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.
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 sound, therefore perfect. 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, sound, perfect. Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things (mind and Truth) being equal to a third thing (I) are equal to each other. Since Truth is Mind, therefore Mind has all the attributes of Truth. Therefore Mind is total, whole, sound, perfect.
2) Consumption of sugar can lead to inflammation and pain.
Word-tracking:
pain: opposition
inflammation: flame, flagrant, a flaming torch, to catch fire, to be consumed in flame, to shine, brilliant, fulminate, to explode.
explode: plaudit, to applaud, to clap to chase away
sugar: saccharine, excessively sweet, sentimental. endearing, loved
consumption: to consume, to take in completely, devour, to swallow, to believe something, to suppress feeling
love: affection, influence, force, power
power: potent, the ability to be
3) Truth being all that is, therefore Truth is all that can be swallowed, all that can swallow. Therefore Truth swallows Itself. Since power is the ability to be and since Truth is all that is, therefore Truth is the only power. Love being affection, meaning influence or being influenced, and Truth being the only power (or influence), therefore Truth is love. (Truth being love, there is nothing sentimental or saccharine or cloying about it.) Truth being all that is, there is nothing not native (or unnatural) in Truth therefore Truth loves all as its own. Truth being total, whole, sound, perfect, there is nothing to explode (to clap away), therefore Truth is not explosive. Truth being mind and Truth being without limit or infinite, therefore Truth is Infinite Mind. Truth being Infinite Mind can never be anything less than brilliant. Truth being one and there being no opposite to one, therefore there is no pain in Truth. Therefore Truth is painless.
