Spirituality and making profit.

Do you belive that anyone who charges for spiritual knowledge is legit?

I understand that others have to make a living but I belive that spiritual knowledge shouls be free.

Also I relize that there is free spirituality stuff out there.

I would like to hear your input on this subject.

 

Namaste.

  • Well money sounds better to use, it's easy and everyone can use it:-)

    I really would not just paint a farmers barn for a piece of breed...you know how big barns are?

    Anyway i love helping though:-D

  • In a perfect world , spirituality should be not only free but should also be teaching at school
    at young age , spirituality is no religions but a gift we all have , in other words it's part of us .
    I'm sure if spirituality we're thought at a young age at school the world would go better .

  • ...if u can afford to give "spiritual teachings" for Free..... Go for it!!!

    if i was able to give any spiritual teachings... i would charge for sure...

    I Would say the biggest offender of this spirituality for higher or sale would be the organization of religion across the board its down to follow the money trails.  When churches fund both sides of a civil war, or the house of representatives in active office. Then yes the corruption and money run deep in the Vatican some churches aren’t that bad, but there still run as a business.  Tammie and Tim Baker come to mind, the 700 club with there twenty four seven fund raising, similar to what PBS dose twice a year.

    Using spirituality to play on peoples inherent open hearts and well to pull on the purse strings is criminal and evil out of men’s minds directed are our hearts of charity.

     

    As for The holy spirit witch is in you--- shall give answer when you have need and is no lie but the living word of God. Not when you remember a scripture or drop money into a passing basket.

    Not from the religious memorizations in scripture of men’s brains and much speaking looking to turn a dime.

    All scripture points to this living word that’s in you.  Speaking scripture from the head or book keeps the living holy spirit from speaking new living scripture threw your life and actions.    Written words of the past--(religion) or living word of god from your spirit.  that’s the dividing line in a living God and a written god of religion. This is what they all did before the written word popped up 200 years after Christ passed this on in all that he pointed to. 

    The book is left to interpolation as it applyed to the person it was written to then.  Living word of God is in the moment its needed and its for you, not the world or a religion to use for monetary gain.

    Its fine as a history book to see what they were pointing at-- the living word that lives’ within you the holy spirit.

    It’s a personal connection to your living word of spirit of God--- not a connection to a book of history.

    21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
    22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
    23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him- free of charge and give unto other's as you have been given.-.

    And all this was pointed to with out a book or scripture it didnt exsist then, these saying came from the holy spirit the living word in our heats.  Time to think about getting off the raft of religion in our heads--- and back to the living word of God that speaks in and threw you personally--- not religiously from the head. and much speaking and boasting of how well we know scripture, wouldnt it be better to get to know our holy spirit instead? Its Living. surtch your heart, not our head filled religion. ---like a parrett we speak-- is what it sounds like to other's  when we speak words of religion instead speaking from your heart of the living spirit thats in you, then just maybe then people may take notice and may quote you like they did in scripture of those that spoke of things in there heart from our father in heaven thats also in your heart.   know Him living in you, not scripture in our heads. its all about were your looking.


    15And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

    16But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

    17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

    this is why i say "i am not a christian"--- but I am a child.---  big difference surch your hearts not religious dogma's and beliefs.    spirituality is free you carry it around in you from birth,  look in and not at the money changers out side of you.

  • Spiritual gifts are a rarity and are not "taught' or "bought". They can't be loaned, borrowed, rented or given away to others. Therefore, when one comes to realize this and is in search of personal assistance through the "use" of these gifts, a fair and even energy exchange (money in this case) should be rendered for services provided by the spiritual teacher. Gifts can be "described" to and used for others but can not be given "to" others, as the recipient must be "endowed" with them from Source.

  • yes ok.

    However the ONES WHO ARE SINCERE do spread the info FOR FREE; but sometimes they ask for donations

    and i dont think thats a bad thing to ask... cos they have bills to pay y'know;

    & the creator understands that.... and still gave them the gift... to work with it how they want

    the one's who are bogus; overcharge & are corrupt & dont follow what they preach; they are the ones to be wary of !! so use discernment folks

    <3 !

  • Since we live in a world who is run by money i think is okay to just like * STAR * said

    ask for a donation or a little something to atleast bring something on the table to eat but

    this is only for those who does this for a living and those who really teach the true spiritualty .

    Like we all know this give an opportunity for scammers to make easy money over this so you need

    discernment . The monks would do it for free as they eat and sleep for free too .

  • yes people who charge money for spiritual knowledge *CAN* be legit,

    but like evrything use YOUR OWN sense of discernment.

    It isnt *bad* to charge money; hey that guy/girl has bills to pay... and they're taking time out of THEIR DAY to help educate someone... so its a SERVICE, and its also a horrible fact we live in  a world where food, and bills have to be paid!!

    it isnt a crime someone asks payments; becos money is energy (anyway)... but here's some tell tale signs

    1. shouldnt NEVER ask for extreme amounts of money just donations

    2. never force for payment

    3. use discernment at all times, does the persons info resonate? does it ring true in your heart?if you are in doubt; do not pay ANYTHING

    those are just real simple tips; to avoid being conned by a few charlatans! <3

  • Depends, spirituality covers a wide area of fields, most of the so called "mediums" and psyschics are just scammers, that just play with people emotions and lives.

    But for the real people out there is something very well deserverd (and sometimes needed), and there is starting to appear lot of gentle people that are willing to share their knowledge without monetary retribution, making that knowledge avaible to more students :)

  • There are many "legit" spiritual teachers who charge a fee for teaching their services. I myself taught TM (Transcendental Meditation) for years. The fee(s) were set by the organization, not by me. The teachers then received some money back to help pay for their teaching expenses and the full time ones needed money to pay for their living expenses. Without the students paying a fee no one could afford to teach.
