Last night, the wife and I saw David Lynch answer questions and read from his new book, Catching the Big Fish at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. The book is all about his explorations with meditations and consciousness. He advocates transcendental meditation as a cure all because when one transcends, you dive into "oceans of bliss" that are much "better than orgasms" according to David. He was very sincere and inspirational. Following the Q&A, Donovan came out and played about 10 songs including the classic Hurdy Gurdy Man which he said he wrote after travelling to India where he, the Beatles and Mia Farrow (I am pretty sure he said that) meditated with some famous yogi. Ya Mon!
But seriously, it has inspired me to find out more about transcendental mediation with the aim of experiencing the universal bliss and consciousness of which he spoke. It sounds amazingly rewarding.
