I think that David Lynch is one of the few creative filmmakers in Hollywood. Meditation and enlightenment are not new ideas, but they certainly dont seem to be being used for some reason. If he thinks he's found a reliable way to give students a chance to "transcend" and experience expansion of consciousness, then it's something I would support trying. The constant debate about things we need to do to improve education dont seem to ever amount to much real change or progress. I think getting students to directly experience expansion of mind and the creative surge it must bring, sounds like doing something basic and important--something more fundamental than the constant reform measures advocate. I read that David Lynch has put $5M into helping schools in poor areas to impliment this. Good for him!
