there is nothing wrong with video games or any other form of entertainments despite what many here will try to get you to believe. it is your intent in the game that matters, there is violence all over nature, to say that playing a violent game will hurt your ascensin is foolish, if you were down at the watering hole and seen a crocodile kill a drinking animal by those rules even witnessing that event lowers your ascension. totally ridiculous.
what would affect your growth isnt violence in games or anywhere else it is how you respond to those situations, you are bored and not finding any interestes in other activities, so go ahead and play vids, be careful about glorifying the violence in the games, i play games to solve the puzzles and set goals and complete achievements, some of those games require the viewing of some nast stuff, other games i play have no violence at all, even if you purely played nonviolent games you could still be addicted to them once again creating unhealthy gowth potential. someone killed her kid because it was bugging her while she was playing farmville, absolutely no violence in that game yet still we have this horrible scene. this happens because of the PERSON and has nothing to do with the outside influences and only with how that person allows those influences to control them or not
Thanks for your insight i reckon your right these games will only be for entertainment and i wont let them influence my actions. Love & Light
You can also play sandbox games like Minecraft where you make what you want, so if you don't want to go violent, don't :3
Haha i do enjoy minecraft man have a good one Love & Light
I wouldn't be too concerned about it man, the stricter you get about these kinda things, the more likely you are to fall into a 'striving towards ascension' type of mind state. I think the most important thing is to just be aware of your mind and your feelings, if it's starting to make you feel crappy, maybe give it a rest for a while. I honestly don't think there's any harm in games, violent or otherwise though, as long as you're having fun!! Everything in moderation and balance seems to be key. Sometimes I find myself drawn to games because I feel bored, but then realise that the boredom feeling is actually a big clue pointing towards an internal conflict which needs some attention placed upon it to aid it's release. I think if you keep on top of any discord in you like this then you have nothing to worry about; sometimes the neurotic concerns of what is 'good' for you and what is 'bad' for you does more harm than the things themselves! Of course I can only talk from my own experience dude, but hope it helps!
Take care x

Well said Dean I very much agree with you.
Thanks heaps dean i think moderation seems like the best idea Love & Light
Thank you Andy Love & Light
i posted it in your blog, and i am re-posting it here also... (it wasnt necessary to open 2 threads on the same topic).
..gaming or not, has nothing to do with Ascension...
it is the same as asking" "Does working for a living affect ascension??"... it's irrelevant...
there are people who may play games all day, and they can ascend just fine, and others who never played a single game, and they cant even lift their little finger...
personally i play games alot (included games with violent graphical content)... but not just any game... there are games...and Games...
but thats just my personal opinion, not a fact, cause i havent yet personally met anybody that he is ascended (gamer or not)...
..you will be lucky though, if u find anyone with personal experience (and not opinion) to tell u for sure...
and i doubt u will find such a person here... ;)
thanks man yeah wont be posting two threads any more thanks for your insight but i asked this question because i thought violent games mite feed negative energy. thanks Love & Light
