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.  Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore sole, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious.  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, have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, sole, one, united, harmonious.  Since I, being, am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.

2)    Dissociation causes emotional and psychosomatic pain.

Word-tracking:
dissociation:  unconnected, distinct, separate, antisocial, disjoined
cause:  make happen, make occur, make bee
motion:  to move, to feel, to touch, to contact, to sense, empathy
psychosomatic;  including both mind and body
somaticize:  to make an emotion physical.
pain: payment, debt

3)    Truth being one cannot at the same time be many, therefore Truth is one Body.  Since Truth is one body, that which is dissociated, unconnected, distinct, separate, antisocial, disjoined is not Truth. Therefore Truth is total integration of all that is.  Truth being being total integration of all that is and Truth being Consciousness, therefore Truth is indistinguishable Consciousness.  Since Truth is all that is, therefore Truth is all that happens, all that occurs,  So there can be no cause other than Truth. Therefore Truth is the only cause.  Cause being that which moves (or emotion), therefore Truth is the only emotion.  Truth being the only body and the only emotion, therefore the entire body of Truth is infused with the emotion of Truth. Truth being whole cannot at the same time be insolvent, therefore Truth is all-paying.

4)    Truth is one Body.
        Truth is total integration of all that is.
        Truth is indistinguishable Consciousness. 
        Truth is the only cause.
        Truth is the only emotion. 
        The entire body of Truth is infused with the emotion of Truth.
Truth is all-paying.

5)    The body of Truth/Consciousness is infused with the credit-worthy emotion of Truth.
