[Right. Castiel had expressed a lack of familiarity with The Harmony, so perhaps wherever he comes from, too, is lacking in Aeons? Or THEY are again simply different, encompassing a different array of Paths? Regardless, asking that question, clearly they don't use the same terminology. Sunday's wings flex again as he tucks one arm behind his back and considers the simplest way to explain - as well as how basic he should start.]
Aeons are vast, divine entities that govern and embody the Paths of the universe. THEY are the ultimate embodiment of philosophy, and THEY are, in essence, most easily understood as gods.
[That seems straightforward enough, he thinks, but if Castiel has questions, Sunday will elaborate further. Normally he would fall back on analogy - and even calling THEM embodiments of philosophy is itself already leaning that way it makes it seem like anyone truly understands what the Aeons really are - but without knowing much about Castiel's own life, he doesn't have any points of comparison to draw on. Do Paths even exist for him or -- is it possible to have a universe where creation is not so bound? Or perhaps it is bound in a different way?]
