Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what seems to be truth with what you can syllogistically, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) prove is the truth. It is not an effort to change, alter or heal anything. It is a sort of prayer. It is a salute to the answer already arrived.
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 completed, therefore done, therefore a “Finished Kingdom.” 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, being, have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, completed, done, a “Finished Kingdom.” Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Euclid’s axiom: Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other.) Since Truth is Mind, therefore Mind has all the attributes of Truth. Therefore Mind is total, whole, complete, completed, done, a “Finished Kingdom.”
2) Pain can be a memory (like phantom pain), a way of communicating illness or danger, a “reminder factor” or a way of diverting one from self-confrontation, or a psychic attack or hex.
Word-tracking:
pain: stress, punishment for wrongdoing
memory: of a painful past
danger: peril, attempt, trial
illness: evil, bad health, worthless, vain
ruse: trick, trickster
confrontation: to bring face to face
reminder: not to forget, lack of mindfulness
instruct: teach
hex: curse, black magic, evil, devil, accuser
3) Truth being Mind and Truth being all that is, therefore Truth is all-knowing. Truth being all-knowing doesn’t need reminder factors or gentle slaps, therefore Truth reminds Itself automatically and painlessly. Truth being all-knowing doesn’t need to trick Itself to avoid Self-confrontation because Truth, being one, has only one Face. Therefore Truth doesn’t need Self-confrontation because Truth is not two-faced. Truth being all is therefore whole, therefore hale, therefore hearty, therefore healthy, therefore full. That which is vain, ill, empty is not so.Therefore fullness begets wellness. Truth being done, finished, where’s the danger, where’s the peril, what’s to attempt? Therefore Truth has attempted everything and succeeded. Since Truth is true, therefore right, therefore not wrong, how can there be wrong doing if there is no wrong? Since there is no wrong-doing, there is no pain (punishment for wrong-doing or wrong-being) therefore there is no penalty in right-doing, right-being. Truth being all that is, there can be nothing other than truth, therefore Truth is One. Since Truth is one, there is nothing other than truth to attack or hex or curse or accuse, therefore Truth is blameless.
