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.
