Tv shows and movies

[Vibroverse]

Do you have suggestions of tv shows and movies that are, like, related to these subjects?

[BipolarGrowth]

The Midnight Gospel on Netflix is likely the best actual TV show you’ll find for these topics. There are likely some good movies, but I’m not aware of many other than The Fountain which is loosely related, mostly to impermanence. It’s a good one to watch though for sure.

Oh I watched both of these. They were good yeah.

@RedLine because nothing else that could be considered even remotely mainstream discusses these topics. Is everything in the show the highest absolute insights possible? No, but it comes quite a far way compared to the rest of pop culture. It’s effective in introducing topics that the average person may never find any other time in their life. Episode three covers topics that could potentially be considered more advanced than practically anything nondual teachers promote by introducing nondual “total” enlightenment as a baby step in a much deeper process of Self Realization/Actualization. Episode five is actually quite good as well. The rest of the episodes are meh.

Honestly I just watch tv for the sake of it. They just inspire me and get me fired up for life. If you're living with people who aren't totally pleasant they are really heaven sent lol.

I agree it is a good tool do divulgate spiritually to normies, but for people who are already into this field.. meh

I like the first episode, but then when you see they repeat the same formula again and again I lost interest.

I liked The Good Place

[PopoyeSailor]

The mainstream movie matrix is a good one. The third installment of the movie has a sung version of these verses from the Hindu Scripture Brihadaranyaka Upanishad in its End Credits:

asato mā sad gamaya
tamaso mā jyotir gamaya
mṛtyor mā amṛtaṁ gamaya

From ignorance lead me to truth
From darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality

--Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, I.iii.28
