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 complete, therefore without limit, therefore infinite, therefore eternal. 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, complete, without limit, infinite, eternal. I being mind and I being Truth, Therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).
2) Pain in my body is reminding me that as a child I was the family scapegoat.
Word-tracking:
pain: payment punishment
child: immature, dependent
family: hierarchy, rule of the sacred
scapegoat: One of two goats. One is sacrificed. The other takes on the sins and impurities of the people and is allowed to escape into the wilderness.
sacrifice: appease, peace, pact, agreement
blame: responsibility for something wrong
blaspheme: to disrespect God
3) Truth being true, is therefore right, therefore correct, therefore perfect. Truth being perfect, there are no sins or impurities in Truth, therefore Truth is flawless, therefore blameless, therefore painless. Truth being one is therefore indivisible. Therefore there can be no such thing as a Supreme Being and lesser beings. Therefore there is no God OR all is God. Since all is God, there is no being other than God to disrespect God. Therefore all we have left to do is respect our own God Being. Truth being one cannot be a hierarchy or family or sacred rule of parent over child, therefore Truth is one non-hierarchical, all-inclusive family.
4) Truth is flawless, therefore blameless, therefore painless.
There is no God OR all is God.
All we have left to do is respect our own God Being.
Truth is one non-hierarchical, all-inclusive family.
5) Our own being is the flawless, blameless, painless, non-hierarchical, all-inclusive family of God being.
