Dragonfly33	Posted Sep 8th, 2009 at 6:38PM I am monastic. It works for me and others like religious (nuns, monks, etc.) I am not a nun because I have cancer (you will not be allowed into holy orders when you are sick) but if I were not sick, that would definately be where I would belong.

pickynancy1234	Posted Sep 8th, 2009 at 3:16PM Of corse it is. I don't think it is for everyone, but in the world we live in today, I think it is more relevant than ever. Rated: +1Vote for this!
RRK1	Posted Sep 8th, 2009 at 3:18PM Absolutely. Whatever helps a person in their pursuit for spiritual revelation is relevant. It may not be my personal choice, but if it works for you - go for it! Rated: +1Vote for this!
pukirahe	Posted Sep 8th, 2009 at 9:59PM Monasticism and Secularism are two extremes. Any person can embark on the spiritual journey in a decent community. Rated: +1Vote for this!
