I've seen this happen on many occasions now and wonder why you feel that it is your task to remind everybody that money isn't of a sign of evil.
True enough, in the system that we live in we all need money and it is necessary to charge it when appropriate and not to underestimate the services that are being given.
However, saying that one should charge for spiritual help just doesn't go down with me. If that is the standard (and it sadly is) then surely no one will help anybody without money. Where's the benevolence?
Yes money is power/time/blood and the exchange of that is good, and some may have it flow to them as a tool for what they need to do here, but as our current money itself is corrupted how can you assume honest trade and stand for it?

i absolutely agree with this statement! i just "fired" my "healer" recently.... what really got me upset was when i told her i bought dinner for a few homeless guys in my neighborhood her response was "don't 'those' people have somewhere to go?"
oh yeah ..."those" people...yeah they always have somewhere to go that's why they are homeless..they have their neighborhood garbage bin to dine at...
we had a terrible few months at work so no "bonuses",the recession really hit hard here,i am still going through a bankruptcy, and i promised "those people" we would go dine at a neighborhood restaurant...i told my "healer" this and asked if we could postpone til next month..most people here are struggling to have jobs let alone worry about going to a $100 sound,colour therapy, chanelling session...
her response was "don't those people have somewhere to go?"
that just made my stomach turn.
even at my work many of our regular customers are doing much smaller orders now because of the crash..
then that same week i randomly met this guy who "teaches" self healing...i was reading a delores cannon book and we started chatting about time,meta physics,earth grids,reincarnation etc...he would not answer even one of my questions directly on what his "system" consists of...he mentioned "energy"...i asked" as in earth grids,ley lines,body grids, merkaba, ...what exactly...
as he was 'pitching" i should definately take a class from him to learn the proper tools to be able to "be at peace" in my environment...
yet..he could not directly answer any of my questions! i would have to take the class...at a mere $500 for 4 sessions of 2 hours each..then i would be "healed" and "know all these tools myself and skip along on my merry way...
i told him i thought people here were ****** up when a "healer" who is projecting herself to be an "ascended being" can not feel any empathy for a homeless person being fed and given some healing and love and she can just be so cold and just want her session.
he responded by telling me i really had to take the course so i can learn to better live in my environment..that i was just maladjusted...
so...yeah...
the money thing i have been thinking about lately too...
it just really really annoys me and really disappoints me in seeing where most people still are.
