Seriously anons, how do I become a hermit? The government is going to make a registration of people who won't get vaccinated and companies will refuse to hire people who are on the list, in a few months my life will be completely destroyed unless I get vaccinated. The only option I have is going to the wilderness and surviving like a hermit but what the fuck should I read or do I don't want to start this and fail. Another option could be joining a monastic order but I have a feeling that they will be expelled from their properties in matter of decades.

Christian hermits and monks didn't "survive in the wilderness" through their own industry and labour and devotion to God, like the romanticised picture would have you believe; they lived off the money of hard-working Christians, they were literally proto-NEETS. In return they prayed for the people who sponsored them (lol), but it's not like their vows were strictly kept, I mean almost all monasteries brewed ale and beer. They were leeches and hypocrites, that's it.

>I mean almost all monasteries brewed ale and beer
And... What's the problem with drinking some wine from one time to another?
Most mystical texts use wine as a symbol
of a deeper experience with God.
Also, didn't Jesus even mutiply the wine in a party?
What's your point?

Do you know the medieval story about the man who saw the monks living luxurious lifestyles while giving water to the poor as "charity" which they had been using to boil vegetables?
He came up to them crying and said, "I feel pity for you friars."
"Why, my son?" they said.
"In the Bible it says, 'for every one you give you will receive a hundredfold'."
"Why should that make you feel pity for us?" they said perplexed.
"You will have a rough time in paradise; for I see you giving away so much vegetable water, that in heaven you will surely drown in it!"

monasteries produced goods and sold them, you retard, many of them important such as candles but a whole range of agricultural products such as cheese, grain, beer, eggs, cured meats, etc. the church had quite a lot of land. the point of monasteries was basically work and prayer to absorb your attention meditation-like. they were beyond self-reliant, they were economic actors.

also, why are you pointing out beer/ale as if it's a gotcha when it's a staple drink of most of europe at the time including for monks?

monks made money, they sold stuff to villages and nobles alike, they were basically a worker-ran business to support their communal living. Greater monk organizations in the form of orders were just a network that monasteries could rely on in case of financial or spiritual crisis, not a strict militarized order like the jesuits and the modern myth of monks. They were much closer to a federation in structure
