I love when he was talking about not making it stressful or being mean on set because then those people will go home and their children will sense all that and they will be sad and their home life will struggle. That’s so incredibly considerate and lovely.
Dude was a raging lunatic at every production he ever directed. Still no one ever walked from one anything else but entranced and in love with him. RIP you glorious freak.
truly. i never realized that he was such a sensitive empath ... Haven't seen Twin Peaks since my parents watched it. I loved how weird it was as a kid, and I adore the soundtrack, so I think I have a journey ahead. Blue Velvet was nuts in the best way but I'm a new fish.
His birthday and the inauguration of Donald Trump were at the same day. I am so happy that David didn't have to watch this freak show. (but maybe it would have inspired him for a really dark painting) RIP
@MutualAlchemist85 That is super cool 😎 👌 ❤❤❤❤ I am a Yoga Teacher and Rock musician ✨️ 🎶 ❤ I feel like David Lynch is a kindred spirit that I never met in person but now I can feel him in spirit if I meditate 🧘♀️ ❤️ Ask him for support ❤ I know he is directing us from heaven now ❤😊
it's the producer and studios fault and tho his dune is a mess I do not care about the one by overrated over worshipped Villeneuve def don't care about overrated Dylan dude and oh whatever enjoy what y'all want
Yes. It’s super important to support and see great artists while they are alive. I reflect back on my life and think about all the great people I saw that are no longer here. I saw or met people like, Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, Alan Ginsburg, Paul Newman, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones and so many more that altered me. Get out there! Participate in the real world!
@@benbishop1131 In my 45 years I’ve seen a lot of shit in reality and in art. David’s work is something extraordinary and very rare. It’s honestly hard to put into words, because so much is guided by his heart and feeling. He strolls peacefully on the thinnest line of pure wholesome, loving appreciatiion and complete madness and surrealism. Just like the chaotic nature of our universe.
I literally watched john wick 4 in 4k the other day. I dont think youtube gives a fuck anymore. Its only if you directly try to earn from it then its a problem for them.
@ there was a 1080p version that was uploaded a day before this one was uploaded that was taken down, i just like to download stuff so i always have access to it
@@ay8987 yeah, Bowie died and he wanted him in the twin peaks return. So he turned him into some type of gasseous state and Bowies character is still in the series! -Lynch transcends man! He can do whatever he wants.
as former military, Im very keen on the ability to daydream due to standing insanely long watches. Now I'm at the point in my life where I want to channel that into something that serves me for once, instead of someone else.
I recall hearing that Tolkien used to write letters to himself during WW1, from the perspective of the characters of Middle-Earth cheering him on. You, too, can surely create great works like him!
I didn't think his death would hit me so hard. There are many talented young directors out there but they get lost in the sea of bullshit that spews out of big studios these days, and David Lynch to me is a reminder that we need to go see weird stuff, to watch things and discuss things that make us reevaluate our preconceptions of how the world is and works. He makes me want to create stuff, not necessarily for money and fame, but simply because creation is within each and every one of us, and some would have us believe that only the elite can pretend to creativity. I hope he knew he inspired so many people and that he and his work were loved.
He made me realize that every one of us has a talent or ability. It's utilizing it and bringing it together for the benefit of mankind. Only then we can propel our civilization forward and become a better society.
I’ve been thinking that all day today too - about how his death is affecting more than I would have anticipated. Btw everybody thinks of his movies but his music is so damn good, have you heard any of it?
Because it's not just a great creative mind has passed, it also marks the end of an era, imo. The era of visionaries and the weird and the bizarre. We don't get people like Lynch anymore, someone who's not just a director, he was involved personally with every aspect of filmmaking, and he was a painter, an animator, a composer. It wasn't just a job or a contract for him. Worst part is knowing this void will not be filled.
I've never mourned someone I didn't know for so long and so intensely. His work was so psychological and personal that it feels like losing a best friend. God bless whomever uploaded this wonderful video. I get to see my friend for a few hours longer
I don't know how I attracted David Lynch into my consciousness, he just magically appeared long after watching Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and Dune. Ever since he came into frame, only after then did I come to know so much more about him. Legend.
