4th Battle of the Titans: Clash between Natural and the Supernatural ΙΙ - The Ascent of the Natural.

The Crystals Series is a storyline in the form of a novel which starts from the very beginning of the creation of the Universe, traverses the whole human civilization, reaches the present and continues into the future, summarily following the evolutionary course of human civilization.

In the first part of the Clash between the Supernatural - Natural, we followed the evolutionary path of life from 50 million years ago to 200 thousand years ago, we witnessed the first battles between the Supernatural and the Natural, the creation of the Balkan Peninsula, the domination of the mammals, but we followed the separate phylogenetic tree of humankind. A summary reference was made to the educational/training system necessary for the development of sentient beings at the three spiritual levels, the ten -faces-, the three consciences, the four paths and the five plagues that directly and indirectly impact on their lives.

In the second part of the Clash between the Supernatural - Natural, 200 to 100 thousand years ago, we witness the slow-paced developmental modification of the Homo sapiens-sapiens, during which, life begins to acquire full self-knowledge. The final trial and oath-taking of Zeus as the Warrior of the Light take place as well as his efforts to take responsibility for reinstating the Natural Forces. Clashes of epic proportions, battles of the Titans and dwells between the Titans and the Olympians dominate the scene.

In the 4th Battle of the Titans, we are witnessing the turning point of nature to the logical, the incarnation of nature with life and its rationalization by Homo sapiens-sapiens. It is the sentient being through which the universe is trying to acquire self-knowledge and self-realization. So, on the one hand, we are witnessing the undiscernible and insurmountable difficulties through which the White Crystal will eventually reach Mount Olympus in the hands of Zeus, and on the other, the easiness with which the Black Crystal will reach Othrys in the hands of Cronos. We are witnessing in fact, the conflict between the rational and the irrational and the transition of man to the logical. Man has fought hard during this transition. His mind was aflame for a series of thousands of years in his effort to address his difficult and inscrutable questions. At the end, he came out victorious, he moved on, but it was a futile victory, since he got carried away into metaphysical and supernatural escape routes. So, the metaphysical and illogical remains latent in his everyday reality and in every one of his thoughts, and emerges in every difficulty. Such titanic battles were fought inside the human mind.




THE FIRST CLASHES BETWEEN
THE NATURAL AND THE SUPERNATURAL

The Double Oracle

We are about one hundred thousand years from present day. After the liberation of the Cyclops and the Hekatoncheires, Zeus’ group pitched camp at the outskirts of Mount Olympus. The time to liberate his brothers had arrived. In the beginning, along with his group, he surveyed the outskirts of Mount Olympus, set up a makeshift command center and organized the first lines of defense. That would be the command center for all operations from now on.

After they proceeded with the necessary intervention on Olympus, the Cyclops were tasked with studying a blueprint of raising tall walls and ramparts or every sort in the wider area, for the worst case scenario whereby the Natural Forces became isolated and were hemmed in. Following that, they discussed the assignment of roles and the taking up of particular responsibilities. Each one had to take up their role and slowly set up a plan through which they would liberate Zeus’ brothers. His brothers would be necessary for the final battle. But how could he possibly approach Cronos all by himself? And even supposing he managed to do that, how could he possibly liberate his brothers?

Zeus left his companions and went to the Oracle at Dodona, while he asked his friend Prometheus to go to the Oracle at Delphi. When he reached Dodona, he went to the Sacred Oak and through exotic amatory encounters, he became one with the airy Priestess Dione. In the usual way, he again listened to the rustle of the leaves in the foliage of the Sacred Oak that addressed his doubts and answered his questions. So, he was given an answer that said that he should marry one of the Oceanid nymphs, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, who would help him in his effort to liberate his brothers from Cronos. Oceanus’ daughters were three, but according to others, fifty and even others, three thousand. One way or another, he would visit their kingdom and find out. Yet, which daughter of Oceanus was he supposed to marry? He returned to the outskirts of Mount Olympus thinking that unless that question of his was answered by Prometheus, Zeus would have no choice but to select one of Oceanus’ daughters that appealed to him most. He also saw his other companions, the Cyclops and the Hekatoncheires who had already been hot on paving streets, paths and corridors through which they would later build Zeus’ palaces, but which now would be used as fortification and defense works. They should be prepared for every contingency and risk, and maintain perfect cover and response potential.

In the meantime, Prometheus was also back from Delphi, with an oracle that made things more complex: he told him that he was to marry one young woman who lived next to Oceanus but was not his daughter. They could not find an answer to that, but the two agreed that Zeus should go to the sea kingdom of his uncle, Oceanus, to seek a solution there. He would have to go anyway to ascertain his uncle’s intensions as to which side he would take in case of war. In the meantime, Prometheus would go to meet a community of Homo sapiens that were right at their transition point to becoming Homo sapiens sapiens. Caring Prometheus had already spent enough time with that species whom he had to leave when he was called by Zeus to accompany him on his travels. If Zeus run into a problem, he would send for Prometheus by means of his companion eagle.

Zeus was already under a constant creative upheaval. He would stop at nothing.

Zeus’ engagement to Mitis

Losing no time, Zeus decided to visit Oceanus’ kingdom. On his way there, he was thinking about Oceanus and the number of changes he had to go through up to that moment.

Zeus was thinking that initially, Oceanus was one single body of water, reigning supreme under the name Panocean, until Cronos, following his victory on Dark Uranus during the 2ndBattle of the Titans, pushed him aside, by making Hyperion and Iapetus his allies. Ever since that time, Oceanus was careful not to provoke Cronos and that was why he had been very careful with his behavior towards him. Zeus was thinking that some million years ago the continents on Planet Earth were merged into one, under the name ‘Pangaea’, taking up an area on the globe stretching from the north to the south, while Oceanus was also one body of water, the Panocean. Back then, the Indian Peninsula was at the southern hemisphere, squeezed and stuck between Africa, Antarctica and Australia. Following his final domination, Cronos started questioning and thinking ill of Oceanus’ might. He rather felt threatened from it. So, soliciting the help of the Cyclops and the Hekatoncheires about 150 million years ago, they embarked on moving the Indian, Antarctic and Australian plates. They merged them all together, pushing Antarctica south, all the way to the South Pole, the Indian plate north and slightly to the east and the Australian plate to the northeast. Through those tectonic movements, they caused great changes to the continental land mass, while at the same time, they broke down Panocean into smaller parts. Certainly, back in that time
