Monks, Nuns & Reincarnation- Mother Clare Watts

[dmhewey]

@Theosis3131 Belief in reincarnation was known even in Christ's day. Matthew 16 "He asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Belief in reincarnation was known even in Christ's day. Matthew 16 "He asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Since the abovementioned were already dead, it is apparent that some people thought Jesus was a reincarnated spirit.

@dcupid7

I am not a Catholic.

[johnlukemat]

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.

HEBREWS, chapter 9 verse 27

"No matter how I am judged by feeble minds, my faith is as steadfast as the core of the earth."

Yes, I have felt so strongly about being a monk that I am a monastic. I live a monastic lifestyle.I am a woman but I feel the call to be a monk.

[motherclarewatts]

I am glad you are following the call of your soul. Do you have a spiritual community? That is quite important for most of us.

wow so strange, i have been struggeling with my desire to become a nun even though i am not Catholic and i am engaged to a man i love. i feel so drawn and a deep desire and longing for it.

[Rweigel80]

what christian denomination are you?

[orthodoxusa]

I have memory flashes of past monastic life. Now I am a monk again!

[BalletBoy007]

This isn't Christian and any one in this organization can not claim them self to be Christian

[keo102030]

I believe that but I also have the believe that in this life I'm suppose to have a child and marry strongly. I don't know which one to follow. I do know that my wife cheated on me and she left me. She is also pressing charges on me about me abusing her but I never touched her. I also had vision where I stand in the middle of a road where it breaks into two path and I'm supposed to choose one and only one. I have no way of knowing which one is the right one for me.

[hollywoodartchick]

Yes, I have a very strong sense that this is the case. I was otherwise inexplicably drawn to monastics (although our family was not Catholic) as a small child. This is the very first time I have heard someone mention this phenomenon.

[hollywoodartchick]

Sorry - I was not very specific. I have also felt that I was a monastic in a prior life, and that is why I was excited about your talk. Thanks.

[motherclarewatts]

Do you feel like you had a good experience as a monastic before?

Mother Clare

[hollywoodartchick]

You rock, Mother Clare!

[motherclarewatts]

I am glad you appreciated the information.
