I like the thought that making your dreams come true is a lot like dating.

You flirt for a bit...
You date...
You get engaged...
You get married...

So don't feel pressured to get married to your dreams during the flirting stage. 

Just flirt and see how you get along. 

And if it doesn't work, great, move on! 

And if it does, great, move forward!

Lynch liked to say he “fell in love” with ideas.

Moderate-to-severe symptoms.

Part of that fall in love dance is to learn to let ideas go their own ways sometimes and ignore them. The feminine energy is the same across the board.

He equated it to fishing. His book is titled "Catching the Big Fish." 

So yes, you sometimes have to "lure" those ideas, also not unlike our courtship rituals (don't text too soon!). 😉

Lynch’s method depends on fragmentation and abstraction.

Fragmentation makes it hard to know the context as defined by a reference frame. 

Abstraction makes it hard to trust our normal causal models.

If consciousness is a process of matching appropriate reference frames and causal models for the moment, fragmentation and abstraction lift one out (transcend) normal conscious experience, creating new connections.

He was such an enormous influence.  David Foster Wallace was a big disciple and talked about how much Blue Velvet influenced him.

I've got a lot to say about him, but fortunately have admired for many years (see below)

I was just writing about a quote from the Upanishads he read before each screening of his films. And it fits so perfectly with my work. I named /mirror-loom last month, but only learned about this quote recently after his passing.

"The spider is used as a symbol in the Upanishads to represent Brahman creating, dwelling in, and withdrawing the world. The spider's actions are used as an analogy to explain how the immortal is the source of all created things. "

Speaking of Lynch… until a few days ago, I’d been under a rock when it comes to knowing about him as a creative, including being unfamiliar with most of his work. I’m vaguely aware of Twin Peaks but never really looked into him much. It feels like discovering a distant cousin I’m just starting to learn about—and there’s a bittersweet sadness in not connecting while he’s still here in the body.
