Does anyone think its wrong or shady for someone to say they are spiritual and make a living from it? I'm not going to say it's 100% wrong, or that it's 100% right.
I mean, if I'm having a spiritual talk with someone and I give my own little discourse, I'm sure as hell not going to say "and by the way that'll be $30" or demand some kind of repayment. I think that's horrible and a slap in the face to true spirituality. This is what really bothers me about fortune tellers and gurus, in that they want to live "off of the grid" yet cannot sustain a living without the ones they claim to enlighten unless they can be 100% self sufficient. Authors and lecturers fall into this as well.
