An interesting and thought provoking study about hair. Hair = 6th sense?

[Omni]

I'm not sure what to believe about this, but it certainly is thought provoking. Here is the article:



The Truth About Hair

Reported by Cee Young

This information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Viet Nam War .

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the Viet Nam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.

In the early nineties, Sally [name changed to protect privacy] was married to a licensed psychologist who worked at a VA Medical hospital. He worked with combat veterans with PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. Most of them had served in Viet Nam.

Sally said, " I remember clearly an evening when he came back to our apartment on Doctor's Circle carrying a thick official looking folder in his hands. Inside were hundreds of pages of certain classified studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example. As I read the documents, I learned why. It seems that during the Viet Nam War special forces in the war department had sent undercover experts to comb American Indian Reservations looking for talented scouts, for tough young men trained to move stealthily through rough terrain. They were especially looking for men with outstanding, almost supernatural, tracking abilities. Before being approached, these carefully selected men were extensively documented as experts in tracking and survival.

With the usual enticements, the well proven smooth phrases used to enroll new recruits, some of these indian trackers were then enlisted. Once enlisted, an amazing thing happened. Whatever talents and skills they had possessed on the reservation seemed to mysteriously disappear, as recruit after recruit failed to perform as expected in the field.

Serious casualities and failures of performance led the government to contract expensive testing of these recruits, and this is what was found.

When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistantly that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer 'sense' the enemy, they could no longer access a 'sixth sense' , their 'intuition' no longer was reliable, they couldn't 'read' subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.

So the testing institute recruited more indian trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests.

Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores.

Here is a typical test:

The recruit is sleeping out in the woods. An armed 'enemy' approaches the sleeping man. The long haired man is awakened out of his sleep by a strong sense of danger and gets away long before the enemy is close, long before any sounds from the approaching enemy are audible.

In another version of this test the long haired man senses an approach and somehow intuits that the enemy will perform a physical attack. He follows his 'sixth sense' and stays still, pretending to be sleeping, but quickly grabs the attacker and 'kills' him as the attacker reaches down to strangle him.

This same man, after having passed these and other tests, then received a military haircut and consistantly failed these tests, and many other tests that he had previously passed.

So the document recommended that all Indian trackers be exempt from military haircuts. In fact, it required that trackers keep their hair long. "

It makes sense in an intuitive way. Not rationally. I mean, the hunter gatherer people were extremely in tune with their intuition because their life was about being in communication with their environment. That's what being wild really means to me. Intuitively, not rationally, it makes sense to me that when you take that wild spirit away from a human by domesticating them, which getting a haircut is such a symbol of, they loose their ability to communicate with nature.

[kriya]

It's perfectly true.. Hair acts as an antenna and picks up cosmic energy. This is why Indian yogis keep their hair long.

Love,

Kriya:cool2:

Yea,,the Sikhs never cut their hair.
They claim the same thing.

Long hair keeps you plugged in to the collective unconsiousness and cutting off all your hair detaches you from the collective unconsious.

That's why you have monks that go to the extreme in both instances.
Some folks want to be plugged in to the human race and some folks want to detach from the thoughts of others and go within themselves.

[pharoah21]

Kind of sounds like Samson and Delilah. Also sounds a bit like the whole rastafari culture about refusing to cut their dreads. The evidence is there. Many many indigenous and ancient tribes throughout time seem to grow out their hair, apart from buddhist monks.

Comment:

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of human and animal at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animal to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.The body has a reason for every part of itself.

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved \’feelers\’ or \’antennae\’ that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brainstem, the limbic system, and the neocortex.

Not only does hair in people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut.

When hair is cut, receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in numbing-out .

Cutting of hair is a contributing factor to unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. It contributes to sexual frustration.

Conclusion:

In searching for solutions for the distress in our world, it may be time for us to consider that many of our most basic assumptions about reality are in error. It may be that a major part of the solution is looking at us in the face each morning when we see ourselves in the mirror.