Duuude. You got an alien avatar, call yerself Crowlee and are into Herr Lynch - why do you 'mourn' him? Be more like him, and celebrate what he tries to spread! Go Do It!! Enjoy!
There was an assumption within me that I would meet David Lynch somehow one of these days. I was looking forward to smoking a cigarette with him. This video is a gift and I feel like I can really connect to his spirit and frequency now. He will keep on living within many creative weirdos, talking to us in his slow way when we question our artistic process. Thank you
If you've stumbled on this video and made a note to watch it later I suggest you to up the urgency by two magnitudes. This 3 hours is incredibly worthwhile and i believe youtube will soon take this down, due to the copyright but also the nudity
@@LuckERadio Claims that can’t be proven aren’t worth the time it takes to make them. Pretending a connection between real emotion to supernatural nonsense is nothing more than an egotistical lie. People constantly doing so only suggests people are a combination of desperate and ignorant.
@@hairlessmonkey2240 To take a statement such as the one above so literally is absurd. David Lynch didn't rise from the dead, but you've definitely seen his face and heard the messages he was trying to relay way more often than you did prior to his passing.

4:28 Gurdjieff has talked about a plane of reality comprised of knowledge that people can tap into but many do not, cannot, because they are busy with the games of the ego, which meditation can break down. Einstein said he didn't come up with his theory of relativity using his rational mind. In other words: he pulled it from this plane of knowledge, or rather it came to him when he needed it, much like what Lynch is describing. Meditation is one way to tap into this plane and become a vessel for ideas. Lynch is first and foremost a kind of esoteric yogi, films are just the outlet of his practice because at the end of the day, we all have to be someone.
There’s something about David Lynch that is so accessible, which is funny because so much of his work are the opposite. It’s like listening to your favorite teacher or relative give their honest advice. Whoever got to work with him are some of the luckiest people in the world.
which is anything but basic, so I appreciate how hard this was to convert to dumb ol' english, if that makes sense.

I do believe that meditation significantly helped David Lynch, and he inspired me to try an official Transcendental Meditation workshop back in 2010. However, after this experience, I came to a different conclusion: you don’t need an official (and often expensive) workshop to meditate effectively. Meditation is simple and accessible to everyone, without the need for a €250 course filled with outdated Maharishi videos and a ‘special’ personal mantra. That said, meditation can indeed help with stress and anxiety, but it’s important to note that if you’re dealing with depression, professional therapy or counseling should not be avoided. Meditation can be a great supplement, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Thank you for uploading this masterclass. What an incredible human and exceptional creator-arguably one of the greatest cultural influencers of the past 50 years. For me, certainly. My journey toward individuation could not have happened without his weirdness and enigmatic, dark films.
He was so enthusiastic about meditation in a video I saw years ago. I just had to try it and I'm glad I did. Nothing fancy, just picked up tips here and there. My daughter actually paid for TM years later. I was skeptical but it's fine - she's very happy with it and I see it working for her, same as mine works for me. 🥰
@@angelagilmartin2109I’m far from an expert, but my personal experience would recommend avoiding any official workshops or anything like that and just start meditating. A good book on it is “Still the Mind,” by Alan Watts, or “Meditation is Not What You Think,” by Jon Kabat-Zinn. At its most basic, meditation begins as learning to sit still and give your mind space. Let your mind think and think, but keep breathing through it and reminding yourself to be present so that you don’t follow your mind down every rabbit-hole it naturally wants to go down. It can be frustrating, can feel useless, but you’re likely to come away from it feeling a little bit reset, with a little more mental space and mental peace, especially the more you do it. Some people aren’t still all day unless they’re showering or sleeping, which is why those times are when a lot of people say they do their thinking or struggle to fall asleep. If you learn to sit still with your mind and be present for awhile in a day aside from those small times like that, it can feel so wonderful for your head 😁
I personally get more out of transcendental meditation than I do mindfulness meditation. I understand the fee is a pain point, but the teachers do need to be paid since it is their full-time job.
