Soma is a mysterious entheogenic beverage from the Vedic tradition, often associated with the moon god Chandra and the "nectar of the gods" known as Amrita. While its exact ingredients remain debated—with Amanita muscaria being a popular candidate—it was considered a plant, a god, and a drink simultaneously. This tri-fold nature mirrors modern perceptions of Ayahuasca as a divine intelligence.

The concept of reality as an artificial construct or holographic simulation is linked to the ancient Hindu concept of "Maya." In this view, the physical world is an illusion, and time is represented by the Greek god Cronos (Saturn), who consumes all things. Despite the illusory nature of reality, humans remain hostage to it through physical needs and the experience of suffering.
