That is a question my whole site is devoted to answering.

First of all, check out the section about David. Then take a look at the pictures, and read some of the quotes scattered around the page. David Duchovny is intelligent, funny and well named, as his name means spiritual and he is a very spiritual man. I believe he is the sexiest man in the world, and I cannot think of another actor who says such intelligent things in interviews. I can use things he has said as a place to start explaining my thoughts on various matters, and talking about him has brought together the members of the Church of Our Guy David Duchovny, helped me make new friends, and hopefully helped many of the people who have visited my site to devote some time to spiritual matters that they otherwise would not have thought about.

Why do I believe that meditating on everyday people can lead to an understanding of the Truth?

First of all, yes I do include David Duchovny in the category of everyday people. He is not a god, or a saint, or an ancient philosopher. He is a man, like many you would meet in the street, although a rather special one.

I know a lot of you out there will disagree with me on that, but my logic is very simple. If he is superhuman, on a plane above us mere mortals, then he is entirely unique. There would only be one being remotely like him, and that is him. Since he is now happily married (yaay for him!) that means none of the rest of us can hope to get with him, and we are all left miserable because we will never find anyone smart, funny and spiritual to share our lives with. On the other hand, if he is only unique in the same way we all are, and ‘just’ everyday people, then somewhere out there there will be guys who are every bit as much fun to be with as he is, and I needn’t be totally depressed at my lack of chances to be with him. So, since I prefer being happy, I figure he is a special but everyday person. :)

So why would meditating on him or another ordinary person lead one closer to the Truth?

I believe that everyone is made of the same stuff. The universe is made up of fire, air, water, earth and soul. We are all made of the same soul stuff, our souls are not fundamentally different from each other. Further, I believe that the universe IS the Goddess (or God, if you prefer). The sum of all that is, including all the soul stuff in the universe, is part of her. WE are part of her, our souls part of her soul, and in understanding any one of us we understand a piece of the Goddess.

Why do I meditate on David Duchovny?

Most meditation is a purely intellectual exercise. You sit and you think. But intellect, air, is only one of the five elements that go to make up the universe, and however deep your intellectual understanding of the universe becomes you only understand one fifth of her with one fifth of yourself. Or actually two fifths, since ones soul is always connected and part of her soul. If you make it a moving meditation, like yoga, then you are up to three fifths. However passion and emotion are still not usually part of it.

Meditating on David Duchovny, for me, involves all five elements, passion, intellect, emotion, physical being and soul. Therefore trying to understand him helps me to understand the universe with my whole self.

Of course in trying to understand him I wouldn’t want to pry into his private life. This is limiting, but I have no right to take more from him than he freely offers. I read his interviews, and try and understand what he says. Trying to understand someone close to you would be easier. Some eastern practices suggest trying to become one with one other person as a way to discover that you are truly one with all other people.

Why don’t I do that?

Well, for a start, all of my friends are a lot more interested in Mechwarrior than they are in philosophy. I haven’t met a really great guy to share my life with yet, but when I do I will probably concentrate on him.

There are some problems with trying to see how connected you are with people. I for one am really bad at projection. I have a tendency to take some quality that I would really like to be in me, but cannot see as part of myself, and project it out onto some other person. Then I feel this really intense connection to ‘them’, when what I am really feeling is the connection to this piece of myself I have projected on to them. I have read that this is not uncommon, but it can be real embarrassing when the guy involved is a perfectly ordinary and rather bewildered guy you know. To start with, I got infatuated with DD. I guess in some ways I still am. But I now know what it is I project onto him, so I can sort it out from the real things and real connections.

These are the ways that David Duchovny has led me to a greater understanding of Truth.
