Дэвид Линч через интернет будет учить медитировать по технике Трансцендентальной медитации
Американский режиссер и сценарист Дэвид Линч, известный широкому зрителю по кинофильмам Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, сериалу Twin Peaks и многим другим, запустил собственное интернет-телевидение – DLF.tv (David Lynch Foundation). Основная цель его проекте будет – это видеоуроки по Трансцендентальной медитации. Курсы, направленные на обучение пользователей медитации, будет проводить сам Дэйвид Линч. Автор проекта рассчитывает, что с помощью Интернета, во-первых, сможет донести весть о полезном действии медитации до молодых людей, а во-вторых – увеличить количество приверженцев этого метода познания окружающего мира, раскрытия потенциала человека и духовного развития. В проекте принимают участие Пол Маккартни, Ринго Старр, Эдди Веддер, Моби и другие знаменитости.
David Lynch Launches Transcendental TV Site
The iconoclastic mind behind Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and DavidLynch.com, one of the first celebrity membership sites on the internet, jumped into the online television, launching the David Lynch Foundation’s DLF.TV. The site’s focus is not on creating memorable like Twin Peaks’ Bob, but rather spreading the word about a time-worn technique to eradicate them, namely Transcendental Meditation (TM).
“Instead of taking Ritalin, Prozac or any of those other drugs, you just sit and meditate for 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon, go about your business, and watch things get better and better,” Lynch told in a interview in which he discussed TM. “It doesn’t happen overnight, but it happens, and some things happen right away. The anger that I had when I first started meditating in 1974 lifted in two weeks. It kinda just went away.”
On DLF.TV’s first webcast, TM fans (and Lynch fans) like Paul McCartney, Eddie Vedder and more took the stage at Radio City Music Hall for the foundation’s “Change Begins Within” concert. The goal of the concert is the same as Lynch’s foundation, which is “to give Transcendental Meditation to any student that wants it, so they can dive within, start expanding that consciousness, start expanding that bliss, and get on the big, fast train to enjoying life.”
It’s a mission that has been partly accomplished. To date, the David Lynch Foundation has given scholarships to more than 70,000 at-risk students in schools around the world to help them learn TM technique. The new site features a wealth of information on that technique, as well as cool recurring video features such as “David Doing Stuff” and “Daily David,” in which Lynch jams with Moby or meditates with thousands in Brazil.
The online television station is just another way Lynch has used the internet to take control of his production, artistic and otherwise. After launching the subscription-based DavidLynch.com in the late 1990s to fund and expose his creative work and now an internet TV station dedicated to the educational mission of his well-intentioned foundation, the longtime director has positioned himself well for when the future of the digital age comes calling.
