Compared to mine, your thinking is fleeting and hard to grasp, but I think that is a correct translation.
>creating thoughtforms in meditation via sustained focus count as utilizing virtue and turning it into gong?
What is a "thoughtform" here? It may be my bad references for it, but I don't like the usual meaning of the word in the way it's used by most people. What I'm thinking of would be something like someone on /x/ creating some haphazard sigil and "charging" it to use it for "energy work". I'm aware the word is just descriptive, just as I shunned "channelling" because of all the new agers doing this in an unserious manner, but in the end it's also just a word.
My artifacts like the knives are technically also thoughtforms, but I never use intent to produce them. They are produced effortlessly as I break through the karma, and the virtue is instantly used up and formed into the artifact. I do know that the common "warrior" stance will produce a knife if held for a longer period, so if I want to produce one I do that stance, but it doesn't contain any thought aside from the focus on holding the stance correctly.

Even the artifacts I make now and then, out of which some are sharable, those are not created with the intent to make an artifact. They arise as the logical solution to a problem I wanted to solve.

I don't know if I managed to communicate the difference here; go on and make artifacts or "skill" objects, but don't set out to create artifacts to create artifacts. That's not likely to lead to any indestructible formation.
