Thinking Meditation Church

More From David Lynch

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate; it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. to inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.

I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.

There was the strangest combination of church influence against me. baker is a campbellite; and therefore, as i suppose with few exceptions, got all of that church. my wife had some relations in the presbyterian churches, and some in the episcopal churches; and therefore, wherever it would tell, i was set down as either one or the other, while it was everywhere contended that no christian ought to vote for me because i belonged to no church, and was suspected of being a deist and had talked of fighting a duel.

I'm an equal opportunity reader - although i don't much read plays. and since i was raised a presbyterian, pretty much all pleasures are guilty.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. all my friends weren't allowed to watch mtv or go to pg-13 movies or listen to the radio, so i didn't really know anything different. that's how i was raised.
