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 one, therefore only. 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, one, only.  Since I am Mind and I am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind.

2)    Even though I am Mind, it’s the body that runs the show.

Word-tracking:
body:  substance, to stand under, to resist, to persist, to subsist, to stay alive.
proprietor:  owner of business or property, property, proper, truthful

3)    The body only dies from the viewpoint of the (our) part.  From the viewpoint of totality, even scientifically, life goes on and on and on, in one form or another, so death is only an appearance from the perspective of an isolated part of the totality of life.  Truth being one, whole, that which is separate and isolated is not real, merely a narrow perspective of the totality of consciousness.  Therefore the reality is that life, substance, spirit goes on and on and on and on.  Since body is substance and substance is that which stands under (i.e., consciousness), ergo there is no mind/body divide because Body = Consciousness.  Since Truth is all that is, there is nothing other than Truth to run the show, therefore Truth is the sole proprietor.

4)    Death is only an appearance from the perspective of an isolated part of the totality of life.
Reality is that life, substance, spirit goes on and on and on and on. 
There is no mind/body divide because Body = Consciousness.
Truth is the sole proprietor.

5)   Truth is the Sole Proprietor and the Sole Property.
