Give me that old time religion: A study in Dionysian ecstatic rites.

Give me that old time religion: A study in Dionysian ecstatic rites. - 231 p.

Adviser: Patrick Mahaffey.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2007.

Modern society tends to relegate the ecstatic to the fringe, recognizing its casual pursuit as frivolous, and its serious pursuit as dangerous addiction. The modern image of Dionysos, the Greek god of ecstasy, is a reflection of the society's view of the ecstatic. At best, Dionysos is remembered as a happy-go-lucky, boy-man encouraging us to a little bit of intoxication, naughtiness, dance and song---a degenerate, but charming, god of wine, women and song. At worst, he is equated with Satan---the evil tempter who draws us into the hell of addiction.

520 $a Modern society tends to relegate the ecstatic to the fringe, recognizing its casual pursuit as frivolous, and its serious pursuit as dangerous addiction. The modern image of Dionysos, the Greek god of ecstasy, is a reflection of the society's view of the ecstatic. At best, Dionysos is remembered as a happy-go-lucky, boy-man encouraging us to a little bit of intoxication, naughtiness, dance and song---a degenerate, but charming, god of wine, women and song. At worst, he is equated with Satan---the evil tempter who draws us into the hell of addiction.
520 $a The perception of Dionysos in modern society (which is remarkably like the perception of Bacchus in Roman society) is a perception that was held in Classical Greece, whose city states, at least in myth, resisted the influence of the god. However, this was not the only, or even the dominant, perception. Large portions of the population engaged in a cult worship of Dionysos that acknowledged a deeper religious meaning than the simple naughty boy/satanic devil portrait. This worship recognized in Dionysos the image of indestructible life itself, and a path to 'stand outside of oneself' as a way to experience life as unified whole.
520 $a Dionysos informs us about the nature of ecstasy, its cathartic effect on our psyche, and gives us a means to engage it. We are warned to avoid the extremes of denying Dionysos, or its opposite: identifying with the god. We are offered the "safe container" of Dionysian rituals, which allow us to engage the ecstatic without being destroyed by it.
520 $a But Dionysos also shows us that the pursuit of the ecstatic is more than a catharsis, a "blowing off of excess steam." Engagement with Dionysos takes us deeper into the infinity of the present moment and deeper into our connection with the mystery of life.
