Reddit reviews Eternal Stories from the Upanishads

> Considering Lynch's views on and practice of transcendental meditation and especially the importance of transcending, has someone tried to delve deeper into that aspect and apply this to his works, Twin Peaks in particular?


I did:

David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE a metaphor for meditation and enlightenment?

Still watching the first season of Twin Peaks, but I've already seen a few scenes that might have a TM interpretation (whether Lynch intended them to be interpreted that way or not is another question).

However, with INLAND EMPIRE, I think came pretty close to what Lynch had in mind as THIS is something he HAS said in public about it:

"We are like the spider. We weave our life and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire universe."

(this isn't actually a direct quote from the Upanishads, but from a book about the Upanishads by a friend of his who put the text of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad into short story form: Eternal Stories from the Upanishads)
