Hmm.... eloborate?

I don't see how living a Cloistered simple life is Mystical.

New Monasticism is essentially a modern take on living in a Monastery.



Pod'Lair Hijacked the MBTI terminology, renamed the functions and attempted to make it appeal to Religion, Psychology, Sociology, Politics, and Some kind of funky Mysticism all in one fell swoop. All while elaborately disguising what they are doing with strange terminology that can only be deciphered through a reading or through one of their Mojo Gurus.



In Christianity we have some pretty fantasmagorical mysticism going on in various places, like the secret or like Theophostic Pseudo healers or Christian Homeopathic Superstition.


I understand that New Monasticism is akin to living in a monastery, and I think that's part of the problem. You're supposed to sequester yourself in the NM community and yet reach out to the secular community? That doesn't really work. And you could bring up that's basically what churches do, but not quite.


I would be happy to discuss this with you, but not in this forum. I probably shouldn't have brought it up to begin with.

The funny part about Pod'Lair is that some of their harshest critics in the MBTI community have similar tendencies.
