You might want to check the following website to make sure you know how to properly determine if someone is a Freemason.

It opens doors, I'm telling you.

1980- The Elephant Man, dir. David Lynch

I want to join the bookhouse boys....

Lynch naked, blindfolded with a sword to his chest? Methinks not.

I've read all but the 2 most recent DL biographies out there in English, from the most crappily researched and speculative, to the most thoroughly researched and reliable (I recommend Lynch on Lynch and David Hughes' The Complete Lynch) and I have never, ever heard this.

Also, never saw any Freemason sh*t in TP. Are you thinking of Theosophy? If so, that is, as mentioned, a Mark Frost touch.

dont know who put this term in the series, but "dweller on the threshold" is a masonic term used in initiation rites. i dont think for a second lynch or frost are masons. one of the rules of freemasonry is not to talk about freemasonry to non-masons. but i do see many symbols and abstractions in TP that are of an esoteric nature, and its splitting hairs to define them as theosophy or freemasonry or the illuminati or alchemy or the freakin hermetic order of the golden dawn. all of these are known as 'mystery schools' and as such share a main concern, the unknown or occult phenomenology of existence and the awakening of our consciousness to those unknown realms. to me, that sounds pretty much like how lynch describes his own work. and you dont have to be a mason to be aware of these ideas.
i bet it helps tho. 

I honestly could not agree more. 

My partner is a Freemason.  I don't know where all the "weird shit happens" rumours come from, but I can honestly say it's an exceptionally ordinary experience and doesn't have a huge impact on the lives of anyone who belongs to his Lodge. 

Except the goats and the apron-makers. 

My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.

Ange's Odyssey

Well, he IS a mason in the sense that he likes building stuff with his bare hands - which kind of goes back to the origins of the Freemasons.

I dunno, the only two Masons I've met in my life were a craft teacher and a set builder respectively, so it isn't totally beyond the realms of possibility IMO. He certainly wouldn't talk about it if he was one, so I doubt we'll ever know either way....

I would consider the real Freemasons to be a Black Lodge.  When you do the research, you will find that the masons, like every other secret society/network, are good on the surface but have dark secrets.  In fact, most masons don't ever know what they are involved in.  Most never make it out of the blue degrees (first 3 degrees).  The people at the top (33 degree) are the ones into all the craziness.  It's not a conspiracy theory that Washington DC is built based on freemasonic design.  I design that when traced on a map not only shows satanic symbolism, but an owl (which represents one of the freemasonic 'gods'.)  Same with the dollar bill.  The dollar contains a pentagram  that points the the letters m-a-s-o-n.  Do some research and find out what these organisations are all about.  Did you know that Micheal Richards (Kramer) is a 33rd degree mason? 

I just figured with all the weirdness and symbolism of Lynch, that it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to imagine him being a mason.  Anyway, your replies have been appriciated!

"What credit card do you want to put that on?"
"Caash, prease."

But those symbols were all pulled from other religions and cults. What I hate about secret societies is that they can't come up with anything original. (Which is another argument against Freemason influence on TP. It's just another unoriginal, imaginary series of meaningless signs that bears the most similarity to Theosophy.)

Y'know what's really annoying?

Is that moderator's on this website say whatever the hell they want regardless of topic, and insult those of us who are new and just want to talk about certain elements of Twin Peaks.

[jamie waits for impending insults] 

 Umm...Ok. I've never seen ANY moderator insult anyone who is new here. That, my friend, would be other members on this board.

As one of the admins on this board, we all agreed that you guys are going to moderate yourselves. If that means some of you insult one another, that's fine. We've been through TOO much with some people on htis board, and we're tired of holding your hands because you come cry to us that feelings were hurt.

So, there you go.

If you have problems/questions, please feel free to PM any one of us.
