This article posits that one starting point for interpreting Lynch’s work may be found in his dedication to Transcendental Meditation. Some scholars have explored spiritual themes in Lynch’s work, but never his own spirituality. Seeing Lynch as a convert to and evangelist for Transcendental Meditation provides insight into the conclusion of Twin Peaks: The Return, and arguably provides a new prism through which much of Lynch’s oeuvre may be re-examined. |
