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 done. 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, done. 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, done.
2) Self-blame and suggestibility lead to hypochondria and disease.
Word-tracking:
self: possession, mine
blame: blaspheme, speak against God, mea culpa, I’m guilty
suggestible: easily influenced
influence: flow, movement, move from place to place
hypochondria: under the cartilage, over concern about disease
disease: opposite of ease, comfort
worry: wrench, deceit, wrong
wrench: to pull away from
3) Truth being all that is, therefore the Self of Truth possesses all. Truth being true, being right, cannot also be wrong, therefore Truth is guiltless, blameless, exculpated, disculpated. Truth being all that is, there can be no influence other than Truth, therefore Truth easily influences Itself. Truth being all that is is therefore everywhere equally present. Truth being everywhere equally present, does not move from place to place, therefore Truth is everywhere equally present stillness. Truth being total, whole, complete, done does not require work or effort to achieve, therefore Truth is effortless presence. Truth being effortless presence, cannot be difficult or dis-eased, therefore Truth is effortless and easy. Truth being all that is, there can no nothing other than Truth, therefore Truth is one. Truth being one, nothing can be wrenched from truth, therefore there is no wrenching, worrying, deceit, wrong in truth, therefore Truth doesn’t worry. Since Truth possesses all, therefore Truth is concerned (but not overly-concerned) about everything.
