Then the rest of your post goes on to say there is.
Apollo Dionysius
higher quality actions lower, crude forms of action
superior manifestations inferior manifestations
On this Forum..the conflict of 'opposites' shows up in nigh on every post...
Masculine/feminine
Man/Woman
Good/Bad
Light/Dark
Intellect/Senses
Void/Drama
It's hilarious!
Posters appear to be caused to advocate a ''point of orientation' on a perceived polarity..
Let's use Intellect v Senses
Intellect................................................................Senses
You would be over on the Intellect side Cory, I guess....unwise would be more toward the Senses...
Wherever you are is a 'tension point' between the Opposites.
That's the place you talk from...Live from...'hold' as the 'correct position'...Judge from...
There is nothing wrong with this..prior causes in your experience place you there...it is not a reason to make you or another 'feel' guilty...
Wherever you are 'feels' like home..you seek pals with a similar orientation and 'beat up' on Other orientations together.
That's the Drama...perp, rescue, victim.
Enlightenment, if that's the right word, is integrating the Opposites as they appear in yourself...
You will have a deeply, devout 'Choir Boy' longing for purity, mental clarity, pristine intent, precise knowledge...as a part of your Mind..
You will have a 'Wild Man' Archetype that wants freedom from responsibility...wants adventure.
Acknowledge these 'things' in yourself as they arise...they both require expression...
Rejecting either of these in yourself defeats you.
In terms of projection, when you are perping or criticising Dionysius in Another...what's being told is 'you are rejecting Dionysius in yourself'....Dionysius being pushed into Shadow...
A recognition and balance of these 'opposites' in your Mind is possible.
What is the Payoff in extolling Apollo as 'God'?
What will you get?
It's obviously some perceived Power thing for that's what Apollo is about....Ruling...
