In UC527 we learned humans and the environment are mirror images of the Creator. This means we are metaphors of the Creator. We are expressions of the Creator in different forms. This also means we are translations of each other. We have the same essence, the same message and the same meaning.
Translation
A translation
transfers the re
lationship of essence-message-meaning from one form to another form.
A translation transfers the relationships of interconnections and interrelations of one thing in one form to another thing in another form. This is a summary of creation.
When we consider the relationships aspects of creation share, and consider the ways in which we also share those relationships with those aspects and with each other, this process helps us stay in touch with the essence of creation. From this point of initiated learning, follows message and meaning. This process also works in reverse by starting with relationships humans share with each other and then transferring those relationships to human-nonhuman relationships and nonhuman-nonhuman relationships.
Due to translation, we can look to the Creator and the environment to get the same essence, message and meaning.
This is why knowledge of self leads to knowledge of all else.
Knowledge is not the acquisition and retention of information. These things are early parts of the process of knowledge and understanding.
Interpretation
Interpretation occurs when we seek understanding from a self context (self concept) that has not yet looked in the mirror and found its major metaphor or understood it clearly enough. This is the case with the spirit/energy metaphor. We are aware we are spirit but have left understanding up to interpretation rather than seeking the meaning of what it means to be spirit through the ecosystem/environment.
There is no such thing as misinterpretation. All interpretation is misinterpretation because interpretation is missing the basis of translation. All interpretation is due to what is lacking in translation.
We must look in the mirrors to see the metaphors in us so, as mirror reflects mirror, essence-message-meaning become clearer and clearer.
It is better to have a fuzzy translation rather than a clear interpretation.
