I couldn't agree more. The example of the prism Ra offers is most beneficial. As stated earlier in my above post, there is only "One Truth". There is only "ONE light". However there are many prisms ad infinitum as there are souls gazing through them. Life emanating as we understand it, this through our present faculties in 3D, is the down-stepped many energy formations of IT, this in all of its wondrous and varied forms from the ONE Source which are those distortions, and as they must be. Case in point, where Monica reads and understands the dictionary definition of distortion to be inclusive of "mistakes" and "wrongness" implied, I do not. That is to say I do not see it as wrong, notwithstanding that in 3D distortion may nonetheless "feel" very very very wrong. To argue against this pragmatically is futile for any flesh encased soul in 3D. To equally suggest that certain distortions also do not feel as though they are mistakes is equally futile. Philosophically it may be agreed that a certain distortion is not a wrong, or is not a mistake, but try to argue this knee deep in 3D up to your elbows in a particular distortion where pain and agony are very real as a result. Let me be clear, I agree that distortion is not a "mistake" or that it is a "wrong". Pragmatically this is an arm chair philosophy to a certain extent, while yet ironically being an "all at once" necessary philosophical and abstract necessity to see otherwise in order to see ones way through it. Does this make sense? Distortion is a mistake. It is wrong. Distortion is not a mistake. It is not a wrong. It is both. As much as is a distortion often a lovely and wondrous and imbibing and glorious one in all of its many and varied beautiful forms, it is also as much of a distortion in its manifested pain. So too is often a distortion also simply a neutral distortion. It aint nuthin until its called somethin by the perceiver.

Distortion is simply not being able to see the ONE CLEAR TRUTH while forced to gaze through the prism and its fractions of light/life through its many colored hues. The light is not the prism. Yet without the prism in this 3D there is no light to behold. Thus is distortion as defined in the dictionary a "disproportionate meaning" to the truer truth as I offered before. Should one choose to view this as a "mistake" or a "wrong-ness" they wouldn't necessarily be wrong in doing so, this as a more down-stepped energy of the same truth seen through the same prism. I would however disagree only in as much as it most definitely "appears" to appear "wrong", or may appear as a "mistake", this in spite of our philosophical protests to the contrary. That it mustn't philosophically appear as "wrong" in spite of it feeling, tasting, and lived as "wrong" is where I once again pragmatically suggest it shakes out that way nonetheless. Here is where the rubber hits the road and why we are here...to gather the eggs of life's experience. Life in 3D presumably requires very much that it shakes out that way through its distortion for its lessons, less the entire lesson be lost. In closing, distortion is as often manifested as beautiful/right as it is as often painful/wrong, in spite of the fact that philosophically it is neither. Your the Ump, and it aint nuthin till ya call it. (Yogi Berra)
