Whether it is consciously being disregarded or not is unknown to me, but this guideline is most definitely being overlooked from time to time. It ruins the atmosphere, if you understand my meaning of the word, on this board. This site, this forum, is purposefully designed to be a more harmonious place to communicate with others. We are all still human, and I understand this as well. However, it is quite obvious to me that sometimes members on this site purposefully provoke others, without heeding the forum guidelines.
I do believe everyone is intelligent enough to understand that if you feel your pride is hurt, or your intelligence insulted, that you can still participate on this forum without provoking or attacking other members...
I highly recommend the approach of ignoring those who provoke, no matter how tempting it may seem to speak back to them, and let the moderators see for themselves who is trampling on guidelines and let them do their job of moderating this site.
....it may not be easy or even desired by some...but I also suggest forgiveness, of self and other self, on this board.

No one is getting shut down or censored. We welcome free speech at B4!
I am just reminding everyone to please be courteous and avoid direct judgmental statements towards others.

Ultimately, there is no polarity. And you're right that STS has its place. However, we are in the density of Choice, in which we choose STS or STO path. Thus, what might be appropriate for someone choosing the STS path might not be appropriate for someone choosing the STO path.
We all have different opinions about what is appropriate, which is why respect is required.

I personally agreed with Lorna. I personally could not play a violent videogame. Especially after seeing a movie called The 13th Floor (which, incidentally, had redeeming value as a creative work of art!) in which the main characters turned out to be digital characters in a video game. I just can't quite bring myself to shoot zombies after that! Who knows how many potential entities I'd be killing, or thoughtforms I'd be creating!

Actually, I think passiveness and radiation go hand in hand.

There are fourth and sixth-density Wanderers whose ability to serve as, shall we say, passive radiators or broadcasters of love and love/light are immense. There are many others whose talents brought into this density are quite varied.
It's the negative path that is the active path of taking for the self.
So, I can see how those who are considered inactive, "slackers", by the eyes of society could be those passively radiating love and acceptance!
By the way, you made a great point about being able to use movies and even games as experiential catalyst. I think that's the positive side of the technology!
RE: Ha ! 'Slackers', 'lazies', 'losers' ... - Derek - 03-09-2011
I was a massive consumer of video games and television for many many years. Most of them revolve around the worst kind of things possible. That is a fact. Sports do not involve killing, stealing, raping, materialism, greed, underage sex, glorification of drug use etc etc etc. Television and video games do. Are we going to defend that as an "art form" for young (very young) children to consume and become addicted to? I can assure you from ALOT of experience (all I wanted to do was play video games at one point in my life), that they DO effect both children and adults very strongly and subtley. This is certainly what the statistics and research suggest as well.

Ah, maybe we are using the term in different ways. I was referring to inactivity, as in, passively watching tv, without any interaction, as opposed to passivity in the context of peacefulness/meekness.

who says video games aren't educational lol
A video game about secret societies... hahahahahaha
and here is what it says about the game
Imagine if every myth, conspiracy theory and urban legend was true. Imagine if your worst nightmare came to life. Imagine a world where vampires hunt for mortal blood in dingy London nightclubs, where werewolves lurk in the sewers beneath Seoul, and where the undead prey on the living in the shadows of New York City. This is the premise for «The Secret World», Funcom's upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the modern day real world.
•Urban environments - Throw yourself into the bustling urban environments of New York, London and Seoul. Shop for clothes, weapons and accessories. Stop by the local nightclub to socialize with your friends before heading out into the darkness that is slowly encroaching on the city streets.
•Real-world locations - Discover real-world locations throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and America. From New England to Egypt, explore vast lands full of detail and story as you unravel the myths, legends and conspiracies of the world through a unique, story-driven gameplay experience.
•Freeform gameplay - Experience a game that has no classes or levels. Truly freeform character customization allows you to create the alter-ego you want to play, and gameplay that goes beyond the usually rigid MMO structure allows you to play the game the way you want to play it.
there are 3 factions.. illuminati, templars and the dragons
at first i thought dragons? i don't wanna be an orion! lol
but the game is different
the illuminati is 100 % STS
the templars are 100 % STO
and the Dragons are 50/50 balance.
this is funny hahahaha

Being that thoughts are things that contribute to the creation of consensual reality, why would we want to imagine such a place?

