The Ecstasy of Reason

In Bacchae, Euripides raised questions about the authority of God and humanity and human loyalty to God. Pentheus retained authority in his own kingdom and caught up in a unique struggle to be true to his favorite God Apollo. The emergence of Dionysus at Thebes has brought a confrontation with Pentheus as he was unable to accept the authority of God except for God he chose to worship in his kingdom. Pentheus resisted the supreme authority of Dionysus, showing his dominance over Apollo and the rational rule of Dionysus and the destruction of civic order.

As a supernatural being, God can not be perfectly understood by human thought; various religions are not always due to reasons, but through various forms of sympathy and ecstasy, they offer various ways of perceiving divinity I will. Some religions even make it clear that humans can not understand sanctity and should not try again. But in reality, God is only a supernatural existence honored by God as a god. This pure phenomenological approach has the advantage of avoiding complicated problems. For example, how can Venus become a goddess when Jehovah is the only god? Venus, along with countless temples, priests, and shrine maidens, are respected as goddess by millions of believers. She has rituals and accepts prayers and sacrifices. Complex questions about relationships among believers, or only Jehovah, God of Hebrew, Christian, Muslim gods can be left to theologians.

Here, Gilson explains, "The ecstasy of the neoplatonic philosophy is the state of the mind where the soul escapes from the body, adapts to one person, the absolute person, the vision of God." This word shows a transition to an absolute higher level In addition to feelings, reasoning, intelligence, the truth is easy for us to understand. Another metaphysical poet, Richard Krashow, described spiritual or religious ecstasy in his "Hymn to St. Teresa". J Weemes insists that ecstasy will happen when "the servants of God are severed from the body and bound in spirits, they may see they have some sort of mysterious mystery" .
