In these two quotes they make reference to a place before distortions (before free-will), yet still call this state of presumable infinity "intelligent". I was curious how you reconcile that with the thought that infinity is becoming intelligent through distortions?
Personally, I understand this to mean that infinity was intelligent before *any* distortions. So, to my way of thinking, when Ra says "infinity became aware" I interpret that to mean that infinity, which was already intelligent or aware, simply became *self aware*. It was essentially raw intelligence organizing itself into a focused self, or logos.
What are your thoughts on these quotes? Do you agree/disagree? I'm always curious how other people interpret these things.
It is my understanding that at step 2, Infinity becomes self-aware, and is still without any distortion of any kind, there is not even the first distortion of freewill at that level of awareness. One step down from the state of Infinity becoming aware (Intelligent Infinity), is Intelligent Infinity becoming aware of the concept of free will and deciding to explore this idea, which is the first distortion. This first decision we might say is the second distortion.
So the Original Thought is simply the first thought that ever found focus within infinity, thus making infinity intelligent. Everything knowable exists within this first thought and all that sparked from it.
I believe this Original Thought can be best summed up using English words as: I AM !
From this I AM, there is no many-ness yet at this level of awareness.
