"-Zeus-, the King and Father Himself,... the great, wise, ancient artificer of my race,... sitting beneath the rule of no one (ὑπ’ ἀρχὰ δ’ οὗτινος)… there is no one seated above Him whose power He reveres (οὗτινος ἄνοθεν ἡμένον σέβει κράτη)." Aeschylus - Supp. 590-9
The Nature of the Gods Faced with the too immediate question of whether the Gods exist, there is a humbler and, at the same time, more radical question when contemplating what has been transmitted by Aeschylus, Empedocles, or Syrianus.

"Thus is the [jñānam] of this: there is neither renunciation [tyāgaḥ], nor attachment [grahaḥ], nor dissolution [layaḥ]."
Alternatively, I am in all beings, and all beings are in me. — Aṣṭāvakra Gītā, 6.4

Each one contains within itself all the others as what makes each one that one. There is no collapse into a synthetic unity; quite the opposite.

The implications are that Liberation is not to be understood as the destruction of any order, nor as the renunciation of what we never cease to be, nor as attachment to anything whatsoever. For bearing all things qua our own uniqueness, nothing is lacking where there is no lack.

We’re back! The nature of the Nous or “Intellect” is best understood through narrativity, all that participates Nous must incorporate this narrativity. Intellective Narrativity On Butlerian Henadology - Part V.1 by Oluwaseyi Bello link in comments

"For this is the will of the Gods [τὴν βούλησιν τῶν θεῶν]: to manifest themselves [ἐκφαίνεσθαι] as Gods through the souls [θεοὺς διὰ τῶν ψυχῶν]; for They are on display [προέρχονται εἰς τοὐμφανὲς] through the pure and unstained life of souls." L. K. Taurus - fr. 34T

Despite their profound doctrinal differences, these four positions share a common delimiting assumption, even where equivocity categorically denies any conceptual commonality: they confine the problem to the horizon of the predication of being. I
As 4 posições sobre a predicação do ente em relação a Deus e a criatura segundo Mastrio. 1) Equívoco → quando digo que Deus é ente e a criatura é ente, de comum há apenas a palavra, não há nenhum conceito comum. 2) Puro unívoco → ente é predicado da mesma forma para Deus e para criatura, sem diferença de grau e sem diferença de modo. Posição de Arriada, Oviedo e Mayronnes (Mastrio não tem certeza sobre o último). 3) Puro análogo → o nome é comum, mas a razão de ente significada não é inteiramente identidade e nem inteiramente diferente. A analogia trás uma unidade (unidade analógica) e alguma diversidade. Quando o ente se contrai na substância, ele é ser-substancial, no acidente é ser-acidental, em suma, o ente ao se contrair muda intimamente. Essa é a tese defendida por Tomás, Caetano, Ferrariense, pelos Complutenses. 4) Análogo unívoco → é unívoco porque a razão de ente é a mesma em Deus e na criatura, mas é análogo também porque existe um grau de dependência. Deus é ente por excelência, a criatura participado, assim temos uma diferença de perfeição e temos dependência. O ponto de Mastrio é que a criatura possui intrinsecamente a razão de ente e intrinsecamente a dependência e menor perfeição, por isso é uma univocidade de analogia intrínseca. A diferença de perfeição, modo e ordem essencial implicam em graus de analogia.

but rather the unconditioned source whose causality makes the order of Being possible without itself being defined by its categories. IX

The question thus ceases to concern how being is predicated of the principle and what derives from it, and instead focuses on how the principle's sufficiency grounds the real singularity of everything that exists. _
