The ecstasy of the Dionysian state%2C with its destruction of the customary manacles and boundaries of existence%2C contains%2C of course%2C for as long as it lasts a lethargic element%2C in which everything perally experienced in the past is immersed%2E Through this gulf of oblivion%2C the world of everyday reality and the Dionysian reality separate from each other%2E As soon as that daily reality comes back again into consciousness%2C one feels it as something disgusting%2E The fruit of this condition is an ascetic condition%2C in which one denies the power of the will%2E
My Ideal Person
In this sense the Dionysian man has similarities to Hamlet%2E Both have had a real glimpse into the essence of things%2E They have understood%2C and it now disgusts them to act%2C for their actions can change nothing in the eternal nature of things%2E They perceive as ridiculous or humiliating the fact that it is expected of them that they should set right a world turned upside down%2E The knowledge kills action%2C for action requires a state of being in which we are covered with the veil of illusion%2E That is what Hamlet has to teach us%2C not that really venal wisdom about John%2Da%2DDreams%2C who cannot move himself to act because of too much reflection%2C too many possibilities%2C so to speak%2E It%27s not a case of reflection%2E No%21 The true knowledge%2C the glimpse into the cruel truth overcomes the driving motive to act%2C both in Hamlet as well as in the Dionysian man%2E
