If someone chooses to put a price on consciousness (especially one that precludes a significant part of the population from participation by their economic circumstances alone) then that is the litmus test for their authenticity to me - this is materially based, with material reward and expected profitable outcome, so therefore it is fraudulent.
Considering the claims being made are not of a material nature at all, seeking material rewards for sharing the information is a sign of their lack of integrity, you can't sell what does not personally belong to you and knowledge of consciousness belongs to no one man, in fact it's only possible potential to be realised is in sharing with others.
Or is there just no faith in the "universe" to provide for one's needs amongst the "enlightened" anymore?
There are many in the Spiritual Business at this time who promote products and services as if they do not appreciate your point if view in this. Now I am not saying that they do or do not, it just feels to me as if they do not.
In my view, most of the "enlightened" are not. Yet I know in my heart that they are doing there very best to awaken to expanded truths. So if that is greatly blessed and admired in the spiritual realms, who am I to say otherwise.
Now for those who wish to fight this shift or who wish to continue with "normal life". I see as much admiration for their journey as any other. I follow the Kryon teachings the most. For some time it has spoken about this Ascention process as being a long slow and gradual event. The last time a planet of free choice chose to Start this Process, it took one million years to complete that experience. If I understand some of these messages accurately, the quickest time frame it has ever been accomplished in is 1,000 years.
The vast majority who buy into this transformational shift, have expectations that are extreemly unrealistic, as I see these things. My expectations are much closer to 1 million years than the 1,000 years. In no way will we see an "enlightened" population within several generations. That is not the divine plan but it is the human expectation or need for most.
I hope my reply has not gone too far off that point you were making.
