Well, I get what you mean and that could be very subjective. Some people might agree while others might see things differently (as we all know well) so I don't want to go too much into that. What I'm really interested in is, the beginning of all beginnings, the very start, not of humans or galaxies, but of "existence" itself.

You can't create from nothingness and everything has an origin to be traced back.

To understand that, one would need resolve the uni/multi-verse question to sufficient confidence of fidelity that terms like "existence" become attached to transforms dependent and interdependent on the reference frame of a singular extent universe, groupings or families of similar singular universes, layered spatial-dimensional universes, layered temporal-dimensional universes, universal fabrics incorporating millions of universes into a fabric, and many many many many other potentialities.
Our universe could be a tiny bubble in a fizzy foam of other universes, or a bubble inside a bubble inside a bubble inside a bubble etc. among other similarly shaped expressions.
You also must contend with the prospect of falling into the trap of exponential "who created that?" where party "A1" created this universe, and possibly others, but, was there a party "B2"" that created "A1", and "C3" that made "B2", "D4" holding responsibility for "C3", and so on down the line of incorporation such that it's a bottomless pit of infinite succession, and an entirely worthless venture in that respect.
The better course of action is to worry concern oneself with oneself in being accountable for oneself and what one can maintain and affect.
If you can't affect something and it can't affect you, then, it's pretty irrelevant to worry about things that have no legitimate real concern.
Hold accountability for what can be accounted for and stick with that.
Spooky conjectures that offer zero threads of any real evidence to pursue toward any other tangible breadcrumb are endeavors in futility.
Do I concern myself with the name brand toilet paper the Queen of England uses?
No, and she's a real person.
To what effect would concerning myself with any agency of personality as it apples to "existence"?
Are they going to RSVP to my invitations to tea? Send me holiday cards?
All matter throughout the universe is the outcome of one primal matter called Âkâsha; and all force, whether gravitation, attraction or repulsion, or life, is the outcome of one primal force called Prâna. Prana acting on Akasha is creating or projecting4 the universe. At the beginning of a cycle, Akasha is motionless, unmanifested. Then Prana begins to act, more and more, creating grosser and grosser forms out of Akasha — plants, animals, men, stars, and so on. After an incalculable time this evolution ceases and involution begins, everything being resolved back through finer and finer forms into the original Akasha and Prana, when a new cycle follows. Now there is something beyond Akasha and Prana. Both can be resolved into a third thing called Mahat — the Cosmic Mind. This Cosmic Mind does not create Akasha and Prana, but changes itself into them.
