Hair Is An Extension Of The Nervous System

[Sérénité]

Only this past week, a friend and I was talking about how lately so many men seem to be growing their hair and/or keeping more facial hair and growing beards.

I just stumbled on this article and thought it relevant to what I had been thinking about and thought I would share :)

And as a side note, I wont be shaving my moustache or beard ever again
:p :bigsmile: :blushing:

"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 my husband 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 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 consistently 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 consistently 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.”

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 theamazing 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 brain stem, 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.

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."[/COLOR]

[bluestflame]

might explain why some experiencing emotional torment shave thier heads to reduce picking up on those around and remotely sending to them

[ozmirage]

So going bald is a sign of men becoming insensitive boobs.
SIGH.

[Did You See Them]

Maria Orsic and the Vril Society believed that their long hair acted as cosmic antennae to receive their alien communications.

Noooo Ozmirage hehe :blushing:

Just keep that lovely long silver fox beard you have above ^^^ :bigsmile:

[raff]

I shall then comb and luxuriate in my back hair and count myself sensitive all over. Yuk!
Only kidding.

[Red Skywalker]

Heard that story a couple of years ago too. I think it has to do with static electrical charge in the form of brush-discharges. The origin of electrical charge is, besides gravity and time, also one of the things science does not have an answer on. We think to know anything about electricity, but only how to make some form of use of it. To me it's a very important energy form to which the nervous system and the brain are very sensitive for, up to the quantum levels. The brush-discharge is also an important point in the generating field of an ufo-drive system.
So, yeah, an interesting story.

[conk]

Let's not forget Samson. Lost his hair and lost his strength. There are morsels of truth among the fables and folly of the Bible.

[Matthew]

SIGH.

Don't worry, the extra hair that appears on our shoulders and ears probably compensates

[Peace of Mind]

There’s no proof of this. But there is proof of the hair and nails being made up of dead cells (dead cells don’t have active nerve cells). Being blunt…hair and nails is more like a form of waste, hardly useful unless you’re into beautifying the body with certain styles. And due to societies blind take on beauty...damage hair and nails is what truly makes a person sensitive. Because they are conditioned to believe long "healthy" (haha) hair makes them feel...worthy and appealing.

Hair is just a form of protection from the elements (ask the four legged animals). Nails are like tools assisting the fingers and toes with grip and added functionality.
When you cut your hair and nails… you do not even feel it, so how can it be an extension of the actual Nervous System? Most people feel better after getting a haircut and manicure.

Take a good look at the world and you’ll find that many of the world’s most electrifying personalities, spiritually balanced, and wise people are bald.

I’m sure the Buddhist and Shaolin Monks will not agree with this article at all…as it’s just subjective matter probably shaped from examining a few local subjects… if even that.

"Hair Is An Extension Of The Nervous System"-

yes, it is; just no publicity about it-

first, look at it logically: if you corn-row/dreadlock your hair because of the tightness required (my life's partner is a hair-stylist/barber- he has a booming business- he made me aware of the following- he refuses to do corn-rowing/dreadlocking- his customers came from other sources): you are endangering nerves and if the nerves are destroyed the hair will not grow back; he has experienced several cases of partial baldness in young people who have chosen to have their hair corn-rowed/dreadlocked-

besides that, he says the STENCH coming from people who have had these previous hair styles and finally want their hair cut is "challenging" (understatement!)-

all that aside, why have native Americans always been so much more intuitive than most whites?- why are most women more intuitive than men?- because they usually have longer hair...

hair is most definitely an extension of nerves and nerves are an extention of the brain- it all fits together-

please stay well all-

I've kept my hair, as it was so unnatural and draining every time I cut it, with a 2 to 4 day drain of energy after each shave, after the initial day or so of energy boost from my systems countering the effect of losing hair. What a great energy shift it would be if I shaved again. It is hard to explain to someone who has shaved for decades of how much energy they have lost. Unless it is a medical condition that requires no facial hair or short hair, it is probably the highest indicator of how independent a man is, to me at least, independent of unnatural social pressures. When I see all of the indicators of personal strength in others I see this last step as a first step in a way we free ourselves to be ourselves.
(Didn't think I'd write so much.....about this, but this forum allows us the means to always explore.)

