- Where does David Lynch get all those ideas? Why is he so prolific over so many years-with iconic works of film, photography, music, and painting? And what’s the deal with meditation?
Ten years ago, a team of filmmakers followed David Lynch on a sixteen-country tour and documented a series of lectures and intimate interviews on Lynch's creative process and his relationship to Transcendental Meditation. The resulting footage has been compiled into a documentary entitled Meditation, Creativity, Peace.
About The David Lynch Foundation:
Since its launch almost ten years ago, the David Lynch Foundation - founded by the iconic filmmaker David Lynch - has already provided scholarships to teach Transcendental Meditation to more than 300,000 at-risk youth in underserved schools, veterans with post-traumatic stress (PTS), women who are survivors of domestic violence, and homeless and incarcerated individuals. DLF Live’s mission is to create incredible, one-night-only experiences with some of the most lauded creatives of our time, introducing music lovers around the world to the healing properties of meditation, and demonstrating how all populations can benefit from this timeless practice.
I am the girl who appears at 27:03! It is amazing to see this video after nearly a decade... what a memory: David Lynch telling me a story and holding my hand!

He seems like such a genuine person. I can't perceive an ounce of sarcasm or artistic obfuscation. He seems to genuinely seek the truth and want to share with people what has helped him. I really respect that.
yes, I think because he is from Montana!
yes totally right, quite wird within the artistic world full of egos
Judgement is the Yin to empathies Yang, they are both equally important in an individual imo. David Lynch is pure empathy, understanding, non judgmental, creative.... but is he balanced, or is he just idealistic? His perception of reality is important, it's always present, but because of the dualistic reality of the self, it only represents one perception. I still appreciate his perception, it's a cornerstone of who we are.
I see a lot of sarcasm. He used it in his every word. He isn't sarcastic in a condescending way, but with a light heart full of awakened light. He isnt nicr when he does get mad. He is very blunt and honest. I dont mind a person like that getting mad at or around me. I live in truth. No guess work and no deception
@@samtheeagle799 he can be very judgmental.
I just found this and I’m learning to not be such an angry person. Thanks David.
When you're angry you just hurt yourself.
The person or situation cannot feel it.
Only you & it's toxic energy
The world needs more healers and peacemakers like David Lynch
Fully agreed, we can be those things, me and you. 🌱☘🌳💚
Yes he has a bit of a Shaman quality to him and I have found mediation beneficial at times in my life sometimes I just like coffee and cigarettes and art like Lynch too though.
He is wide awake, when most of us are sleepwalking. What a beautiful mind he has.
Yes, and he is true.

David Lynch Foundation should be awarded the Nobel peace prize for peace in fact. UN should adopt TM to resolve its world conflicts.
What organisation wants to resolve its original purpose for 😉? If the whole world was united, what would be the point of having the organisation called the United Nations?
Such a genius... His hand gestures, his poise, the calm in his voice.. are hypnotic.
- not to mention his explanation of transcendental consciousness, which (perhaps intentionally) makes about as much sense as a scene in one of his movies. Also, the way he waxes philosophical about science and quantum physics is reminiscent of Borat waxing philosophical in one of his skits.
Arthur Hakhverdian and how do you get that from this?? Made perfect sense to me ...

My life has changed since I started practicing TM. Thank you David.
I started TM on 11/17/72. It kept me going thru difficult times I was experiencing at that time. It is no doubt the best the best thing I have ever done. Everything David says about the silent ocean within us is there and easily reached with the help of the mantra. It is hard to describe it in words. Once you experience it, you will know. All I can say is that it's wonderful, most wonderful thing you could ever hope for.

Do you want to just sit down, have a cup of coffee and talk with David. My vision of this conversation is one in which I would be listening more than talking but that the way it should be.
When I listen to him, I want to cry... And ask, why, what the hell is going on in the world?!! Why?!! You know so much! Answer me, please!!!
In this crazy scary world I hang on to every word you speak in hopes of finding relief from all of it.
❤️
I'm watching this with a great big smile on my face. His words feel like home. Such a pure soul and a wise unique man
I watch your introduction to transcendental meditation many years ago. Then about a year ago I watched Seinfeld on your foundation event explaining it and he totally sold that to me. Now I understand much more about this donut. I ve been trying it, and it seems hard in the beginning. I suffered from chronic depression since childhood and adhd. But i think it gives me energy and focus. I go to therapy and i hope everything together works to building a better self.
Thank you for all your effort to put TM out there and people to know about it.
Love,
Mai
What happens if you eat to much donut ?

