Violent video games lower vibrational frequency?

[Mr. Brightside]

Hi,

Do violent video games lower your vibrational frequency?

I've been playing them since I was 9 years old, and I'm 22 now. I'm not talking about the ethics of it, or if it will make you a bad person. It is empirically correct that most people who play video games don't kill each other. FACT. In addition, I have no desire to kill anyone, or fight in any wars. Video games don't influence people like that. So, in that regard, violent video games aren't bad at all, as, in this context, there are no adverese effects.

However, if we are here on this planet to raise our vibrational frequency, does playing violent video games diminish it, or keep it vibrating at a low level? And, if so, to what extent? Also, is this damage easily reversable, considering people take their whole lifetime to raise their frequency to a certain point?

I've heard and read that when we are in a loving state of mind, our vibration quickens...which is quite the opposite of video games when you are tying to kill the enemy. Even though it is technically not real, you still get the adrenaline rush, which means it might do so.

I'll admit, I love playing video games, and, if there is nothing wrong with it - ie, doesn't lower your vibrational frequency - then I will continue playing them.

What about less violent video games, like Super Mario, which has violence, yet it is easily accessible to, say, children. I don't like playing the GTA games (Grand Theft Auto), but I like playing Star wars games, role-playing games, like Morrowind and Oblivion, and violent shooters like Halo.

Finally, what about other violent media like movies? I love watching movies like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (a bit less violent, I suppose), etc. Do watching these, and engaging with them have the same effects? To a lesser degree, at least?

Thank you very much for your time.

It isn't really about the games. Why do you enjoy them and how much of your time do they take up?

Hello Mr Brightside,

I personally don't think it is about the games so much as how the games affect you emotionally and how that affects your world. For me the games with people chasing me trying to kill me stressed me out. At one point I decided I did not like that feeling so now I gravitate towards role playing games that just test my cognitive skills. Basically figuring out puzzles rather than fighting to survive. That being said others thrive on the combat. Most games do have a good conquering evil theme so to some extend I do think they can boost ones confidence and I can see how they can give one a sense of accomplishment. But the bottom line is if the game is stressing you out or making you angry and you are bringing those emotions back into to your regular life then you might want to consider choosing other games to play but if any negative emotions that arise due to the game stay with the game then I really don't think you have anything to worry about. This really sounds like your case so just go and have some fun.

Love,
Michelle

I spent the better part of a year playing Morrowind hardcore (everyday from the time i woke up to the time i went to sleep) which I look back on now and see it as a waste. I let it take over and didnt do much else, after I beat the main quest I played it a little less but still more than I probably shouldve....then oblivion came out and the cycle started over. While playing Oblivion I was introduced to Star Wars Galaxies and I spent 3 year playing that game.... the first 2 years everyday from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I rationalized that by saying "well at least in this game Im playing with other people so it counts as being social". The thing is; all 3 games were an addiction and I spent all my energy and time focused on them. So I think in that case I would have to say yes.... anything that consumes that much of your time and has no 'give and receive' value is lowering your vibes.

My third year of playing SWG became more about the people I was playing with and less about the game. Which I believe is a good thing because I made some friends I know I will have for the rest of my life (including my boyfriend who I'm now living with) that part of my play time is something I'll be eternally grateful for.

I dont think whether or not its a violent has anything to do with the way it effects you as long as you dont let it become your reality. Its a form of entertainment. I think the only time it can negatively effect you is when u let it take over and youre focused on only that.

I've become so ingrained with the vibrational field of nature that anything having to do with "mindless entertainment" seems to be a drain on my energy...to the point where I literally can't even watch TV anymore with the exception of an occasional movie. The violence in video games, in my opinion, does indeed keep the vibration of the player in a state of inertia (and very low). I believe this is done by the powers that be intentionally to keep the collective vibration of human consciousness as low as possible. So if you're a regular video game player, even if you don't have any violent tendencies of your own, then you're playing right into the hands of the dark controllers and should pry yourself away from it and spend more time in nature and do some healing/purification exercises. But the fact that you're still able to make it onto a website like this and found the Celestine story in your life shows that you must be very strong indeed. But please, seperate yourself from as much negativity as you can and embrace all things positive.

Love,

Brightside,

Video games in themselves are a neutral element, much as any educational tool (and I do use that term deliberately). They present a background element (game story and events, situations, etc) as the glamour to keep consumers interested, while the actual gameplay provides testing and experience on the use of certain intellectual or cognitive functions, such as hand-to-eye co-ordination. When looked at from this perspective, they are certainly a useful tool for developing some basic use and understanding of our mental faculties. Indeed, in the case of online RPGs, where social clans come together almost naturally, many players with any kind of organizational or leadership talents very quickly find themselves drawn to administrative roles in them and tend to develop personal characteristics in-game that may otherwise be repressed due to workplace, family or(and?) social conditions.

However, it's also true that some of these games, particularly those with violence as their focus, are deliberately constructed to reinforce a certain form of conditioning. This isn't a purposely negative mechanic, but rather a means to keep the players hooked on the competitive element of the game, be it against the computer or other players. In this respect, games can lower one's vibrational frequency - especially in the case of online gaming, where contempt and competition seem to go hand in hand among hardcore players, and any respect for one's competition is carefully hidden from the public eye by most.

The question that needs to be asked - not by any of us, but by you, to you - is whether or not you let yourself be taken over by your control drama while you play games like modern warfare. I'm a heavy gamer as well, but I tend to steer away from shooters and such - I'm more into online RPGs, which I mainly play for the social value. I know, though, that when competing with other players, tempers tend to fray and people get snappy. If you can hold yourself in reserve and not fall into your control drama, but rather encourage your in-game company to relax and enjoy the game for what it is, you'll find it a lot easier to maintain your vibrational frequency and even help those you play with to hold the same level.

In answer to your question: There possibly is something universally degrading in playing video games. I'm not going to say for certain there isn't, given that the nature of the collective mentality on the internet - in the gaming field in particular - is of a much lower vibrational frequency than what is normal in a social environment of almost any other sort. But if you're not taking any negative queues from the game itself or from those you play with - if you can maintain your energy during periods of intense competition and not lose your cool, no matter which way your game goes - then there's little reason to worry about your vibrational frequency.

That being said, the only other thing is making sure you're not spending too much time on them
