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.
!) 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 one, therefore otherless, therefore limitless, therefore infinite. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth. I, being Truth, must have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, one, otherless, limitless, infinite. Since I am Truth and I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness)
2) The world is an illusion.
War is an illusion.
AI is an illusion.
Word-tracking:
illusion: wrongly perceived
world: planet
planet: wanderer
Earth: only planet in the Universe known to support life
war: confusion, strife, dispute over limited land, limited grandeur, limited authority
AI: intelligence, ability to chooses between
land: property, proper, true
3) Truth being Mind (Consciousness) and Truth being all that is, there is no ability to perceive wrongly, therefore perceiving rightly/truthfully is the only option. If Truth were less than all, it would be limited. Truth being limitless and wars being fought over perceived limits to land, grandeur or authority, therefore Truth is the harmonious realization of limitless land, limitless grandeur and limitless authority of Truth. Since intelligence is the ability to choose between many options, and since Truth is the only option, therefore Truth is not intelligence, Truth is Knowing. Since the Earth in finite and Truth is infinite, therefore either the Earth does not exist OR the Earth is infinite.
4) Perceiving rightly/truthfully is the only option.
Truth is the harmonious realization of limitless land, limitless grandeur and limitless authority of Truth.
Truth is not intelligence, Truth is Knowing.
Either the Earth does not exist OR the Earth is infinite.
5) Truth is Knowing the limitless property, grandeur and authority of an infinite Heaven (Consciousness) and an infinite Earth (Perception).