@@angelagilmartin2109 no, it’s not a pyramid scheme. You pay the fee and have what should be international access to transcendental meditation teachers for the rest of your life, including group meditation sessions (both online and in person) and refresher courses if you fall out of practice. There are higher levels of meditation that you can pay to learn, but in the year since I learned, I have not been pressured to purchase or been sent advertisements for these courses. At the end of the day, these TM teachers are doing this as their full-time job, so they need financial compensation. There are some totally free meditation apps out there, shout out to Medito, but most of them also have in-app purchases, or meditations on UA-cam might have advertisements… I don’t see any compelling reasoning for TM to be completely free that jives well with the fact that we live in a capitalist world and need money to survive.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Trying to describe some of my abstract paintings, videos, sound art etc is so difficult as it’s almost entirely intuitive. Lynch articulates this side of art and the creative process so wonderfully; and SIMPLY. So grateful for his works. RIP ❤
About an hour in, when he’s watching ‘Its a wonderful life’ listening to his voice break says everything about this wonderful human being ❤ and like he said, I believe this man was truely gifted in seeing the souls of people
“Thrilling to the soul”. He expressed the art process and feeling so eloquently, so simply. You fall in love that’s it. Brilliant advice. Brilliant artist. ❤
Thank you so much for giving us three hours of DL talking about nothing but the work. I could listen to him do this all day. He left us so much wonderful art, and I look forward to a deeper exploration of what he gave us. I'm so sad, but I'm also so grateful.
He started transcendental meditation a month and one day before I was born. And he was born the same year as my mom. I learned about him from my brother who had seen Blue Velvet. Then later on, we watched Twin Peaks on the TV when I was around 16-17. Amazing man. He surely will be missed.
I loved the man with all my heart. Love the feelings I enter when I watch his work. I also adore how his movies are as dreamy as his way of ‘catching ideas’ is. It’s like Lynch loved to spend time in the same universe where his movies take place. He has left behind such a great amount of love and pure bliss, that is impossible not to be moved to tears when thinking about him. No other artist ever, maybe only Frida Kahlo, has that effect on me. No one else.
So großartig. Allein schon diese drei Stunden lohnen, dass man Englisch versteht oder lernt. Und das Wichtigste kommt ganz zum Schluss.😉 Ich meditiere mit Hilfe von TM täglich, morgens und spätnachmittags, seit 57 Jahren - und kann jedes Wort von David nur unterschreiben.
I'm five minutes in, and after having been in a creative funk for quite some time, I'm suddenly feeling inspired again. The muse has been crawling back to me in bits and pieces the last few months, after a long drought. But this is already bringing me back to myself. The fishing analogy resonates with me deeply. This is a very Zem sort of video, in a way. Lunch and Rick Rubin remind me of each other a great deal. I suddenly feel much more whole right now. And inspired.
Thank you so much. Best wishes to all gathered here, perfect health and happiness to you all oriented to good deeds; Rest in Peace Mr. Lynch, see you in the afterlife
In my mind, the fishing is done at night by maidens who plung their arms into a deep pond of fresh water. Under the moonlight they catch glimpses of golden carps, slivering in silent waters.
I feel the same, I try to avoid sorrow, but it hits me hard right now, because of how beautiful person David Lynch was. His life was beautiful, it warms me up, calms me down. I wish the very best for his family and loved ones, look at a donut, not on a hole.
One of the finest and kindest men that has ever walked this earth. His works have affected me in ways I didn’t think would be possible with film. Rest in peace Mr. Lynch.
Even the cadence of his speech sounds like he's channeling something from another place. Such a visionary. Very sad he's passed but the great thing with prolific artists is the work lives on in the consciousness of others
There's a lot here I'd already head David say in other places, and that's 100% fine. He's consistent and I super appreciate that. But my one single take away from all 3 hours of this is that I'd have loved to just hang out and watch movies with him and talk about em.
