David Lynch's Guru and His Art

Thank you for your article. But handled under the faith / religion section misses one of the key points, and most misunderstood, of Maharishi's teaching: TM is not a faith nor a religion; it is a technique. The technique works without faith just as surely as brushing your teeth makes them cleaner.

Try it, you'll like it.

Thanks for running this piece. its so important for us to get a glimpse, a reminder, of the spiritual reality...
and David Lynch is brilliant and cool.

strange cat, the Lynch...

it's a shame someone as talented and intelligent as lynch could fall for such ignorant superstition.

Isn't anything to do with faith, spirituality or "ultimate truth" ignorant superstition?

Those who dream of world peace and inner peace (even secretly) should visit Fairfield Iowa where several thousand practice Maharishi's TM Technique twice a day and live along side local midwest natives to create a community rich in the arts and entrepreneurial spirit and a safe environment in which to raise a family. I arrived in 1974 bringing a car load of students on my way to Calif. I had recently learned TM at an east coast Catholic college in an eastern philosophy course taught by a Protestant minister. I became curious of the social experiment which was about to unfold (east meets west), stayed and became a TM teacher, went to grad school, worked in industry, brought my family here in'86, created three businesses and have enjoyed being part of a unique community. Thank you Maharishi

David Lynch likes to go fishing..umm.. for ideas.
Except he says: "I always say ideas are like fishing (instead of like fish). Oh well. Here it is:

*Mulholland Drive* was a perfect movie.
Many thanks Dear David Lynch.
Naomi Watts was super as well.
I could understand after four repeat.

Oooopssssadaisy.

Important: O.U.R. Father [A.E.] & Prophet of the "Holy Cosmic Feelers Faith" [Ho-Co-Fe-Fa] via O.U.R. "ONE UNIVERSAL RELIGION BOOK OF TRANSFINITY [OUR-BOT] had investigated 'Buddhism" Philosophy & Practice & found it to be PRE-APOCALYPOTIC & somewhat Primitive, but Better than All the Other Jewish (of which he was of) faith & the Christian Faith & the Islamic Faith & also the Hindu faith Man-Made (zero ECLAT made) "COMPETING" (for Asperants/Money) Systems!

Maharishi was a beautiful soul who walked the earth to bring the world peace and prosperity by bringing the individual enlightenment.

Maharishi's gift to the world, Transcendental Meditation, allows the mind to settle down, transcend the relative, and experience the absolute. Some might say to find the God within.

Once experienced, pure knowledge is gained. Practiced every day, the enlightenment of the saints.

I will miss Maharishi's talks. Maharishi and his gift will always be with me.

Jeepers. If I had one apolitical, agnostic role model in my life, it was Mr. Lynch. I am surprised he has such devotion to something that I had always considered just another crackpot philosophy that helps people pass the time between drug-induced nervous breakdowns. However, if his beliefs helped Mr. Lynch make films so wonderful and diverse as Eraserhead, Dune, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, then who I am to judge? I just wonder whether Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ever saw his films.

Keep up the disturbing work, Mr. Lynch. The world is far more disturbed that you could ever portray it.

Ahhh... JJ's just havin' a bad day. His boy Mitt just dropped out of the race.

That being said, I'm a proud member of the Lynch Mob and a huge fan of Twin Peaks. Lynch is a strange one, but he's definitely a man of peace.

Yes, "JJ" is having a bad day...

because I NAILED him.

That and Mitt dropped out, because Mitt Romney was a fraud and the rest of the country couldn't stomach him.

Church of the New Song (CONS)
1465 Exeter Rd.
Bluffs, IL 62621

The Church of the New Song emerged in 1970 as an expression of a new rights movement among residents of penitentiaries in the United States. It was begun by Bishop Harry W. Theriault, a convicted bank robber, in the federal prison at Atlanta, Georgia. The name of the church refers to the new song mentioned in Revelation 5:9 and 14:3, which church members believe is the sound of the new era, and also the new song being sung by the youth. Theriault, his co-founder Jerry M. Dorrough, and others began immediately to agitate for recognition within the prison system. In February 1972 a federal court recognized the church as a legitimate body, and ordered prison officials to permit it to meet and hold services. After that decision the church spread rapidly and became the focus of controversy. It was accused of causing a work strike at San Quentin, and its sincerity was questioned because of a claimed specification that porterhouse steak and Harvey' s Bristol Cream were its communion elements. Theriault was soon transferred to the federal prison at La Tuna, Texas.

According to the church, " Eclat" is the " new name" of the divinity referred to in Revelation 3:2, thus the church is also termed the Eclatarian Movement. Eclatarianity is the highest fulfillment of Christian prophecy. The end of the Christian era, the era of grace, is the beginning of the Eclat era. The church considers the American governmental and bureaucratic system to be so corrupt that there is no more time for grace. The message of the Church of the New Song is the word of life. The Law of Nature is to act and have power. " Eclat is the Light and the deed is love; if you seek the Light, do the deed." Man' s basic needs are said to be shelter, food, and someone to love. When these have been attained, men should busy themselves helping others attain their basic needs. The teachings of the church are summarized in Holy Mizan, termed a " para-testament." The paratestament is a third testament coming after the first, or Old, Testament and the second, or New, Testament.

The church is episcopal in polity, operating within the boundaries of prison existence. Theriault, the bishop of Tellus, is assisted by Dr. Stephen S. Fox, S.R.M. (sealed revelation minister), the international chancellor of information. Fox is also a professor of psychology at the University of Iowa. Other officers include Dr. Richard Tanner, S.R.M., prime coadjutor; Dr. Becky Hensley, envoy international; Robert Copeland, redactor international; and Jerry Dorrough, coadjutor of Tellus. Male Eclatarians are referred to as " Maverites," and females as " Sporades."

