To the Apollonian side which had already achieved a substantial domestication of Nature, this frenzied state that made a man forget both himself and his manhood and turned him into a mere creature of instinct, must have been altogether despicable; for this reason a violent conflict between the two instincts was inevitable."

I think of Dionysis as the masculine component of the unconscious - much more than the god of drunkeness and debauchery. While the masculine component may be the part which is actively seeking oblivion through altered states and wanton destructiveness there is the balancing component of the feminine sometimes represented by the Sumerian goddess of the underworld, Erishkigal. As I see it she represents the balancing component of creativity within the unconscious or in other words, the feminine. <br /><br />It is my contention that the 'ephemeral wisdom' of the unconscious is the creative spark without which the conscious mind becomes stuck in a numbing loop leading to consumerism, war and destruction.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
