Celestial Musings: Humans and Their Cosmic Kale Smoothies

Earthlings, it seems, have cast aside the traditional gods of their ancestors in favor of a new, kale-infused pantheon—New Age Beliefs. These eclectic doctrines, or 'mashups' as some might call them, involve an assembly of crystals, affirmations, and deep-breathing exercises, purportedly granting cosmic enlightenment and, presumably, better skin. Such practices can be likened to a planetary flea market of doctrines, where shoppers use ‘positive vibes’ as the inflated currency.
The New Age human does not merely believe; they manifest. Manifesting, a curious ritual indeed, involves humans staring at vision boards with fervor and chanting intentions into the void, all in the hope the universe is some cosmic Amazon Prime, ready to deliver on demand. It’s quite the scene—all the effort of prayer but with the casual hustle of a gig economy.
These belief systems serve as comfort blankets in a universe otherwise indifferent to their plight. Through this lens, ‘spiritual wellness’ becomes an indulgent Sabbath of self-care, where enlightenment is packaged and sold with a delightful side of avocado toast. Humans navigate their existential fears by repurposing meditation apps as emergency panic buttons. An impressive feat of modern adaptation, given their species remains fixated on swiping right for love or wisdom.
Stranger still, the New Age cohort has an ardent fascination with celestial bodies. They are guided by horoscopes like old-world sailors—just with significantly more Wi-Fi. Astrology, once the domain of dubious psychics and undecided millennials, now steers their life choices with gravitational allure. One must wonder if the cosmos feels any pressure to perform. Meanwhile, in the silent void of space, stars surely roll their eyes, perfectly in sync to a Mercury Retrograde rhythm.
Perhaps the most potent irony here is the human propensity to craft belief systems anew, like artisanal hot sauce recipes, forever seeking the perfect blend without spice-induced tears. In a universe indifferent to their endeavors, these tiny Earthlings remain ever hopeful, crafting meaning from constellations and oat milk lattes.
Ah, humans—the cosmic jesters. Enlightenment once required a mountain, now it demands a yoga mat and Wi-Fi connection.
