<description><![CDATA[When I listen to you talk about Transcendental Meditation, I like everything about it. But I am a devout Christian, and Transcendental Meditation comes from a tradition totally different from Christianity&mdash;Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a Hindu monk. I feel I&rsquo;m ready to learn TM, but I can do it only I reconcile it with my beliefs. I was raised Presbyterian. I respect people who are religious, and I think they find something there that&rsquo;s beautiful. There&rsquo;s truth there [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most of your movies are full of negativity, violence&mdash;the more shadowy things in life. And yet you promote Transcendental Meditation, which seems to give you so much bliss. How are these opposites reconciled in your mind? There are many, many dark things flowing around in this world now, and most films reflect the world in which we live. They&rsquo;re stories. Stories are always going to have conflict. They&rsquo;re going to have highs and lows, and good and bad. I fall in  [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s easy to speak about success through Transcendental Meditation when you are a successful movie director. Do you mean to say that people who practice TM never fail? You have to learn to find balance in success and failure. Success can kill you just as failure can. And the only way to have balance in success and failure is to function on that Unified Field level. There&rsquo;s your friend. You can&rsquo;t fake it&mdash;you&rsquo;re either in that field or you&rsquo;re not. And  [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You sound like a very responsible person, socially involved and aware of the needs of others. But you speak a lot about meditation, and I used to think that meditation is a way to achieve personal peace by withdrawing from the world, from other people, by dodging our responsibility towards each other and the society.

<description><![CDATA[The David Lynch Foundation advocates &ldquo;world peace,&rdquo; and it seems you are planning to achieve it through Transcendental Meditation. I know so many people who would find the very idea of world peace ridiculous. What would you say to them? People are so convinced we can&rsquo;t have peace that it&rsquo;s s joke now.

<description><![CDATA[How does Transcendental Meditation get rid of negativity? Picture it this way. You are the Empire State Building. You&rsquo;ve got hundreds of rooms. And in those rooms, there&rsquo;s a lot of junk. And you put all that junk there. Now you take this elevator, which is going to be the dive within.

This Transcendental Meditation is what I employ. And you&rsquo;re given a mantra, which is a specific sound-vibration-thought, and the mantra is the vehicle. The mantra turns the mind within.

<description><![CDATA[Do ideas just pop into your head full blown and you just go with them?   One summer day, I was at a laboratory called Consolidated Film Industries in Los Angeles. We were editing the pilot for Twin Peaks and had finished for the day. It was around six-thirty in the evening and we had gone outside. There were cars in the paring lot.

<description><![CDATA[I learned Transcendental Meditation recently, but I find it difficult to practice it on campus, where no one understands what I&rsquo;m doing. Is it worth it? We&rsquo;re like lightbulbs. If bliss starts growing inside you, it&rsquo;s like a light; it affects the environment.

<description><![CDATA[How real is all this talk about transcendental bliss? It might be just your own personal experience, something purely subjective, don&#39;t you think? Scientifically, more and more is coming out to show that transcending is real and its benefits are real. By measuring EEG patterns in brain research, they can prove that someone is transcending; they can prove that the person is experiencing a fourth state of consciousness&mdash;the other three being waking, sleeping, and dreaming.

Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way we make heads or tails of it is through intuition. Intuition is seeing the solution&mdash;seeing it, knowing it.
