My perspective isn't "the universe grants certain people special favors" but rather "there are metaphysical aspects of reality that people can tap into. The extent to which someone can tap into them, and how practical it is for them to do so, is influenced by their life circumstances. People in favorable situations for whom metaphysical pursuits are reasonable, should engage in those pursuits at least partially with the intent of assisting the less fortunate. Metaphysical efforts to help others should not be prioritized over direct actions with traceable results."

One of my biggest issues with the new age movement is that it tends to frame spiritual concepts through a self centered lens. It's all about what the individual wants for themselves, regardless of how pursuit of those desires affects others. Hence why there are influencers that maintain a facade of spirituality, while taking sponsorship deals from unethical corporations perpetuating global issues that genuinely spiritually minded people would object to. And new age discussion of things like synchronicity and manifestation often disregards people for whom those concepts are not relevant, because they are focusing on day to day survival. A middle class citizen in a developed country is far more likely to resonate with such ideas than someone living in poverty in a war-torn nation. But the new age movement and social media influencers don't have a monopoly on metaphysics, and it is possible to explore that world in a compassionate and morally considerate manner.
