Calling Out Spiritual Practitioners Who Shame Others for Charging

There’s a whole crowd of people online who think spiritual work should be free and that practitioners are supposed to clock in for a 24‑hour shift and hand out services like charity. They act like people should buy supplies, drain their time, burn their energy, and “help the world” while the receivers sit there doing absolutely nothing except demanding more.

And for the so‑called practitioners who push this agenda? You do it.

If you want to waste your own time, go ahead. You do it all damn day and all damn night. You use up every hour in your day. You buy the supplies and do the work for free. You stay up late while people unload their problems on you and skip off feeling lighter. You carry all of it.

Let’s see how long you last before you realize it’s actual labor. Just because you have low self‑worth and don’t think much of yourself or your expertise doesn’t mean you get to drag others down by announcing to the world that spiritual practitioners shouldn’t charge. Keep your limitations to yourself. You go give the world free spiritual work!

Maybe try to sit in silence and figure out what’s really triggering you and makes you so uncomfortable. Go heal and stop trying to shame professionals who educated themselves, who have been doing this for years, who paid their dues, and who actually respect their time instead of treating their work like a hobby.

Even churches get paid. The same ones preaching generosity are out here begging, guilting, asking, and scheming with threats of fire and brimstone for tithes so the pastor can live in a big house, drive a fancy car, and spoil his mistress. They aren’t doing anything for free. Not one single thing.

Jesus didn’t work for free either. If you actually look at Luke 8: 1‑3, he had wealthy patrons like Joanna and Susanna funding his entire operation out of their own pockets. His basic needs, food, and travel were covered by other people’s money while he did his work. 

Buddha and the Dalai Lama  were not working for free. They lived inside reciprocal systems where food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and community support were guaranteed!

Somehow independent spiritual practitioners are supposed to work for free because you don't value yourself? We’re supposed to walk around in burlap cloths while sitting in a tent under a bridge because it’s a virtue to give and give and give and get nothing in return?

Absolutely f'ing not. I have done enough free work to last 40 lifetimes and it has gotten me nowhere. Energy must be reciprocated and balanced. The end.

Helping the world for free does not bring blessings. It brings entitlement, expectation for more, lack of respect, boundary pushers, and being drained into nothingness as people take and take and take. If you have so much time on your hands to give out free spiritual services, maybe use that time to work on your confidence and learn self‑love.

Stop trying to dim other people’s light and keep them small. Save that for yourself. You be the one to give away your time, skill, education, and energy for nothing. Smile while you get used up and taken advantage of. Go live, laugh, love, spread your light language, fart fairy dust, and leave the rest of us alone. M’kay.
