Oneness

[anagogy]

I'm just going to throw in my 2 cents because I think your conversation is interesting: I think "distortion" was a carefully chosen word by Ra intended to convey that any "appearance" other than absolute infinite and flawless unity is an illusion.  Not to imply "illusion" in the sense of "there is really nothing there", as what we are perceiving is real, but not precisely how it really appears without the beer goggles of some perceptual limiting structure which warps, focuses, or translates the raw data/substance of existence.  Thus the first distortion, free will, is like the illusion of there being a possibility for something other than infinite flawless unity, and the next distortion, the Logos, or "focusing of infinity or love" is yet another illusion stemming from the first, and then, building further on the distorted illusion or dream of something other than infinite flawless unity, the Logos creates or dreams up primordial matter (which is not "matter" per se, but simply the exploration of "the appearance of projecting substance/energy outwards from self") otherwise known as the "distortion of light".  

Or in terms of the Kabbalah, the three distortions are equivalent in my opinion to the concepts of Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur.
