Conspirituality

Conspirituality is when people believe in conspiracy theories and mix them with spirituality or New Age beliefs. Imagine you have a puzzle with lots of pieces. Each piece is a small idea that, when put together, forms a big picture or theory. Some people like to make their own pictures using their own pieces. Others believe in popular pictures that everyone agrees on. Conspirituality is when people take some popular pieces of puzzles that are not proven or real, like secret societies controlling the world or aliens secretly influencing us, and mix them with spiritual or New Age beliefs, like the idea that we are all connected or have an inner power. So, they take these pieces and put them together to make up a big conspiracy theory that they believe in. It is important to remember that these ideas are not scientifically based, and some people may believe in them even though they are not true.
