No Where to Go But High: A Perspective on High Dimensional Expanders

"No Where to go but in" is a well known statement of Osho. Osho meant to say that the answers to all our questions should be obtained by looking into ourselves. In a paraphrase to Osho's statement we say "No Where to go but high".

It is also dedicated to the memory of my father Eliezer Kaufman.
