Ok, I figured out how this is supposed to work.
First of all, the biological experiments were a success. I increased the dose of shrimp without negative adverse consequence and achieved an even higher level of vitality. I’m unsure whether I’m strong enough for e.g. weightlifting, but it should be enough to do my dayjob without fatigue crashing afterwards.
Onwards to the koans. The proto-koan point consciousness method is great, but nothing static will work for long. In my previous post I realized I needed to join it with the hand koans in a circular activation pattern.
I also realized that the proto-koan point method could be applied to the heart locus, with similar results, but for morale. Cycling between the consciousness point and the heart point reduced the stagnation/adjustment problem.
This was good, but it wasn’t quite enough. I had mental focus and well-being, but needed something else. The answer was a third point in the proto-koan cycle, at the groin locus. That gave me puissance, will to dominate, whatever you want to call it.
So, the full proto-koan method applies the point method first to the groin, then the heart, then the head (consciousness), then repeats.
Then the hand koans are available for channeling overmind activity as necessary, lengthening the lizard’s mandala circle / minotaur maze.
The proto koan structure has taken a lot of the load off the hand koans, creating some overlap, so I expect my hand koans to evolve into a more specialized role.
I’m pretty happy with the arrangement. I’ve got lots of work to do, and not much more to say, so I’ll leave it at that.
EDIT:
I was wrong. The hand koans are a pathetic distraction. Cycling the three proto-koans is all I need. Verbal thought is superfluous.
EDIT:
It’s worth mentioning now that linking the proto koans to breathing and tongues makes it even more powerful. I think this is my stopping point.
I think this works because there are three components to a man: balls, heart and mind. The proto-koan sequence simply reinforces each of these in turn. This results in manly right action.
To add in tongues, I envision the tongues energy somehow sinking into the activated point. I usually focus on a point for one or two breaths before moving on.
