notes from david lynch's catching the big fish
ideas are like fish. if you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. but if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper.
the world is as you are.
fifty years ago, people were saying, "everything's speeding up." twenty years ago, they were still saying "everything's speeding up." it always seems that way. and it seems even more so now. it's crazy. when you watch a lot of tv and read a lot of magazines, it can seem like the whole world is passing you by.
when you go from one state of consciousness to another, you pass through a gap. and in that gap, you can transcend. i picture it like a round white room that has yellow, red, and blue curtains covering the white wall. the curtains are three states o consciousness: waking, sleeping, and dreaming. but in the gap between each curtain, you can see the white of absolute, the pure bliss consciousness. you can transcend that little piece of white.
sometimes restrictions get the mind going. if you've got tons and tons of money, you may relax and figure you can throw money at any problem that comes along. you don't have to think so hard. but when you have limitations, sometimes you come up with very creative, inexpensive ideas.
