I have never seen a person working as hard as he...I'm not here to tell you to change your mind..your thoughts are yours ... I am not attracted to miracles..No one can force me into anything ... if you have willingness to improve Responsibility falls on u. its between you and life..if he thought religion I would not be responding now.I am autonomous self reliant, choose to listen & works on realizing - not even my own thoughts i follow.. my whole unconscious is conscious now..

[daniurb]

@adomjask

my friend, you are talking to the wrong person.. You are 100% in tittle to your opinion as I am to mine, and I would never try to change yours... I have known him for 24 years and I know what i am talking about..My friend I am not here to change your mind but to tell you that what you know of him is different from what i know of him...To your info I am a very strong, balance and confident individual ...

[amromatz]

I agree dude. I understand the "karma effects" that he was trying to say, but video games can range from anything. Some games like Grand Theft Auto are over the top, and some games have great storys and are almost like a interactive book. When people fret over the contents of video games, they should turn on the television. A 13 year old can see things on telivison easier than he can obtain a game. The world is far crueler than the whats on a video game and its effects can't be put on a disk.

[ncawadias]

I agree that Acharyee Ashree over simplifies things. Video games will have different effects on different people.

[duckcluck123]

meow

[A3arr0w]

Very right but it's the karmic effect he wanted to say

[MULESLAX]

Spike Dawg do you hab exbox live?

[ksisneh]

i agree with u bro.

[vicktech]

never ever any game caused violence in me.

may be only most dumb games.

[bunts33]

i see where ur coming from

its like

just because people are playing sim city doesnt mean more people are going to run for mayor. Or more people playing age of empires will increase the number of civilizations appearing.

[concord327]

no one can be spirtually-minded  spirit and mind don't mix- the point is of spirituality is to lose the mind-

and you can train yourself to stop the anger before you are "forced" to let it out- using video games to vent anger only causes more anger esp when you go to kill someone in multiplayer but you get killed first you get angry and want revenge then it becomes a cycle of violence, anger, i've been there many times- and wrestling? are you kidding me? if its skill its wasted, try reading

[ShyLilHarlequin]

I play violent video games in order to get out that rage that I would normally not take out on anyone else in real life. It's therapeutic to be able to fight on my video games and then know I don't have to do that in the real world. I can steal a car in GTA and know that I don't want to do that in real life because of the consequences that my character has due to that.

[VenusSatanas]

why do people have so much rage? I dont play video games, and i have no rage. maybe its because i do not train my mind to experience rage, and then release it with a game.

[audallas841]

All people experience negative emotions, including you. It sounds to me like you have a very good way of dealing with it, which is excellent for you. However, people are different and have different ways of coping with life. Some people read books, others watch tv, go on a camping trip, ect. ect. You shouldn't criticize someone for having a different coping mechanism than you.

[VenusSatanas]

they created games like this to entertain the masses with simple minded entertainments. there are more useful things to do in life than to press buttons on a game. Why not spend your time helping the homeless, or feeding animals, or taking care of other humans, or filling your mind & spirit with knowledge.

You people need better outlets in life than a video screen.

[draWdable]

You say this... But you are watching videos on youtube... thats not helping anything. You may use this as an outlet. People are different. Some like to use playing games as their outlet..

[TheRedFlagWarrior]

@venussatanas

So playing video game prevent you from helping the homeless and feeding animal O_O ?

very pathetic.

i hate people who want to force their belief on other like that.

i play video game and i DO help other people.

so shut up before spewing your bullshit.

[VenusSatanas]

@TheRedFlagWarrior yup. ditto.

[LoveDoujinshi]

VenusSatanas, I thought you were better than this. You are being so judgmental and hate filled about something you don't understand. It's hypocritical as you are trying to promote "peace and love". I try my best to be the nicest person possible, but I don't see what is wrong with wanting to have some fun, for the sake of fun. I read books, I play games, I watch DVDs, I listen to music. *unsubbing*

[daniurb]

you did not understand Achrya Shree's message at all.. and you have no idea of Karmic effects on the individual...

[SpikeDawgProductions]

Then enlighten me. I listened, I heard.

