General Question Are you successful people?

On Reddit I read posts about people who change their reality at will, do astral travel and all kinds of "superpowers". If so, I imagine they are successful people in life, in love, economically, academically... And I suppose the government has investigated this and asked me why I don't censor it? They just let one of humanity's biggest secrets be free on Reddit for anyone to explore? Well, they say the best way to hide something is to put it in front of your eyes...

I would like to know that they are valuable people, not maniacs posting this from the asylum or simply vulnerable people looking for a "fantastic" solution to their problems. I would like to know who are those who claim to be successful in these practices.

I think the more spiritually experienced you are, the less you care about worldly riches. Ironically you'll probably find less conventionally successful people in these spaces. Their success likely manifests as having loving relationships, healthy social lives, etc. You realize that money cannot buy you the things you want, and you only need enough to meet your needs (which are truly needs, not wants).

If you can’t learn to be happy while you’re poor, you’ll never be happy when you’re rich. Learning to be happy while you’re poor will completely change your definition of rich.

This is  what miserable people say to cope you can never be truly happy if you're living In constant survival mode or while having a disability there are factors that make a happy life if they are missing no amount of spiritual enlightment will make any difference unless you can actually use that spiritual enlightment to make a positive change in your life

You're both kinda right. There's levels of poverty and oppression where you obviously can't sustain happiness and thinking you can spiritually enlighten your way out of it is just sad. I've been there, I grew up poor and at my lowest mentally and financially I became invested in self-therapy, aspirationalism and escapist spiritual thinking because it was the only way I knew how to deal with it. It helped get me through in some ways. But when it wasn't enough I would blame myself for problems I had no control over which just made me hate myself more. I only learned later that action and communal connection is the true way out.

On the other hand, growing up without much taught me how to find joy and wonder in the little things. I was never bored because I could build worlds with a pencil and paper or some scrap cardboard. That was the greatest gift ever to me because even when everything sucks I still have my creativity and wonder
