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.

I think everyone has a right to charge money for a service. If you think about what happens when you go to a grocery store or consult a psychologist or even take your child to a daycare, you are in effect giving money for a product or service in return. But when it comes to spirituality it's hard to verify if the "product or service" you are receiving is actually true and not purposefully made up by the psychic or spiritualist. I think that is why most people say "Spiritualists should not charge" because you have no idea if you are being scammed or not. But to answer your initial question, Yes, there are legit psychics and spiritual providers out there that made it their career and turn a profit. On the other hand there are also some scammers and con-artists who made it their career as well.
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.
