“When spoken of, the Monad is referred to as Osiris. He is the one that has to Self-realize Himself… Our own particular Monad needs us and we need it. Once, while speaking with my Monad, my Monad told me, ‘I am self-realizing Thee; what I am doing, I am doing for Thee.’ Otherwise, why are we living? The Monad wants to Self-realize and that is why we are here. This is our objective.”

Dionysus
(Greek) Διονυσο, Dionysos, from dio, “god,” and nusa, “tree,” thus the name literally means “god of the [world] tree.” Also called Bacchus (“riotous”).
Originally, Dionysus was a Greek symbol in the secret mystical schools, and was related to sexual power and to wine in the same way that Jesus is related to wine in Christianity. Those traditions were dedicated to purity of character and the perfection of the human being by transforming the base animal desires into purified spiritual exaltation. Dionysus was related to the spiritual intoxication that resulted from the purification of the heart and mind, thus he and his followers were represented in states of ecstasy, dancing, “drunk” on the “wine” of transmutation. Later, through degeneration, the symbolism of Dionysus was corrupted by a wide variety of cults and hedonistic interests. As a god, Dionysus was represented as androgynous (having both masculine and feminine aspects, as also represented in the Hebrew word Elohim). This also was later seized upon as a justification for degenerated interests.
Like Jesus, Dionysus was
Genesis 4:2-5
…Abel (the human soul connected to the Atom Nous in the heart) was a keeper of sheep (Igneous Souls), but Cain (the Animal Mind) was a tiller of the ground (Intellectualism, wealth and materialistic positions).
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain (the Bestial Mind) brought of the fruit of the ground (Intellectualism, wealth and materialistic positions) an offering unto Jehovah Elohim.
And Abel (the human soul connected to the Atom Nous in the heart), he also brought of the firstlings of his flock (Igneous Souls) and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah Elohim had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
But unto Cain (the Bestial Mind) and to his offering he had not respect.
Genesis 3: 8-12
And they (Od and Ob, Adam and Eve, Pingala and Ida, Yan and Yin) heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim walking in the garden (physical body) in the cool of the day: and Adam (Od, Pingala in the Brain) and his wife (the Brute Mercury, Ob, Ida, Eve in the sexual organs) hid themselves from the presence of the (the Holy Spirit of) God amongst the trees (physical senses) of the garden (physical body).
And Jehovah Elohim called unto Adam (Pingala, through the Central Nervous System), and said unto him, Where art thou (where is thy solar fire)?
