David Lynch – Boston 2005 – Consciousness Creativity and the Brain



Video Rescue Center

Film director David Lynch has been a strong advocate for TM, Transcendental Meditation, and often credits it as the source of his openness to creativity. His foundation sponsored a tour of this program to colleges across the country to present “Consciousness Creativity and the Brain” with David Lynch, Dr. John Hagelin (a quantum physicist) and Dr. Fred Travis (a brain researcher). This was recorded at The Cutler Majestic Theatre in Boston in 2005. This DVD was handed out at another presentation by David Lynch in Southern California.

An eight minute clip can be found on YouTube of a woman asking David Lynch about meditation. This is the full evening from which that clip derived.

  1. His response to the 2d question is so brilliant. Blue Velvet held me to that from the opening scene, which my deep personal midwestern suburban childhood related to as if it were a painting of the larger reality of the surrealness of what Americans think of as the the American dream.

  2. David was wrong about Film. Sadly, I can see why he thought what he thought at the time in 2005.
    But, in hindsight sight after 20 years of observing what digital media vs celluloid has done, is drastically reduce the quality of cinema.

    You see, when movies were shot on celluloid film, it did take a few days to process and see what was captured. Therefore, due to this they made allot more effort to get the acting performances perfect. The dialogue and actual human interactions were more alive if you will. The depth and warmth of film has yet to be replicated satisfactorily.

    And the heavy reliance upon cgi in modern films of this time, have effectively made movies feel detached, forced, and lacking substantial substance and depth.

    And most of the dialogue in movies as of late is forced opinion and ideological sensationalism.

    The classic art of storytelling needs revival.

  3. "I thought Blue Velvet was really cool, by the way." "Bless your heart." What a confident film student I was 20 years ago! Thank you for posting this. RIP, Mr. Lynch.

  4. Love how Lynch discusses consciousness as a vast, infinite field, where ideas and creativity exist in their purest form. To me I see this as imagination or creative play at the highest level. I resonate with his thoughts on meditation, he believes one can access this field, which he describes as the “ocean of pure consciousness.” I hear others call it flow state
