#¨##¨###¨# you  can tap into the  cave wherever you #¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨#

##¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨ 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.              ¨¨#¨#¨#¨##
