130. 5 movies/TV shows that I would recommend to everyone on their spiritual journey
In this episode of the Wisdom from the Akasha podcast, Suzie Ridley shares a fun, lighthearted list of films and TV shows she believes can genuinely support spiritual development. If you enjoy watching something that expands your perspective (without pretending all TV is “bad”), these recommendations offer themes like consciousness, timelines, sovereignty, and what it means to be human.
Suzie walks through five picks and what each one can illuminate on the spiritual path: The Matrix, Soul, Nine Days, The Man in the High Castle, and The Peripheral. Along the way, she highlights recurring themes like illusion vs truth, free will vs determinism, purpose, the sacredness of human experience, and the tension between internal technology (intuition/inner knowing) and external technology. She also invites listeners to share their own recommendations in the comments.
In this episode, you’ll learn
Why entertainment is not automatically “low vibe”, and how intention determines whether it’s enrichment or avoidance
What The Matrix can teach about reality, love, transhumanism, and questioning the structure of the world you live in
How Soul explores purpose, the “in-between” (transition) space, and the beauty of everyday life
Why Nine Days is deeply Akashic-coded, and what it reveals about guides, Earth incarnation, empathy, and the human experience
How The Man in the High Castle and The Peripheral explore timelines, sovereignty, technology, and consciousness in a modern context
