@maksimbalobnov: "If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness; when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. If you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read that book, you'll have more understanding..." - David Lynch 🧠 For Lynch, consciousness was not simply the place where thoughts happen, but the lens through which everything in life is experienced. The larger that inner world becomes, the more there is to find in the same book, the same image, the same moment or even within yourself. Understanding, creativity and happiness were therefore not things to be collected from the outside, but qualities that could deepen as our capacity to experience them expanded. This idea shaped both his life and his art. Through Transcendental Meditation, Lynch believed it was possible to reach beneath the noise of everyday thought into a quieter and deeper level of consciousness, what he often described as an ocean of creativity and ideas. Instead of forcing inspiration, the artist could make the inner world larger and become capable of receiving more from it. In that sense, his philosophy was beautifully simple: the deeper you go within, the richer the world outside becomes. #davidlynch #bluevelvet #eraserhead #mulhollanddrive #twinpeaks

how do u expand consciousness

Kai :

I was thinking about this last night and it finally clicked that this how our minds change from babies to kids to adults and so on. As a kid you don’t feel dumb but when you get older and look back you realize how little you knew and how small your understanding of the world was. Very interesting stuff.

Andrgilz :

I’m not the biggest fan of this because it implies a quantifiable level of consciousness which is just hard to explain and ends up sounding deep but not meaning anything

bellella🌷 :

so the consciousness expands before the learning does? how does that work.
