I believe this unequivocally. If a person charges for their predictive or prophetic gifts, they are by definition a false prophet. I don't care how accurate or precise, if you are that good, you should not charge people. Profiteering, especially under the guise of psychic or prophetic abilities is pure evil. True prophets are chosen and DO NOT use their gifts for personal financial gain at the expense of others. This imaginary construct of money and our arbitrary assignation of value to materials items is what keeps us enslaved. Soon, the genuine prophets will be vindicated, and these two bit swamis who profit off others will be silenced

I am in no way defending the avarice and power grabs of organized religions, and I am especially critical of all facets of Christianity. I believe they perpetuate the greed and oppression we are plagued with today. If you have a spiritual gift and you are charging for it, that is morally reprehensible. Most of the time, these "psychics" or "seers" cannot even get the signal clear because they are clouded by their self preservation instinct that evolves into the ultimate blinder, self-adoration or narcissism. If you are charging for these types of services, you limit your ability to develop your gifts further. Money is just the instantiation of fleeting earthly power, it inherently lacks any "real" value. The artificial systems that keep people down are all man-made. They, those who are the "Invisible Hand" have created systems that they claim are objective, but under closer examination they are institutions that perpetuate the enslavement of the common people.
