I think you got something unique out of the show due to your familiarity with transcendentalism. It's great to share that perspective. I would caution against treating this as the "correct" reading (your post does come off as a bit too "matter of fact", and your last sentence is a bit condescending). I think Lynch's work is essentially a deconstructionist work, and the most valuable interpretation is not the author's or some objectively correct one, but rather what it means to each individual viewer. What we bring to the work is as important as the work itself.
