Kronos

The summit of the intellectual Gods. 

Self received Celestial Olympus and therefore reigns over those Titans who have been caused to separate and progress. Self is the continuous source and power of this transcendent cause.

Magnificent Kronos relieved Ouranos/Heaven of the sceptre and then conceded his dominion to Zeus. Kronos cuts through and is then cut through himself.

He is the dianoetic aspect of the soul, according to Plato, because of introspection, reflecting on the order of the intelligibles, and the evolution of forms within Self. He produces a union of intellection and brings it forward as many, and wholly fulfils Self with the animated intelligible.  Being pure, Kronos is the leader of undefiled intelligence and all intellectual life; however, he remains always, Self with Self, and does not come together with the sensible or material. He is proportioned to intellect of a higher order, the one cause of all things; thus, he is named Once Beyond by the Oracles of the Gods.

Kronos brings forth his progeny into light and resolutely founds Selves in Self, retaining intellect. Zeus utilised the dianoetic aspect, both many and wholes, to fabricate and energise the world, within which there are many and wholes, perfecting that which can be seen with that which cannot be seen. Hestia resolutely holds unseen essence steadfast, Self in Self. However, Hera subsists in other.
