@KaliYugaEinheri Yeah same drive at play. You’re correct, it’s explicitly non-dualist. In the case of the Dionysian and Apollonian there is a relashionship but it’s not a equiprimordial one. The Apollonian emerges from the Dionysian
The "virtuous pagan" label is odious.
It rests on the prideful assumption that the geniuses of pre-Christian Europe and the Orient would've converted to Christianity. This backward projection onto figures like Plato and Zoroaster is contrary to their teachings and texts.
In as much as the virtuous pagans who preceded Christ point to Him (Plato, Confucius, Buddha, Zoroaster, etc.), they are valuable.
But when they become figures worshipped onto themselves, they lose any value they had.
@Dljokl Nose jobs are always botched because the nose is a representation of our ψυχή. Like most things, these realities whether it be nasal bridge or temperament are forged at an early age, and can never be surgically frauded
@FeelsGuy2003 Preferences, values, ideals, wills, drives, desires, etc., exist independently of whether or not someone is a theist or not. The existence of God is irrelevant to the biological and ultimately, psychological realities of human existence.

Classical Theist, the ideologue who believed Kanye West would save Western Civilization, finally makes a halfway decent prediction—atheism will emerge from the far right.
