I'm having trouble with your lojban, and I don't know whether it's you
or me, so I'm posting my translation attempt here.

The 3 processes of becoming, the ones associated with the mind, are
going to be the subject of you talking to me.

"te go'i" is, I think,
do mi tavla le ci pu'u binxo
so we have:
mi do tavla le nu le menli cu binxo le kumte
I talk to you about the event of the mind becoming the camel.
Umm, _what_?

I talk to you about the event of the camel becoming the lion.
> .i go'i fi le nu le verba cu binxo le cinfo
I talk to you about the event of child becoming the lion.
Ummm, I should probably mention that I've never read nietzche. I have
_no_ idea what you're talking about.
