Esoterismo e simbolismo
Here is the original text. I probably copied more than I should have but it's just to give you an idea of the big picture. The author uses a very symbolic and metaphoric language, so sometimes it's hard to figure out exactly what she is trying to say.
"Quanto mais tenho permissão para adentrar nos mistérios do corpo mais observo a força inteligente que emerge de um sistema tão delicado. São tênues fios que se encontram e tecem as histórias da história de um ser infinito. Cada fio é preciso e fiel às exigências das substâncias que o compõem oriundas de diferentes espaços, garantindo a textura e a consistência necessárias no tecer dos desdobramentos da vida no corpo. Temos a fidelidade da entrega e a precisão da confiança como base dessa organização. Caminhar sem reconhecê-las é estar *à parte* do processo."
Here is how I tried to translate it (but I am not very happy with it):
"If one moves on without properly recognizing these forces, they will be doing so but detached from the process."

on the margin of/outside (the process)
on the margin(s) = a person on the margin(s) of a situation or group has very little power, importance or influence.
Longman Dictionary
Despite the minor pronoun reference problem in the text, this is what I understand: caminhar sem conhecê-las é NÃO PARTICIPAR DO PROCESS0 (NÃO TER PODER DE INFLUÊNCIA OU DECISÃO NO PROCESSO, ou talvez, NÃO EVOLUIR COM O PROCESSO.)
I might be reading too much into it, but I think "on the margin" would fit the context and would create a nice picture. "Outside", though correct, is not as strong.
