As someone that has studied world religions, i would say not one cares specifically about MP games (as in it is never mentioned in any text).

However ones behaviour in MP games (and life in general) probably has some relevance to many of them.

Agreed. As one who has studied some Advaita Vedanta( a form of Hinduism ), specifically Ramana Maharshi and Nisargardatta Maharaj, I believe the objective world and your physical body is an illusion..... matter only being a by product/creation of pure consciousness. The key to bursting the illusion of an objective world is to be aware that one is conscious of that world and to focus on that never changing witness/observer rather than the external world.

Yeah, right.

So..... off I go into computer games where your persona is literally an illusion. I often use my playtime as a mental exercise to reinforce that what most think as real life, to the Enlightened, is yet just another game/dream/illusion.

I would also like to point out how prevalent video game addiction is where a game addict's avatar has so subsumed their real lives that they destroyed their families and livelihoods.

The ambiguity of perception is fascinating.

:)

P.S. The concept of heaven or eternity.....forever .....nothing ever dies or nothing ever changes.... hmmmm.....could potentially be very boring. I don't think our egoic minds could stand it. Wonder if I'll ever find out.

I would have asked him what the difference between your belief system and the accepted religions.


Because believing in miracles and holy spirits. Sounds awfully similar.

True.

But alas, when you go on about believing in fairies, unicorns & dragons, sincerely I might add...

Well I won't say anymore because I suspect I'm crossing the line on religious rules on this forum.

I have to say that I'm really enjoying the Heaven's Gate/Cthulhu Cult side story going on in Elite at the moment.

This sounds like an argument to KOS any hollow icon.

Kill the illusory self; Kill the Buddha; Kill on sight.


A good smiting in the tradition of Linji Yixuan is probably in order too.

Back on the topic of heaven, if anyone hasn't seen Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense concert video I strongly recommend it. One of the first, if not the first, concert videos I believe!

And just for Bigmaec, 'I have a tape I want to play.'

Gosh, next time we do Voyager can we put this stuff on the Golden Record?

If things like heaven, hell, angels, devils, ghosts, fairies, goblins, blah, blah ,blah, existed. We would ALL know about it. Not just a select few.

By this logic: We should all know; all there is to know, about everything.

i have to say that I have never heard of any 'blahs'. Are they a local thing to you?

Not everyone has prophetic dreams, and the spectrum for those who do, is huge.

I would like to think they have no souls, and as such they don't go to heaven.

What do you think?

I think it is as likely or as unlikely (delete as appropriate) as whether griefers, exploiters, gankers, saints, sinners, thieves, priests, murderers, bankers or donald trump will go to heaven

Seriously tho, cloggers who play in open hurt the game just like anyone who exploits loopholes in the game.... But end of the day as annoying as I find anyone who exploits the game it IS only a game and as such best not to judge their real life meat suit
