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. Since Truth is all, therefore Truth is total, therefore whole, therefore one, therefore otherless. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, am total, whole, one, otherless. Since I, being, am Truth and since I, being, am Mind/Consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness.
2) Most rules are not in favor of democracy.
Word-tracking:
ruler: rule, govern, dominate, regular, regular, common
govern: to steer, guide, follow, advise, to see
favor: approve, prefer, to want one thing more than another
democracy: rule of the people
people: common people, people living in a district, hoi polloi (the many)
common: exchange, reciprocal, a quantity (or quality) when multiplied by some other quantity or quality equals one.
3) Truth being one, there is no hoi polloi (the many), therefore the personification of Truth is singular. Since the personification of Truth is singular, the rule of the people is singular. Since the personification of Truth is singular, there is only one Self. Therefore Self-government is singular, therefore Truth is the only rule, the only ruler, the only ruled. Truth being one, there can be no favoring of one over another, therefore Truth “favors” Itself. Truth being the sole Rule, therefore Truth is regulator, regulation, regular OR Truth is regular, common, commonplace. Truth being Mind/Consciousness, therefore Truth sees, Truth advises, Truth steers, Truth governs. And who does it see, advise, steer, govern? Itself. Therefore Truth sees, advises, steers, governs Itself.
4) The personification of Truth is singular.
The rule of the people is singular.
There is only one Self.
Self-government is singular
Truth is the only rule, the only ruler, the only ruled.
Truth “favors” Itself.
Truth is regulator, regulation, regular OR Truth is regular, common, commonplace.
Truth sees, advises, steers, governs Itself.
5) The personification of Truth is the singular, regular, commonplace knowing and guiding of Itself, by Itself, for Itself.
