This isn't even about taking money for an ethically questionable spiritual service; it is about everything in life, because if there is a tendency for strong desire it will play out in all facets of life and it cannot be restricted in a single area such as taking money from clients. Because this is not about your clients, but about the ethical dilemma of what drives your own motive, and, you can only be of service to others via your own self-awareness.

so if I understand, correctly corruption has many forms such as,
the seven deadly sins like gluttony (a sin I am working on that nearly killed me)
so if I also understand, correctly that is a battle we will fight in all aspect,
not just spiritually but on every aspect, but knowing and being aware
of this that first step one needs to take care and when we stray away,
knowing we did stray away, it's never too late to mend up,
we have have the power to resist corruption,
even if that Darkside we all must live with,
that part of each of our journey,
to learn to live at peace with our darkness without letting it
take over us since it will be impossible to get rid
of that side (part of being here, not perfect),
but with the ability to balance those sins and darkness,
that Darkside and the sins themselves become blessings,
we may look at first just as I did see it as a burden,
to not be perfect with flaws, but now I start to see it,
this not a burden this our key to ascending our true test,
to rise above becoming a channel and conductor
of all energy types, both negative and positive
and all elements.
