Thanks Bart! I think teachers do need our support and should get
good 
salaries. I was speaking of those who claim to have esoteric
knowledge 
and who then sell their knowledge in lessons and such...
merchandizing 
it... putting it on the market block so to speak. Here I pity the 
students who have to jump through the hoops etc....

The best teachers I've have never set a price on their teachings 
because what they offered was priceless... can't be bought and won't 
be sold out!

Some other people come along and set about institutionalizing what
the 
greatest teachers say ... kind of creating artificial scarcity so the 
demand can go higher....sort of like the cartels we know about 
today...They write their own rules and so become powerful archons!
