There is stillness without distortion.
And where there is vibration there is a distortion of that stillness.
If you replace stillness with void, and distortion with thought, you have the means of creation.
Distortion as I understand it, is simply the distortion of stillness, like the ripples on the glassy surface of a lake.
distortion = disturbance
This is basically correct, and quite perceptive.
Distortion derives from L. distortus, pp. of distorquere "to twist different ways, distort," from dis- "completely" + torquere "to twist." And here we pluck an interesting word: torquere; which translates to modern day torque, which literally means "rotating force."
Consider now for a moment, what is the Logos?
This "torque" or rotating force is the Love/Thought/Focus behind the Creation. The "first movement," or torsion, if you will, in its turning, spiraling, rotating action, generated further and further motion, kinetic, energy across its Creation. Thus we have that first "ripple," if you will, that reverberated down into further rippling waves, vibrations, frequencies. In other words, dis-torsion lead to further dis-tortion (this is in no way a "bad" or unwanted result—the word/concept "distorsion" should not be seen under such negative light).
And just as the Creation was unfolded from that "first movement"—that generating, creative principle that is the Logos—so too shall the Creation fold back unto itself. For such are the rhythms of Creation: from un-distortion to torsion/distorsion to un-distortion. Thus beats of the Heart of the One Infinite Creator.
Naturally, less distortion brings one closer to the vibratory state of the Logos in its relative un-distortion at the "beginning" of Creation, shall we say, which is approaching the stillness, or silence, of Intelligent Infinity.
Thus I agree with Shin'Ar in this one particular point specifically: in the stillness of the void, there is no motion, no tortion, no sound, and no distortion (potential movement, sound and distortion, however, is ever there!).
