Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what seems to be truth with what you can syllogistically, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) prove is the truth. It is not an effort to change, alter or heal anything.
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 ready to go, therefore ready, willing, able, available. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I, being, am Truth. Since I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am total, whole, complete, ready to go, ready, willing, able, available. Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things being equal to a third thing are equal to each other.) Since Truth is Mind, therefore Mind has all the attributes of Truth. Therefore Mind is total, whole, complete, ready to go, ready, willing, able, available.
2) Pain is my internalized self-defense mechanism.
Word-tracking:
pain: punishment, penalty
internal: external, outside
self: as distinct from others
defend: fend, fencing, strike, offend, protect
protect: cover
mechanical: do something without thinking
3) Truth being all is therefore one. Since I, being, am one and there is none other than I, being, there is not need for protection, covering up. Therefore Truth is not defensive. Since Truth is Mind and since Truth is all, therefore Mind is all. Therefore Mind is all-knowing. Mind being all-knowing cannot be hidden from Itself, therefore Mind is always open, always uncovered, always obvious. Truth being Mind and Mind being all, there is nothing done without thinking (without Mind), therefore there is nothing mechanical in Mind. Sometimes doing what is right can be a threat to others.so a possible punishable offense. Since Truth is all that is, therefore Right is all that is. Therefore being right, doing right is always right and since there are no others in Truth who might be threatened by doing right, therefore Truth is always a non-threatening rightness.
4) Truth is not defensive
Mind is all.
Mind is all-knowing.
Mind is always open, always uncovered, always obvious.
There is nothing mechanical in Mind.
Right is all that is.
Truth is always a non-threatening rightness.
5) Truth is always an obvious, non-mechanical, non-threatening rightness.
