8 Consciousness-Raising Documentaries For Spiritual Awakening

Most of us, at some point during our awakening stage, find a wealth of information that helps us expand our view of the world around us through a good old fashioned Netflix or Hulu binge. I know I did.

If you’re like me, you’re taking a few days off around the holidays and you’re probably going to be looking forward to doing a little Netflix and chill after the fam heads out of town. If that be the case, here’s eight consciousness-raising documentaries for spiritual awakening that you might want to check out, personally viewed, approved, and highly recommended by me.

Consciousness-Raising Documentaries for the Mind

Prepare to stretch everything you thought you knew about the nature of reality.

1. Out of the Blue

If you’re toying with the notion of Extra Terrestrials but just aren’t really sure if there’s any truth to it, this documentary, above all, will leave you a believer. A slew credible witnesses and high ranking government officials go on record with their personal testimony that aliens are out there, and they are visiting earth. Skeptical?

“OUT OF THE BLUE emerges as one of the very best films ever produces on this, one of the most interesting in the history of science.” – Skeptic Magazine

There. Take that.

 

2. The Illusion of Time (PBS)

My (second) favorite theoretical physicist, Dr. Brian Greene (also a string theorist) takes you on a very visual trip through space time and shows you just how malleable time really is – if it even exists at all.

 

3. Ethos: A Time for Change

Hosted by the two-time Academy Award® nominated actor and activist Woody Harrelson, ETHOS: A TIME FOR CHANGE lifts the lid on a Pandora’s box of systemic issues that has proven to have a negative impact in every aspect of our lives. From the environment, our democracy and our personal liberty to conflicts of interest in politics and unregulated corporate power, we cannot change our system until we know how it works.

 

4. 13th

13th explores the history of cultural attitudes and public policy that have contributed to the U.S. having the world’s largest prison population– 25% of the total, or 2.3 million, which is nearly double that of the country with the second largest prison population (China)–in spite of having less than 5% of the world’s total population. The U.S. has experienced a 500% increase of incarcerations over the last 40 years despite overall crime rates actually decreasing in that same timeframe.

What’s driving the U.S. to become a prison state? Are American simply more prone to become criminals or are there other factors at play? Fear is a powerful motivator, as the experts interviewed in 13th will show you.

Consciousness-Raising Documentaries for the Body

You are what you eat… and you really don’t want to know what you’re eating. But you should. These documentaries completely changed the way I eat. I lost two pants sizes as a result, and have kept it off for several years now.

5. Food Inc. 

Food Inc. examines the repercussions of factory farming on the health and livelihood of Americans, exposing how corporations have overtaken the food chain.

Consciousness-Raising Documentaries for the Soul

These documentaries focus specifically on the philosophical and soul-level experiences of human beings and spiritual awakening.

6. DMT: The Spirit Molecule

This documentary takes a look at DMT, a psychoactive, naturally occurring chemical in the brain that is also the active ingredient in LSD and some Ayahuasca brews, and it’s connection to spirituality.

 

7. With One Voice

With one voice talks with mystics from nearly every religion around the world, and shows how each of them are based on the exact same principles – love.

 

8. I Am

Tom Shadyac, director of the infamous Dumb and Dumber, documents a life-altering accident that brought him to a spiritual awakening and talks with others about how everyone can improve the way they live. One of them is Desmond Tutu. I freakin’ love Desmond Tutu!

Are you new to spirituality? Here’s a list of informative info.

If you’re having trouble finding these spiritual awakening documentaries on Netflix or Hulu, you’ll most likely be able to find them in full on YouTube.

  1. Yeah, I’m striking out on both Netflix and Hulu on nos. 1 and 2 so far. We subscribe to both. I REALLY want to see those! So, I’ll check YouTube. Thanks for the recommendations!

  2. It turns out, Ash, that as we started watching “Out of the Blue” on YouTube, we realized right away that we’d seen it awhile back and really liked it. Even better, James Fox has produced a newer documentary, released in 2009, titled “I Know What I Saw.” It covers some of the events in the previous documentary, but has great new stuff, like a meeting with the US National Press Club in 2007 where other countries’ government officials, former military and commercial jet pilots, and all sorts of experts gave testimony to the gathering of journalists. Really impressive! We had also seen Dr. Brian Greene’s “NOVA – The Fabric of the Cosmos,” (his book of the same name) which contains the episode about the Illusion of Time. It’s worth watching all the episodes. We’ve seen a couple of others, like “Ethos.” I’m eagerly looking forward to watching “Apologies of an Economic Hitman,” though the only version I’ve found on YouTube has annoying sub-titles in another language that cannot be removed; and “DMT: The Spirit Molecule,” though on the DVD’s cover, it says “A Doctor’s Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences.” I hope he’s not saying it’s all in our brain’s biology and due to DMT rather than a consciousness that resides outside our brain. Anyway, I’ll keep an open mind and watch it soon. I promise I won’t say anymore!! LOL! I get WAY too wordy. 😛