I could write endlessly on why, and I realize that none of you would begin to understand where I'm coming from at all and never will, unless I word it exactly to the way you can understand... so screw it I posted it because it was fun for me.
why? for the same reason why some people appreciate art in museums and some see it as a waste of time
for the same reason why naked people are regarded as dirty in some cultures, while the naked body is regarded as beauty in others.
PERCEPTION IS KEY.
RE: Ha ! 'Slackers', 'lazies', 'losers' ... - BlatzAdict - 03-10-2011
in the words of my music teacher who is teaching us music theory for children- because there is no life without drama to tell a story in music.
if everything was consanant... where is the catalyst. the change in depth, the journey.
it's not about the means to the end, it's about the journey of self discovery, of learning.
most of all it's about the imagination that is required for the adept. going back to that time where u could pretend u were a cop or a robber without a second thought, before the world of reality got to your mind and sucked out your spirit.
the light and dark come together to mix and coalesce. is what creates movement. and cause it's fun. why do u do kung fu? or yoga? i could say oh it's only about fighting.
though as a kung fu practictioner and someone who knows the art, I don't think it's about fighting, it's about determination, spirit and discipline.
while zombies themselves are an allegory for the unawoken.. hence the husk of flesh with nothing but hatred and anger. it's just a symbol.
Carla likes to watch sci fi.... probably because it reminds her of a time when it was all possible subconciously.
the imagination is the gateway to the third eye and to adept work.
the game is almost like a figurative metaphor for life itself. or any game for taht matter
what is a vampire really... are there real vampires? yes
energy vampires. people who constantly worry about this and that..
are there real zombies? yes people who work 9-5's without a second thought to anything but their job.
I understand patterns and symbols instead of taking things for face value. I speak and comprehend the language of the higher self, and dreams.
Where others simply work with the face of reality, i work with the face of the invisible and of energy. It's something you probably understand a bit about as you like metal, why do you like metal. There is a story told in the music of metal itself, whether it is metallica, or whatever your kids get u into.
There are high points in the song, just like there are low points in the song.. if they were all high points there would be no character to the song, if there were all low points it would make a boring song. even so... killing zombies to let off steam.. is a lot better than punching other people in the face.
from playing counterstrike i found that getting pissed always makes me suck
so i had to learn how to not feel pissed or scared when someone came out of nowhere to shoot me
so it was making me keep my cool, under tense situations especially when things got bad
and it's always when you get pissed off, or stressed or acting like a wimp when something scary happened, it's only the creator reflecting itself back to you... as parts of yourself you have not accepted or integrated.
if you want to look at it negatively, it made me desensitized to killing or whatever... which isn't true at all i cry when i see sad things happen in movies. i feel bad when i see real things get hurt..
i laugh when i see someone trip.. but i cry when i see someone in pain.
but i don't look at it like a pessimist. the way i look at it is it helped me handle tense situations.. and learn to keep my cool and not to explode out in fear, or to explode out in anger.
it's always the people who suck that let themselves get angry or explode out. and all the gamers make fun of you for getting so pissed in the first place. which is what i was trying to show with the picture i posted to unity which is about "rage quitting"
which has everything to do with gamer culture.
perhaps it is purely our difference in generation, or perhaps it is the age of my soul.
from a completely non ego perspective...
i know so many gamers who aren't violent, and are well rounded. similarly you only attract what you see and what you expect out of life.
and it just makes me want to take a stand whenever someone says video games are evil
might as well say gay people are evil, or rap music is evil, or black people are evil, or whatever else that doesn't fit into the society's norm
you don't even know the culture.
science was regarded as the devils work once.
and so was metal music.
and so was just about everything else that was new, that people didn't "understand"
games are fun and evil is only in the eye of the beholder since there is no such thing as evil
if you sat down to play wow (world of warcraft), you'd see good people and bad people, annoying people and cool people, funny people and sad people. maybe you would see some lazy people, productive people, people who neglect their kids, people who don't neglect their kids.
unfortunately because of the media and the way this society is we only hear about the bad things people do, but u don't go and hear news stories about people who donate their ingame money to their guilds, or people who meet up together to help each other finish quests and get dungeon specific loot.
no you only hear about the a*******, the rejects, the bad people, and the bad side of it.
why am i so passionate about this anyway. because i have met so many damned good people playing video games.. and for any of you to say video games breed bad people... is to say that all these great people I have met over the years are bad.
No it is you who is bad for judging a group of people as if they cannot take responsibility for their own actions when they do. It is the hearts and minds of gamers and of the anime subculture, that see the fighting, and fight for their hearts, for a better tomorrow, and they feel this burning love for humanity and for life, through the stories that are conveyed in each hero of each video game, anime, tv show, movie.
It's that shining LOVE that they feel, that emanates outward... and it's that very energy that you do NOT see, because love is invisible and yet it stabilizes the energetic fields around this planet. this whole completely unseen world, but instead it's oh it's all about killing and violence.
NO IT'S NOT.
haven't any of you ever remembered being a kid.. and reading some comic book and reading about some superhero that saved the world and u wanted to do that. haven't any of you ever gotten super excited at some thing your parents hated, and u went and did it anyway... you experienced it, you learned from it, you grew as a person from it, slowly but surely to get to where u are at now.
life is like one big video game
reincarnation is the reset button
and the things we kill
instead of monsters and enemies
are our own inner demons and our own inner zombie.
for the record i'm not trying to tell any one of u to think video games are good. i'm simply saying it's not right to say no one should play video games because they are wrong and evil and influence society to become more violent or whatever.

