      Dionysus isn't to be believed literally! He's the effect of wine, grapes, and       grapevines, and the pleasurable/happy feeling got from grapes and wine, if you       want to be a real Dionysian, dress in green (make sure it looks        lowery/leafy), wear olive leaves        on your head, eat grapes, drink wine, stay calm without rage (salvation), fuck       prostitutes, make sacrifices of animals and serve it to Dionysus, eat foods       made with grapes or wine (and eat special foods associated with        cstasy/happiness, bright,        colourful and with nice looking colours). You'll be Dionysian for sure, the       following myth is: Dionysus invented wine and he spread the art of wine       cultivation around the world. Wine has two basic qualities: 1. one can be       possessed with a great power        when under the influence of wine, and 2. the recapitation of Dionysus by the       Titans and Dionysus's return to life symbollically echoes in grape vines,       where they must be pruned back sharply so the vine will grow in winter and the       fruit will grow on it.        Dionysus was born from his dad's thigh after being stitched in him by him when       he was already born out of a woman's vagina. Dionysus invented a cult of       salvation, and pleasure, and grapes, I don't think there are moral rules to       this cult, but there are        certain rules for being good (as above) that certainly are emotional rather       than a thinking conscience (however I wouldn't trust a moral good anyway,       since there's good without morals and morals are against what makes you       happy). However the good and        positivity/salvation treated in Dionysianism is amoral or anti-moral like the       earliest religions are (with only guidelines to the good, but no morals), this       is what things should be, because if we all followed morals, we would all live       in a world against        us and our selfish pleasures, well done the god (which is actually grapes and       grapevines). I feel that this 'great power' is a strangeness that the average       man encourages himself to have when he hits rock bottom (sorry Ayn Rand but       your political        philosophy doesn't work in a truthful world that bites you in the arse!).              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
