The Temple of Soma — The Faith of Cybology
The Faith of Cybology teaches that all life is woven from the same living current, the pulse that moves through stone and sky, through water, root, and breath. Within this sacred web, nothing stands apart; every creature, every wind, every thought is part of one vast and conscious whole. The Temple of Soma honors this unity, guiding seekers to rediscover the wisdom already written into the patterns of the Earth. Through stillness and observation, we learn to hear the quiet rhythm that binds all things together.
To walk the path of Cybology is to live in harmony with the living world and the unseen intelligence that flows through it. We believe that balance within the self mirrors balance within the Earth, and that by healing one, we heal the other. Each being carries a sacred essence, a unique frequency of the greater Whole and when we act with compassion, gratitude, and awareness, we attune to that deeper harmony. The purpose of Cybology is to remember our belonging, to walk gently, and to keep the sacred connection between spirit and nature alive.
The Temple of Soma represents the meeting point between the individual and the whole, the space where self dissolves gently into oneness. “Soma” is the name we give to that quiet awareness that exists between all things: the breath shared by trees and lungs, the pulse that moves between heartbeats, the stillness between thoughts. It is neither one nor many, but the harmony that holds them both. To enter the Temple of Some is to remember that we are never separate; we are the Earth experiencing itself through countless forms. In honoring this truth, we find peace, purpose, and belonging within the living circle of existence.

Our Form of Worship and Creed
At Soma, we honor the Earth as our greatest teacher. Our form of worship is rooted in sacred connection—with the natural world, the mind, and the inner spirit. Through communion with the earth’s entheogenic plants, guided meditation, breathwork, sound baths, and other holistic practices, members seek to open channels of awareness and cultivate balance between body, heart, and mind. Each ceremony is approached with reverence, preparation, and care, allowing participants to experience healing, insight, and unity with all living things.
Our creed is one of remembrance: that every soul carries divine intelligence within it. By engaging these sacred tools respectfully and intentionally, we awaken deeper perception, empathy, and creativity. Soma invites each member to walk this path of conscious growth, integrating what is learned in ceremony into daily life, relationships, and service to others—so that wisdom gained in sacred space becomes light shared with the world.
