Hi M,
I understand your point. A lot of spiritual figures cop the same criticism - that the information offered by the Creator freely, should be shared by the Creator equally freely.
apart from selling books, how else to make an income? they often do workshops and seminars for the dedicated adherents (pricey weekend getaways), or sell their own dvd's/music.
inevitably, though, becoming a 'public figure' who takes the stage involves the generation of an 'attractive persona', and a bit of salesmanship. Those who have a keen compass for the truth in all things will detect such acting very quickly - as you may have done here.
some people also privately envy those who have a platform from which to speak their ideas/truth.

oh yes, and thanks for reminding me about Thoth. I had forgotten about that!!
