I think I meant it in terms of 'experiencing the relationship'. Just as you rightly concluded that your relationship with the girl should just be experienced, so I think there may be a counsel here to experience your relationship with your art. Art is passion and a process of self discovery (I think) so with that in mind..Grace, thanks for your interpretation and thoughts. I have further inquiry in the form of an argument and questions listed below:
#1) The obsession with the girl. If that obsession were to be present now regarding my projects, that would actually be a blessing. That's the problem here, I am not obsessed. I can do it, but it's just like washing the dishes. You know, I feel nothing.
This is core to why I asked about the value of the projects, since worth-wise (personal value) it has nothing. How then does this reading apply to my situation?
#2) Preconceived idea. Of course there must be an idea else everything will just wound about and progress wildly, right? So this must be regarding expectations? Does your interpretation imply that expecting something out from these projects is pointless since they will mean nothing?
#3)Right frame of mind. This is somewhat disturbing. I know it is right to be productive, and I know being creative is part of who I am. So desiring to enjoy my creativity should not be a wrong frame of mind. Therefore, does this imply again that I should forget even asking the question altogether?
Well, maybe you need to stop and explore this feeling of numbness. It is there for a reason. Something has caused it. Usually, one would explore it through art, but I don't know if you feel like you can do that right now. Although going back to your hexagram, I would be almost tempted to suggest you explore this new feeling of lack of passion through experimenting with an art form you haven't tried before. Something entirely new to you.#4) Inner Stability. This form of stability is unnerving. I feel separate from who I was, or at least know I am. It just doesn't make sense that someone could suddenly lose interest on the things he is utterly passionate about. I'm not in a sense dead inside, rather, dispassionate. It's like I'm numb or something. So, what is Inner Stability? How does it apply to my situation? Any examples?
#5) Depression. Well, the word is dreadful. The fact about it is I'm worried that I've reached this point in my path. There's nothing I feel about these things I absolutely loved and fought for. This is regarding only my art projects of course. It's more of like watching a part of you just die, but that's all I really have and treasure the most. If I have no other interest, and this has somehow "died", then, OMG!!!
I have some questions also about the lines:
1. What does it mean to "give duration to one's character"?
2. What does it mean to "give duration through perseverance"?