[pj7927]

@SpikeDawgProductions

Dude he is a spiritually enlightened individual. You will not be able to see what he is talking about unless you are elevated spiritually. His videos are to improve spiritual awarness. He mainly talking about the karmatic effect which is based on intent of killing. Doesn't mean that you will become violent but the intent of violence alone will generate bad karma. If you are using violence to deal with personal problems that violent intent will come back to you.

[daniurb]

@pj7927

I love your comment...I know Acharya Shree personally for the last 24 years and I am a product of his teaching...First of all he does not teach you to follow (I am totally against being a follower), you have to find your own path...He presents you with the ingredient to create...you must carve your own path....I am so delighted to have crossed his path, you have not idea of the rewards of transformation ...

[daniurb]

Listen to the story of the little fish, he was thinking he wanted to eat all the fishes that pass by him by his thoughts alone he was creating a certain karma the same goes with the person who plays the game Acharya Shree is simply pointing out what such things can do and what kind of karmic effects they can create it is up to the listener to decide what they want for themselves

if it is me I will think over very deeply

[daniurb]

it is about the game itself .. the intention of game the is to kill...so, when the child or the adult plays such a game he or she now wants to win...that person is creating an intention to defeat, or to kill that intention, at that moment, belongs to you Acharya Shree is simply suggesting that the intention alone can create Karma.

[j1g2w3]

Well said. I disagree that smacking a child is necessarily a bad thing, it can help induce discipline. I had my butt smacked a few times as a kid and I turned out ok. Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind eh?

[SpikeDawgProductions]

There are other ways to induce discipline, I wasn't hit to the point of abuse, but It still made me a pretty pissed off person.

[j1g2w3]

Fair enough, this is true that there are other ways. Thinking about it, my mum actually never smacked me or my sister again after one day we told her that she was scaring us. I think you make some good points. Don't agree 100% with all of it but you definitely have a logical argument and open up an interesting debate with Acharya Shree.

[j1g2w3]

Like you say with the wrestling, I think intention is really important. Like, wrestling is a sport, you don't go out there hating your opponent. Same as if you had to put a pet down, you may be killing an animal but it's to end their suffering not for your enjoyment. Def agree with you about the bigger picture on video games though. Supply and demand, it's a total cycle.

[jea740]

@SpikeDawgProductions

It bullshit, unless a child get trauma from it.

I had high spirtual expriences and i played shooter games from the age of 12 and it increased my reflex and visualalty and i never had the intention to kill.

On the other hand it helped me understand how intention worked.

Games are just a for entertainment like films are or wtf els.

[jea740]

@j1g2w3

Eh it depens on the child, most childeren i see who are quite or on other hand agrasive come from the excuse of the parent thinking that they are allowed to hit a child.

This create's real karma, ofcourse i agree that a child sould know his place but voilence sould be the last resort.

Because i know a lot of parent who are a little stesst or drunk and hit there child because they think its normaal

[finnsia]

@j1g2w3 you turned okay, others who were hit didn't. it's a 50/50 chance

[daniurb]

@j1g2w3

From what I see, many children of today have not being though good values...I feel sorry for them that they have to go through life this way... I agree with you j12w3, they call it though LOVE!!!

[crazyICPjuggaloZT]

im addicted to violent video games lmao but i could never kill someone

[crazyICPjuggaloZT]

mmfwcl

[PurpleHoneyBear]

If someone has bad intentions and takes them out on a videogame, then I am worried about that person. If you play games to avoid beating on someone or something, then I would consider you unstable and in need of substantive medical treatment. I would get professional help that is unrelated to killing things in the virtual world.

But I agree with the essence of your point, and really it is up to parents to step up and be the parents in the situation.

Great vid!

[SpikeDawgProductions]

Minor bad intentions, or bad emotions, not those of actually wanting to kill.

[PurpleHoneyBear]

Spike, I acknowledge your clarification. Though I didn't think you meant kill haha. I think that casually video games can be a good way to release stress and tension. If it can take you away from those things for an hour, then I think that's beneficial. We need entertainment afterall.

Those Backyard Wrestling video games are crazy whacky fun, too.

[jea740]

@PurpleHoneyBear

Medical treatment is not a treatment.

Druging a child does noting but supress not solve

[PurpleHoneyBear]

Actually it's a number of key things. Psychology, psychiatry, drug therapy. These are much better outlets because they actually address the issue instead of using a video game as a virtual punching bag because your parents don't love you, or you have some sort of mental illness.
