Line 6: A person's heart is the same as heaven and earth so the energy within circulates similar to the sun and moon.
Line 5: The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself.
Line 4: The body should be able to change direction at any time.
Line 3: A person's unbalance is the same as a weight.
Line 2: The manner of inhaling and exhaling is either soft or hard.
Line 1: The Eyes must see all sides while the ears must listen in all directions.
It occurred to me that even if we remove the numbers and let the terse tomes of the ken-po goku-i free float that if we arrange then in another way that they would actually fit the defining lines of the I Ching's hexagram's.
We can look at it another way as well. The first two lines of the originally numbered tome were of Heaven and Earth in relation to a person's heart while the sun and moon reflect the persons circulation of energy as referenced by blood circulating in the body. Those two stand alone and can be represented by the two line of the four, that comprise the eight trigrams, and that make up all the hexagrams.
I began at the bottom as does the hexagram of the I Ching when divining and interpreting meaning. The reason I began with eyes and ears will be explained further in a later post or reordering of the tomes. I moved to breathing which is of higher importance since that feeds both the body and the mind. Then about the body. Then the line five and six equates to the mental training necessary to properly apply martial arts in life.
Just another interesting view of the ken-po goku-i.
My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

Kenpo Gokui
A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
