cured, therefore Truth is motherless independence.  Truth being all-knowing, cannot be deceived to, lied to, therefore Truth is wise as serpents, harmless as doves.
