Back to the beginning: the cave

[Aegon]

Fun fact: I dabbled in Hinduism for a couple years. I credit the corresponding meditation practice for bringing me the clarity to realize that I was drawn to the religion more for its symbolism and philosophical elements than actual belief in the deities I was supposed to be worshipping. I guess it's one of the rare cases where chanting a god's name leads to disbelief in that god.

The philosophies of Taoism and Zen are the backbone to my current beliefs. Hinduism, a tad, on a smaller scale. Stoicism as well, I guess, but not relevant to the discussion)
