I fail to see credit being beneficial to anything other than the ego.
Am I wrong?

The way I see it, all credit is only due to the great awareness, if it doesn't go there than an ego must have intercepted it.

....What? What's credit? How does an ego intercept anything? There is nobody here to claim credit, and no credit to be claimed.
I'm not sure what you even mean by credit. Are we talking about your financial status or being able to claim you did something?
Also, if 'the great awareness' is what you call god/infinite/etc., then how could credit go to it? Credit is something that appears within it--the only way it could go to it is if it were separate from it.

Just like how someone writes a book in regards to awakening, and sells it to profit for themselves. Do they really deserve to profit off it?

We'll, I think that the achievement and being able to share it with others is reward in and of itself. I am therefore weary of anyone who attempts to make profit off the knowledge that should be given freely.

I am therefore weary of anyone who attempts to make profit off the knowledge that should be given freely. That's because you do not know the work and effort it takes to write a book and get it published. Anyone that puts in their time in writing a book or building a house deserves to be paid. Michael Awakening is not something that is achieved.

Michael, what is the purpose of writing a book and getting it published? To sell it and make profit. We are in the technological age, you can very easily type it into your computer and post it for all to see.

It is an achievement, in my eyes anyways.

We are in the technological age, you can very easily type it into your computer and post it for all to see. Yes so what if that's the purpose and your point is? Look maybe you are a garbage man and pick up the trash or maybe your a doctor and help sick people there is no difference everything serves a purpose if you want to spend your time writing as a job then you should get paid for it. You think because writing a book about something spiritual you should not get paid? What are you smoking? If someone writes a book on how to get around in NYC they get paid but if someone writes a book on how to awaken they don't? How old are you? Michael

Actually, think about that a second.
Do you think people get paid for the bible?
They are often given away.
Sure if you write about something else you should get paid. Not when it's something to point to the greater, that everyone should have access too.

It's not really yours to sell.
