I've paid, received free, and bartered for the services of a teacher. In all three cases, I learned from those teachers. I've also quit paying, felt resentful that I was paying, and paid gladly--three different experiences. At no time was the payment or non-payment a central issue in the learning process, only a negotiation along the road.
Funny. One teacher I paid more to than the others and then I quit the services. In a dream related to that teacher, the amount that was taken from me was $200---and the dream indicated that it had been stolen. What I thought was ironic was that in daily reality, I paid this teacher the largest amount out of the several teachers I've had but my dream indicated it was only a paltry 200 bucks. A perceptual shift that indicated to me that the amount I actually paid wasn't of great significance in the whole exchange.
The bartering arrangement was the best of them.
Money is a medium of exchange---we make of it what we will.
