Seeing the Full Again

Most of the time, people will tell you that getting your mind all sogged with toxin or smoke doesn't do you any favors. Maybe they're right. If anything, it lends itself to a deeper ridge between thought and reality in your mind - But that's something you have to discuss with a developing creator as to whether it's good or bad. No creator I know is using all of their potential - but there's a certain point when using even a small amount with vigor destroys that once insurmountable force that could be stopping you. To get there, you've simply got to improve your frequency.

That involves breaking things down into small bitesize chunks. People like to feel like they're going in the right direction, so creating small checkpoints in your activities promotes this. For example, if you're working on some music, take a 10 min check every hour to see about whatever - the house, current responsibilities, people not in the studio/space, etc. Something that has little to do with the current processing of working on music. In this way you can work confidently knowing that you're not too deeply attached from outside processes.

It's important to to do this because today your actions ripple very broadly. If you do something, then there's a big possibility that you can see how it effects someone and something else - and fairly quickly.

So to see the full again, you have to get used to being out of your "Zone", because your zone is probably what's keeping you greasy. You've gotten comfortable with what you know and have known, and too deeply made this a habit. So think about it. Stop it. and start getting in gear.

To Degreasing,

After countless hours of downloading grease to my body, scathing my brain with drugs, and generally taking a sorry ass route, the same steps I wrote in idle moments now contain the potency I need to transcend the scene. As they say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, and that foo hopped out of the bushes with a mission. So, for lack of a better phrase, a mofo is READY nowadays. Take from this what you can and come back a lot.