There's nothing lazy about keeping your heart open. Meditation is hard work. Takes all your effort and energy if you really want to keep pumping through the bright light and love.
Can't sleep your way to enlightenment. Still gotta work for those meditative achievements.

I used to be a semi-professional gamer, and I can say from experience that the many, many people I encountered over the years played in a mental state that stems from fear (protection/aggression/jealousy), rather than love/peace. The same applies to friends while growing up (from childhood through to university).
There's your problem! Professional gamers often don't know how to have fun. They're neurotically focused on winning at all costs.
I was semi-pro also. Was at the top of the games I played and made money doing it, had corporate sponsors, everything.
I believe the state of mind that most people utilize to become #1 in these games is very much adrenaline-based. I think that some pros do it in love and others do it in fear. I've seen both. I've seen pro gamers who clearly come from a place of love and love everyone and the game and everything, and others who are totally fear based, motivated by fear, and hostile towards others. I would agree that among the pros there is more fear than love, in my opinion. But it also varies between games. I like the vibes of the Korean pro-gamer community, some really nice people.
Casual gamers on the other hand are a totally different breed from the elites.
Games in themselves are neutral for polarizing in my opinion. I think they can easily be time wasters though -- actually just as I wrote this I recalled the part of the LOO where Ra says that the effect of most entertainment media is just to waste time, and does not cause significant polarization in either direction.
I think some aspects of the media complex are definitely there to control the masses and many have essentially negative effects (ranging the gamut really) but there are others that have clear positive effects (there are some tv shows and movies that vibrate with so much love and joy!).
Anyway I still play games in a casual way but I strictly avoid getting pulled into negative vibes while I play. My main focus is just social actually, to have a good time playing LittleBigPlanet with friends.
It's the message that counts, never the medium. Also you can't underestimate the power of what you bring to something!
I really really really don't believe in rigid rules that can apply to everyone. Everyone needs to figure out what best helps them get what they want. You just can't for sure tell someone else what is going to be uplifting to them.
(Although I absolutely believe that you can statistically measure the effect of a particular artwork on the population as a whole. But these facts are only relevant to those with their hands on the pull-strings of society, not individuals like us.)

quite perceptive and accurate. only maybe in regard to fear - there is much more elitism and desire for proving self worth in progaming.
what game did you play as semi pro ? starcraft ?

