Higher states
of consciousness
“[C]learly video
game play captures gamers’ attention and enhances
it. … This absorption and flow overlap in ASC
[altered states of consciousness] experiences
and perhaps in the development of HSC [higher
states of consciousness] at its best but may also
lead to addiction at its worst.“

God Video
game to cultivate ‘inner peace’
„Our challenge

specifically video games, offer a solution to
this problem.”

The magic
circle
„All play moves
and has its being within a play-ground marked
off beforehand either materially or ideally, deliberately
or as a matter of course. Just as there is no
formal difference between play and ritual, so
the ‘consecrated spot’ cannot be formally distinguished
from the play-ground. The arena, the card-table,
the magic circle, the temple, the stage, the screen,
the tennis court, the court of justice, etc, are
all in form and function play-grounds, i.e. forbidden
spots, isolated, hedged round, hallowed, within
which special rules obtain. All are temporary
worlds within the ordinary world, dedicated to
the performance of an act apart.“
Johan Huizinga (1949).

Mythologische
Verarbeitung
„In einer
einerseits hochtechnisierten und entmythologisierten
Welt, in einer Zeit, in der andererseits die Beherrschbarkeit
der mit der Technik verbundenen Risiken immer
fraglicher wird, ... findet hier möglicherweise
eine mythologische Verarbeitung aus der realen
Welt stammender Ängste und Probleme statt.
Die realen Probleme und Bedrohungen werden als
undurchsichtig, die eigene Rolle als ohnmächtige
und ausgelieferte erlebt.“
Tillmann Knopf. (1996).

High-speed
meditation
„There must be a reason why so many of the
people I know who enjoy videogames describe racing
a good lap in Colin McRae Rally or clearing waves
in Defender as a ‚Zen‘ experience. This
is understood to be shorthand for a kind of high-speed
meditation.“

Larger cultural
shifts at work
„I would
argue that the uptake of new media by religious
practioners and the resulting forms of religion
online points to larger cultural shifts at work
in the practice and perception of religion in
society. New media tools support networked forms
of community, encourage experimentation with religious
??
identity construction and self-presentation and
promote the drawing from multiple and divergent
religious sources and encounters simultaneously.
This encourages an open, fluid and individualized
form of religious engagement ,which compliments
what many scholars have noted as a move towards
“lived religion” where media resources
serve as tools to help redefine religious practice
contemporary life.“
