God Dionysus
The Greek God Dionysus as archetype is an unusual pattern in that it is apparent in spiritually evolved mystics as well as murderers.
The word archetype describes what Carl Jung identified as patterns of behaving that arise from the collective unconscious of humankind. The pattern of being is not unique to an individual; it is available to manifest in each of us because we each reflect a part of the whole.
To recognize Dionysus active within your life look
for…
senses.
emotions like other people are taught.
world difficult.
Possible drawbacks to living the Dionysus
archetype…
working hard and long to achieve academic or material success.
This information has been summarized from the book Gods in Everyman by Jean Shinoda Bolen. If you recognize your patterns of acting and being in the world from the above list and are curious about what you can do to change, then first and foremost use this information as proof that you are not different, defective or a victim of your past programming.
The above shows the commonality in the human experience when certain innate energies are active. As such begin by accepting that you do indeed own these particular traits and let it be OK that you do.
This will slightly raise your self-esteem and self-acceptance for each trait you own. If you would like some guidance or clarification, please contact me, I would love to help.
