I completely agree with your observation of the paradox between Lynch's films and his meditative practice. I could not sit through Eraserhead, for example. Near as I could tell at the time I tried to watch it, his intention with that movie was to turn the audience into psycho-paths intent on instigating violent acts upon leaving the theater.

I read it a while ago, and found it very insightful and very intriguing, particularly in the seemingly paradoxical way in which Lynch's movies--that often contain rather grizzly, grueling, and disturbing scenes (at least to me)--were born out of a very 'tranquil' meditative practice.
