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 one, therefore otherless, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly, therefore purposeful. 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 am total, whole, complete, one, otherless, united, harmonious, orderly, purposeful. I, being Mind, and I, being Truth, therefore Mind is Truth.
2) Consumption or non-consumption can make a body fat or thin, healthy or sick, inflamed or comfortable.
Word-tracking:
consumption: consume, devoir, to take, to swallow, ingest, to take in
body: system, to combine, a complex whole of related elements
fat: overweight, heavy, lift
thin: slim, little fat
healthy: functioning well
sick: ill, unwell, bad, effeminate man
inflated: response to injury or infection
comfortable: to strengthen completely,
potent: able to be
3) Truth being one, whole, is therefore one system. Truth being one system cannot at the same time be many different systems. Therefore Truth is one indivisible system. Since Truth is one indivisible system and there is nothing outside of Truth, therefore there is nothing to ingest, nothing outside of Truth to take in. Therefore Truth is a one indivisible self-sustaining system. Truth being consciousness, cannot be overweight or underweight as Consciousness has no weight at all. Therefore the norm of Consciousness is weightlessness. Truth being whole, cannot feel unwhole, unwell, bad, therefore Truth is the fact and feeling of robust male/femaleness. Since Truth is all-inclusive, there is nothing outside of Truth to injure or infect Truth, therefore Truth is invulnerable. Since Truth is all being, Truth cannot be unable to be, therefore Truth is all-potent, omni-potent (the ability to be).
4) Truth is one indivisible system.
Truth is a one indivisible self-sustaining system.
The norm of Consciousness is weightlessness.
Truth is the fact and feeling of robust male/femaleness.
Truth is invulnerable.
Truth is all-potent, omni-potent (the ability to be).
5) Truth is the face and feeling of weightless, indivisible, invulnerable, omnipotent, robust male/femaleness.