The facial hair trend in professional athletics and even amateur sports, especially in baseball, does have an origin that few would know of, but an origin that is well worth noting. When neuro-muscular testing became a proven science I knew that at some point, if even ever so gradually, the sports physiologists, like chiropractor Dr.'s Perry and Thie, would get around to the increased power of performance if you did not cut your facial hair. Muscle testing proves the power with, and the power loss without, hair. And if you need to know who might be the best to testify as to the effectiveness of any exercise, supplement, food, habit, and body related performance matter, go ask someone whose short professional career relies on every bit of proven health data out there. Jason Kidd and the Pilates that extended his basketball career is just one good example.

Infinitely easier to get a date if shaved, partially or fully, but that just shows the depth of ingrained shallowness in many societies. Being otherwise healthy does help lower the negative projection, but it has always been odd to me that people think they know me at all just by my looks. Comb with a wooden comb, like rosewood, to have as little static as possible. Uncut scalp hair since leaving high school, but have rarely let it go loose, what with work and exercise. Also,most of life with a beard, uncut.
Not such a big thing, all of this, if I think of how little I think of it. I have, however, been judged immensely by my look, though I live a very clean, natural life with healthy options. The funny thing is getting compliments from 20's, 30's on my beard though it is not excessive. I only find it worth my time if they tell me why they let their hair grow. I do see the cultural trend, however temporary it may be, as a sign of an increased awareness.

I would be another Milarapa if I cut my hair like the Buddists do, at least the early Milarapa sending the dark back to be recycled, though I doubt he cut his hair. Thus I have found it a superficial state of pseudo-method that some would cut their hair daily as an external show of being on a spiritual path, as it takes longer to cut the hair than it does to comb it and braid it.

Too much thought and not enough doing is the height of sillyness. Heavens, what life is not a spiritual path? There is no way getting around it, as it is always a journey of the spirit. When the monks, those who cut their hair daily, start allowing themselves the time and freedom to be more natural maybe we'll get some more practical input and service from them. (Note that I do have monkly friends who I talk to like this. Otherwise we would not be friends.)

And to those of you newly bearded, remember that after cleaning your beard, with shampoo or water, etc., it is wise to condition your facial hair if you expect to be kissed often. Conditioner, natural oils, etc. do make a big difference when face to face, lip to lip, et al....

Also, in chinese medicine, it has been shown that keeping the hair on the chin and under it, along the conception vessel meridian, CV 23, 24, keeps a man more emotionally stable and, of course, centered.

I do have native friends with long hair and even some with a little facial hair, also a common sign of pride amongst those who have kicked an addiction. They consider the hair a grounding and a sensitivity to the wholeness of nature. To this day many native communities consider it a great loss to have cut their hair or to have it cut without consent, at the same time cutting it themselves on rare occasion to honor another they have lost.

As an example of just what a loss hair is to some native peoples I saw the depth of that approach when I met a young native who was a guard and had occasion to ask if he knew some prayers in his ancestral language. After teaching each other some prayers I noticed that he was grieving.

In my experiences someone so knowledgable of sacred prayers would be closer to his cultural appearance and in his case that would mean having uncut, long hair. With the incongruity of his appearance I asked him if he had recently cut his hair. He affirmed this by telling me that he had cut his hair to honor his recently departed grandfather who was the spiritual leader of his tribe.

[poetbil]

I wonder why our beloved Governments use to cut the hair @ prisons ,army , nuthouses, school (at my time)

I found your male perspective very interesting to read.

With regard to the muscle testing I do wonder about testosterone levels though. The hormone relates to hair growth. And which of the two (if not ultimately both) was most decisive in those test results.

What about females, in a culture of la dépilation ultime, less is more, laser hair removal, light therapy, what have you, all permanent, or so it says.

Taking note of a different hormonal balance in women (relating also to differences in body hair, as opposed to the other sex) what might be the effect of such a hairless culture (apart from the head, of course, currently still under: more is more) in analogy to your male experience?

[Sunny-side-up]

It's not by accident that the established image of wizards and sorcerers have always had long flowing hear and beards :)

I know for sure that when I was aged around 30 and was able to meditate for days on end, was dabbling in shamanic ways, I was far more in-tune with the elements and so called coincidences.
That was't just because I was trying to gain those results,
but because I had hair and beard down to my belt line back then, I could feel it made a difference
:sun:

[Hym]

Violet, Thanks for the very interesting questions.
Muscle testing in these instances is based on having facial hair and not based on testosterone levels, though the two are part of the integrated body mechanism.

