Reconciling Apollo and Dionysus in the Twofold Path

("Tragedy" seen as an immature Apollonian grasp of the Dionysian evolutionary goal of the cosmos)

The Twofold Path changes Schopenhauer and Nietzsche's definitions of the Will, the Apollonian, and the Dionysian. Apollo is symbolized in the Involutionary Inward Path as non-material, individualistic, and Dionysus is of the Evolutionary Outward Path, evolutionary, identifying with the group more than the individual. The Apollonian is the “idea” and the Dionysian is the “will,” or the Will-To-Godhood, leading real material objects to evolve toward Godhood, not merely the Apollonian “idea” of real objects, or the idea of God.

The Twofold Path replaces the old tension between the Apollonian Soul of the Inward Path, and the Dionysian Will of the Outward Path, between the ascetic and sensual, the rational and irrational,  science and religion, etc. The tension is resolved by including yet superseding the Apollonian in the Dionysian. The God Within (Father-Within, or Apollo to the Greeks) was the first blissful inward glimpse of the real Godhood which is reached by the Dionysian Evolutionary Outward Path.

This is the Great Reconciliation unblocking the Great Spiritual Blockade of the ascetic Apollo (and the great religions), with the  Dionysian evolution of the material world to Godhood. This is a combining of the Apollonian “idea” into the Dionysian flux of real material and supermaterial evolution. Evolution retains the power to shape, even randomly, the activating force of the Dionysian Will in its ancient sacred goal of Godhood. Ordered Evolution can be enhanced by including orderly-Apollo in activating-Dionysus.

"Tragedy" this way can be seen as an immature Apollonian grasp of the Dionysian evolutionary goal of mankind and the cosmos.
