I Want To Leave Society, HELP PLEASE Options

Does anyone know of anywhere that I can go in the Himalayas or India so that I can live life free from people? A monastery would be acceptable. Just somewhere that I can have food, clothes, shelter, and freedom from interaction with anyone. Preferably somewhere on a mountain or in a mountain range.

I am serious. It has been my dream to live quietly in the East, alone on a mountain, and now it's my only option to keep me from killing everyone I know.

On the other hand, reaching for magical solutions for every problem seems less than advisable, no matter what your religious or philosophical bent. We are given many tools to interact with the world.

Well, define every problem. My house is dirty - do I perform a magical ritual and create a talisman to appropriate the best maid in town and ensure this maid will not steal my belongings and work for cheap? No. I clean my house, it is less time consuming.

I need a job and am soon not going to be able to pay bills, the economy is weak and there isn't a lot of work. Shall I waste several weeks running around town turning in applications at every place I can, apply to jobs over the internet (without the money to travel to most of these places to interview), etc.? Or shall I create a helpful magical tool to direct that current of effort in such a way that it will actually bear fruit. One major use of practical magic is to overcome obstacles. So many seem caught up with making the wind blow, shielding against psychic vampires, and moving needles, while in the meantime they go penniless and hungry, stuck in a bad situation while clinging to the meager power such things represent. And we'll disdain the use of magic to improve one's life?

Magic is not it's own thing, that you do separate from everything else. Magic is best applied when it is integrated into your way of thinking and problem-solving. Magical thinking can even help solve problems without magic - many of the same rules apply to simple psychology, social dynamics, and so on, such that understanding the interactions and resonance of different sets of archetypal symbols (not just shapes and letters, but people and their activities as expressions of those archetypes) lends itself to navigating this world successfully. And that application is, in a certain sense, magic of it's own. Entirely isolated, magic is not very useful.

Unless you can think of a very productive way to make the wind blow and improve your life thereby.
