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 limitless, therefore infinite, therefore eternal, therefore immortal.  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, being, am total, whole, limitless, infinite, eternal, immortal.  I, being mind and I, being Truth, therefore Truth is Mind (Consciousness).

2)    Committing a crime and saying that you didn’t is what criminals do. 

Word-tracking:
crime:  decision, judgment, wrong, illegal
legal:  law, laid down
lie:  to speak a falsehood

3)    Truth being all there is and Truth being true, right, correct, cannot at the same time be wrong, a crime.  Therefore committing a right, committing a truth is the only possibility.  Since Truth is all that is, Truth is all that can be told, therefore there are no falsehoods OR telling the Truth is the only possibility.  Since committing a truth is the only possibility, there is no crime.  Since there is no crime, there is no punishment.

4)    Committing a right, committing a truth is the only possibility. 
        There are no falsehoods OR telling the Truth is the only possibility.
        There is no crime.
        There is no punishment.

5)    Committing a truth and talking about it is the only possibility.
