HI i would like to know the role of video games in the work. i feel like they are a huge topic in this day and age and i would like to be able to offer a viewpoint based on gnosis as to there effectiveness. taking into account what is bad for one person may be acceptable to another is there a viewpoint that would encompass this and also offer support to those addicted. I know other gnostic students who are troubled by this as well. Thank you so much!!!!!

I only write this because at times i have created a character based on love for the work and try to make them an emanation of hope inspiration and light for those in the virtual reality. i have even felt divine emotions emanate from this attempt. however there is another game specifically violent named counterstrike. i have played this since my youth.

The time you spend playing video games can be spent in meditation. Therefore, video games are a distraction.
And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason? -Quran 6:32

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
