Is it possible for a person to activate and utilize their heart-mind (either for dissolving blockages or performing internal alchemy), yet, due to poor energetic sensitivity or any other internal inhibition, not have strong (or any) conscious awareness of it taking place?
One of my favorite lines from the Tao-te ching is:
“If, with firm resolve, I had the knowledge to travel on the great Dao [Way], I need only fear that I might try to meddle with it.”
– part 2 section 53
( from The Classic of the Way and Virtue: A new translation of the Tao-te ching of Laozi as interpreted by Wang Bi. Translated by Richard John Lynn )Which I feel goes along with other sayings talking about how one attuned with the Dao takes no, conscious, action yet nothing goes undone. It is the ego with its need to control and manipulate which impedes that natural spontaneity. The natural flow is always there… it is not so much a matter of activating it as much as getting out of our own way and letting it happen.. i.e. a matter of going with the flow or fighting against it.
That tends to be the way I look at it.
