Ah yes. Definitely a problem. It does cost money to guide people though. Buildings, retreat centers, ceremonies, musicians, incense, books, whatever, they all cost money. And the spiritual guides themselves need to eat somehow... Of course it could all be by donation.... I just hate when donations are extracted via guilt or fear mongering......
Really, so much of society is built upon fear as opposed to co-creation, support, and love. Its time for a new paradigm for sure....
