[MorganBlack]

A video of David Lynch describing reality pairs beautifully with Guillermo del Toro on Lynch's 'unironic' awareness of the inherent goodness of pie and coffee.

That model appears to still have consciousness separated from matter. Not a unified field with matter/spacetime. It maps consciousness as coming from some other fabricated place that has no reality. Accessed psychologically with what amounts to a hypnotic suggestion from the mantra. Providing something like an induced Overview Effect. However, even a falsehood leading to the overview experiences convinced him of benefits, and the overview effect should. The method is adaptable to a unified field physical model that has consciousness/life as part of matter. While discarding the unnecessary falsehood of a transcendent space with its inherent problems such as detachment.

I've been listening to Silversun Pickups today and they have a David Lynch song. Posting here as an outro for the unfamiliar with the band... their lyrics and videos have surreal and occult meanings.

Sweet song, Kepler! Thank you!

Hmm, my own implicit Neoplatonism may have had me read Lynch there as saying the field (God, the One, Source, Azathoth, or whatever) gives rise to both mind and matter. I also totally get along with pagans and atheists who jettison a rarefied field of consciousness, but to me, that's like saying the apps on your phone are the operating system.

I think the pagan "implicit consciousness" and the Neoplatonic "transcendent yet immanent" are both just ways for us to model and make sense of deep Mystery. I can get on board with the idea that it is all part of the same system, as long as the hierarchy of information/awareness doesn't get flattened too much.

Oh, and Lynch is also an animist. Twin Peaks Season 3 is pretty much about, as a core plot point, humans being manipulated by spirits and forces beyond their awareness.
