Quick analysis on Flow
By: Uriah "The CivILLian" Walters

Control leads to Relaxation, which leads to Boredom, then apathy, next is worry. The worry is guilt from laziness.

You'll get so worried you'll build anxiety (the next step), which hopefully may build arousal (next step) to actually do something.

Once you master and grasp this arousal, you'll then have flow. Flow is like the epitome of self-expression. Creativity and all.

I'm trying to obtain flow and run with it, never letting go of it.

Usually, when a person has flow, they'll get used to what their producing until it gets stale, unoriginal and redundant, lacking creativity.

As soon as that happens, you're back in control, where you started.

You ever noticed that control in music artists?

Their first album can be so genuine, bringing something new to the table.

When it's time for the second album, that flow they had seems used up. There's nothing new and that artist seems to flop.

I think when an artist releases a new album, it should sound completely different. THere are so many creative juices they could be using.

spontaneity helps preserve flow. Discover the improvised side of your art, and your flow expands.

The reason why we lose our flow is because spiritually our flow is a garden "Check out 'The Shack'. "

When you don't take care of a garden it rots and withers and turns into a "mess" that needs to be worked on.

In flow, when we reach a peak in an artistic formula, we may not be necesarrily growing in our craft. We may just be exploiting it...

We're just showing off what we can do while in all essence we're starving it.

That's why complacency is a killer. "I'm not where I need to be, but I'm not where I used to be." Should be our mindset.

Folks who are cocky enough to consider them selves as the best at what they do are indanger of being consumed and controlled in complacency.

Take Lil Wayne for example (whom is having less and less fans consider him the greatest). Do you not think he can do better?

Do you not think ANYONE who also raps can do better?

That's not operating under flow. THat's operating under control. I want artists who have and stay in flow.

I like to think Mos Def stays in flow. What I hate is his critical fans.

I still find it hard to believe how many folk hate "The New Danger" and "True Magic" and even "The Ecstatic", claiming Mos has flopped.

You asked these people why and their reason is because the albums don't sound like "Black On Both Sides" (His first album). C'mon now!!!

That even tells me that even Hip-Hop fans (especially Hip-Hop fans) seem to fall under that mode of control. All 4 of Mos's albums are dope

But I digress... Just obtain flow people. Flow within yourself. GOD blessed us with gifts and talents and purposes us to obtain its flow.
