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 complete, therefore sole, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious. 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, sole, one, united, harmonious. Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things being equal to a third thing are equal to each other.) Since Truth is Mind, therefore Mind has all the attributes of Truth. Therefore Mind is total, whole, complete, sole, one, united, harmonious.
2) Business is a man’s world and men are scary.
Word-tracking:
business: occupation, employment
buying: trading, sales, exchange of goods, exchange of value
men: to be manly, strong, rigid, certain, unflappable, male, virile, courage
virile: virtue, goodness
scary: undeserved authority
authority: power, potent, the ability to be
3) Truth being all that is and potent being the ability to be, there can be no power, potency (the ability to be) other than the totality of beingness, therefore Truth is the only Potentate. Truth being the only Potentate, those who assume potency outside of Truth cannot exist since there is nothing outside of Truth. Therefore Truth is the only assumption of Power. Truth being true, therefore right, therefore correct, therefore proper, therefore appropriate, therefore apt, therefore good. Therefore Truth is the only Good. Since good is virtue and since virtue is virility, therefore Truth is the only virility. Since Truth is all that is and since Truth is not scared of Itself, therefore there is nothing to be scared of.
4) Truth is the only Potentate.
Truth is the only assumption of Power.
Truth is the only Good.
Truth is the only virility.
There is nothing to be scared of.
5) Virility is virtue.
