Love is the message, Light is the medium. Together, they are Creation. More or less like how words + pages = book. Whether it's written as Light/Love or Love/Light just depends on which aspect one is focusing on.
Would that be the negative and the positive then? Simply a backlog of information (pushing away of further experience) vs a pre-processing (pulling in of new experiences)?
I'd say no, because the negative and positive distortions happen much further down the distortion chain. Love/Light (or Light/Love) might be called the fundamental building block of Creation. They are the raw stuff of the Cosmos, the result of the first three primary distortions. Positive and negative can't come about until you've got a multitude of entities, not just the Creator. And both the negative and positive polarities are still equally made up of Love/Light (Light/Love); the difference is in how they react to it and use it.
When I said which aspect one is focusing on, I mean... Well, fundamentally I believe Love and Light (as they are discussed by Ra) are inseparable when viewed from the perspective of an entity within the Cosmos. There cannot be the Creator's Light without Love, and Love must necessarily be carried on the Light to have effect. Yet they are still two sides of the same coin, which is why Ra refers to them jointly. So to speak specifically of Light/Love would be talking about the method of transmission, whereas Love/Light is focusing on the message\power of Love being transmitted.
For reference (15.21):
Quote:The first distortion, free will, finds focus. This is the second distortion known to you as Logos, the Creative Principle or Love. This intelligent energy thus creates a distortion known as Light. From these three distortions come many, many hierarchies of distortions, each having its own paradoxes to be synthesized, no one being more important than another.
Oh, you believe in the negative and the positive. I see the negative in the positive and the positive in the negative. Balance is truth. Balance is forward.
Well, I simply answered the question within the framework you presented. If you hadn't brought up negative\positive I wouldn't have talked about them. They are, after all, merely distortions - and ones which, like I said, can only form several steps further along the chain of distortion that begins with the initial three distortions which form the love\light-light\love.
Quote:What if the positive soul in space/time was negative in time/space, and vice versa? Maximizing light in space/time while filtering love as opposed to maximizing love and filtering light (to the extent that positive space/time is maintained...).
Whenever Ra referred to concepts with a slash in there, it was pretty much always to suggest that the two things are fundamentally linked and basically inseparable. (Except, perhaps, when considered from the POV of the Creator directly.) Like teaching\learning-learning\teaching. One might be able to examine "teaching" in the abstract, as in studying methods of teaching, but in practice, there cannot be teaching without learning, and vice-versa.
So I honestly don't believe space\time-time\space OR love\light-light\love can be separated in the way you propose here. In particular, I would personally consider "maximizing light while filtering love" to be a true contradiction. To me, this phrase would be like saying "maximizing sunlight while blocking the sun." There cannot be light without love. Remove the love, and the light vanishes as well.
Remember, "love" as Ra talks about it is independent of the positive and negative distortions. It is a pure creative force, focused by will. If those wielding that will are utilizing positivity or negativity in their work, it would only be roughly akin to using a mirror to move light around. The light is still there, and still equally available to all regardless of their engagement with the polarity distortion. Likewise, they are both part of the love and the light, regardless of their self-proclaimed polarity.
At most, the love\light is just being sent in different directions, I'd say is not the same as being "filtered."
