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. 

!)    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 full, therefore plenty, therefore all present and accounted for.  I think, therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since, i, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, am all the attributes of Truth.  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, full, plenty, all present and accounted for.  Since I, being, am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.  

2)    Bullies don’t care about collateral damage.

Word-tracking:
bully:  intimidate weaker people, mistreat weaker people
intimidate:  make timid, weak, small, fearful
people:  mortals
strength:  power, potent, the ability to be
collateral:  side effects, not the main intent, secondary or subordinate
damage:  harm, fee, expense

3)    A bully is someone who intimidates others, makes others timid, small, weak, fearful, so bullies don’t pick on weak people, they thrive on making people weak.  Truth being the only being and potency or power being the ability to be, therefore Truth is the only  power.  Truth being the only power, there can be no stronger and weaker people, Therefore Truth is immortal, unlimited, infinite, indivisible Consciousness.  Truth being immortal, unlimited, infinite, indivisible Consciousness obviously cannot be intimidated since there is nothing other than Truth to intimidate anything. Therefore Truth/Consciousness is the unquestioned power of the Universe.  Since Truth is the sole force/mover in the Universe, therefore Truth is all that can be moved, Therefore Truth is the sole movee.  Truth being the sole movee, and Truth being the sole effector, there can be no side effects (collateral damage) in truth, therefore Truth is the sole subject and the sole object.  

4)    Truth is the only  power.
        Truth is immortal, unlimited, infinite, indivisible Consciousness.  
        Truth/Consciousness is the unquestioned power of the Universe.
        Truth is all that can be moved,
         Truth is the sole movee.
        Truth is the sole subject and the sole object. 

5.    There is nothing secondary or subordinate to the indivisible power of Truth/Consciousness.