The story of Sampson and Delilah in the Bible has a lot of encoded truth to tell us. When Delilah cut Sampson\’s hair, the once undefeatable Sampson was defeated."

[Carmen]

Its true, hair picks up information. It is like an antenna.

[9eagle9]

That is fascinating. Like you read that and you had no idea but then you go 'Wow, I sorta knew that on some level." Didn't the movie Avatar use their hair to 'plug in' , tune in as it were? It makes one begin to look at their own hair in a different light. I don't think about mine much since I've never had what you call manageable hair , I look like I've lived in a wind tunnel my whole life. But I don't like having my head touched, which means I seldom have my hair cut or trimmed (bend at waist and hack at it now) Maybe its not my head I'm twitchy about but my hair?

I had a casual walk by conversation with a friend last month who mentioned her horse had been misbehaving. "He's been acting like a twit ever since we roached his mane" (buzz cut it) is what she said.

Puts that seemingly innocent remark in a whole different light.

AND..in the 60's so many men, non military let their hair grow out? The hippies? I'm sure they didnt' read that report. ESP? 100 Monkeys?

Neat stuff thanks for posting it Omni.

[Flash]

What about the poor bald guy? Is he less performing on tasks including sex (following the written comments above)? Is he less sensitive.

What about the hair colouring? Does it affect communication with the environment as much as cutting?

Interesting though the thinking of a lot of people that women are more femnine with long hair (just a comment).

Interesting also that in order to have someone lose their identity, in concentration camps or in the army, their hair are being cut (under the pretense of head lice avoidance).

[9eagle9]

Yeah well...I've always had longish hair....no one has ever accused me of being feminine so...dunno .

It would seem to sorta leave the bald folks out of the loop there. But...hair is still a physical construct, just one means of picking up 'the unseen' and people who lack a dominant sensitivity in one area tend to make up for it in another. Same with physical senses, if one is lacking in one area they tend to express more in another. I have poor eyesight but super acute hearing even though I tune a lot of things out because of it.

Long hair would really be floating about in the aura too, and the aura is strongest around the the head and shoulders area , so perhaps its where hair is flowing about at rather than the actual hair that is at work here.

Beautifully intelligent point to also intelligent questions by flash :) Great posts in this thread. I posted this thread in 3 locations. Avalon has the best posts out of all 3(although one may be just due to lower activity) :)

[Solphilos]

I began keeping my hair trimmed short about 10 years ago, and received no dampening of psychic ability or sensory dulling of any kind. Many of the more advanced adepts I know have very little hair at all.

Perhaps my giant wizards beard has been acting as a back-up?

Interesting to note that Women usually keep their hair into old age, while many Men do not, but it is quite rare for one to lose their beard...cosmic back-up receiver? :p

It's also interesting to observe body hair and it's action in response to sudden anxiety and fear. Same with many animals including dogs and cats.

[RMorgan]

Cats use their "mustache" as sensors. Dogs as well. Insects have hair all over their body, to sense vibrations. Our body´s hair arouse when we feel something strange...

Something is really coherent about this thing.

I used to have a huge hair and it really made me feel good by the time. I had to cut it off, because I couldn´t get a decent job because of it. I was at Industrial Design school by that time and I was really impressed about how people´s attitude towards me changed when I cut my hair off. Even my grades got better. Somehow, the society is against a man with a big hair...

Now, is this part of a bigger plan, to cut our roots with mother nature off? Who knows...

Now I work for myself, so I let my beard grow and I must say that I feel so good about it. It´s really not only an aesthetic experience. Something just feels right...

[9eagle9]

Lol. Back to people mentioning things to me and me now seeing it in a different light. A woman had mentioned to me not long ago that cats have such energy coming off their hairs that some people can't stand the intensity of it, perhaps people struggling with their own density. Or whatever. Not sure what frame she meant it in, but she said that intensity expressed itself as allergic to cats. I've always thought cats (I have six of them (sigh) where weirdly multi dimensional. My eldest queen kitty used to come visit me when I was at work , when I worked out of the home. Just turn around and find her laying on file cabinent and a moment later she was gone...

