In 1983, Koji Kondo and others had thoughts of making a video game. It so happened that in 1984, they drew the designs, wrote the computer programs and tested the video game. In 1985, the video game was launched and it was the Super Marios Bros from the famous Nintendo company, Kyoto, Japan. In 1983 when Koji Kondo and friends had thoughts of making a video game, maybe they were bored and maybe their boredom was the basis of their motivation.
But in the beginning when everything started, the earth didn't exist. As a result, there was no Japan and so neither did the Kyoto City exist nor was the Nintendo company (cited today in Kyoto) found anywhere. Everything that we see in the universe today began but it wasn't because someone was bored and wanted to create the globe from boredom. Just like people want to play PlayStation 4 so badly, no one was in dire need of playing or experimenting with planets. No one had a need to pass time with an interactive game like the Super Marios Bros and so made galaxies as a result. No one was bored and succinctly, there just was nothing.
There was no planet, no universe, no matter, atom, space, and interestingly, humanity didn't exist. All that was were thoughts of everything and their underlining principles as planned and programmed by the Creator. There were thoughts of how the universe would be, the order of stars and the progression of constellations, the principle guiding gravity, the colour, flow and texture of water, et cetera. And man, what form he would take; his gait, speech, posture, cerebral strength, that he would be in the duality of male and female.
This was the beginning and aside from these thoughts and the progression of the things that will, as schemed in the mind of the Creator, there was nothing else. Following these many thoughts of making everything from nothing, there was the need to take the first step of nullifying nothing and emerging something from nothing. Interestingly, time was going to emerge as a consequence of the first step that was going to be taken.
Thus, light -the very first thing that was created- came into being and as a result, time began. Times and times after, other things emerged but man was nowhere to be found. Amidst the rows of things that emerged were water, the wind, the earth, fire, the moon, trees, stars, flowers, butterflies, birds, and other animals, the sun, and so on.
Now, it became 4000 BC and to fabricate man, an invisible hand, excellent in pottery and uncurtailed by the indefinite expanse of the universe, potted man from the colorful clay of earth's dust and it was a fine clay man; lifeless but exquisite. Thereafter, he made man as a wind and shushed the wind man into the clay man's nostrils and the clay man stood, toddled, trotted, walked and became a living man. This was the origin of the first man.
The first man was a dual man and he was magnificent. Without aid, he saw through spectrums, far beyond the visible region and into the infrared, ultraviolet, and surreal. His night vision was stellar, and without telescopes, he saw beyond earth. His spatial, lingual, and cognitive capacities were extraterrestrial. He spoke to plants in their languages and called them names, and named them the names he called them.
Now, the first man was a dual man and although he was indefatigable and couldn't wane or succumb to decline, he was lonely.
And the first man was a dual man so that he (once and for all times to emerge in the thereafter) split into male and female. And their twain was gorgeous and insurmountable and knew no bounds.
***
Times after, the twain of the first male and female turned different. They got hit by a woe and became surmountable and declined in their excellence and their perception of the surreal. The first male and female now have a number of offspring but these offspring are all hit by the same woe.
As their origin, wherein the wind man was shushed into the nostrils of the clay man. The wind men similarly spiralled through the lungs of the first male and female and left the bodies of the first male and female through the gates of their nostrils. And they fell and died and like the beginning, became clay men. The escaped wind men were now without bodies and they journeyed through dimensions and travelled onwards to their ultimate destination in the yonder.

The year is Circa 2055, and now I know that man's origin is his beginning and his origin is closely knitted with his end. In Edinburgh, amidst some of the most bright-minded Scottish scholars, I have found men who say that when man is hit with illness and he declines and falls, and kisses the earth's crust, that dust is his ultimate destination.
In a different space, I am strolling the wealthy streets of Sacramento and I see a man but I am unsure if he is a man because in his form, he appears as a man, yet he looks like a woman. When I motion towards him and asked if he is a man. He says he is neither a man nor a woman. In Los Angeles too, I find folks who say they are neither male nor female and you are not permitted to address them as either male or female.
When I circle around California, I ask many people about their origin. Some said it all began from aliens and they emerged from folks who came from Mars. Others described how the origin of man is from Africa and how they came from the same ancestors as those of other primates and morphed through millions of years into what is now known as men. They describe how they have brothers of orangutans and cousins of apes. They are of the school of evolution and C. Darwin is a pillar and they are standing poles postured behind him.
Some didn't give me an audience, others were clueless but only a few shared the account of the origin of man that I know.
