FRICTION STEP: Point Work

Now I want to illustrate two things about this Bare Metal Maximality project:

  1. Stand-alone print/e-books are obsolete

  2. The teachings themselves are infinite and can never be finally captured in a static format

Point 2 there is largely the reason for Point 1. I can keep deepening the basic architecture of practice established in Bare Metal Minimality forever. There’ll always be more to add. Going through all the hassle, time, trouble and expense of crafting a static “book” every 3 years or so - and still necessarly incomplete no matter the page count - is way too retro, sooo 20th century.

When you read posts like this one (below) you’re going to wonder, every time, why couldn’t this cool thing have been in the original book? That’s fair to ask for any one post. But within a month or two of being signed up here (Bare Metal Maximality substack) you’ll realize that this way is much better.

‘this way’ =

[a basic, statically listed print/e-book to establish terms and foundation]

+

[infinite ongoing realtime extensions, refinments, deepening, Q/A, AMA, etc.]

That’s the process of creating a Neverending Story. Producing a finalized book with that continuously self-augmenting quality is a contradiction in terms. Hang in here and you’ll soon have the equivalent of multiple books. That said, you MUST read the foundational book, Bare Metal Minimality, as your starting point for all these cool extensions.

In my most recent post here, I covered a detail of testing for relaxation vs tension, especially as applied to the Mantis drill in the BMM book. It involved the use of a single anatomical or acu-point (area). Now that’s been introduced I will give you another advanced hint on how to use that point in another drill to further max out the IP acceleration.
