I think the essence of blue ray (and hence its unblocking) is taking full responsibility for your thoughts/actions. This means being aware of the likely potential consequences of thoughts/actions before acting, and when one has acted, to observe to outcome to see if there was a misunderstanding at play beforehand.
this 'total responsibility' for one's being is no light matter. Think of all the offhand stuff that one says in conversations, where words and intent are thrown off reactively at times.
having observed zen in the chatroom, I can say that nothing is done offhand, and there was full weighing of considerations.

and to be totally responsible, one has to be totally honest with oneself. And when one has been totally honest with oneself, one can be totally honest with others. It's like a chain of mental effects once one has taken that first step.
the same thing happens in green ray when you take the first step there.