I've found personally if u except all your emotions as they come to u and don't resist none of the negative emotions, you're truely at one with yourself and the world around u. except all that comes your way, embrace the frictions of life and u will see that its truely a blissful feeling. tranquel, exctasy, at one with everything.
nice thought but for me personally negativity dictates my life sadly. I am 27, driven by anger, depression and hatred and i dont know why and how i can stop it :(
Thinking you need to "stop it" is what is keeping it going. Accept your anger. love it. Listen to it. Even your anger, believe it or not, wants what is best for you. It is just hurt and maybe confused on what is truly best and how to get it.
I'm in no way in a position to give 'advice', but - personally - I think the key here is the notion of 'driven'. Maybe work on a personal experiment where you slowly dissipate the 'drive' part, without oposing the feelings in themselves. Let the feelings be, just step back and watch them unfold. Thoughts and feelings are streaming down like a river over us and it doesn't mean that all of them truly belong to us or that we are them.
Feel the way you feel, but don't let those negative or non-constructive aspects 'dictate' your actions. I'm sure it's easier said than done, but I'm thinking that since you are aware of those feelings, what they are, what you feel and that they 'drive' you (so you aknowledge that they make you act in certain ways that you otherwise, without said feelings, wouldn't act, right?), you are already in the position of trying this out.
And since you aknowledge those feels and the actions and maybe attitudes they give birth to, it means it bothers you enough, and that you know there is another way, to be, to act... and to feel. But until then, one must work on creating a mental framework, a mindset that they can return to - in *spite* of their (negative) feelings. I mean, you probably already do that, what do I know.
So the question (for me) would be: if you were to be driven by more 'positive' feelings, how would you act?
Also, of course, there's the issue of seeking out specialised help; the mind and brain have professionals dedicated to it just like there are to any other body part, organ or function. We can't know everything. And when something intereferes with a constructive, beneficial flow in your life, maybe it's time to make a visit. :)
Just my two cents, I figured it's neutral and/or harmless enough
@@kellerj0 If you adopt a daily habit that is good for you. And you don't let anything STOP you from doing that daily thing. You can use that resolve to your benefit.
not many people are genius but Mr. Lynch is definetly one...
Kudos to that brave Scotsman who brought up the fact of Dave's trip to Israel and how would transcendental meditation help the Palestinians on the other side of that whole mess. Kudos to David Lynch for lifting up the idea of ALL humans being able to benefit from transcendental meditation. Now this has shaken loose some brain cells for me in considering how one might begin to organize groups of people in such parts of the world as Palestine, Syria and elsewhere. Just think of what tremendous social change could occur with something like this. World peace might just eventually be possible, after all.
Thanks for giving credit to the INDIAN MAHARISHI HE LEARNT FROM... India been the country of yogis n realized enlightened beings for ages... From thousands of years.. Om namah Shivaya
One of the many that helped my life on a better more peaceful path 🧘🏽♀️
I was curious when I first clicked on this but had no intention of watching more than a minute or two. The film is so well made and listening to David speak was so interesting I wound up watching the entire film. I especially liked the way he spoke about the size and depth of one’s consciousness as it relates to the artistic process and creating art. Certainly a whole lot of food for thought here and so much to reflect on. Thank you for sharing this.
Back in May of '17, I had a free coupon to see any movie at a cinema here in Malmö, Sweden. At first I wanted to see an Indian movie, but they were only showing it in their bistro, and that cost extra. So I settled on "David Lynch: The Art Life". It not only inspire me to create more, but it also inspired me to google David. That lead me to this documentary, which lead me to want to learn TM.
In August that same year I found TM teachers and after attending a lecture I signed up instantly. After a lifetime of depression and anxiety, and years of trying different methods of therapy, I felt that this could be right. And it was.
During the first week many of my traumas started to get treated. Now 4 months into it, I can feel love and stop feeling distant to everything and everyone.
TM was the best help that I ever got.
Me too! TM is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Dodo Díaz reading this words from you makes my mind soul &heart smile, and to remember that we are simply sojourning here., us limited to only this narrow scope of the compass can remind me instead , .of how small my conscienceness is ., but instead, just examine and try to learn and take in soaking it all up as much as possible, and be grateful we are only taking everything In., in such small doses because it's like unfolding /comprehending chapters of a whole entire book paragraph by paragraph, page by page.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Mr. Lynch's amazing hair...
23 minutes in and i'm relaxing to the steady tones of his voice 😌 longtime David Lynch fan here
"Don't be afraid of failure."
David Lynch what a lovely human being.
Magda 13 doesn’t he seem like a self absorbed and very rude human being?
He did sing the Polanski petition, really fucked.
Thank you David Lynch.
Little his fans know of the Truth he's talking about. That's the magnetic power of the enlightened, people are drawn to them, trying to intellectually grasp his words but only having their attention held by the invisible inkling emanating from the Heart.
Thank you David Lynch...
He beams Lovingkindness in and out of every dimension
David Lynch you are a glorious man. Thanks for your words. I was de virginized today and the universe brought you into my existence. Thank you universe. I feel as jubilant as the day Alan Watts came into my life. Very necessary words of exuberance and freedom - sheer wisdom... Much love and thanks
48:55 The gentlemen at either side seemed a bit distracted, then bam, all of a sudden, they both turn to look at and listen to David speak, all the previous distractions evaporated. What a beautiful moment! Heart Sutra Qigong uses this same tool :)
Thanks for expressing this!
Always a pleasure to feel less lonely and feel a little love x ✌
I find it very interesting (and kind of puzzling) how Lynch greatly emphasises themes of suffering and the dark side of the human experience in his work, while actually having such a very positive outlook and mindset. It surprises me why somebody with such an attitude would produce such dark and disturbing content! On the other hand, even though it's often dark and "ugly", it's not only that, it's always balanced out somehow through elements of beauty and wonder (about this very suffering?) which give it the edge that makes it so special. That's the genius of his work imo; how continually the light within the dark is revealed and vice versa.
Bringing out beauty and wonder, a sense of lightness and humour in even the darkest places.
Still I find it somehow contradicts or renders questionable what he said about suffering and negativity completely lifting in that meditative state; if all that can, as he claims, be completely transcended, then why is it still being thematised and emphasised so much in his own work, as if to illustrate that it's completely inevitable? Or is it perhaps a pointing out that to transcend suffering, one has to also transcend the realms of perception we usually dwell in?
I get that he doesn't purposely and consciously picks out themes, but I still wonder how and why he ends up with them... I also get that he doesn't like being analysed, but you can't really help it... Damn you, Lynch.
21:38 about failures: "there's nowhere to go but up", and success "can be a nightmare"
What a prolific . Genuine artist, True Poetry in Motion. Such transcendental, visionary director. One of the best , in a9ll of the history of film.....Brave and uncensored....Bravo Mr DAVID LYNCH.;€
I’m listening to this everyday!
Thank you for sharing. I'm glad this is here so i may still experience it's glory 5 years later.
I like his “nothing’s impossible” attitude. That’s really helpful. Thank you for sharing this.
If you can join with the elites that is.
For how much would you sell your soul?
And i'm not talking about the biblical type of soul or something, as our God was made up by the Zionist elites.
I find this really good. But, everybody thinks their type of meditation is the shit. "Transend" doesn't mean the same thing to all people.
But I love this.
I have to tell you, something that shocked me after Mahesh spent hundreds of millions of years collecting donations for these World Peace Groups. To be honest, however, this answer was somehow in line with previous answers. When I asked him spiritual questions, he never answered more than offered in the seven steps. Or he started one of his hour-long discussions about Veda and human physiology. Finally, I began to understand that Mahesh did not really understand the spiritual process and that if I really wanted to be enlightened, I would better take responsibility for the process and choose people who had successfully enlightened others and who know what's going on is.
So I started reading and researching on the subject (which Maharishi told us to do, or we could be confused otherwise) and I talked to a lot of people and here's what I learned to be the most important:
1. Guru Dev has never given Mahesh spiritual instruction and never taught him to teach others. Rather, he told Mahesh he would never have anything to do with anything but material success.
A brilliant mind,an enlightened Spirit.
A big thank you David miyakomo and all the team I love this more than anything I have ever seen as a body of work JGD
Beautiful!!! Peace Plan is about removing negativity. All Govts must learn this first.- Peace Plan is about removing negativity. Peace Plan is not about negotiating about peace.
Glad this was put together. Lynch is a treasure.
A few days ago I mentioned David Lynch in conversation. I hadn’t said his name or thought about his movies in quite some time. That same day, I searched for Buddhism in prison and I came upon this channel. It’s hard to draw any sort of conclusion about this phenomenon. The more I watch for it, the more it seems to happen. Synchronicities and manifestations. I’m glad to see such a great mind takes meditative and spiritual practices so seriously as it’s still something I’m skeptical about, but slowly accepting.
it's the sign of a seeker. it means you're exploring; and that is the most beautiful thing someone can do.
59:13-1:00:02 metaphor is so on point! Love this man!
A MUST WATCH VIDEO.......
Lynch really is ONE OF A KIND
You can tell that he created this and that it wasn't someone that he hired to do it for him. :0) I LOVE YOU DL!!
I adore him.
Thank you David! The world needs more human beings like you.
Lost Highway is one of THE best pictures ever produced.
Enlightenment: The unfoldment of your full potential. What a beautiful definition! 🌹
Love you David!
I love to see how it switches to the audience, and you can notice people going deep inside their minds, relating to what he just said. Putting pieces together.

