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 all-inclusive, therefore otherless, therefore sole, 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 am Truth.  Being truth, therefore I am all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, all-inclusive, otherless, sole, one, united, harmonious, orderly.  I being Truth and I being mind, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness)

2)    Right-wing people are conservative, traditional, authoritarian, hierarchical believers in meritocracy.  

Word-tracking:
Right-wing:  conservative, conserve, observe, keep safe, authoritarian, hierarchical, meritocracy, watch over
people:  mortals
afraid:  fear of fighting/violence
traditional:  handing things down from one generation to the next
authoritarian:  author, inventor, causer
hierarchical:  sacred rule
meritocracy:  due reward, recognize, deserve
deserve:  serve well or zealously or fully or truthfully

3)    Truth being one, there is nothing other than Truth which could endanger Truth, therefore Truth is safe.  Since conservatives want to pass things down from one generation to the next, and since there are no generations in Truth, therefore Truth is untraditional.  Since people are mortal and since Truth is immortal, that which is so about people is immortal.  Truth being one, united and harmonious, there can be no fighting, no violence in Truth.  Therefore Truth is nonviolent.  Truth being all that is, there can be no cause outside of Truth (because there is nothing outside of Truth), therefore Truth is the only “authoritarian.”  Truth being the only “authoritarian,” is therefore the only ruler and Truth being all, therefore Truth is the only ruler and the only ruled.  Truth being whole, complete, perfect and sole, is therefore its own reward

4)    Truth is safe.
        Truth is untraditional. 
        That which is so about people is immortal. 
        Truth is nonviolent. 
        Truth is the only “authoritarian.”
        Truth is the only ruler and the only ruled.
        Truth is its own reward.

5)    Truth, untraditional, nonviolent and safe, is its own ruler and its own reward.
