'Twin Peaks' Director Bringing Transcendental Meditation to the Web
Some time on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, Lynch is bringing that weirdness to the Web with daily installments of David Lynch Foundation TV. According to TechCrunch, the director hopes to educate the legions of Lynch devotees, not in the ways of creating masterpieces on celluloid, but in transcendental meditation. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
If you want the full Lynch experience, be sure to catch up with him on Twitter where he posts the daily weather report from Los Angeles and occasional snippets of meditative wisdom. To honor the groundbreaking director, we'll close out with our favorite Lynch line, delivered numerous times by Nicolas Cage throughout 'Wild at Heart.'
This here snakeskin jacket represents the symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.Personally, we can't wait to to view the individuality, freedom, and uncomfortable weirdness that is sure to be found on his new Web show. Bring on the oddball hi-jinx, Mr. Lynch! [From: TechCrunch]

I'm a staunch supporter of church/state separation, and also strongly in favor of Transcendental Meditation being practiced by at-risk schoolchildren (even in schools) or by anyone else who wishes to benefit.
The David Lynch Foundation is not defining "Change Begins Within" as a concert to "raise millions to introduce 'TM/Quiet Time' into public schools." The DLF Website states the purpose as follows:
"The David Lynch Foundation provides funds for students to learn to meditate through TM teaching centers, hospital-sponsored wellness programs, boys and girls clubs, before- and after-school programs, and in schools when invited by the administration. Instruction is voluntary and is provided to a child with the permission of a parent and with no cost to the family, organization, or school."
This concert is NOT an attempt to introduce TM to the public school system. It is to raise funds to teach 1 million kids to meditate--in TM centers or through any organizations that request TM. Any school that wishes to implement a TM program can approach the Foundation or the local TM center for information, but it is for a school to decide if they want an in-school program, just as it is for the parents and students to decide on their participation. All TM in-school programs are by invitation from the school and parents.
Meditation may be the best thing to spend money on for our kids. Just look at the scientific research verifying TM's benefits, and check out what researchers from medical schools and doctors are saying at www.DoctorsonTM.org . The NIH has so far spent $24 million researching TM's effects on brain function and cardiovascular health, and the grants keep coming.

If David Lynch wants to so something to help the children of the world have more inner peace, less stress and improve their academic performance – more power to him. I have never seen his movies (how he expresses himself as an artist), but that seems irrelevant to his desire to help children grow up more peacefully in a more peaceful world.

As an educator I applaud the David Lynch Foundation for taking the initiative to raise funds for a project that will reduce stress and promote progress in the lives of young people all over the world. I have been practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique for over 36 years. I know how effective it is in increasing mental clarity, improving health, and enhancing social relationships. We are living in fortunate times.

My children both learned Transcendental Meditation a few years ago, and they have absolutely blossomed with it. My husband and I keep noticing how they are mentally clear, emotionally grounded, and just overall happy people. Both of them tend to make good decisions, especially as they are moving through the teenage years. Transcendental Meditation is one of the best investments we could have made in their future.

How long are we supposed to be impressed by these decades stale, 70's art-school self-basting bores?
Lynch hasn't been anything ---in decades.
