What does Ra mean by 'distortion'

[Sacred Fool]

  

I'll toss in another thought.  For me, that Intelligent Infinity is undistorted means that it is changeless.  Now, when you try to think of something changeless, your gonna have a hard time coming up with anything (and maybe someone will?), because even a vacuum is unstable, as little particles just appear in it out of nowhere, scientists tell us.  So, what does it mean that this "thing" exists, but, because it is changeless, it cannot be measured by time, nor by space?  Well, you'll have to ponder that for yourself without any help from me.  I simply accept it, as Ra noted in the quote offered by Patrick, as pure Mystery.

As to the definition of "distorted," that one's a bit easier.  The way I read that, the famous first two distortions are the primary two steps away from that mysterious unity and into the experience of differentiation.  Following those there are any number of further steps away, and the further you travel along succeeding "steps," the more you experience distorted qualities of separation (which is to say, various phenomena and phenomenal states of consciousness).  Ergo, the closer your consciousness moves towards the experience of cosmic unity, the less distorted your instrument becomes (your instrument of consciousness, that is).  Your spirit's journey, then, is the process of stepping this way and that way and possibly choosing to be guided by faith (i.e., by your internal recognition of what is less distorted) to move closer towards an undistorted experience of Creation, even though, of course, Creation is quite dynamic and, I dare say, confounding.

The trick to navigating this, I would conjecture, is to travel as much as you can in alignment with your own spirit, and this begins for us in a serious way, Confederation sources aver, by entering your own heart center.
