Why Some People See A World Others Don't - David Lynch

“I always wondered if Transcendental Meditation would make someone just so calm that they didn’t want to do anything,” says David Lynch, the iconic film director of Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive.

It is understandable why this question has seemed so central for Lynch, a man who has made his living in the intensely competitive Hollywood movie industry.

“I wondered if, by meditating, they’d just become a bland person and only want to eat nuts and raisins. But it’s not that way,” says Lynch. Practicing meditation twice a day for the last 45 years has not put a plug on his creativity.
