What does Ra mean by 'distortion'

[Patrick]

Have you ever had a fish tank or pool and played with the way things look from above and below the water? How distance and position can be changed? This would be a distortion.

Now imagine there is a true vibration, image, or thought of the entire creation, but there are many layers of water surrounding this true image. Any attempt to view it will be distorted.

Now imagine you are trying to see that true image, but every time you move, you create ripples in the layers of water around the image, this is another distortion.

Ra uses the word in two ways. The first, is to describe the way the creator has acted to create laws, The Law of One, the Law of Free Will. The second way is the action of co-creators, you and me and everything else that has individuated consciousness. Our actions, mental and physical, cause distortions.

Excellent !  Your analogy is like merging Stephen Hawking's the Grand Design with the Ra Material.
