In my experience pot users are often sensitives who have trouble dealing with their gifts and the negative crap going on in the world in general. Once upon a time I was a major pothead It was a loooooong time ago and there are still days when it’s easy to understand the desire to escape!

The money thing is something you learn over time if you are paying attention that is. I charged for healing at the beginning, it didn’t feel right as time went by and then I started to watch as great people I loved and respected lost their spirituality and became corrupted by the money or in some cases a type of fame. It was sad and such a waste of really gifted people. As for the indigenous cultures most of them had an interdependent culture where everyone simply had a role to play and those roles were discovered in childhood whether it was a hunter or a healer and the hunter provided food for the healer and his family and the healer worked on the whole community. Everyone took care of everyone and there was little room for corruption like there is in this society. Certainly no one would have looked at the situation as having to pay the healer, and no one sick was ever left without care.

Spirit certainly understand we are stuck in this screwed up money controlled world and it’s not like you are going to get in some big karma automatically for charging for something, but trying to maintain spiritual integrity in this world is the hardest thing I have ever experienced and those I respect would say the same for themselves. Bringing money into the spiritual mix makes it a thousand times harder, and will absolutely bring about money LESSONS which suck beyond words. Much better to find a way to support yourself separate from spirit so that spiritual growth is not limited or corrupted by the demands that money brings into the process.

If the goal is really to raise your vibration which is the best goal, then working on other people won’t help you and may or may not help them, depending on what you are working on within yourself at the time. The desire to help others is a worthy desire, the reality is though there is little we can really do to help others spiritually other than to be an example to the best of our ability in any given moment. There would be more vibration raising going on with less teacher, preacher, healer and more just going within.

It really is too bad that there is not a type of monastery where serious seekers could spend time on the journey that was connected to no religion that would allow a person to step out of society and work and money crap for a year or two or five depending on how long the person felt the need to be dedicated strictly to spiritual growth. Not sure if a place did exist how you would weed out the serious from those just wanting a free place to live though LOL but it’s a nice idea. Once upon a time the world was such that we had far more options than in this time. We have to work harder and be dedicated to accomplish our desires because of this world’s chaos but it is still worthwhile.