He has this most beautiful cadence when he reminisces. It's almost like listening to Dr Seuss poems - deeply soothing and engaging. What a great gift to the world he was.
David Lynch, I read, speaks like an open book to read through and through, and through to no end, but I find it bores me. I may find it again if the gears shift more to tend to it.
The quiet joys and peace of prayer has been free and open to all - since time began. It’s because we have an innate desire to connect with our loving God.
I'm a big fan. How his meditation practice informs his perspective is even more clear in this video. David was a unique and uncompromising visionary and it shows in his work. Thankyou very much for uploading. I feel inspired!
Even his death is a gift. I'm now learning so much more about him and from him now that he died because I want to have his wisdom and his beautiful and funky mind close to me. All of these great minds were a gift to us during their lives and after their death. He transcended ;) and ...party time.
This is fantastic. Was up 'till 4am watching DL clips of interviews last night. Just couldn't stop. I woke up at 8:20am from the alarm clock and this was on my recommendeds. I actually have Masterclass and never knew DL did one. Keeping in mind DL's idea of where ideas come from, the fish, etc. this is perfect. Because I have a deadline for a short film due on 1/31 and needed inspiration. Here it is. As a side note, I noticed in the Blue Velvet clip that I had that same car! A '71 burgundy convertible Buick with white top and interior. I totally forgot, is that Frank Booth's car or Jeffery's in the movie? Rest in Peace, David.
Good Lord… I just started a live unscripted improvised performance art TV series locally. Of course I am a huge fan of David’s and I recall Picasso saying“ great artist,steal, good artists copy “I don’t know about that. All I know is this is highly inspirational! Thank you.

Don't look it up. It'll be more fun that way.

Today is January 20, 2025. It would have been David Lynch's 79th birthday. A global meditation happens at 12 noon PST and 3pm EST. RIP great artist.
Damn, he passed right before his bday:(
Was super glad to participate in the meditation with everyone that did! Let’s keep it up 💫💫❤️❤️🙌🙏

It's odd that some Lynch fans want to ignore the artist's meditation practice. It's the core of all this work.
We just want ears cut off and Dune-1984 😆 🤣 😂 😹.
Frr, it’s an excellent tool for expanding ideas
He goes further than that. He tells you who you are - pure consciousness. The ego doesn't want to hear it :)

A surreal Mr. Rogers for adults. Love this man.
How amazing that we were all alive while David Lynch was at work. Can't buy that. Thanks for this upload! David really lights up my soul.
I was thinking about that earlier this morning.... We got to discover his films and then him.... Just wonderful,.
Wow never thought about like that.

There are some totally free meditation apps out there, shout out to Medito, but most of them also have in-app purchases, or meditations on UA-cam might have advertisements… I don’t see any compelling reasoning for TM to be completely free that jives well with the fact that we live in a capitalist world and need money to survive.
This is the best Masterclass I've ever had. Thank you Mr. Lynch for all your knowledge. RIP for eternity!
been waiting to watch this for years. Rest in peace to the maestro.
Lost Highway and Blue Velvet were my favorite films from David Lynch.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Trying to describe some of my abstract paintings, videos, sound art etc is so difficult as it’s almost entirely intuitive.
Lynch articulates this side of art and the creative process so wonderfully; and SIMPLY.
So grateful for his works. RIP ❤
what a privilege to watch this man talk
About an hour in, when he’s watching ‘Its a wonderful life’ listening to his voice break says everything about this wonderful human being ❤ and like he said, I believe this man was truely gifted in seeing the souls of people
We’re so lucky he left us this much advice and a glimpse into his genius process
Thank you for the upload rip the legend David Lynch.
This man was an absolute legend. Rest in peace, Mr. Lynch. Thank you for catching so many brilliant ideas to show us.
RIP: David Lynch
His work compelled me to look for the art, music, and movies that I enjoyed. For that I will forever be grateful.
