  The Alpha Logos...The Omega Logos An Erotetic Creation Myth Α · The First Question — The Eternal Answer · Ω Before the first world opened its eyes, the Answer was already alive in God. ✦　∞　✦ Before there was a place in which to be, God was. Before distance could unfold its silver measuring thread, before silence could gather around an unspoken word, before the possible had acquired even the tenderness of a promise, God was Infinite, Perfect, and Transcendent.

They were wise beyond the minds of men, with gifts of creativity and powers that stretched the limits of their realm. There were two kinds of these beings: the eternal elders and the eternal children. The elders were always blessed with the joy of their children, whom they had instructed and nurtured for all time.

The parents, in their infinite and endless wisdom, had the ability to continuously instruct and guide them forever.
