Dreams and meditation by david

I really enjoyed Mulholland Drive, because it’s one of the best films to convey dream state to me. And I was wondering—do you find inspiration in dreams? And does the dream experience for you have anything in common with the meditation?

I hardly ever have gotten ideas from dreams. In Blue Velvet, I was really struggling with the script; I wrote four different drafts. And I had one problem with

The power of a peace-creating group by david

What, if anything, have you heard about meditational techniques being able to affect people or places outside of you—ones not directly connected to you?

This is such a beautiful question. And what you’re saying is the key, in my mind, to world peace—because we’re like light bulbs, and you have an effect on your environment. Just like a light bulb, you enjoy that light inside, and if you ramp

The light of unity, pure consciousness by david

Do you believe that there is an objectivity to good and evil? And when you talk about the oneness that’s there to be sought after in meditation, do you believe there is an objective quality to that?

This field of pure consciousness is a field of pure positive. And so when you start enlivening that, the darkness—negativity is just like darkness. And when you look at darkness, you see that it’s

Consciousness and the Unified Field by david

Can consciousness expand?

For many, many years, people thought the earth was flat, and if you walked in one direction on and on, you’d fall off. And all during that time, it was just as round as it is now. This Unified Field is there. If it was fifty years ago and somebody said, “There’s a field of unity,” the scientists would say, “You’re full of baloney.” But now they’ll say, “Yes, there

Meditation and motivation by david

What gives you motivation to create the characters in your movies?

What gives you motivation is: you catch an idea. And that idea has—it’s like a spark goes off; I guess that’s how come I use this light bulb. The light bulb goes off. And that light bulb has a thrill with it, and you see the idea, and you see those—that character. It may just be a fragment, but it holds so much promise. And it

Landing in a pool of consciousness by david

You keep on talking about this pool of consciousness and this place that you go inside. And I was wondering: Do you see anything when you’re there, visually? 

I’ll tell you the story of my first meditation. 

I had heard this phrase, “True happiness isn’t out there. True happiness lies within.” And I used to think about that phrase. And in this phrase, they don’t tell you where the “within”

The film's message by david

What message are you sending in your films?

They say if you want to send a message, go to Western Union.

Ideas are their own thing.

And those stories and those characters came from ideas.

Transcendental Meditation and catching ideas by david

In several of your last films, particularly Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive and Fire Walk with Me, for me personally, it seems like there are a lot of underlying themes concerning Transcendental Meditation within the characters and such. And I was wondering: as you personally dive farther into TM, can we expect to see more abstract themes inherent in some of the later David Lynch films come

Transcendental Meditation and inspiration by david

Do you happen to have any meditational techniques conducive for invoking inspiration or general creativity? And if so, what is it?

You know, meditation is that thing that takes you within. And if you go all the way in, you experience this ocean of pure consciousness, or as modern science says, the Unified Field—oneness, pure bliss consciousness. And that is also a field of pure creativity. Vedic

The beauty of Transcendental Meditation by david

First of all, when you were young, did you find that you’d second-guess yourself a lot more? Now that you’re older, do you find that you don’t second-guess yourself as much on artistic ideas? Like I totally understand when you do this, that there’s an idea floating off there.

And I also what to ask: I don’t think that there’s a lot of people in Hollywood who understand what you do. And I
