Everything I Learned Sitting with a Money-Driven Dibia

Not all lessons are learned from good examples. Some are learned from proximity; by watching carefully, staying quiet, and noticing patterns you can’t unsee.

Sitting with a money-driven Dibia taught me more about what not to become than any warning ever could.

What I observed was not what I consider as “power”. It was pressure, a lack of peace. Not wisdom, but restlessness. And the longer I stayed, the clearer it became that this path, though flashy on the surface, is one of the most spiritually expensive choices a person can make.

Here is what I learned.


The Chase Never Ends

A money-driven Dibia is never satisfied.

No matter how much they make, it is never enough. There is always another client to squeeze, another promise to exaggerate, another fear to exploit. The hunger for more is unquenchable.

This is because money, when made the center of spiritual work, does not bring security. It creates dependency.

The Dibia becomes trapped in an endless cycle of chasing the next payment just to maintain the lifestyle the last payment created.

Peace disappears early on.


They Attract Consequences They Can’t Carry

When ethics are compromised repeatedly, imbalance accumulates.

To deal with the spiritual consequences of their actions, money-driven Dibias often turn to unnatural forces for protection.

Protection from backlash. Protection from spiritual debt. Protection from the instability they themselves are generating.

Over time, their practice becomes less about guidance and more about containment i.e keeping problems from collapsing inward.

That is not power. That is maintenance of disorder.


Clients Become Transactions, Not People

The priority is not transformation, it is extraction.

Clients are rushed.
Fear is amplified.
Urgency is manufactured.

Instead of helping people regain balance, money-driven Dibias keep clients dependent.

The more confused or afraid the client remains, the more profitable the relationship becomes.

This is a fundamental betrayal of spiritual responsibility.


Ethics Are Flexible When Money Is Involved

This was one of the clearest lessons.

If a line stands between them and higher payment, the line moves.

Truth becomes easily negotiable. Personal boundaries become optional or stretched. Warnings are softened or exaggerated depending on what pays better.

Once ethics become conditional, divination loses clarity. And without clarity, everything else is just noise.


They Are Dangerous to Learn From

Not because they lack skill, but because they distort values.

Watching them long enough, you begin to see how easily power can rot when not anchored in responsibility. Their methods may look effective in the short term, but the long-term cost is always higher, emotionally, spiritually, and karmically.

They should not be modeled. They should not be admired. They should not be normalized.


Why They Must Be Avoided

A money-driven Dibia does not just harm themselves, they also harm others.

They:

  • Mislead seekers

  • Delay genuine healing

  • Create fear-based dependency

  • Introduce unnecessary spiritual complications

Even when results appear, they are often unstable, short-lived, or costly in ways the client only discovers later.


Final Thoughts

Choose who you learn from carefully. Not every elder is wise. Not every practitioner is aligned. And not every “successful” Dibia is worth listening to.

What I learned sitting with a money-driven Dibia is simple but sobering: If money leads the work as the singular motivation, disorder will follow.

True spiritual authority is calm, ethical, patient, and service-driven. Anything else is performative, expensive, exhausting, and ultimately destructive.

Watch carefully. Choose wisely. And never confuse noise for true spiritual power.