ENRICHING / ENLIGHTENING / EMPOWERING .......A MUST WATCH VIDEO.......
I was introduced to the name David Lynch today , where have i been ? He lives inside his mind , its just amazing ! I love the fact David knows ,when the ocean of ideas come , which ideas to pick from the flood ! A pleasure to view
another helpful key to understanding this is viewing everything besides consciousness as symbols. deep archetypal study of all religious text leads to gnosis, and let me tell you watching twin peaks with this understanding achieved is beyond real. david’s like the mad scientist of philosophers and i hold the utmost respect for the dude. one of history’s greatest alchemists is hiding in plain sight in hollywood :)
I have to say, this was a MOST enlightening video. It gives you new keys as to how to watch a David Lynch film .I found the comment starting at 40:57 onward to have quite a connection to the scene in TWIN PEAKS, THE RETURN,, where Nadine explains the whole idea of "shoveling out the shit" to Ed, and lets go of her hostile emotions and lets Ed go free to be with Norma.
Absolutely wonderful.
Fantastic, eccentric genius, in tune with the timeless dharma and many dimensions beyond modern conformity. And an affable, inspiring fellow on the job to boot.
I'm so excited to have come across this video. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful information. I can wait to start the Transcendental meditation. Love and Light to all ❤
Thank you very for uploading this truly inspiring video. It all comes together beautifully, Lynch' enthusiasm and allegories, his message and answers, the quotations (apart from that of Micah), the music.
Would have loved to see him in Ireland I cant believe I missed he is extremely inspirational.

