I'm nearly finished reading Gregg Braden's The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles and Belief.  I strongly believe that much of the subject matter of this book is congruent with the underlying subject matter of Twin Peaks.  I will elaborate on a later date, as another semester of the studies has begun and it's difficult to find the (linear) time to post.        

Also, I'm anticipating the release of Dan Brown's follow-up to The Da Vinci Code this week.  I'm going out on a limb here, but if my speculation on the story content of The Lost Symbol proves true, then certain parallels between this and Twin Peaks can be identified, resulting in answers to some of the mysteries of Twin Peaks.

With that, I'm building a case that David Lynch has long been the keeper of privileged and sacred information; an initiate who encrypts his powerful knowledge within his art.

David Lynch's mumbo jumbo > Dan Brown's nonsense

I don't like DL's introversion into transcendental meditation, but at least the message of TM is a simple one, and we can all (supposedly) achieve its benefits (in one quicky payment to the Foundation). But what could possibly be divined from Dan Brown's mixture of portentous MacGuffins?

This Guardian passage from the Comments Section was a funny read:

"Next week sees the publication of Dan Brown's third novel featuring Robert Langdon, the supposed Harvard professor of "religious symbology". Little is known yet about The Lost Symbol - apparently set in Washington DC and involving freemasons - but on past form it is unlikely to be short of errors. In Angels and Demons (set in Rome) and The Da Vinci Code (largely in Paris and London), Brown has been shown as mistaken about anti-matter, Galileo, papal conclaves, any number of Roman placenames and Italian phrases, the Illuminati, Mary Magdalene, Leonardo's The Last Supper, the emperor Constantine, the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, the geography of both Paris and London and the longitude of Glastonbury. Has any other writer ever got so much wrong?

His Langdon thrillers, headily mixing sinister religious plots (a Vatican megalomaniac in A&D, Opus Dei in TDVC), art (Bernini, Leonardo) and science (particle physics, code-breaking), can best be enjoyed as a feast of folly. Among the most popular gaffes are making TDVC's albino assassin an Opus Dei monk, although there aren't any; an Arabic word in A&D that is said to be in "Islamic"; the professor's assertion that holy communion was influenced by the Aztecs, who came several centuries later; his survival after a fall from a plane, descent slowed only by a tarpaulin, into the Tiber (both too shallow and too polluted, it's thought); his fight in a fountain in the "empty" Piazza Navona, in fact one of Rome's busiest squares; and, of course, treating "Da Vinci" as a surname.

Brits can particularly relish the BBC correspondent in A&D who formerly worked for a magazine called "the British Tatler"; the copper who rings up Opus Dei's offices and says "this is the London police"; the idea that you can phone Broadcasting House in the West End and be put through there to a BBC "content editor" (its news centre is in west London); and Robert and Sophie's Tube journey to get to Kings College London in TDVC that would actually take them further away from it.

And then there are the celebrated language blunders, which include a reference to Andorra as a "suzerain", someone who can be "trusted explicitly", and even the howler of using "reign" where "rein" is meant. Let's hope his editors have been no more vigilant this time. "

Dan Brown...lol.

Is he still doing his idiots guide to 'occultism'?

Eventually you'll just end up at 'cabala' and all its various forms etc...but surely to god you can find far better sources than Dan Brown?

Twin Peaks black/white lodge...yeah sure its connected in some way...tessalated floor of the lodge (black/white, light/dark duality) tree of life, crossing the abyss (oto) etc.

You'll get some real fun when you look into 'Enochian' magick and the 'calling' system, although I don't think 'fire walk with me' was one of them!

The 'tessalated' floor is in reference to the lodge...that being the masonic one, hence my mention of cabala, b&w duality and crossing the abyss etc.

LOL! I certainly set myself up for that barrage.  I should have stressed that my anticipation of Dan Brown's next novel was mostly based on the prospect of discovering the congruencies between its subject matter and that of TP and the other literature I identified - and not so much on the use of his work as a literary reference.  Bluefrank I agree with your "idiot's guide to occultism" comment, LOL.  However, sometimes these mainstream publications serve me well, because they entertain my occult interest and provide avenues into more credible and comprehensive resources for me to research.  I am a millennial and early in my occult studies.  I've been a TP fan since childhood and have longed to understand the esoteric significance of this work.         

You guys have to give me credit however for successfully predicting that the Lost Symbol would include much of the same subject matter found in Twin Peaks and The Divine Matrix.  To name a few items: Theosophy - Metaphysics - Quantum physics - Noetic science.

I recognize that I was over the top with my remark that Lynch is perhaps an initiate into secret teachings.  It's evident however that he and Mark Frost are versed in theosophical subjects.      

I'm currently enjoying the works of Manly P. Hall.  They're helping to connect many of the dots.  I'm open to your suggestions for other resources...
