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 al that is.  Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore one, therefore otherless.  Truth being true is therefore correct, therefore right, therefore moral, therefore lawful, therefore perfect.  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, one, otherless, true, correct, right, moral, lawful. perfect.  Since I, being, am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.

2)    Only love can overcome sexual humiliation.

Word-tracking:
overcome:  to overpower
pain:  payment, penalty
love:  to leave, to permit, to allow, belief, libido, affection, affect, to move
sexual:  sex, to cut, to divide, reproductive organs
orgasm:  to swell or be excited
humiliate:   dishonor, embarrass, shame, to lesson somebody’s dignity or pride, painfully self-conscious
self:  personality, self-identity

3)    Truth being one cannot at the same time have many selves, therefore Truth is one Self.  Truth being one Self and Truth being  whole, cannot be painfully Self-conscious since there is no pain in wholeness.  Therefore Truth is painless Self-awareness.  Since there is no pain in wholeness, there is no humiliation, diminishing or Self-abasing in wholeness.  Therefore Truth is undeflatable OR Truth is that which is undeflatable.  Truth being one cannot at the same time be divided by sex, therefore Truth is pansexual excitement.  Potent meaning the ability to be and Truth being all that is, therefore Truth is all-potent, all-powerful.  Since Truth is all-powerful, there can be no force, no affect, no movement, no emotion, no love other than Truth.  Therefore Love is the only power.

4)    Truth is one Self. 
        Truth is painless Self-awareness
Truth is undeflatable OR Truth is that which is undeflatable. 
     Truth is pansexual excitement.
       Truth is all-potent, all-powerful.
       Love is the only power.

5)    Love is the only power.
