@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @Felthry @KawaSeadrake Catching up on all this.

For what it's worth, I've never liked or identified with my human body, but I'm finally starting to become okay with it the more my worldview changes to a more 'multicosmic' view. Put simpler, the more I am learning to detatch my view of self from my body, the more I'm ok with having it as "a chassis"

@KawaSeadrake @Felthry @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Also to touch on the earlier bit on spirituality, although I am otherkin and spiritual, I do not link the two by necessity. I will always stress that being otherkin doesn't require a spiritual bone, and that it's all Identity Stuff.

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @Felthry @KawaSeadrake For me personally, widening my view of identity to a multicosmic view helped me understand Different Types of Real, which in turn led me to better understand Belief, and thus spirituality being this construct of Internal Stuff That Matters

@Oneironott @KawaSeadrake @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Also being raised catholic and thus associating anything spiritual with weird arbitrary rules and sitting in church for an hour a week not understanding a word that was being said and the time my sunday school teacher punished me for asking questions.... makes it a bit hard, perhaps, for me to be spiritual. Plus I'm an engineer, with naturally analytical thought processes.

@Felthry @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @KawaSeadrake Born and raised Catholic and a software engineer here ;P
Yeah, I -definitely- needed the logical breadcrumbs to follow to get to where I am now, FWIW. I can TOTALLY approach things like that too.

@KawaSeadrake @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @Felthry ((although very not and never catholic myself))

@Oneironott @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @KawaSeadrake Yeah, same here. I call myself catholic (I live in the south, if I did otherwise I'd be ostracised or something), but my relationship with religion is complicated and tending towards atheism with a touch of spirituality or animism
