I'm a female of course but what does it mean if I crave to be a monk, is this a past life that is unresolved

Question

? I would love to know how you find out about your past lives. I just know I want to be a monk in the benedictine era.

Answer 1

You get one life.

Perhaps your calling is to become a Benedictine nun today. Read more about Benedictine vocations here: http://www.stgertrudes.org/Membership/Vocations/vocations.htm

Answer 2

If you are attracted to that, sometimes the monk from that era will make his presence known to you. It's happened before to others. You just have to find out more about it, and find a place. "Many are called, but few are chosen" and all that jazz. Sounds like a calling to me. Even if but in a small way, you could make it yours. Forget about past lives. Everything happens at once.

Answer 3

You know that Benedictine monks didn't believe in past lives, right?

Answer 4

You're wasting your precious life on unverifiable assumptions. Being a monk may not bring you happiness because It's what you feel inside that counts.

Answer 5

Monks at times take a vow of silence. Are you sure you can be a monk?

Answer 6

A woman can be dominantly male, and vice versa, dearie. Without being Gay or Lesbian. Ever hear of a Tomboy?

Answer 7

go see a shrink before your mind cross to the Twilight Zone

Answer 8

why does everyone think they are something noble in a past life

Nobody says "I was a prostitute in 18th century France"

Answer 9

join a monastary

Answer 10

*shrug* You could always try being a nun.
