[Official] Books and Movies to expand your mind and help you grow as a person.

@kile, Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”. Expect your mind and understanding of “what is” to expand infinitely. I found AMC’s “Breaking Bad” to be exceptionally inspiring, crude but inspiring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_history_of_Earth and if you can wrap your mind around this stuff you will be more knowledgeable than 99.9% of the people that live on the blue planet. And these are just a few, the best resource for knowledge though is still a good book!

The Cable Guy really exhibited the effects and happenings of a dark personality A good movie to me shows real people being in real situations, and there are many many outlets of that behavior in nearly all facets. Beautiful things imo

Also eckhart tolle is an great guy, and TED talks are pretty cool

hmm. i know these aren’t books/movies per se but they are interesting things to read up on, PM me for reading materials (i will do my best to source them out for you!)

astral projection
meditation (you don’t need to know how to, even just sitting for 1/2 an hour a day with the WILL and INTENT focused towards meditation will work :) )
quantum theory
active practice of love/gratitude/empathy
breathing meditation
adopting a mindset that you are a spiritual being with a physical body, not the other way around

Those are all movies (and possibly books). My favorite book of all time is Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.

In one week I am moving to Colombia for a year! As books in English can be hard to come by, I’m hoping to bring a good supply with me, and appreciate any suggestions :D

the Foundation series by Asimov
clockwork orange by A. Burgess
1984, Animal Farm by G. Orwell
Farenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

those are all very well known I know.. but they’re my favourite so be sure to read them if you haven’t

The Untethered Soul byMichael Singer

A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink

oooh, and the Thirst Series by Christopher Pike is good too. 4 books with the 5th one coming out in this upcoming year.