By 1972 the church had 27 chapters in state prisons and 16 in federal prisons. The church has grown in recent years both inside and outside the prison system, despite Theriault' s isolation at La Tuna. A militant program concerning religious freedom in the prison system has been pursued. In 1972 Theriault took a Nazarite vow, which included a refusal to cut his hair (a primary requirement in most prisons). He also began to question the government' s subsidy of religion through its salaries to prison chaplains.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Yo YO YO!

Prophesies, Apocalypse....Your Scientology version of Christianity is so over the top superstitious, I have to laugh at your put downs of other religions as being superstitious.

HaHaHa

HeyHeyHey

Me O My

Take your medication.

I took my first TM course in 1969. Since then, for me TM has been an excellent, low-maintenance, natural and healthy relaxation TECHNIQUE.

It is NOT (for me) a religion, philosophy, cult, explanation for the "meaning of life" or any other cosmic bullsh#.

It is simply a mentally and physically healthy & efficient relaxation technique that is likely not much different (in results) than biofeedback, self-hypnosis, yoga, tai chi, etc.

Most of my friends, like me, instinctively and immediately rejected any dogma, brainwashing, philosophies, etc. that were sometimes offered as baggage back then with TM. But the short & simple TM meditation exercise twice a day proved enjoyable, healthy and relaxing for everyone, as it still does for me to this day.

In that respect, despite any / all of Maharishi's human faults:

"Sexy Sadie (Maharishi), - what have you done ...
You made a fool of everyone"
- © copyright John Lennon

... I am grateful that someone was generous enough to share this simple efficient exercise in relaxation that beats the hell out of drugs, alcohol, etc. when it comes to dealing with and healing stress from this everyday world.

Thanks Maharishi. Peace and good luck to you.

It's a shame. The experiment that Lynch cites as fact in his book and elsewhere, of a gym-full of TM'ers lowering the crime rate, is completely false and was definitively disproven. How can one person be so smart in one place and such a sucker in another?

Whatever, my only gripe with it is that it's getting in the way of his true work as a filmmaker. If you're functioning as a private individual, David, then function: do what you're here on earth to do: make INLAND EMPIRE 2: Kingsley's Revenge!

Why are there people like Frank? Why is there so much trouble in this world?

I am addressing the comment by Eddie that TM is purely a technique and has nothing to do with faith. Eddie you must have had the 3 days of checking when you were told the meaning of what you experience during meditation. Remember the "knowledge" given, the explanations that require faith in the principals that are underlying the entire meditation practice? Does it not require faith to except that the goal of mediation is the ultimate called Enlightenment - certainly faith enters into this picture somewhere, don't you think?

Goodbye TOME CRUISE & ye [zero] Scientology & Pre-Apocalyptic Army!

One of the things many fail to recognize is the distinction between the message and the messenger. Maharishi’s message was a simple one from the depth of Hinduism; Truth, love and compassion. One should note that neither this messenger nor his message advocated anything other than this. He did not ask anyone to abandon his own roots or culture or religion. This is the core of Hinduism, and it stands apart from all of the other dogmas.

Maharishi did not ask anyone to regard him as God or worship him as God. A good teacher is the imparter of knowledge and worthy messages selflessly. It is also essential that he practices what he preaches. No one who is born is immune from any of the physical limitations of the human body, never in the past, not now and not in the future. The gurus who know this stand out in a class by themselves. When the disciples expect more than that from their gurus, they will be disillusioned. When a guru fails to teach his disciples this truth, the guru fails.

Maharishi was a good man. Neither perfect nor divine. He was a good messenger and did justice to those who understood the role of the guru.

I have learned that there are people in this world that would criticize the sky, sun, moon, and stars, if given the forum.

I do TM, in fact the David Lynch Foundation paid my entire fee to do this...And I will always be thankful to Mr. Lynch for setting me on this path...before I started doing TM, I was living in a motel, had no direction, and was floundering with my everyday life, in all ways. The day I started doing TM, my life started changing. Within a month I was living in a new home, full of new furniture, and was feeling better than I ever had before.

It seems alot of people on the outside of TM, criticize it saying it is a religion...a cult, brain wash, etc.

First of all, I put god above everything...I don't pray to TM teachers, leaders, or anything of the sort. They have never asked me for a dime, or claimed to be anything other then what they are.

for me TM is a simple mental technique that I do twice a day...then I go about my day. That's all...Love, peace, pure bliss, this is what TM is, it's aim is to make the world a better place, it turns the individual's enviornment into bliss... It's not something that I really talk about, or tell everyone....it's something you do.

People who have learn of me and TM ask me what it's like? The only answer I have to say is DO IT, and you will know....but if I have to use a metaphor to describe it...think about the water faucet and the purifier filter...well TM is like the purifier filter, it takes out all the bad elements of the individual...and things begin to get better.

Again, I put god above everything, and I do a mental technique twice a day called TM...

God Bless...

East and West

When East and West unite
The sun will never decline.
Its light will always shine
Sublime and bright.

When East and West combine
The sun will glow and yet
The moon will never set
And stars will shine.

And all will be in sight,
All things, unmanifest
And manifest, when West
And East unite.

But East and West, they will
Be only unified
When we are wide inside
And very still.

And when we ARE the sun
And when we ARE that field
From where our Earth is wheeled -
When we are ONE.

God Bless everyone.
fortunate people who experience high levels of consciousness coz they will be free of strains and suffering.