I started TM back in June 1975, just before I graduated high school.
Thank's David thank's for all this concept , God bless you man!!!
Great video. Thanks for uploading!
Had a very 'Lynchian' experience with this - as I had fallen asleep whilst watching another video and UA-cam's autoplay feature started to play this whilst I was sleeping. The result was I was dreaming I was actually there with David and he was having a conversation with me personally about transcendental meditation and the field of unity, and I was trying to tell him about 'zero-point energy' out of which everything manifests......
The surreal bit was that we were both taking tea with Prince Charles - although since he is also apparently interested in meditation perhaps that isn't quite as surreal as it might seem......
Perhaps this was part of the unofficial tour in some parallel dimension!
thank you for uploading this!
Love.
Thank you David
Great to hear Donovan!
This has given me a lot to entertain, and it Definitely has left a positive impression on me. I hope that I one day can achieve the bliss he Clearly emits.
One thing that came to my mind, though, is when he spoke of Totality and the Biggest, the Smallest, etc. being the ultimate source of truth. It just reinforces that the notion that either we shall all wipe ourselves out, or do alright, but till now Ive only fealt that we would do well enough to achieve interstellar travel. Having listened to David about this matter, the latter now seems somewhat a small goal for Pure Consciousness, so now I think that one of the possibilities is humanity going extinct due to in-fighting, with the other one WIthout a doubt leading our species to achieving utopia.
Just beautiful
I love this man! I love this documentary!
He opened the door. I'm walking thru.