Horses have big whiskers too that people keep shaved down. Long long ones like six inches or more around their eyes and muzzle. My little guy has a muzzleful of whiskers and I always meant to tidy them up, but just basically leave him alone to be a horse. Horses are very dependant on their legs. Their means of escape, and defense. They typically grow a fringe or feather of varying degrees depending on the breed around their hooves and behind it. Wonder if that has some or sensory purpose in regards to grounding or ground senstive or connection.

[phillipbbg]

Well I hope my chest hair counts as an antennae because there is a severe shortage of grass on the top these days.....

Interesting thought I wonder if it all relates to the saying like made the hair on my neck stand up or sometimes we see the hair on our arms stand up sort of like goose bumps..... yes it all makes sense when you think about it.....

[red_rose]

We could visit our local beautician and demand to have the dustbin which is full of used waxing strips...it could be our new oracle :)

I'm gonna grow my leg hair really, really long....I'm sure my partner will love it....not! Screw him I'm a freakin wizard.

[Flash]

It makes me think of my inner comment when bald guys grow long beards (may be it is the solutions, but then Asian are at lost, they have to keep their hair long - and not becoming bald)

When I seen the hairless full beard, often not trimmed, guy, I always feel as if I am looking at them upside down lol. May be beards have the exact same functions, and yes, legs hair.

May be it is related to smell, which is very developed (more than we think) in human as well.

we usually easily differentiate between our smell and others, not smelling ourselve in fact. when hair are off, the surrounding smell we always have that is different from anyghing else is gone and there is sensory differentiation that is lost (it could explain the indian in the war)

[ceetee9]

What about the poor bald guy? Is he less performing on tasks including sex (following the written comments above)? Is he less sensitive.Not at all. His bald head provides a natural mirror for the woman so she can apply her makeup while they're having sex. I'd say that's pretty sensitive to her needs.

What about the hair colouring? Does it affect communication with the environment as much as cutting?No, but it does color the communication.

Interesting though the thinking of a lot of people that women are more femnine with long hair (just a comment).I think so, but then I like just about everything about women (just my comment).

Interesting also that in order to have someone lose their identity, in concentration camps or in the army, their hair are being cut (under the pretense of head lice avoidance).Yeah, that and they don't want those free-thinking, subversive, long-haired hippies questioning their authoritah. ;)

[Ba-ba-Ra]

Let us not forget the Merovingian bloodline which ruled parts of France and Germany and were often referred to as the Long-Haired Monarchs. ( In many occult circles this bloodline purportedly was that of Jesus.)

Legends claim that the Merovingian kings were occult adepts with healing, telepathic and clairvoyant powers and were often referred to as the sorcerer-kings. Like Samson in the old Testament, they were loath to cut their hair.

Hair attracts or conducts electricity. Most women know this because during certain climatic conditions our hair, when brushed, will want to adhere to the brush.

Now, IMO, this was probably more important in the past because of the denseness of consciousness. But as consciousness has evolved, long hair is less important, but could still play a role. It's just another tool, such as crystals, water, etc. But remember, the heart connected to the mind is the greatest tool. Open your heart and mind ~ and see what happens.

[PixieDust]

very interesting post. It seems very true that hair is another sensory.

I gotta say it... i wonder if sex is more enjoyable for those who let their pubic hair grow free vs those who shave/wax or trim?

could be why it grows longer down there...

armpits too. maybe theres more to armpits then we realize...

Also i wodner why society claims men should have short hair and women longer and that women are suppose to stay shaved and hairless in areas.

[red_rose]

Shall we grow wild ladies, whaddya reckon.....we could save the planet! :)

[Tarka the Duck]

My other half is bald and very sexy...do you think it could be down to his hairy toes?

[Taurean]

It's also interesting how hair defies gravity in the presence of static electricity.

[Taurean]

Shall we grow wild ladies, whaddya reckon.....we could save the planet! :)

Bikini industry destroyed overnight !

