Episode 3, in which we explore maps, disorientation, cursed geometry, and the dangerous liaisons of the dead girls of Twin Peaks. What does it mean to live — or die — in a place where the map fails you? Also - the transformation of Dr Jacoby, Ben Horne's failed attempts at redemption, the evolution of Bobby Briggs, plus the psychic self-defence of Marina Abromovic. We look at the Highway of Tears, and the kind of murdered girl that America loves: blonde, white, loved by all. Meet me at the Roadhouse after 9.30.

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.

Welcome back, party people. Yoga Ethics for Modern Living returns with Svadyaya, the yogic principle of self-study—a tool for radical self-awareness and a spiritual survival skill for 2025. Explore what it means to just look at yourself: your patterns, your ego, your addictions, your motivations. From avoiding a Whole Foods wine aisle spiral to five minutes of stillness in a hot car, this episode is a call to turn inward, slow down, and face the real you (before life does it for you).

Also: – the wild prospect of a 100% film tariff and the possible death of global storytelling! – the ego’s grip on pleasure and power! – the brilliance of unsung creatives like Shere Hite and Allee Willis! - the extra $1 for so-called organic mushrooms?!

Yoga Ethics continues with Tapas, forging strength in the fires of life. Listen as I grapple with the terror of facing life head on through the lens of surrealist cinema. Also, Taurus season is upon us, the women on board Blue Origin humiliate feminists on a universal scale, I stare down the now familiar barrel of middle age, and find comfort in the new Selena Gomez album.
