No. If there is absolutely no sensation at all, the mind cannot create a story that disturbs you.

Because disturbance requires some felt effect. If there is a story but it produces no body sensation, no mood shift, no contraction, no pressure, no unpleasant tone, no restlessness, no charge, no urge, then it is not disturbing. It is just neutral thought.

The mental model is Disturbance Needs Felt Charge.

The core DNA is: thought + felt charge = disturbance. Without felt charge, thought remains empty image, empty words, neutral mental event.

The first category is story without sensation. Variables are a sentence appears, an image appears, a memory appears, a future scene appears, a judgment appears, a comparison appears. If none of these produces tightness, heat, pressure, heaviness, restlessness, mood tone, urge, aversion, craving, or identity contraction, then the story has no disturbing power.

The second category is disturbance. Disturbance means something is felt. Variables are anxiety, hurt, anger, shame, fear, impatience, jealousy, sadness, pressure, unease, wanting it to stop, wanting something else, urge to react, urge to escape, urge to fix, urge to replay. All of these require some felt tone. Without felt tone, there is no disturbance.

The third category is mind-only event. A thought can arise as a neutral object. Variables are tree, number, old memory, random word, future plan, boss image, ad dashboard image. If no sensation or affective tone attaches to it, it passes like background text. You do not suffer from it because there is nothing being resisted or craved.

The fourth category is why this matters. It means your real practice target is not the story alone. The story matters because it is tied to felt charge. If you remove all felt charge, the same words lose power. I may fail with body contraction hurts. I may fail with no felt charge is just a sentence.

The fifth category is clean conclusion. A disturbing story cannot disturb in a vacuum. It needs vedana, some felt tone: pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral becoming charged. If there is truly zero sensation, zero affect, zero felt tone, zero body-mind charge, then the story cannot hurt you.

So the committed answer is: No sensation, no disturbance.

The line to remember is: A story can appear without sensation, but it cannot disturb without felt charge.