[9eagle9]

Quite honestly I don't like any sort of hair on me save for the hair on me head.

I'm told this is heriditary pecularity.

Hair on OTHER people where I don't want it on myself never has bothered me.......the obessive predilication for not having any hair on me save the hair on my head seems to be contained only to me. Its not a vanity thing, god knows I'm too messy and unmindful of my appearance (that of one living in a windtunnel) I just don't like hair on me. Letting the rest of it peek up above my skin and grow out means I'm converted entirely into a wind tunnel apearance. My scalp hair, eyebrows (which grow like weeds and I've accidentally shave on in attempting to keep them contained) and my eyelashes . That's it.

It's like all humaney and vulgar (lol)

(hangs head in shame)

I have often made fun of my un= manageable hair in the past (either laughtor weep over it) I am technically a brunette but my hair stubbornly turns blonde even if its just from the light of refridge bulb. It resists all form of chemicals, coloring, cutting, and perming. It just goes right back the way it was a few days later. I joked that it has a life of its own and that it will wrap itself around my neck at night and strangle me if I attempt to interfer with it. Which I haven't done at all since god knows when besides the bend at the waist and hack at the dead ends.

What if they weren't really dead and I murdered them and no wonder I'm caught in this delusion about hair....it's my punishment.

its a hair spell....

I'm not talking about this anymore....

Hair freaks

(lol)

[Taurean]

Just thinking out loud about Tellingers theory that Human males were originally incubated to do the gold mining activities. ( as the thought of waiting some fourteen years or so for a labourer to mature isn't practical from a super geneticists point of view )

Then it occurred to somebody at a later stage to adapt them to give them the ability to reproduce themselves. ( I read somewhere once that pubic hair is more closely associated with that of chimpanzees )

Fits the Adam and Eve story as well.

[Lisab]

Had a crappy day in work today and got home to this. Been laffin my ass off since! Love Avalon! U guys cheer me up. And so glad I've recently started growing my hair again! Lisa x

[Carmen]

I agree Lisab, this thread is wild, love it!!

I never expected that thread to go that far.


8000-2052 BC

The dawn of humanity is no excuse for bad hair. Hairdressing joins body painting and tattoos among the pre-historic grooming arts. 10,000 years later, hairpins and ornaments survive to prove the New Stone Age had style. To ensure a stylish afterlife, Old Kingdom Egyptians bury hairpins and combs with their dead. During this lifetime, Egyptians keep their hair short for cleanliness and comfort. Nile style features the wig, ideally made of human hair but passable in horsehair, wool, palm-leaf fibers and even straw. Commoners wear theirs short, with curls to hide the forehead, ears and nape of the neck. Nobles drape their wigs to the shoulders and beyond.

1570-1345 BC

The men and women of New Kingdom Egypt take the bold step of shaving their heads completely. Some scalps show in statues and frescoes; Queen Nefertiti covers hers with a regal black headdress. Wigs remain the rage, conveying status rather than copying nature. Many are braided and dyed black, red, blue or green. Some wearers place a cone of perfumed wax on their heads in the morning, which the sun melts into a sheen of gel. Only children keep their natural hair, letting one curl fall over the right temple. The curled lock becomes the hieroglyph for "child."

350 BC-200 AD

Ancient Greeks admire hair low on the forehead, unlike the bare-browed Egyptians. Some women's styles remain popular for centuries, including the "lampadion," in which hair is piled to look like a beacon, and the "melon," with hair sectioned and gathered behind in a bun. Greek statues spread the word on style -- as do Greek slaves, stuck arranging the hair of Roman ladies. Middle class Romans achieve the look by visiting what may have been the world's first salons. Roman men, meanwhile, reject the shoulder-length hair of New Testament times for a no-fuss senatorial style, short and combed forward.

