While I do not own a TV, I am a huge fan of what I call “good” TV. Of course, “good” is entirely subjective. Know that my list below is very personal; yours will be too. Don’t judge it, just allow yourself to list & examine what you find you have enjoyed the most as an adult. During my healing time in MI, I read more books (60+), & watched more films & TV (via Hulu & Netflix) than I could have believed was possible. Lots of years to make up for, to be sure, but this was more than that. There were no coincidences in terms of to what (& how much) I found myself gravitating.
In retrospect, it was uncanny the timeliness of my watching (or re-watching) of some of the programs below. I am entirely serious when I say that my healing was very much aided by every single thing I watched & read. Further talks are forthcoming on the first 5 programs listed here, for I believe they, in particular, are enormously influential on a level that I would bet, most don’t realize. Finally, it is also important to note that I continue to use film, TV, books, music, and other things surrounding us in the mainstream world in my work. Increasingly so, as I really begin to get into the flow of this next phase of all I am doing.
