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 in tact, therefore all-inclusive, therefore excluding nothing, therefore love.  I think therefore I am.  Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I am Truth.  Since I am Truth, therefore I am total, whole, in tact, all-inclusive, love.  I, being Truth, and I, being Mind, therefore Truth is Mind.

2)    Fear of love can cause violence.

Word-tracking:
fear:  peril, harm, shame, grief
love:  leave, permission, allow
cause:  accuse, excuse
violence:  energy, violates

3)    Truth being all there is, that which violates truth is not so, therefore there is no violence in Truth.  Truth being all that is, there is no cause/accusation/excuse other than Truth, therefore Truth is blameless causation.  Truth being all, therefore otherless, therefore one, can be a threat to those who think they are other than Truth, but since there is nothing other than Truth, nobody is threatened by Truth, therefore Truth allows all, Truth permits all, Truth includes all as Itself, Truth loves all as Itself.  Truth being all-inclusive and otherless, there can be no threat to any being, since all being is Truth being, therefore Truth is endless possibilities.

4)    There is no violence in Truth. 
Truth is blameless causation. 
Truth allows all, Truth permits all, Truth includes all as Itself, Truth loves all as Itself. 
Truth is endless possibilities.

5)    Truth is blameless causation and endless possibilities.  All Systems Go!