1355

Respectable Englishwomen keep their hair covered in public -- but so do others. In order to tell the difference, England's Parliament forbids prostitutes to wear hoods "except reyed or striped of diverse colours, nor furre, but garments reversed or turned the wrong side outward." More pious women wear veils and "wimples," fabric draped under the chin, including Geoffrey Chaucer's "Prioress," whose prim headdress is described in the prologue to the Canterbury Tales: "ful semely hir wimpel pinched was...." Headdresses get wilder through the 15th century, featuring jewels, horns, and other oddities from France and the newly-conquered Constantinople.

1558

Elizabeth I accepts the crown of England atop her flowing red-gold hair, worn loose in the tradition of princesses at their marriages. Chances are she shaves her brow to achieve the trendy "high-brow" look. Thereafter, Elizabeth wears wigs. In 1602, she orders "six heads of heare, twelve yards of heare curle, and one hundred devises made of heare." Many of the queen's wigs copy her natural hair color, prompting a red dye fad throughout England. Elizabeth's taste for jewels or "bodkins" in her wigs is imitated, too, at least by those who can afford the royal look.

1602

The artful hairstyles of Western Africa dominate a Dutch sailor's travelogue. Pieter de Marees reports that men cut and braid their hair "each in his own fashion and competing in style," while women "use... beads... which they hang and plait in their hair." Beyond the sailor's sight, Central African women make hair gels of ochre and animal fats, rolling their hair into long coils. In Benin, women use porcupine quills to undo their fine cornrows. The trade in slaves introduces African hairstyles to the New World, and braiding helps keep African traditions alive on early American plantations.

1660

Charles II of England starts a fashion for male wigs, perhaps to disguise his own thinning hair. The style lasts a century, with powdered wigs denoting "bigwigs" -- especially following a hefty 1750s tax on powder. Matters change when George III ascends the throne in 1760, sporting his very own hair. Wig-makers protest, but the stylish set follow the king's lead. While American patriots like Thomas Jefferson embrace the natural look, the king powders and collects his hair in a pouch at the back to protect his jacket. He ties the pouch in front-the birth of the modern bow-tie.

1775-1788

In France and in England, women's hair reaches dizzying heights. Hair is curled and then piled atop wire structures, with padding for extra height. The mass is then powdered and decorated with feathers, blown glass, even recreations of gardens or fruit plates. For the crowning touch: a hat. In 1775, Marie Antoinette receives a letter from her mother: "they say that your coiffure rises 36 inches... and is decorated with a mass of feathers and ribbons, which make it even higher.... I was always of the opinion that one should follow the fashions with restraint but never exaggerate them."

1789

A "close cut" takes on new meaning during the French Revolution, when aristocrats lose their hair to jailers and their heads to the guillotine. Suddenly, short hair is in. The passion for hair cropped "à la victime" travels from France to England. In both countries, the fear of big hair coincides with renewed interest in classical styles, ever-fresh on statues. Women revive the Greek "lampadion" and "melon." As for men, the entire English army cuts off one another's ponytails in ten minutes in 1808. In France, Napoleon wears his hair short and combed forward -- Roman emperor chic.

1872

French hairdresser Marcel Grateau enjoys a Eureka moment, wielding heated tongs to wave hair semi-permanently. By 1884, celebrities clamor for his "marcel wave." More technical tricks follow. In 1890, French hairdresser Alexandre Godefroy attaches a hood to the chimney pipe of a gas stove and voilà: the world's first hair-dryer. In 1905, German hairdresser Charles Nessler invents the permanent wave, using borax paste and electrically-heated curlers. The first permanents take 12 hours and cost hundreds of dollars. By the 1930s, the "cold wave" requires only two hours and a modest fee, bringing curls to the masses.

1920

Many claim to have started it; everyone wants it. The "bob" appears on both sides of the Atlantic in the early 1920s. In place of long, piled Victorian hair, the short and sassy look of actress Louise Brooks marks the liberated woman. By 1925, 2,000 American women submit to the barber's chair daily. The haircut is crucial to the social success of F. Scott Fitzgerald's heroine in the 1920 short story "Bernice Bobs Her Hair": "'I want to be a society vampire, you see,'she announced coolly, and went on to inform him that bobbed hair was the necessary prelude."

