MountAthos monastery

Mihailo Tolotos lived in the monastic community of Mount Athos, an Eastern Orthodox community of monks on an archipelago in eastern Greece. Mount Athos is a unique place in Europe, an autonomous region which entirely forbids women from entering (and therefore is arguably illegal in the EU, but that’s another story).

The earliest history of the site is lost to time, but we do know that Mount Athos was inhabited at least since the end of the 8th century where it is mentioned in the works of Theophanes the Confessor, a monk and a Byzantine noble. For over a thousand years the successive generations of monks have lived a quiet life in seclusion.

Mihailo Tolotos was one such monk. Born around 1855, his mother died in childbirth and he was given to the monks of Athos as a foundling. Tolotos grew up in the community and lived there for his entire life.

Tolotos never left Mount Athos, dying there in 1938 at the age of 82.

Is monkmaxxing a white-pilled path?

Yeah I heard of that guy. But if someone has genuine religious inclinations and it's something they'd like to undertake, no one's stopping you from becoming a monk.
Religious inclinations don't have to be in organized religion as long as you don't larp as a member (most offenses come from larpers anyway). As long as you have something genuinely sacred to you that you want to attend to, that's religious and spiritual.

I can't really judge beyond a superficial level anymore (as you can't truly strip Ego within yourself). If he felt content (balanced) within himself, then I consider that sufficient.

Just do whatever makes you happy (said in an universal mean so you can interpret it your own way).

I would like to attend church someday, actually. Sometimes I need a place to meditate and feel balanced... happy within myself. Churches are a good environment (if you manage to find one, that is) to escape from the stress of life (noise is the worst pollutant I can think of). Nature is a good equivalent as well, since it gives you enough space for self-introspection, but keep wary of your surroundings.
