Go Fish
The Beatles did it. So did the Beach Boys. And, apparently, Howard Stern, Mia Farrow and Heather Graham are all on the Transcendental Meditation® bandwagon. What with all the bad press Scientology® has gotten in the past year, seems TM, which has been around since the 60s, is set to be the trademarked pseudo-religion of choice for celebrities and disenfranchised searching for their own scrap of bliss. Perhaps most surprising of all is David Lynchs recent self-help book Catching the Big Fish that reveals his meditation practice for the past 30 years and how he joneses for a twice daily dip in the Unified Field for a dose of peace and joy. Lynch has since launched the David Lynch Foundation For Consciousness-Based Education and Peace and, when not distributing his films himself, is spreading the gospel of TM. Sounds good: all it takes is sitting still for 20 minutes and a few thousand dollars. If he gets his wish, a Peace Palace will be opening up any day to serve the growing ranks of the neo-hippie happy folk.
