Something Is Blooming In The Dark

Welcome to Night Blooming Jasmine A podcast about Twin Peaks, dreams, and the spiritual imagination. I’m your host, Sofia Mella. The show Twin Peaks came out in 1990, when I was 11 years old, and somehow, I understood it perfectly. The fictional town under the shadow of Laura Palmer’s murder shaped my young mind, and influenced the rest of my life, and thousands of others like me. This is not a recap podcast.I won’t try to explain Twin Peaks. Many have tried. All have failed.Instead, I’ll explore spiritual symbols and the soul in crisis. Look for clues in Buddhist and Vedic philosophy, The Upanishads, and dream logic. And dive down deep into what David Lynch called the unified field, where all ideas come from. The veil is thin in Twin Peaks. The American Dream conceals the American Nightmare…. sometimes. In January 2025, during the LA fires, David Lynch passed away. He was 79.He’s buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. His headstone reads:Night Blooming Jasmine.This podcast is named in his honor.And for Los Angeles — City of Angels, City of Fire, city of flowers that bloom after dark.🌲 Night Blooming Jasmine is coming soon from Love Street Media.Subscribe now to be the first to hear it.
