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, whole, complete, one (as there is nothing other), infinite, limitless (’cause if there were a limit, there would be an other), united, harmonious, 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, being, have all the attributes of Truth:  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, one, limitless, infinite, united, harmonious, orderly.  Since I am Truth and I am consciousness, therefore Truth is Consciousness.

2)    Some people think I’m weird and sometimes so do I.

Word-tracking
people:  mortalI:  subjective truth
weird:  fate, verse, that which comes about, strange, unusual, supernatural, destiny
strange:  external
destiny:  determine or arrange in advance
determine:  to set the limits of
chide:  slay

3)    Truth being all-inclusive, there is no externality, therefore
 Truth is not strange.  Truth being limitless, nothing is determined, therefore there is no destiny.  Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, have no destiny.  Since Truth is all that is, there can be no standard or norm other than Truth, therefore Truth is the only standard, the only norm. Therefore Truth is the  usual.Truth is the normal.  Truth being limitless is therefore immortal, “some people” can only be a misperception, a partial seeing of the one, immortal subjective I being.  Truth being the one subjective I and Truth being all-inclusive perspectives (all-seeing), therefore Truth is unbiased, objective.  Truth being one, cannot be chided or mocked since there is nothing other than Truth to chide or mock, therefore Truth can only make a mockery of that which is not Truth.

4)    Truth is not strange.
        There is no destiny. 
        I, being, have no destiny.
        Truth is the only standard, the only norm.
        Truth is the  usual.
        Truth is the normal. 
        Truth is unbiased, objective.
        Truth can only make a mockery of that which is not Truth.

5)    There’s nothing strange about being all-knowing, unbiased and objective.  It’s the only norm, the only usual, the only destiny.  To think otherwise would be a mockery.
