I hear you on the noise, vibration, etc. I tend to gravitate toward some sort of audible focal point because (at least for me) it helps me to mute some chatter and sharpen my focus leading into a meditation.
We all have blinders on (whether we think we do and whether we like it or not) and a limited amount of time so no one is immune to being caught off-guard or suckered into a false practice or a reality in a tiny, cordoned-off space.
Lynch is an "interesting" character here. A very capitalist TM...didn't realize (until now) that he has his own brand of special organic coffee blends available on his website and at Amazon's Whole Foods...looks like his brain is very enlightened in the realm of marketing the piss out of some coffee beans. We all need some bucks and some caffeine, no judging on this end ;)
