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, therefore whole, therefore infinite, therefore complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore lovely, therefore loving. 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 everything that Truth is.  Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, otherless, one, united, harmonious, lovely, loving.  Since I am Truth and since I am mind, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).

2)    I come from God so I must take myself more seriously than others.

Word-tracking:
I:  ego, ego-centric, confined viewpoint
God:  Supreme Being, supernatural being, deity, divine
serious:  weighty, grave, important, that which is imported

3)    Truth being all that is, nothing can be brought in from outside of all, therefore there is nothing important (imported) in Truth OR All is domestic.  Since nothing in Truth is important, nothing is grave (life or death) or weighty in Truth, therefore Truth is weightless, immortal.  Truth being one cannot be divided up between supreme and regular being, therefore there is no God OR All is God.  Truth being Mind/Consciousness and Truth being all, therefore Truth is limitless Mind, Infinite Mind and Infinite Mind cannot have a limited, finite perspective, therefore there is no egocentricity in Truth, there is no blind spot in Truth.  

4)    There is nothing important (imported) in Truth
        All is domestic.
        Truth is weightless, immortal. 
        There is no God OR All is God.
        There is no egocentricity in Truth.  
        There is no blind spot in Truth.

5)    Truth is the domestic perspective of weightless, all-seeing, immortal Mind.
