Yes, another note.
Off topic yet not so.
On taking time to ponder subjects that simply bubble up, such as for instance, the subject of “recreation centers” There is opportunity to recognize our language becoming diluted, watered down. Consider that these so-called “recreation” centers in our communities were at one time seen as places of opportunity for personal re-creation, time away from working and thinking about work, a time of relaxing the mind and entertaining alternate experiences and opportunities. These “centers” were places where community members would go during time away from their routines of work.
“Entertainment” too has the capacity to be much more, beyond the present most general dilute interpretation of the term. Consider underlying intentions available within “entertainment,” this rather under-appreciated expression. Humanity has had the tendency, and I am attempting to be careful with the choice of words, thus, “probably for convenience,” to unintentionally dilute the meanings and the interpretations of many words, thus leading to the loss of meanings thru disuse.
Here is a request that experiencers of expressions such as those mentioned above, momentarily, consciously, take on as your own ideas surrounding some of what is expressed here.
Of course, that is obvious, you knew that…Yet “humanity,” you know, those other people, they have been subdued to view “entertainment” as a time for popcorn, cola, and momentary amusement. This is a re-mind-er that entertainment is as well an opportunity to entertain the concept of becoming more conscious, more aware, and more receptive.
This particular interpretation of “entertainment” involves opening to the entertaining of possibility. This form of entertainment involves taking on at least momentarily, a concept, possibly a new belief, and consciously internalizing it as your own, to entertain possibility, to enter into the possibility of attaining something.
“WHOA THERE COWBOY! THAT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE MAKING A CHANGE!” Internalizing, yes that does sound as though it might be a little outside the old comfort zone.”
Yes there is a possibility that internalizing may be an opportunity for serious stretching of the old comfort zone.
Especially that is, if one has taken on a perspective and an attitude of possibility. This is part of the “expanding of the limitations of current perceptions.”
In preparation we might consciously expand the limitations as to that which we consider to be currently within our comfort zone.
On becoming more consciously aware we may be finding that maintaining rigidity, staying the same is no longer feeling comfortable. Entertaining the possibility then the action of increasing awareness and changing could become part of our expanded comfort zone.
The result might be that there are no longer feelings of discomfort.
