Quote: 1.5 You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

The arguments put forth seem to be in favor of us being infinite beings, and containing infinity, which I agree with. However, in my opinion, that doesn't mean we are infinity. The reason I see it this way is that, in my understanding, the very definition of infinity is without distortion.
1. Does Infinity have distortion?
2. Do we have distortion?
3. What is illusion?
The paradox at the heart of the Ra material, as I understand it, is that we are the one infinity, whole and undistorted, but have chosen to adopt the finite viewpoint of seemingly separate entities. The illusion is that we are separate and finite. Distortion is any movement away from undistorted unity.

You may be right, but I can't think of any examples. Please give one or two that support the idea that Ra distinguishes between infinity and intelligent infinity.

They then go on to describe the unity to be what we can comprehend as Intelligent Infinity. I don't want to make the folly of putting words into Ra's mouth, but if the unity (Intelligent Infinity) is all there is (or all that exists, because "is" implies existence), then there must be a distinction in Ra's mind between Infinity and Intelligent Infinity, because Infinity goes beyond the states of existing and not existing.
Can you give any other evidence from the Law of One material supporting this belief? I don't find it convincing to read the statement that unity is all that there is to say that therefore Ra is suggesting that there is something beyond unity.
