49.1.2.3.6 > 6 How do I do my biz up this week?

[itsyourlife]

Hi all

I just asked

How do I do my biz up this week?
and got so many lines changing on hex 49 to hex 6

i havent really gotten into it but i thought im having conflict with my motivation and ambition
and procrastinating?
its a creative biz and i need a lot of vast green fields, mentally, to get to that zone and create objects repeatedly that people will buy.
its not hard for me, but right now it is. ive been having a hard time getting back into my life, my business has fallen to the way side.

i also get 49 a lot regarding my relationship with 56 guy... he whispered in my ear to get a smart serve certificate for serving, on the premise that i could work with him for an event on friday, but it seems he was just instigating me to gain documented certification of a skill.
i was annoyed cos i had limited funds when i paid for the course yesterday and i have no ambitions of being a waitress, but when i do do serving and kitchen work its cos im doing it for or with friends.

i want to activate myself to get back into being 24/7 mad about art and making things
i forgot how to do it

do you have any suggestions on this based on the reading. i havent really gotten into the lines. and im off to do some errands but ill come back and would love to hear from you
xo

What does "do my biz up" mean?

 

[itsyourlife]

I mean, make it better. Get it up and running optimally.

Been thinking about it. Still not really going into depth but just the gist of the context and hexagrams.

I think its telling me that I need to change my business model. Its not working anymore and I keep thinking my business' success will continue by me doing the same things I did, but those things were circumstantial and its not working as it was anymore. Also Im a bit tired of it.

I just dont know how to fix it to make it work again.

I dont know how to merge all these other things Ive been doing, and I think I need to keep those realms somewhat separate anyway, so Im not sure merging them would be a good idea.

How does one get into a creative frame of mind? By exposure to the creativity of others and persistence. I have spent hours this week trying to make sense of Lautrec's Jane Avril and Père Cotrelle at the hand press, and it wasn't until just before going to bed last night after and exhausting day that I was able to make sense of it. That is, a change in vision comes through conflict (6) with conventional and habitual responses. Wrestle with the angel. Line 6 suggests help from unexpected sources.

Thank you.

Wondering what made you think of linking "Lautrec's Jane Avril and Père Cotrelle at the hand press" (as a child)?

Were you thinking of them together or separately?

I note Cotrelle was also an electrician and a landscape photographer. http://www.chemistryexplained.com/Co-Di/Cottrell-Frederick.html#b

So I gather he figured out the method of reducing unwanted toxic particles by neutralizing the charge of the contaminated space with opposite charged probes..

And the painting, the muse, lovely story.
Though I would not like to end up like this lady. Or am I this lady?

On a personal current note, its interesting that St. Vitus was Sicilian, and that dance of worship to him turned catch phrase for spazzing got her admitted to hospital and eventually led to her becoming a dancer.

So Im meant to see 56 guy for a party. I dont know if its for real or what. I dont have any plans then and I can do it if he actually is for real. It would be interesting to see how this pans out.
If go all the way there and its for nothing, what would that be? Id be an idiot is what that would mean.
Meanwhile, I begrudgingly took the smart serve test over 4 days and took the actual test late one night and got 1% below passing :headdesk: but luckily, there are two tries, so I retook all the practice quizzes and have gotten 100% on all of them but now Im kind of scared to retake it, but a friend who took it says to wait for him so I can take it with him around

Pocossin thank you, youve given me some hope.
I have asked a long string of questions regarding these matters and Im going to keep my fingers crossed and best self forward this weekend and see what happens and hope to act right on time..

Here is Lautrec's picture of Jane Avril and Père Cotelle at the hand press.

She found a liberation in art that she could not find in life.

 

[itsyourlife]

what a strange painting.
thank you for clarifying.

she did find that liberation she could not find in life through art, because it was interpreted in a different way.

i do need to look at how i approach my understanding of "my business" in a different light.

making money is my business as i am self employed.

need to go back to my art, the need to reactivate the part of me that makes art and chill on forcing the crafts as cash. maybe "do a job", like, actually work, for someone. cant do the art if im working on the crafts. but if i have a real job maybe i can work on the art.

i still cant figure how to combine it all.

could this possible encounter (has it happened already?) do the trick?

what angel am i meant to wrestle with? is it the one inside me telling me "its not working, keep working at it" ?
why cant i just get along with this silly cherub?

The one inside that is holding your back. The allusion is to Jacob wrestling with an angel.

Our greatest obstacles are within.

Yes, the best thing would be to have a real job for a number of days per week on a reliable basis and have the art business as a side-line business. That way, the presumed losses from the arts business offset the income from the job and your life becomes sustainable on the financial level. You would have structured time and unstructured time, and not too much or too little of each. The trick is to find your niche in the world of work; decide what you can do that wouldn't take up too much of your headspace and leave your energies free of entanglements. That might very well be waitressing, since you're already into it, but it could be something else ...

thanks ginnie.
ive known it

the trick is that trick you mention.

i put it out there to my friends who run kitchens and own restaurants that i got my smart serve certificate.

with my business, im focusing on workshops and tutorials instead of pushing the objects, im trying to teach others to make them.

will update when/if i get a 'steady job'

Congratulations on getting your smart serve certificate.

Doing workshops and tutorials instead of spending time in manufacturing objects seems the best way to go. Who wants to turn their life into a factory job.

 

[itsyourlife]

so hmm. job time.
i got the smart serve card in the mail yesterday.

since this post ive done random things, some fetish things, some really funny things i wont say here,
ive applied to so many jobs but really have limited experience on paper.

i got a new boy, he is so helpful to me, getting me groceries and always supplying me with attention and an inspiring confidence.

56 guy is still on my mind though. today i got some messages from him and his cousin.
his cousin told me about a place they have in town.

now i asked what does cousin mean by telling bout their place?
57 unchanging

then i asked what can i expect if i go look for it?
i got 14.2.5 > 13

so im thinking, ok cousin replies and shows himself now because he is there for me to implore. he is feeding me info and allowing me to enter in the small niches 56 guy refuses to budge on. cousin told me 56 guy cares and that he is flooded with work at the moment.

so when i asked if im meant to go look for the place, cousin said he is working now, i think he is working there, and i had previously said if i meet you, i will hug you. and that got a reply. so i think, yes, cousin wants to meet me, or is at least open to it, so im going to look for the place.
and bring my resume. just in case i find it.

itll be like looking for a sushi restaurant in japan but at least i got the cross street.

if i dont find it, im coming back and im just gonna go back and make stuff.

14.5 is saying go look for it right? and that if i find it, and find cousin, itll be awesome?

any thoughts?
wish me luck...

Yes, you should have good luck if you go there. By the way, you have a really interesting style of writing in English, a style all your own. You must be a truly creative person. I hope they appreciate you.