1955-1960

A few daring African American musicians, students, and activists let their hair grow into a soft halo of curls. The "Afro" is born, a rejection of decades of lye, close-cropped cuts, and other methods to control black hair. Critics call the new look militant (or, paradoxically, anti-military), but by 1966 it is mainstream enough to be worn by Howard University's homecoming queen -- and soon by such celebrities as Muhammad Ali, Jesse Jackson, and the poet Gwendolyn Brooks. From America, the Afro travels to Africa and Brazil. It inspires the anti-establishment of all races to grow their hair long and free.

1976

Several centuries after the Native American Mohawks retreat from the Northeast, their warrior hairstyle returns -- this time atop the heads of white-skinned punk rock fans. Modern gels add impact to the original, as each side of the head is shaved and the center column is coaxed into a standing declaration against bourgeois boredom. Colorful dyes help shock parents and bolster the brash tones of punk heroes like the Sex Pistols and Patti Smith. While Mr. T tries the look, too, other African Americans go "native" by reviving African braiding and beading traditions.

1980-2001

With nearly ten millennia of hairstyles to choose from, almost anything goes as the year 2000 approaches. Bald works in the 1980s, following the lead of Sinead O'Connor, NBA superstars, and the ever-stylish Queen Nefertiti. And braids explode in the 1990s, modeled in stunning variety by a new wave of West African immigrants and still more NBA superstars. Even disheveled has its moment, as the mod crowd awakens from two years of millennium parties to cultivate "bed head" glamour. Long or short, stuffed beneath a baseball cap or piled high on chopsticks, modern hair reaches for the skies.

I do not mind a bald guy, as long as I have one! LOL

Promis to do like 9eagle9 for the rest. LOL


Edited: thinking about it, hairlessness should not however impact on the rest. LOL

[HORIZONS]

Well, if I don't trim my nose hair it gets to looking really bad. lol!
Male models and actors in the not too far distant past had body hair and it was the "in" thing - now shaved is the in thing and you rarely see body hair on models and actors anymore. Could this be yet another conspiracy? Delilah is the NWO in the Bible!

[Moemers]

This bums me out hard.

[Enquiring1]

Very interesting. Hmmmmm so why do buddist monks shave ther heads?

[truth4me]

It makes sense in an intuitive way. Not rationally. I mean, the hunter gatherer people were extremely in tune with their intuition because their life was about being in communication with their environment. That's what being wild really means to me. Intuitively, not rationally, it makes sense to me that when you take that wild spirit away from a human by domesticating them, which getting a haircut is such a symbol of, they loose their ability to communicate with nature.Couldn't have said it better. Getting that "clean Gene" look you get in line with the system.....

I gotta say it... i wonder if sex is more enjoyable for those who let their pubic hair grow free vs those who shave/wax or trim?



I can safely answer that one NO !! Very Definitely not !!!!
(And I don't intend to start a discussion on the topic, sorry !!!!)

This is a highly interesting thread, thanks Omniverse. I can also vouch for cats using their whiskers as antennae, watched mine do it all the time.

I'm bald, I shave my head as I prefer being a chrome-dome to having male baldness pattern, vanity I suppose. I'd quite like to be able to grow long hair, maybe one day I'll go for the long white ponytail !
Being bald hasn't decreased my sensitivity in any way, maybe my legs more than make up for the lack of hair on top !
Beard ? No thanks !!!

same with Rastas in jamaica their dreads are their roots to this world

Excellent thread Omni,

There was a lot of confirmation of this that came up when researching the psychics of the Vril Society that (allegedly) contacted the Annunaki (or Aryans) in a distant star system.


But unlike the other two groups the Vril Gesellschaft were an inner circle of women who were also fighting against their times and culture. They were psychic mediums that wore a horse-tail hairstyle. They believed that their long hair acted as cosmic antennae to receive alien communication from beyond. which started post-WWI with Thule medium Maria Orsic.

