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 limitless, therefore infinite, therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly. 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 have all the qualities/properties of Truth. Therefore I am all, limitless, infinite, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, orderly. Since I am Truth and since I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).
2) Decisions made when you don’t have all the facts can lead to giving your authority over to others.
Word-tracking:
decision: opt, choose
choice: options, opt, desire
fact: true, truth
other: second, dual
authority: potent (ability to be)
3) Truth being one, and making a choice implying the existence of many options, therefore Truth is the only option. Truth being true, therefore factual, and Truth being all-inclusive, therefore Truth is inclusive of all the facts. Truth being Mind and Truth being inclusive of all the facts, therefore Truth/Mind is always in possession of all the facts. I being Truth and Truth being one, there can be no one other for me to give my authority over to. Therefore I, being Truth, Mind, have all the privileges and responsibilities of infinite power, the ability to be.
4) Truth is the only option.
Truth is inclusive of all the facts.
Truth/Mind is always in possession of all the facts.
I, being Truth, Mind, have all the privileges and responsibilities of infinite power, the ability to be.
5) Being is the sole power in the Universe and is based on being in possession of all the facts and behaving accordingly.
