The Brotherhood Of The Sacred Word   We live in times of great darkness, and rare but powerful sparks of light, of mass confusion and genuine, pure  knowledge. We live at the precipice of massive change toward evil, but also massive opportunities for heroism and good, and for setting clear directions out of the wilderness that will survive long after darkness overtakes mankind. There are few such times that come in history when a man can do so much  by being just a little brave,  a little detached, and a little bit principled. Few times ever come when men can change the fortunes and futures of so many with just a little bit of courage, by just saying little things, and living decidely in a manner that guides. This is a time of great decision for all. No one is exempt. Life is short, and you will never again live in such an age. The Brotherhood of the Sacred Word is a spontaneous cultural movement of men rediscovering the significance of classical morality and the eternal path of the mystic and God-seeker, who live together to strengthen their ideals and make a cultural difference. These men interested in fundamental morality, genuine yoga, and cultural regeneration of their people live together in households of 3-5 men, as roommates, for savings, spiritual culture, brotherhood, and mutual benefit. We are not a monastic order, but just short of one. We are not an organization, but a cultural movement. We are one brotherhood of many brotherhoods, genuinely sharing life, resources, knowledge, and strength. The households have a regular nightly meditation, and chastity ideals are encouraged and strengthened, and natural brotherhood and friendship enjoyed. Some of the households are more organized and engage in teaching activities, such as the development of the website www.celibacy.info and other community activities. You can be from any religious background, or seeking to deepen yourself in priniciples of your own original religion. If you are interested in joining a brotherhood household write your answers to the questions below, tell about yourself, and email to: letters "at" celibacy.info.