(do a search on "vril orsic hair" and you come up with bunches of sites)

Very interesting. Hmmmmm so why do buddist monks shave ther heads?

I believe that cutting your hair releases negative energy that your hair stores, but then again, if you're generally a very positive, in tune person, long hair would maybe absorb all that good stuff. It's hard to say. There's a hair dresser here in Melbourne who is starting a new movement for men and women going bald. He believes it's all down to emotion, which makes sence seeing as how stress makes you lose your hair. He believes that by letting go of all your negative emotion, unblocking yourself and all that, you can grow all your hair back.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Also notice how in general, women are more spiritually in tune then men. How many male psychics and mediums have you seen compared to females? Females GREATLY outnumber the males in this respect. Could it have something to do with the hair? Maybe yes, maybe no.

All I know is that since waking up and finding my spirituality, I have a strong desire to grow out my hair.........although I'm starting to bald.

Time to see this hairdresser.

Hi all
This is a related quote from the LAW OF ONE, the ra material.


75.33 Questioner: You mentioned in an earlier session that the hair was an antennae. Could you expand on that statement as to how that works?
Ra: I am Ra. It is difficult to so do due to the metaphysical nature of this antennae-effect. Your physics are concerned with measurements in your physical complex of experience. The metaphysical nature of the contact of those in time/space is such that the hair, as it has significant length, becomes as a type of electrical battery which stays charged and tuned and is then able to aid contact even when there are small anomalies in the contact.

75.34 Questioner: Is there an optimum length of hair for this aid?
Ra: I am Ra. There is no outer limit on length but the, shall we say, inner limit is approximately four to four and one-half inches depending upon the strength of the contact and the nature of the instrument.

The connection of hair or fur to dimensional creatures, concerning direct encounters... is covered in the 'question of lithium' thread.

The ideas here, expressed on 'hair'..... takes you directly to this:

http://peswiki.com/index.php/Site:LRP:Doyle_Noyes

Doyle Noyes and Tom Bearden's account on Doyle. It is about the nervous system and Tom's understanding of it ...and..The US Naval academy of Research's work on the superconductive thus dimensional aspects of the human nervous system.

"Doyle Noyes, a significant “10” sigma individual articulated abilities equivalent to the advisers of 12th century emperors. His abilities articulated the dynamics of a superior ‘mind’ whose capabilities reminded one of the miracles derived from the prophets of old, having abilities related to those associated with the Gospels. To put it mildly, Doyle Noyes, was a hunted man, because of those abilities, and may have lost his life when he demonstrated those abilities, via the will of the ‘control’ paradigm to curtail and ultimately cut short his lifespan.

Tom Bearden encountered Doyle several years back in which he acknowledged his unique abilities:

“I also once stood beside a "10-sigma person" having very real and powerful psycho-physical abilities, while he turned the entire sky over Kansas City dark as midnight at high noon, completely with his mind (i.e., with his patterned dendrite-ending spikes linking his mind to his body). Huge clouds also formed, with great bolts of lightning and torrential rain. This was in the center of a large zone in which no rain at all had fallen in more than 60 days; it was in the middle of a very strong drought. Foreigners in dark autos, heavily armed, were after him in ensemble. His name was Doyle Noyes, and eventually they did get him and kill him. There is a very active program, it seems, to suppress these exceedingly few 10-sigma persons (perhaps a half dozen at any one time) on planet Earth. Such a suppression program seems to have been in existence also for at least a century or more.” [1]

Tom Bearden provided first hand knowledge regarding Doyle Noyes:

“In life, occasionally (by pure statistics) a slight departure from the norm is born in a living organism (including in a human birth) as a slight evolutionary change, and so then the living creature (e.g., that human) may have a bit more control over the formation and patterning of his or her nerve ending spikings. In short, that individual may then be able to control the constituency of its local vacuum, and therefore change its own internal and even external physical reality in startling fashion. I called those people "10-sigma persons" and quite a few years ago did meet some of them, and one in particular who turned the noon sky as dark as midnight (with not a cloud in the sky when he started) over Kansas City, Missouri, with associated very quick formations of huge clouds, torrential rain, and huge bolts of lightning. I stood a few feet from him as he did that, and was able to see it first hand. His name was Doyle Noyes.” [2]

Tom Bearden adds: “Heavily armed men in as many as 20 dark colored autos began to chase Doyle trying to kill him. Doyle would point his hand and a car would flip over, another would run off the road. The people who are controlling the planet find and kill these individuals. They eventually killed Doyle Noyes.” [3]

It certainly gives new credence to the saying about one's hair is standing on its end.

