The other has to be open to receive, everything else is wasted energy and entropy, adding disharmony to the collective. 18.6 touches on how to approach others. The idea of man-made intelligence is interesting. I think they're basically referring to the idea of how we approach everything from the perspective of what is wrong must be corrected, rather than letting things flow naturally.

synchronous! i just updated my signature the other day to that passage, but could only fit a small portion . How awesome is that, you referred to the passage I have been contemplating!

Thus, you have two simple directives: awareness of the intelligent energy expressed in nature, awareness of the intelligent energy expressed in self to be shared, when it seems appropriate, by the entity with the social complex, and you have one infinitely subtle and various set of distortions of which you may be aware; that is, distortions with respect to self and other-selves not concerning free will but concerning harmonious relationships and service to others as other-selves would most benefit

The man- made intelligences ( referred earlier in the passage) I interpreted as our current society's norms, status quo, expectations, customs, religious beliefs. All the distortions that people accept collectively and create their lives accordingly. The ideas that form consensus reality. Whereas the natural intelligences are the blueprint or template of our potential as humans. Natural intelligences, I am thinking is the consciousness that directs the evolution and unfolding of creation.

Thus, what would be an improper distortion with one entity is proper with another

This I thought was interesting to think about. What Ra suggests is an approach that I have worked with in some situations. Approaching the other person from a place of understanding where he/ she is coming from, rather than imposing my views, beliefs, will onto them. Meeting the person right where he/ she is.
