I came across an interview with David Lynch, in a recent copy of Stool Pigeon. In it, the vaguely non-plussed journalist elicits a delightful analogy from the visionary director, about the nature of consciousness. When asked ‘How many people truly understand David Lynch?’ He responds as follows: ‘I’m not that hard to understand. The secret, though, to understanding anything is that it’s tied to consciousness… It’s a huge, huge, giant, – giant – thing we’re involved in. It’s like high school. You start one place, you move through and then one day you graduate. Not every human being has the same amount of consciousness, but everyone has the potential for infinite consciousness. It just needs unfolding. And if you can do that, then there are zero problems.’
