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 sound, therefore perfect.  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, sound, perfect.  Since I am mind and I am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).

2)    One has to be wary of two-faced people.

Word-tracking:
wary:  aware, warn, warren
two-faced:  twin, twist, facade, superficial, hpyocritical, stage actor, pretending, to separate under
people:  mortals

3)    Truth being Mind (Consciousness), is therefore Awareness.   Truth being all and Truth being Awareness, therefore Truth is All-Awareness or All -Knowing.  But since Truth is total, whole, sound and perfect there is nothing to be wary of, cautious about in Truth, therefore Truth is watchful/watching for wholeness, soundness and perfection.  Truth being all and Truth being true, therefore pretense, hypocrisy, is not so.  Therefore Truth has one face, not the face of seeming, but the face of being.  Truth being all and there being no limit to all, therefore Truth is infinite, eternal, immortal.  Since people are mortal, therefore people are a lie about the immortality of Being OR people ARE the immortality of Being.

4)    Truth is All-Awareness or All-Knowing.
        Truth is watchful/watching for wholeness, soundness and perfection.  
        Truth has one face, not the face of seeming, but the face of being. 
        People ARE the immortality of Being.

5)    Truth is keeping the High Watch for wholeness, soundness, perfection and immortality being.
