You\u2019re in one place, and then you dip into the transcendent, the field of pure consciousness. It\u2019s like being plugged into an electric circuit; you get a jolt of happiness. It\u2019s very beautiful. And the more you practice this technique, the longer you stay in the transcendent. Short beautiful rides lead to longer beautiful rides. I always say it\u2019s like gold coming in and garbage going out. When you transcend and you\u2019ve experienced this happiness, you have less stress, less depression, less sadness, less fear, less hate, less bitter anger\u2014all negativity starts to dissipate the more you transcend. You start feeling better. You start acting better. You start enjoying more.\u201d \u2014 David Lynch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Lynch &#8211; Kinfolk \u201cFor me, transcending is like a &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[582,655,421,648,1521,881,752,277,86,622,225,276,880,1535,3,617,6113,11569],"class_list":["post-8961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-art","tag-artist","tag-buddha","tag-buddhism","tag-buddhist","tag-cinema","tag-creative","tag-david-lynch","tag-film","tag-hollywood","tag-interview","tag-meditation","tag-movie","tag-quote","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes","tag-transcendental-meditation","tag-transcendentalism"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
