I fucking love the fact that David promotes meditation but also equally promotes caffeine and tobacco. I think a lot of people who might be curious about the benefits of meditation get scared off because they feel like it HAS to be combined with a super healthy physical lifestyle, but this guy is a living example that you can do whatever the fuck you want.
David Lynch has been my unofficial guru during this quarantine.
It's nice to see David so engaged. I did TM for 4.5 years after seeing him push it so relentlessly, unfortunately I never got to experience anything close to what these two describe their first meditations as being. Throughout those 4.5 years I found the technique to be tedious and a chore, full of incessant thoughts, and never felt like I was making any progress or transcending in any way, and nothing my teacher suggested helped either. Eventually I gave up and switched to mindfulness/vipassana and have finally begun experiencing transcendent moments while meditating this past year, along with all the other benefits David mentions. Which is all to say, I completely agree everyone should meditate, but I don't approve of this notion stated by David so many times that TM is the only technique everyone should do and the only one that works - this claim to exclusivity is based in ignorance. If it works for you, great do go ahead and do it, but it might not and in that case don't bang your head against the wall for years like I did thinking it's your fault that it doesn't work, try something else. There are other incredibly effective techniques out there, both ancient and modern, and many of them are also accessible to less wealthy members of society (which TM isn't necessarily).
"I'm also busy trying to catch ideas.....yeah.." - David Lynch is the bestttt
I just love that twinkly thing David Lynch always does with his fingers to make his point, as if sprinkling magic dust over the thing he is trying to explain
i know the exact feeling David talks about with forgetting ideas. I've written music all my life and the amount of songs I've woke up in the night and heard in my head, then got up, figured out on guitar, play it with the lyrics i hear, and then go back to sleep thinking 'that's so good, i wont forget' then the next morning I can never remember how it went. devastating
I started TM this week after a decade of anxiety and misery and negativity. I can't believe I found something that works for me.
another word for love is affinity. we choose what we have affinity for, whether it's a person, what car to drive, what music to listen to, where to live etc
He has meditated at least 33,580 times and I can’t even focus on doing it once 🤦♂️
David Lynch is my grand wizard master. His words, his work, his wisdom helped me and will continue to help me throughout life
"coffee & cigarettes just go hand in hand" <3
What an amazing interview. I've heard many with David but in this one you've managed to break away from all of these cliche questions and he opened up more than usual I think. Good job, love this guy.
the jackhammer was just knockin' bliss into me :D
He seems like such a sweetheart. I love to hear him talk.
coffee and cigarettes are artful and do go hand and hand 👐🏻
wooooow, David usually looks like he can't wait for the interview to be over. He is so engaged with every question here, I love it!
Meditation has brought me closer to all religions and more empathy to the people I care for...🎑✨
Love your story Susie. So happy your here with us. You are truly a miracle, and inspiration. Keep up the amazing work. We love you!
Yes, the magic of capturing ideas. And the yellow pads.
I was convinced he was hanging upside-down when I started watching this. I'm four minutes in and I'm still not convinced
