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 one, therefore pure (not mixed with anything else), therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly, therefore precise, therefore purposeful. 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, one, pure (not mixed with anything else), united, harmonious, orderly, precise, purposeful. Since I am mind (self-evident) and since I (being) am Truth, therefore Truth is Mind. (Two things 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, one, pure (not mixed with anything else), united, harmonious, orderly, precise, purposeful.
2) With age, cataracts can obscure vision and lead to blindness.
Word-tracking:
cataract: obstruction of the eye, opposite of transparent
old: aged, adult, completely grown, mature
vision: to see
see: to perceive, to follow, to know
blind: blend, to mix, to make dark, to confuse, to obscure
dark: to hide, to make obscure
3) Truth being Mind and Truth being without limit, therefore without beginning or ending, therefore Mind is infinite, ageless. I, being Truth being Mind, therefore I (the Universal I) am ageless. Truth being Mind, being knowing, cannot at the same time be “not knowing,” obscure, hidden, dark, therefore Truth/Mind is always apparent, always transparent, always the light OR The Right is the Light. Mind being one, there is nothing other than Mind to obscure or hide anything, therefore Mind is unobstructed vision.
4) Mind is infinite, ageless.
I (the Universal I) am ageless.
Truth/Mind is always apparent, always transparent, always the light OR The Right is the Light.
Mind is unobstructed vision.
5) The Right is the Light.
