Transcendence at the End of the Cycle

Twin Peaks, the End of the Cycle and the Breaking of the Great Wall

By Sadie LaBounty

Through Twin Peaks: The Return, this essay explores the spiritual forces active at the end of the cycle: counter-initiation, fissures in the Great Wall and the dissolution of the boundaries separating the human world from darker realities.

David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks presents a world in which the apparent stability of ordinary existence is repeatedly breached by forces that resist rational explanation.

These breaches can be approached through René Guénon’s account of the end of a cycle, when the boundaries protecting the human domain become increasingly permeable and influences once excluded from ordinary experience begin to enter it.
