And into the Void came a Thought

"Know ye, O Thoth, in the beginning there was a VOID and nothingness, a timeless, spaceless, nothingness. And into the nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-prevading, and it filled the VOID... In the beginning, there was eternal thought, and for thought to be eternal, time must exist. So into the all-prevading thought grew the Law of Time... Time changes not, but all things change in time. For time is the force that holds events separate, each in its own proper place. Time is not in motion, but ye move through time as your consciousness moves from one event to another. Aye, by time yet exist, all in all an eternal one existence. Know ye that even though in the time ye are separate, yet still are ONE, in all times existent... within thee is all time and space." - The Emerald Tablets
