Leave Huxley out of this!
Great allusion pick up except in this case I was responding to his posting a Vedic creation story.
“Soma - Vedas. In the Vedas, or Vedic scriptures, Soma is portrayed as sacred and as a god (deva). The god is the plant and the drink; there is no difference. The plant is the god and the drink is the god and the plant is the drink — they are all three the same. Soma is similar to Greek ambrosia (cognate to amrita); it is what the gods drink, and what made them deities. Indra and Agni are known for drinking massive amounts of Soma. Mortals also drink it, giving access to the divine.”
This is what I was alluding to and where Huxley probably got the idea.
Cheers!
