The year of Lynch
by Yvonne Puig
Anthem magazine
14 October 2007
On 14 October 2007 Anthem magazine reported: The famously elusive movie
director David Lynch has been more high-profile this year with the success of
his best-selling book on Transcendental Meditation titled 'Catching the Big
Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity', and his sold-out benefits
across the US promoting the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness- Based
Education and World Peace. Soon his admirers will get to view more of his life
as a new reality show, currently in production, follows the director as he
tours the country speaking about TM. It is a joy for Global Good News service
to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting
programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of culture.
The article stated, 'This year alone, his foundation, the David Lynch
Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace, now in its second
year, hosted sold-out benefits at Lincoln Center in New York City and Kennedy
Center in Washington and a concert with Donovan at the Kodak Theatre in
Hollywood. Sixty-five schools now boast Transcendental Meditation programs
because of the foundation's work. Catching the Big Fish spent twelve weeks on
the best-seller list and will soon be out in paperback; one-hundred percent of
the book's proceeds go to the foundation.'
Lynch was quoted as saying, 'Transcendental Meditation is not a religion. It's
a mental technique that unfolds the human being's full potential. We have a
full potential, and it's so gloriously huge. And when the penny drops and
people realize that, then they say, 'We want it, we gotta have it.''
Currently in production is a new reality show that features the director
crisscrossing the United States speaking about Transcendental Meditation.
Filming for the show first started in May of this year during the David Lynch
Weekend, which is an annual event at Maharishi University of Management in
Fairfield, Iowa.
The article stated, 'Lynch is also executive-producing a feature-length
documentary about the science and benefits of TM entitled The Square Root of
One Percent, tentatively set to be complete in the fall of 2008.'
The documentary will feature a two-month study that showed when a large group
practises Transcendental Meditation together, crime rates go down
significantly. It will also feature an advanced meditation practice known as
Yogic Flying.
The article stated, 'The impact meditation has had on Lynch's creative life
cannot be underestimated, but beyond the personal effects, he sees it as a
force for positive change in the larger world. And he's nothing if not
optimistic.'
The article concluded with a quote by Lynch, 'It's so unbelievable what's going
on, but that's going to end. It's a new thing coming. A beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful world is coming.'
