Teachers, should they charge?

Nu Lang:
The tonal and nagaul are not the same.
When
I first moved to Hawaii, I moved here to study with a Nagual.  In an
exchange regarding the payment arrangement between us, I was adamant
that a Nagual shouldn't charge.  The Nagual said, "'Money is energy'",
that's all it is; yet, it's an exchange that allows me to give you my
time (i.e. knowledge, seeing, dreaming, etc.)  It took me some sorceric
maturity to understand, to really grok, that money is energy, that's all
it is.
"The
tonal and the nagual are the same".  I didn't accept this one years ago
either.  I wanted the two to be different; setting them apart allowed
me to grapple with them in a way that taught me their differences.  The
reason we (as sorcerers/seers) spend so much time "cleaning" the tonal
is to clear away all of the filters that prevent us from seeing that
they are the same thing.  It's the solidifying of the tonal that causes
it to lose it's nagual sheen in the first place.  So seeing money as
energy cleans it of it's "tonal" reputation.  It's putting it in an
"exchange rate" that we (as sorcerers/seers) can use rather than to
relegate it to a realm that oftentimes suffers as second best compared
to the nagual.

The nagual can only be witnessed
yet its nothing.
As can also be said about the tonal.
We bring the nagual view into the tonal. It changes the
tonal for us each individually (our perception), but its not a given,

we have to work for/intend it here for ourselves.
Yes, the "work" is the journey, to bring the two together so they are no longer banished from each other.
