In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. (John 1:1-2)
Not "a" beginning, "the" beginning. No multiple beginnings. Only one beginning. What existed before the beginning? Ex-ist means to come out of. What did the beginning come out of? We have no words. If we do, they are not enough.
The Word began at the beginning. Word: an exhalation of creative energy. Ex-hale. Hale: healthy, as in hale and hearty. Exhalation: breathing out hearty healthiness. At the beginning, there was a breathing out of healing heart.
"The Word was with God and the Word was God." The Word and God were both separate and the same. What/Who is God? God is That which was in the beginning. We do not know God's history. There was no history. We can make up history (and we do). But God has no history.
What we know is that the Word, God, and the beginning co-occur, are simultaneously present. Trinity is here and yet is one outbreathing. A conspiracy (con-spire: to breathe together) to create. A conspiracy of creation.
