Caves and introspection, walking hand and hand since forever. I suppose it should be no surprise, after all caves are the literal embodiment of looking inwardly. Stepping into darkness, the only light, is yours. Intention and intuition guide you along the slippery slopes as touch becomes sight…

Don’t believe me?! Here are a few quotes on introspection by some minds greater than mine. Thanks to GoodReads.com I can now seem scholarly, and I didn’t even have to leave the first page of results!


“When you see a good person, think of becoming like them. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points.” – Confucius

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes.” – C.G. Jung

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle


And for the final quote, I leave you with something from the brilliant mind of Philip K. Dick, “The problem with introspection is that it has no end.”

But to this I ask, is having no end a problem, or simply a truth?
