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 complete, therefore plenary, therefore plentitude. 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, complete, plenary, plentitude.  I being mind and I being Truth, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).

2)    Some leaders require obsequious obedience.

Word-tracking:
leader:  authority, dictator, tyrant, despot, absolute ruler, Rex, right, Reich
obsequious:  pretentious, lying, fawning, feigning
obedience:  to follow instructions, to listen to

3)    Truth being all that is, there can be no authority, no rightness other than Truth, therefore Truth is the Infinite Reich.  Truth being all that is, there can be no speaker but Truth.  And Truth being all that is, there can be no listener other than Truth, Therefore Truth obeys Itself.  Truth being the only Speaker and the only Listener, fawning or feigning interest or obsequiousness is superfluous and pretentious and therefore not Truthful.  Therefore Truth is unpretentious obedience to Itself.

4)    Truth is the Infinite Reich.
        Truth obeys Itself.
        Truth is unpretentious obedience to Itself.

5)    Truth is unpretentious obedience to Itself.
