I agree with you there Valtor, but when a person says to me that they are not of light and love, I would not have reason to heed them any further, and I would most definitely use great discernment to anything else they had to say.
Just as when I realize that someone is quoting from a source that is not the actual source of the quote, but an edited and reinterpreted opinion of the actual quotes, I will now understand that what they are quoting may not be actual quotes.
IMHO, the original written material is still very close to what Ra said. But, like you, I prefer reading what was actually said.

The least distorted? Really? Now what does that tell us! And Ankh seems to like that.
It tells us that all Creation is distortion.
Without distortion, there is only One person.
My friend, you do not have to be comfortable with what we write or what we quote. Like I said before, you should take in only what you resonate with.
That said, I would note that IMHO a big part of the positive path is accepting that other selves have other Truths. And those who resonates with a large enough set of Truths will be able to form social memory complexes based on this set of Truths. Then you have other memory complexes based on other set of Truths.
I am afraid that you are using the word distortion in two different meanings here Valtor. When Ra uses the word distortion they are speaking about how a thing vibrates. they are speaking about vibration. That is different than using the word to mean a corruption of truth or information.
Well I am using that word with only one meaning, but it's quite possible that we do not ascribe the same meaning to the word.
I would say that my understanding of the word "distortion" as used by Ra is inline with my understanding of the teachings of Ra themselves. So it's possible that my understanding is not what Ra meant. And this is why I said that we all create our own Truths.
Nevertheless, I feel that the understanding I have of the Ra material, including my understanding of the word "distortion" as used by Ra, is quite useful to my Self at this time.
Here is my current understanding: All Creation is made out of vibrations and even before physicality. All concepts are vibrations too. Thoughts are vibrations.
This understanding is not static and is always evolving as it is with discussions such as this one.
