Hi Phillip, how are you?

First I want to thank you for the input. Some of the corrections I do like a lot and will keep them. But there are a couple where I don't completely agree with and would like to change them back, if you don't mind. I will try to explain why I do or don't agree with the corrections and keep the current translation for three weeks before I make the changes. Until then, I would appreciate to hear your counterargument if you think that something is wrong with my reasoning. After all, my goal is to get this translated as good as possible and my English does have some flaws.

First part:

1. sufficient sleep be in proportion to all occupations. 1. genügend geschlafen wird im Verhältnis zu aller Beschäftigung.

This one is not correct. Geschlafen is a verb and genügend is an adjective. The "wird" is an active present tense of the word werden: http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/werden

Wird translates into "is being" to express the same active present tense. Also, all of the ten point are the second part of the "In daily life it is to be payed attention that". Therefore, the whole correct sentence is: "In daily life it is to be payed attention that sufficiently is being slept in proportion to all occupation".

2. good

5. good

7. very good, thanks

Second Part:

1. great. For some reason I only had "radiating" in mind and that reminded me too much of radioactive materia.

6. I guess smith is not that good of a metaphor in the language, so maker is good. But according to this page, Billy Meier wants Ehrfurcht traslated as deference. http://dict.figu.org/node/265

7&8. I asked Mr. Meier about the difference between Macht and Kraft. In their official translation they always had Macht->macht, Kraft->power

There are a few more, but I'll get to that later.

Salome!

Dear Sanjin,

Go with your instinct or "gut" as what we English speakers would say, after all it is the "intent" or feelings that really matter that written or spoken words cannot truely convey 100 percent of its meaning all the time!

Maybe one sould put some footnotes next to such words to further translate its meaning in regards to the message being conveyed. Even the Plejarens acknowledge that English is a language that has serious flaws in fulfilling its communications translation when compared with the High German.

But that does not mean one cannot replace such flawed words with a High German one and would in effect, have a double benefit for English speaking people as well. First it will provide more insight and meaning for English speaking people and secondly, give them the motivation to pursue the purely High German materials that BEAM has written which are vastly more informational than the English translations!

I would assume that this approach of a hybrid English/High German translation will have a much more imediate effect of elevating human consciousness (which is the primary mission anyway), since there are vastly more English speaking people than High German.

I have runned into such an event recently and "found" a more appropriate word for "sacrifice" (which has negative religious connotations) with a more appropriate High German word of "hingeben" to describe Nokodemjon's honorable endeavors.

And lastly, although the English language is rather young in evolution, it has some benefits as well. Being mostly deviod of inferences and other "implied" meanings found in other more developed languages, English is straight forward, combined with the High German, it will be very effective in estrapulating the strenghts of both languages to this most important mission which is to "enlighten the awareness" of humans on Earth.
