Hmm... In general that kind of embrace would be called necing.

So, not Latin obviously, but: {nec} ?

Latin for either "neither" or "nor." It's a shortened form of neque, used when the meter requires it.

So one way to say "em*brace* the power of neither" would be:

{nec2}

Another way would be:

amplectere potestem 'neque'
or
amplectere potestem 'nec'