RE: Ha ! 'Slackers', 'lazies', 'losers' ... - Richard - 03-10-2011
Everyone responds to excess in their lives differently. At what point does a past time become an obsession? Only you can judge that for yourself. No matter what your friends say, your family...if you are deep in addiction, the only person that can make the decision to change it you. Derek apparently recognized that he had a problem.
But we are not all like Derek. And our interpretations of "games" can be different. I discovered online games a couple of years ago. Being older than most here, it was a late discovery. I have made friends from all over the world. Canada, Australia, Belgium, Iceland, Norway, UK and Russia to name just a few. We email each other, talk on Skype...about the game ...and just life in general. Lot of these people are almost like family. We help each other in game and out of game and get to know each other without the cultural facades getting in the way.
All wrapped around the skein of a pixellated game.
Experience or catalyst can go either way. Its what you make of the situations you find yourself in. If you accept that everything is just as its supposed to be...then perhaps you neeed to search for the lessons you've set yourself up for.
Thats why none of us can judge each other by our own experiences.

RE: Ha ! 'Slackers', 'lazies', 'losers' ... - @ndy - 03-11-2011
I'm finding this thread of interest too, I live with someone who has worked in the games profession for 20+ years. He's an artist and it's not a good time to be 'creative' in games.
Games are massive money now like films so people wanted guaranteed sellers.
I also play games. I like group pve content and working together as a team - I play with people who make games, and it's interesting to play with them. They analyse and enjoy the content, the art, the engine and such. On the whole these people genuinely are so passionate about what they do, they want to move people, engage, people amuse and entertain them.
I'd defo agree with games being in the lower chakras - but there’s nothing wrong with that imo, all in moderation, there great time wasters.
I also agree with people who say it's the player and it provides catalyst.
I really like people and find them endlessly fascinating, so when someone kills me in an mmo I wonder why - especially people who kill me again and again or when someone kills you when your afk, I try to wonder why they do that.
For the most I feel wonder and love at them, I admit the occasional thought of getting my main and squishing them but it's something I'd not follow through.
Even pvp style is what you make it, I spent an hr the other day duelling with friends while chatting on skype. No anger just trying to out play each other and having a laugh

This tickles me. The picture it paints for me is one in which I'm playing with my wife or a good friend and it's funny to hear their complaints about constantly losing. (funny for them too) Not that it would be torture for them, because they really aren't playing to win anyway.

lol counterstrike source is a fps.. usually all the maps are user created content. there are usually about 50 people playing. the point is to run from point A to B.
At some point in the beginning one guy turns into a zombie, and only has a knife while everyone else gets a gun. The zombie however has about 10,000 hit points so he is very hard to kill, but if a zombie cuts u just once, u turn into a zombie.
So none of the zombies walk very slow they all actually run really fast and the only thing that can slow them down is shooting them. It's really fun because everyone laughs and makes jokes and acts stupid. You hear a lot of sound bytes being played at the most opportune times, like Get to the chopper, or something similar.
since all the maps are user created there is a stargate sg-1 map, a pirates of the carribean, indiana jones, star wars, and a plethora of other zombie escape maps. plus i like it cause everyone acts like a retard and laughs at each other.

Everquest2 Extended, Blatz. I have an account on DDO also, but haven't played it in months. Just don't have time for more than one MMO and the Everquest world is just huge.

So what you are saying is that you enjoy perceiving the world through many different levels simultaneously, and in varying combinations?
