Aya Hypothesis

The proposition that life, and particularly consciousness, is a fundamental, ubiquitous force of nature—a "field" or tendency inherent to the universe—rather than a rare chemical accident (named after the Babylonian goddess of dawn, light, and renewal). This hypothesis argues that under the right conditions (which are far more common than assumed), matter must self-organize toward sentience because the potential for experience is baked into the fabric of reality, much like gravity or electromagnetism. Life is the universe's way of perceiving and interacting with itself; consciousness is not an emergent property but a latent one that actualizes where complexity allows.
Example: The Aya Hypothesis suggests that if you find a planet with Earth-like stability and chemistry, the emergence of life is not a one-in-a-billion lottery win, but a near-certainty—like water flowing downhill. It posits a "consciousness gradient" as real as the thermodynamic gradient driving energy flows. An alien biosphere might look nothing like Earth's, but the Aya principle dictates it will eventually produce subjective experience. In this view, we are not lonely accidents; we are localized expressions of a universal tendency toward awakening and dawn (Aya).

Aya Hypothesis

The archetype of the pure, burdened light-bearer—the kind-hearted force (divine or human) tasked with holding back corruption, healing wounds, and meeting impossible expectations, all while secretly yearning for freedom, knowledge, and the very darkness she's supposed to fight. Aya represents the immense pressure of being the designated "good one," whose inner power and desire for self-discovery are stifled by duty and arranged destinies. Her struggle is between the radiant role she was born into and the more complex, shadowed person she longs to become.
Example: "The valedictorian, drowning in AP classes and her parents' medical school dreams, was a living Aya Hypothesis. She spent her life healing her friends' crises and being the 'perfect light' of her family, while secretly reading dark poetry and dreaming of backpacking through places they'd call dangerous. She wasn't fighting an abyss; she was fighting to explore her own, to be something more than just the golden child everyone relied on to blind them from their own darkness."

Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis

The Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis is a symbolic-metaphysical model that reinterprets ancient Mesopotamian deities as representations of foundational layers of reality rather than literal beings. In this hypothesis, Abzu represents the primordial void of potential, Nammu the undifferentiated generative substrate, Enki the principle of order, intelligence, and structure, Aya the mediating force of manifestation and transformation, and Anki the totalized cosmic system integrating heaven and earth. The hypothesis proposes that ancient myth encoded an early extraphysical ontology describing the emergence of reality through layered abstraction.
In a cosmological model, Abzu corresponds to dimension 11 (void of possibilities), Nammu to infinite probability, Enki to law-forming dynamics, Aya to interface layers between realms, and Anki to the unified multiversal structure governing all levels of existence. According to Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
