 traditional underground "troglodyte" structures.

matmata
        The origin of this extraordinary place is not known, except from tales carried from generation to generation.
In any case, the underground settlements remained hidden in very hostile area for centuries, and no one had any knowledge of their existence until 1967.
You may have seen some of these houses featured in Star wars :)

look inside yourself

                 "All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.  I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. 
                I was naïve.  I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.  
               It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with:  that I am nobody but myself.  "
~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"

There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