“Thrilling to the soul”. He expressed the art process and feeling so eloquently, so simply. You fall in love that’s it. Brilliant advice. Brilliant artist. ❤
possibly the most loved famous person on the planet. a huge loss to the world, i hope we can recover
2nd only to Ernest from the Ernest movies, of course.
The hole David has left is immense, but we just gotta focus on the donut :`)
Idk why this is one of the only guys I can listen to at regular speed lol
Thank you so much for giving us three hours of DL talking about nothing but the work. I could listen to him do this all day. He left us so much wonderful art, and I look forward to a deeper exploration of what he gave us. I'm so sad, but I'm also so grateful.
Lynch and Ray Bradbury are the best. So glad their work can be with us for the rest of our lives, though we always wish for more.
He started transcendental meditation a month and one day before I was born. And he was born the same year as my mom. I learned about him from my brother who had seen Blue Velvet. Then later on, we watched Twin Peaks on the TV when I was around 16-17. Amazing man. He surely will be missed.
January 20 will be David Lynch day from now on!
lol😄
Fly high, David, and thank you. May wherever you are have beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way. ❤💔
Through the darkness of future past, the magician wants to see.
One chants out between two worlds....
Fire, walk with me.
This kind of people are as rare as golden sand. RIP master.
I loved the man with all my heart. Love the feelings I enter when I watch his work. I also adore how his movies are as dreamy as his way of ‘catching ideas’ is. It’s like Lynch loved to spend time in the same universe where his movies take place. He has left behind such a great amount of love and pure bliss, that is impossible not to be moved to tears when thinking about him. No other artist ever, maybe only Frida Kahlo, has that effect on me. No one else.
So großartig. Allein schon diese drei Stunden lohnen, dass man Englisch versteht oder lernt.
Und das Wichtigste kommt ganz zum Schluss.😉
Ich meditiere mit Hilfe von TM täglich, morgens und spätnachmittags, seit 57 Jahren - und kann jedes Wort von David nur unterschreiben.
I'm five minutes in, and after having been in a creative funk for quite some time, I'm suddenly feeling inspired again.
The muse has been crawling back to me in bits and pieces the last few months, after a long drought. But this is already bringing me back to myself.
The fishing analogy resonates with me deeply.
This is a very Zem sort of video, in a way.
Lunch and Rick Rubin remind me of each other a great deal.
I suddenly feel much more whole right now. And inspired.
Thank you so much. Best wishes to all gathered here, perfect health and happiness to you all oriented to good deeds; Rest in Peace Mr. Lynch, see you in the afterlife
He was a wonderful uncompromising artist. Thanks for uploading this
I love the way he wiggles his fingers ☺️
In my mind, the fishing is done at night by maidens who plung their arms into a deep pond of fresh water. Under the moonlight they catch glimpses of golden carps, slivering in silent waters.
this is one of the most beautiful comments i've read
wait, wow
this hilarious genius is inspiring me to get back to meditation
can't watch this yet, already crying under two minutes, but thank you for uploading.
I feel the same, I try to avoid sorrow, but it hits me hard right now, because of how beautiful person David Lynch was. His life was beautiful, it warms me up, calms me down. I wish the very best for his family and loved ones, look at a donut, not on a hole.
it's not the same, but you can copy/paste the transcript - may be a bit more digestible for the next few months. I feel you
One of the finest and kindest men that has ever walked this earth. His works have affected me in ways I didn’t think would be possible with film. Rest in peace Mr. Lynch.
please dont ever take this down PLEASE
im surprised MC has let it stay up this long already
I wish he could live for 500 years. I am still in disbelief that he is dead. I am more than sad.
Same, already missing him terribly.
Same, though Lynch himself said he loved smoking but the price he paid was emphysema.
He had a lot of agency in his own passing, sadly.
I feel exactly the same way.
@@dazzlingvastness2528 🖤
He is not dead. David Lynch cannot die.
what a precious mind he had
Thank you for uploading this. David Lynch will be missed.
