I attended a David Lynch Q&A earlier this year.

He spoke, as he usually does, about transcendental meditation and art. And I didn't hear anything that disturbed me. Most of what he was talking about was intuitionl, and becoming unself-conscious so that you are open to discovering great ideas.

But this...

This is something very, very different.

Lynch on the death of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi:

Interviewer: What does it mean to you that Maharishi is dead?

David: Well, Maharishi dropped his body. It's like a man is in a car and the car is old and the man gets out of the car and rolls the car into the water into a lake. Do we feel sorry for the man? The car is gone but the man is there. No problems for Maharishi. People are sad because that voice of wisdom is gone.

Interviewer: Do you consider yourself part of the TM Movement?

David: NO! I’m not in the movement, I’m a TM meditator, and you know, I have done lots of talks since I’ve heard about Maharishi’s peace creating groups and no one seemed to be listening. I’m not technically part of the movement. I’m just a person who knows what meditation has done for himself.
