150. "Red Pill/Blue Pill" makes sense, but "Apple or Soma" juxtaposition

does not. In Mythology the "Apple" doesn't represent truth or revelation but, on the contrary, the fall INTO a lower state of being characterized as 'sin' and deception. In the Hindu Upanishad it is written, "This Soma IS God" (not 'is LIKE God'). And, given the use of the Kykeon in the sacred ceremonies of ancient Greece (the founding fathers of Western civilization), there is ever reason to assume that 'Soma' was an actual--probably psychedelic--eucharist used shamanisticaly by the Braman class in their time.

Will the Truth finally set us free?