Immediately downloaded for posterity. Thank you for sharing this, very important material.
Hello, I’m unable to download this until much later. I’m afraid it will be taken down soon, would you be willing to send me the file somehow?
@@TylerMalmI downloaded it, I'll upload it to google drive and send it to you. What is your email ?
@TylerMalm i can do it, would telegram be okay?
@@softmachine1894 hi, I appreciate you offering to do that! I was able to download it after work though so false alarm, thanks again!
Dude loved his fish!
Even the cadence of his speech sounds like he's channeling something from another place. Such a visionary. Very sad he's passed but the great thing with prolific artists is the work lives on in the consciousness of others
There's a lot here I'd already head David say in other places, and that's 100% fine. He's consistent and I super appreciate that. But my one single take away from all 3 hours of this is that I'd have loved to just hang out and watch movies with him and talk about em.
The moment Lynch talks about the diner you understand his level of consciousness and awareness. Man freestyles all that detail without hesitation.
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing!
came here to say this ^^^
He has this most beautiful cadence when he reminisces. It's almost like listening to Dr Seuss poems - deeply soothing and engaging.
What a great gift to the world he was.
i absolutely love that the final line in this is: "party time!" RIP David Lynch.
David Lynch, I read, speaks like an open book to read through and through, and through to no end, but I find it bores me. I may find it again if the gears shift more to tend to it.
Interesting take.
This guy helped save my life
An actual gold mine
So much Gratitude for this inspiring share.... Shine on Infinite Spirit!!!
I cAn now channel the great spirit of Mr. Lynch
Quite possibly the greatest of them all.
UA-cam's best video.
his way of explaining how to work with actors is 10/10
Saturday night, 4 am, I'm here watching all your backstage and then, ended here.
You will be forever missing Mr Lynch, no one like you.
Same here. Listening to good music. Now ending the night with lynch.
Me as well fellow traveles. Take care all, I still can't believe Lynch is gone.
It was so inspiring, dreaming and so much fun! Dear dear wonderful David Lynch! Dream on dreamboy. Long live the arts!
One damn beautiful human being! Grateful to have come across his consciousness. 🌱
Oh cool, love the way he describes things
I wish I would have met you, David. Now you're on the next stage to do greater things.
The quiet joys and peace of prayer has been free and open to all - since time began. It’s because we have an innate desire to connect with our loving God.
Amen Brother 🙏🏻
A sage of wisdom in the dark forest of art
I'm a big fan. How his meditation practice informs his perspective is even more clear in this video. David was a unique and uncompromising visionary and it shows in his work. Thankyou very much for uploading. I feel inspired!
Thank you for this upload. Amazing advice to creative minds out there. Lynch had it right.
Thank you so, so much, this is gold✨✨✨
There won’t be anything like his work released in our lifetimes again. One day there’ll be a renaissance but it won’t be in the next 50 yrs.
Even his death is a gift. I'm now learning so much more about him and from him now that he died because I want to have his wisdom and his beautiful and funky mind close to me. All of these great minds were a gift to us during their lives and after their death. He transcended ;) and ...party time.
thank you so much for the upload. hope it stays online forever but i made a backup just in case
This is fantastic. Was up 'till 4am watching DL clips of interviews last night. Just couldn't stop. I woke up at 8:20am from the alarm clock and this was on my recommendeds. I actually have Masterclass and never knew DL did one.
Keeping in mind DL's idea of where ideas come from, the fish, etc. this is perfect. Because I have a deadline for a short film due on 1/31 and needed inspiration. Here it is.
As a side note, I noticed in the Blue Velvet clip that I had that same car! A '71 burgundy convertible Buick with white top and interior. I totally forgot, is that Frank Booth's car or Jeffery's in the movie?
Rest in Peace, David.
Good Lord… I just started a live unscripted improvised performance art TV series locally. Of course I am a huge fan of David’s and I recall Picasso saying“ great artist,steal, good artists copy “I don’t know about that. All I know is this is highly inspirational! Thank you.
