manifestation

a practice in which you are expected to think about what you want, make it crystal clear for yourself, and have the guts to repeatedly ask for it, in whatever format you see fit.
if it's completely ethical or in your best interest to get it, you will most likely receive it.
manifestation:

Doug: i am manifesting a brand new, red BMW.
some God: why should you get a new car for free? what about the impact on the environment? what about all the resources that were consumed for it to be made? what about all the people that worked hard to make it? are they getting anything for free? do you really need that new car?
Doug: i am manifesting a brand new, red BMW.
(repeat for 10 min every day)

heavy metal

music genre that can infuse even the most sad romantic song with anger, making you feel the bitterness behind the soft flowing words, previously too subtle, before this translation, teaching us not to make the mistake of idealising toxic, co-dependant situations, and glorifying drama as passion - "It must have been love", a good example, and what many like to focus on when looking at their relationships.
for the keen introspecter, there will be truth to the words "heavy metal broke my heart".
researcher: what heavy metal would you recommend?
Doug: i think i'm gonna go with osmium.

electric car

something nice to do for the environment, especially if you live in a country where a large percentage of the energy is clean. even though manufacturing it has a big impact on the environment, because of those darn batteries that every electric car company, and not only, is working on improving to the point of exasperation, with your purchase, you would be supporting the research to build better things, faster.

blissfully silent vehicle at city-friendly speeds compared to the other one.

alternate definition: my e-baby
friend: you're getting a car? i hope it's an electric car, you promote them like you work there, don't disappoint.
Doug: placed my order. waiting. (pacing impatiently) delivery estimate sometime next year. this will be a hellish wait. it takes way too long to build my electric baby! we need to move faster. funding always helps. have you considered an electric car? better than that old Covid Audi of yours.

incense

something you inhale, like cigarette smoke, so be mindful to not develop lung cancer. skip!
the modern person: if i can't use incense sticks to build up an atmosphere and make my house smell nice, what else? diffuser oils?
Doug: what are they made of? hopefully something ok for lungs. check! but why not bake some cookies, you can add vanilla extract, it works! plant some nice lilies or citruses, and figure out how to get them to bloom in sequence, so that you always see and smell something nice around. or just bake more cookies with lots of vanilla extract, everyone will like you more!

a nickname sometimes given by the gods to very nice people

ethics

moral principals that need understanding and challenging, not just blindly obeying.
what makes you acceptable in the eyes of the gods, if deemed actually absolutely moral (true ethicality).

good reasons to do things.

how you get dharma points, to enter The (Real) Good Place.
about ethics:
Doug: can one be truly ethical with rationalised empathy?

maladaptive daydreaming

although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.

can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.

an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.

some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".
Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!
