,&&,&,&,&, »  giving, because of course there is  » ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, no  real  geometry in the caves. you may ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, feel  as if  you are venturing into some ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, vast  structure, but  you  are  in  fact ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, leaving any such thing at  the entrance. ,&,&,&,&,&

,&&,&,&,&,     leaving physical tethers behind,     ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&,  submitting to an inescapable darkness,  ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, the  world  around you becomes more of a ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, manifestation   of  your   mind,   or  a ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, collective  mind,  with  a  shape  and a ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&,          direction and a taste.          ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&,                                          ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&,   inescapeable darkness, because if you  ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, bring  a   candle  or  mount  electrical ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, lights,   the  walls   only   serves  as ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, markers  to  where  the   tiny   spatial ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, existence ends and the darkness  beneath ,&,&,&,&,&

,&&,&,&,&, like an  inverted mandelbrot,  the  real ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&, cave  is actually not  the pockets,  but ,&,&,&,&,&
,&&,&,&,&, the  black  around them.  keep  that  in ,&,&,&,&,&
,,&,&,&,&,                  mind.                   ,&,&,&,&,&

,,&,&,&,&, amplified by  your mind.  try not  to be ,&,&,&,&,&
