What is it to have a Dionysian experience? One could argue that any
experience is Dionysian. What I mean by that is allowing yourself to be
completely immersed in the *experience* of the experience, regardless
of what that experience is. It could be dancing, acting, singing,
celebrating, breathing, looking at the stars, making love, walking or
running, standing in the rain, or having that moment of perfect
drunkenness where you just ARE...whatever, it doesn't matter. What
matters is that the experience is ALL, and the mind falls away -- to be
"out of your mind", by engaging every sense you have into it
completely. In that sublime moment of experience, your soul touches
eternity and the God Himself. At the same time, you come home to your
Self, as the masks fall away.
