Maybe they don't get to decide what they need. Maybe they're here to learn (self-assigned) lessons that involve being poor or humble. Maybe they're at their best when poor. I know of a psychic who has MS. She says it's because in a previous life she was a doctor with a terrible bedside manner.
Deepak Chopra has said that perhaps the reason for massses of suffering humanity is that if there were only a few suffering, no one would pay attention. I'd bet all those souls volunteered for that. What's a few years of suffering compared to an eternity of peace?

Not sure how it's being professed here, since there are so many nuances proposed, postulated and asserted in the posts. It's probably not possible to literally teach it to someone. But one thing I am as sure of as I can be - stressing over it is counterproductive. Actually I personally may need to stop posting and reading about it for that very reason.
