I was thrilled when I stumbled into this web site. "At last," I thought, "A site that purports things I already know or believe. Here I can grow and share thoughts with other lightworkers." Partially true. Everything here eventually costs money. I've always found it fascinating that spiritual people seek to make financial gains on aspects of humanity that could better the entire planet if they were freely accessible. We talk about spirituality - the non-corporeal essence of our true selves - and yet stay tuned to the corporeal part in attempt to manifest money. An examination of religious and spiritual history proves the greatest gains were made when individuals ("prophets" if you will) freely shared their knowledge so that it could be spread to others similarly. I understand the need for money. But it appears to me that the main writers/contributors of this site have enough money to sustain their lifestyle and quest for more knowledge, whereas people like me do not have abundance because I share my resources in assisting those in need. So to answer the question posed on this page, spirituality will be serious when the true nature of our beingness, love of mankind, is more important than the love of money. Otherwise, spirituality is just a subset of Capitalism. Yes, will spirituality ever be serious and when will it break out of its stereotype?
