&.&.&.&&.. you can tap into the cave wherever you .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& go. with training, or with drugs... .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. some people are always like this. .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. the cave is built in, an intrinsic .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& animal part. it's come to be associated .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. with the lizards, and it's true that .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& they are very close to it in their .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. lives. but as long as youre an animal, .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& it's always there, changing shape with .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. you. .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. the mind is good at relativizing .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& things, placing them within its current .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. frame of reference. and the lizard .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& brain is good at absolutes. in the end, .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. the best and worst things are both .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& within hearing range. everything else .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. is forgotten. .&.&&.&.&.

&.&.&.&&.. everything is specific, and local. .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& there are no generalizations. there is .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. no object permanence. what you .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& experience is acute, ineffable, and you .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. need to act. every subsection of your .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& body has a consciousness and a voice. .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. everything you see can also see you, .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& through the pupil in your eye. the .&..&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.. stones are slippery. the air is inside .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& you. .&..&.&.&.
