The use of gaslighting, specifically in regard to spirituality.
Gaslighting as a tactic to further spiritual fundamentalism and doctrine, either consciously or unconsciously.
For example, the spiritual teacher who tells you what is either right or wrong, based mostly on anecdotal evidence and/or their own unexamined introjects, is unwittingly using the psychological tactic of gasenlightening, often due in large part to a gross misstep in understanding their own countertransferences and emotional wounding.
Rooted in the oft misunderstood spiritual concept of enlightenment, or the belief that there is a specific spiritual path - with a definable end - that will lead one to some sense of greater understanding or blissful state.

“My guru (read: spiritual teacher) told me that I would incur ‘bad’ karma if I don’t continue studying with them...”
“That sounds like your guru is gas enlightening you.”

Get the Gas mug.Gas Baddie (noun)
Pronunciation: /gas bad-ee/
Definition:
A woman whose beauty, confidence, and energy are so elevated they transcend the usual scale. She’s not just attractive — she’s gassed (radiating presence) and a baddie (stylish, empowered, desirable). Put together, the combination multiplies — the sum is greater than the parts. A Gas Baddie turns heads without trying and owns every room she enters.
Origin:
Coined by two friends as a natural evolution of urban slang, Gas Baddie emerged from the logic that:
“If someone is gassed, she’s extremely good looking. If she’s a baddie, same deal. But if she’s both? That’s a whole new category.”
Originally conceived independent of any weed reference, the term has been misunderstood in some circles due to the alternate slang meaning of “gas” as high-grade cannabis. Let’s clear it up:
Gas Baddie ≠ stoner baddie.
Gas Baddie = elite-level beauty and confidence with amplified energy.
You don’t become a gas baddie. You are one. Or you’re not.
