STORY: It was about 9:30 pm when I went upstairs and sat in a chair in the little hallway outside my bedroom and began writing my first Translation®. The year was 1972. My Mentor, Liz Andrews, had finished the Translation® class at 7:30 pm and told us to do a written Translation® before we go to bed. I’ll always remember spending about 30 minutes quietly speaking these three sentences to myself as I wrote the words and expanded my Translation®. Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is All there is. These three sentences form a syllogism - an argument consisting of a major and a minor premise that together lead to a conclusion. Wow! Truth is ALL there is. Whew! I do not remember what my sense testimony was then, but over the years I have probably Translated thousands of problems (financial, health, relationship, etc.) that appeared to be devastating. With the tool of Translation® I have used my mind to reason and to dissolve my intellect. Translation® is a tool that helps me open up to the ever present TRUTH. Every human being has problems. And every human being has the ability to learn how to handle a problem. Repeat this syllogism to yourself. FEEL the Truth that you are drawn to understand.
