[UA] Alpha and Omega

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Actually, the Comte de Saint Germaine is a living
embodiement of the Alpha and the Omega.  He is the
beginning and the end of all things -that part of god
which creates and uncreates. The Alpha and the Omega
is similiar to "Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds" (which
also implies "Shiva, Creator of Worlds.")
