Personally, I interpret it slightly differently, but who is to say what is true and what is not? I guess we all have to determine for ourselves. This is how I see it:
I believe that undivided intelligent infinity is oneness prior to any distortions. It is no-thing-ness. Not nothingness, because there is no nothingness. But no objects. No things unto themselves. Just undistorted intelligent infinity. Unity.
I believe awareness is primal. So when Ra says "infinity became aware", in my opinion they mean it became "self aware". Not that awareness was not there in the first place. I also cannot for the life of me divide intelligence from awareness (some A.I. engineering people might make arguments to such a case but I wouldn't call something without awareness 'intelligent' myself.)
"To define intelligent apart from infinity is difficult, for these two vibration complexes equal one concept. It is much like attempting to divide your sound vibration concept, faith, into two parts."
So according to Ra, infinity is intelligent automatically. They equal one concept. So from my perspective, the first distortion, free will, was the choice of intelligent infinity to experience distortion. Choosing WAS the distortion. Because in infinity, everything is being chosen at once in a sense. It is 'choiceless awareness'. So choice means discriminating or focusing down on a finite slice of infinity. It was an exploration of finity. There are infinite slices of finity within infinity. So a choice was exercised to experience the illusion of separation (one of the slices or cross sections of infinity).
Again, I cannot, for the life of me, separate 'choice' from either 'intelligence' or 'awareness'. They are required for a choice to be a choice in my opinion. Otherwise it is just random chaos.
The second distortion was the Self, or Logos, being fully formed. The first distortion might be thought of as the primal spirit. This second distortion might be thought of as the primal mind. The grand thinker, the grand designer, with an inner and an outer. Prior to this distortion, there was no 'inner' or 'outer'. There was no centralized locus for such a distinction to be realized. That requires some kind of ego, or self (ego in the sense of "I" not "pride").
The third distortion might be viewed as the macrocosmic 'body'. The body of light, or primal matter, out of which the 'outer' illusions are comprised of, in varying densities or grades of concentration.
Many eastern mystics have stated unequivocally that awareness is primordial and sacred. I also share this view, so I interpret the Ra channelings from that perspective (and my own experiences).
