In pre-history, when only eternal angelic beings consorted with the Holy One in the heavenly court, the elements and media of our world were devised in flashes of creative power that thoroughly dwarf the inventions and discoveries of humankind. After matter, light, and the firmament had been formed, the sun and moon fixed in their place, and Adam and Eve set in an eternal pose, an angelic being was struck by the most profound notion of all, an idea that was destined to have a greater impact upon the cosmos than any other.
For this angelic soul arrived at the notion that the ideas, forms, objects, lights, and creatures that had hitherto been stagnant in an unchanging world, should be filtered through the medium of time! Once informed of this radical notion, the Holy One relegated to his angel the task of forging the template that would set all things and ideas in motion, make them subject to change, and create the foundation for history, biography, and experience.