Male balding patterns can then be looked at with a different view.

If we look at the parts of the physical brain and what they are doing or responsible for, we find an interesting potential pattern. We may see or think of the idea of...the intellectual centers being free of connection, isolated, and the instinctual or physical aspects of the mind/body system as being in contact with the differing energies. The scalar or dimensional energies are not connected with the 3d reality they are connected with a 3d free or non-3d aspect of energy flow systems. Meaning, that the 3d placement of objects (XYZ spacial as a single set unit grouping), in this case, skull, brain, skin and hair may act as 'shapers and directors of flow'.

Ie, the male balding pattern may indicate a potential or ability to separate the 'mind' (conscious 3d mind) from the aetherial flow system, but to allow the body to be used to direct and control flow on the aetherial/primal level.

Just a thought.

After reading the last two pages of this thread I can't get Billy Connolly out of my head.... when he asks,
"how does pubic hair know when to stop growing?".

And worse, he points out the sad fact that pubes don't fall out as you get older, they just grow straighter :hippie:

Shall we grow wild ladies, whaddya reckon.....we could save the planet! :)

Wild ladies are awesome.

There is another thread on long hair which I posted this on. It dealt with indian's losing their unique tracking sensitivity when they joined the military and had their hair cut. Here is what I posted on that thread which I think equally applies to this topic:

I'm not sure how I feel about this study or information. Buddhists practice shaving their heads, as do many eastern spiritual giants as it were. I wonder if it is not something more intrinsic that because these were men who came from a society that did NOT cut their hair and once they joined the military they lost one of their major connections to who they were and thus their energy centers were disrupted. I imagine that if at the age of 7 all males took upon themselves the art of shaving to show their identy within the tribe, and that to have to grow their hair "like a woman" I can hear them deride their platoon leader, that they might lose their abilities likewise.

Thus, it might have nothing to do with how long ones hair is, but to what significance their hair means to them. In the bible, it was a Nazarite vow to that kept men from cutting their hair or shaving. Upon completing their vow they shaved all their hair and used it as a burnt offering thus ending their time set apart spiritually. Thus, having long hair meant something for them for a specific purpose and time period. I really don't think it has anything to do with one's connection spiritually unless one believes that it does. Some of us have a lot of hair and other's do not. We can all get that feeling of being watched whether we are a veritable furball or not.

It might be good to merge the threads.

This certainly made my mind up about cutting my long hair. I guess the extra time in the bathroom is worth the saving of my 6th sense, (and 7th and 8th)lol

I read this thread some time ago and remember someone asking a really good question as to whether dying one's hair effects things. Well I did a little experiment.
When I clean out my hair brush, I always place the removed hair out into the garden, the little wild birds love this for their nests. I just want to point out here that my hair is not dyed.
My daughter a couple of weeks ago whose hair is dyed, trimmed her hair, and I told her to place this outside for the birds to collect. Two weeks later, no birds have been interested in her locks for their nest! So either they were able to smell the hair dye of two months past - or basically didn't like it on 'sense' - not sure, but interesting. Just wanted to share my finds. ;)

[Orion.V]

Very interesting.
There was a time in my life at much younger age when i had frequent ESP kicks, 6th sense and when i could sense a person if it's a friend or not. I was always right about my perception. I always had a short hair.
IMO, the hair can probably serve as a booster antenna but even without it the 6th sense can work just perfectly. Ever wondered why those budhist monks that practice deep meditation are always bald ? :)
