You perceive the stated definition as given by the dictionary as suggesting something other than the same exact definition you have just emphatically outlined. From my perspective you are merely offering an example of the definition but would nonetheless be forced to define it in the same exact manner were you to offer an alternative definition. I see most adamantly a difference with respect to the perceiver "not understanding" the full truth, or perhaps even a partial truth, of a certain something when indeed his truth has a "disproportionate meaning" to him than "the" truth, this as if seemingly misrepresenting or distorting the facts or truth of that something to him that would otherwise be proportionate and clearer to the truth were it not distorted.(08-31-2009, 04:55 PM)Quantum Wrote: I am almost as confident that one would need to define it in much the same manner, and would be equally as curious as to how one would define it otherwise? What then is distortion, per se, this in the "unique context of the LOO", as suggested, and this without remotely utilizing any of the above words, or their similarity.Your dictionary definition conveys a wrongness, an incorrectness.
I believe the only point you seem to be making is that were indeed "All One" that there then would be no distortion. This is self evident. But as all is not perceived as one, it leaves us with distortion. This too is self evident.
What then is distortion? We circle back square one to nothing more than an exercise, this to the correct definition as contained in the dictionary, and as given by Ra, whether a partial truth (as good as it gets) or a total untruth (a mistake) leaving the perceiver with a "disproportionate meaning" to "the" truth. A total untruth is a total distortion and therefore a mistake and must as such also be contained as one of the possible definitions of distortion vs only a partial truth rendering the truth as less distorted. There is only truth = non-distortion. Then there is partial truth = mild distortion. The there is total untruth = total distortion. Even a lie is a distorted truth containing enough of a plausible truth to be believed in the first place. Believing a lie is certainly a mistake. Therefore the word "mistake" must be included if not the word "erroneous". Thus Ra utilizes distortion in the only way it can be understood in the English language, notwithstanding the fact it exists as a result of "all not being understood as being one" and wouldn't need be used were indeed "all one". Alas, this in 3D is the illusion that is real...pun not intended while yet intended.
