Appolonian and Dionysiac tendencies form a: dialectic, tension, harmony, synthesis. Multiplicity of being. Apollo is rational man--hypnotized by illusion (shadows on the cave wall). Dionysus is primal will.
The Dionysiac element that most resonates with me is the Heirocletian flux. The ineffable interchange, the Brownian motion of being, the stormy sea which must sink any ship of meaning haughty enough to attempt the journey. In order to avoid disaster, it is necessary for the vessel to be girded by Myth.
It seems I have over indexed into Apollonian being. Perhaps that is why I find the Dionysiac so romantic and appealing. The surgering waters of that inhospitable sea fill me as they drag me down, away from the light and into the abyss.
To apprehend Dionysiac being is to be both absolutely free, and completely paralyzed. No action can be justified, nor inaction repudiated, in that primordial maelstrom where possibility becomes so pervasive it renders itself meaningless. The lack of order, the impermanence that invalidates time (for there is no relative constancy with which to identify a moment), necessarily reduces agentic being to pure chance or cold determinism. That preternatural flux leaves no room for conscious action. In the presence of such a powerfull Will, there can be no other.
