Meditation is not a selfish thing. Even though you're diving in and experiencing the Self, you're not closing yourself off from the world. You're strengthening yourself, so that you can be more effective when you go back into the world.

More quotes by David Lynch
Eraserhead is my most spiritual movie. No one understands when I say that, but it is.
David Lynch
I always say Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is my biggest influence. But for painters, I like many, many painters, but I love Francis Bacon the most, and Edward Hopper.
David Lynch
Every single thing in the world that was made by anyone started with an idea. So to catch one that is powerful enough to fall in love with, it is one of the most beautiful experiences. It's like being jolted with electricity and knowledge at the same time.
David Lynch
Mystery is the number one conjurer of ideas.
David Lynch
It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.
David Lynch
Angelo Badalamenti brought me into the world of music and that's really what gave me permission to get into it even though I'm not a musician. It's just an intuitive thing for me.
David Lynch
Intuition is knowingness, and this field of unbounded knowing, of knowingness, is within every human being. You start tapping into that and it becomes an ocean of solutions.
David Lynch
I've seen so many cases where lives have been transformed for the good and heard so many stories about this. The technique of Transcendental Meditation really works for the human being.
David Lynch
I just have to think of Philadelphia now, and I get ideas, I hear the wind, and I'm off into the darkness somewhere.
David Lynch
I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!
David Lynch
The artist doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. Have it on the screen but have the people come out of the theater into a world of peace, of a beautiful world. They don't have to suffer in their lives.
David Lynch
You don't dive for specific solutions you dive to enliven that ocean of consciousness. Then your intuition grows and you have a way of solving those problems-knowing when it's not quite right and knowing a way to make it feel correct for you. That capacity grows and things go much more smoothly.
David Lynch
So much of what happened to me is good fortune. But I would say: Try to get a job that gives you some time get your sleep and a little bit of food and work as much as you can. There's so much enjoyment in doing what you love. Maybe this will open doors, and you'll find a way to do what you love.
David Lynch
In the world there's a thing called collective consciousness. All of us billions of human beings together create that collective consciousness. With all the problems in our world, you can see that the collective consciousness is not so high.
David Lynch
Television provides the opportunity for an ongoing story - the opportunity to meld the cast and the characters and a world, and to spend more time there.
David Lynch
What do you fear, most of all? The possibility that love may not be enough.
David Lynch
I know club music has to be infectious and it's got to make you move.
David Lynch
In my case what happened is that within about two weeks of beginning meditation, the anger already started to go away. My wife came to me and said, What's going on? and I said, What are you talking about? To which she replied, This anger, where did it go? I didn't even realize that my anger had been going away.
David Lynch
I like things to be orderly.
David Lynch
If you keep your eye on the doughnut and do your work, that's all you can control. You can't control any of what's out there, outside yourself.
David Lynch
