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.

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.

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!

Monasticism and Secularism are two extremes.
Any person can embark on the spiritual journey in a decent community.
