According to Torah Law one can not be paid for teaching the truth; the word Torah means Teaching and money has no place in imparting the knowledge of the Torah or receiving the knowledge of the Torah. Religion finds ways around this prohibition.
There is no greater inequality than keeping a person ignorant–another attribute of religion. Religion strikes at the very essence of the Torah by calling her a Testament; the difference between testament and teaching is one is dogmatic and the other open for questions. Secular study also is more dogmatic than instructive–pushing the populous towards a common perception. If truth makes us free than the purveyors of ignorance are the greatest despots.
The Talmud-Book of Law makes the point that learning is not about how much or how little one learns, but rather the intention of one’s heart while they learn. The Cabala teaches intention is the key to freedom of choice.
