So what the hell does SOMA mean anyway?
Originally an ancient Indo-Persian word, representing an
entity that transforms those who embrace it into ecstatic
or transcendental realms. Soma eventually became a
philosophical concept representative of ritual offerings, the
contents of the material world, or the ‘life-force.’ The Greeks
and the Romans used it to refer to the body. And of course
Aldous Huxley described it as a holiday from the ordinary.
We simply think of it as a magazine.
