The Paperback Print Edition Will Be $75 But The Digital PDF Will Always Be Free!

I know, it’s really expensive. I’m sorry. Being an independent author means you have to stake your own money to print a book. I’ve partnered with Book Baby because they allow me to defer ecommerce, order receptions, printing, fulfillment, and shipping, which means I only have to do all the hard work of writing and designing the books for print. Lucky for me, I love this part of the deal.

This book is for charity, did I say that yet? I’ll be giving away the net proceeds of this book, divided in half after design (my Adobe Creator subscription fees and a few other platform services) and printing costs for the 25+ physical copies I’ll be getting to sign and send to people who collect author’s signatures (I am one of these types who love writers and the books they create. Having an author’s signature is like holding a second of their time on the page forever).

The two charities who will receive these annual donations (amounts to be published annually on this site) will be:

I have practiced doing Transcendental Meditation twice daily since November, 2017 which was just two months after The Return ended and I visited Snoqualmie and North Bend for the first time. Something changed in my mind and emotions; something came unblocked for me inside. And I picked up David Lynch’s book Catching The Big Fish just after I returned from that visit out West and it was the right book at the right moment. So, I decided to reach out to find my local TM instructor and start a conversation and I only look back at that decision with gratitude.

I have written about the value of this practice here: “What I’ve Learned From Three Years Of Daily Transcendental Meditation” [MEDIUM]

The David Lynch Foundation is dedicated to providing TM Instruction to our most At-Risk populations in Schools, to Veterans, First Line Responders In Healthcare, To Whole Communities. The Maharishi Effect sees communities amplify their power to support and heal each other the more individuals meditate every day. Benefits include happiness, joy, decrease in crime, and better health. Simply put, meditating daily is a positive investment in the future of our species and this book will directly support that effort in the name of David Lynch, Co-Creator of Twin Peaks.

I started reading Jiddu Krishnamurti’s books, viewing and listening to his lectures, and struggling with his core message of a complete revolution inside the individual’s mind and spirit that is not dependent on any system of thought or worship and which takes place completely outside of time as we selfishly perceive it to flow around and between us.

Krishnamurti (K) helped me become an individual, helped me understand what freedom means, what the limits of human intelligence and thinking are, and how Silence is the greatest source of moral wisdom. K helped me understand what love feels like in the living moment, to forgive myself and others for the small traumas, which then lets silence starts working on our bigger ones. I work hard to keep this inspiration flowing into my art and my writing and K’s writing and teaching has been a big part of this for me.

The Krishnamurti Foundation of America is located in Ojai, California and was founded in 1969 by Jiddu Krishnamurti, himself. The mission of the KFA is to preserve and disseminate his teachings, which it does through a variety of different programs. This book will directly support that effort in the name of Mark Frost, Co-Creator of Twin Peaks.