About females. Hmmm? In all cases it is up to a female or a male to discern themselves, with or without muscle testing, what effect cutting the hair or leaving it to grow makes a difference in their well being. In some cases liberation means many things more important to the expression of the soul's presence and strength in a body than the details of some proven aspect of health. How deep does someone have to go in self empowerment to cut the hair in an expression of self love and then further on to allow themselves to grow it back in the path of a deeper sense of well being?

I do see a lot of women, especially older women not feeling the need to please anyone but themselves, in ways that are righteous and self affirming and who associate freedom from the immense cultural b.s. of a male dominated society, who then cut their hair short and remove a large mental part of a highly unnatural burden to compromise with the manipulations of male dominance. I get it and am supportive either way. Who is to say that is not more powerful than relying on muscle testing, if even only for a short while? I'd like to know the differences, if their are any. What a sad comment it has always been to me, this projection of a controlling society to impose a stereotype of appearance on either gender.

The absence of natural facial hair, i.e. in some genomes of males and in most women, to me means they may have an innately higher amount of awareness and possibly nervous system strength that does not necessitate the need for facial hair. Has anyone here asked a newly transgendered male what it feels like to take testosterone and what it feels like growing facial hair when there was none growing before? I don't read anything into this as beyond my own experience and my interactions with facially hairless folks who seem as aware or more than this guy sending back this message to you.

It is a drain to the nervous system and the parasympathetic system to cut hair that grows naturally, at least in most humans. However, in other races not from these parts their bodies often have a much higher amount of "uncorrected" genome expression and I have never seen a case of those who have hair of cutting it, ever.

Think of the mentality it would take for one of them to cut their hair, even as a means of breaking out of what humans call a hive mentality (an ignorant and negatively associated human expression bourne out of not having the experience of an open mental space with others.) I doubt most humans ever get to think of how controlled they are, in ways they accept and condition themselves and others, people who often speak loudly about those things in the outer world that are also clearly unnatural.

Thank you Breal, I didn't realise this had been posted before, apologies for the duplicate and thanks for the link, I will read this other post thread now :)

[Sérénité]

So it would seem there is a most definite correlation between hair and the psyche with many people then?

That it is possibly much more than a decision based upon trends and fashion but more deeper rooted? (Pardon the pun hehe)

I think both men and women look equally as attractive with or without, long or short...but it would seem there is more to it from a personal choice for people in general?

I've always had my hair long since being a young child. I had it cut to a chin length bob in my late teens and just didn't feel right with it. It possibly suited me more, but it wasn't a vanity thing, I just didn't feel like 'me'.
Since then I've always kept it fairly long. I'm of an age where shorter would maybe be better suited and I think shorter hair looks beautiful on women, but I can't bare to part with it, it would feel like loosing a part of me...so your posts explain my way of thinking to me...thankyou :)

[Hym]

I was told of a quote from a famous poet who said that it would be impossible to cut his hair after he had an experience of profound and transcendent awakening, where he felt the connectivity of all things. Maybe someone knows who that was.

Does the hair of both male and female large forest inhabitants, sasquatch, make them more sensitive or is the mechanism more complex than that?

I do have the experience that beauty and awareness, beautiful beings and awesome expressions of life come in an endless variety of forms, especially humans.

I just shaved my beard of approximately 5 months growth and horror of horrors my jaw has shrunk. And i mean diminished pubescent like. This reminds me of when i took my plaster cast off my forearm and it was so weak and shrunken. Admittedly that lack of activity was a partly to blame for that but my feeling now is that sunlight (not touching our skin) is also the main reason. As we all know the sun gives us nutrients but many of us are covered up with clothes but our bodies don't shrink in the same way (i wish my beer belly would though.) Even though this comment is a bit late in arriving and this thread will disappear shortly i wonder if anyone has a hypothesis to this oddity ?
Thank you.

[Agape]

I would like plaits ( braids if that's more correct term ) if I could choose . I'm not to haircuts and insisted on keeping my hair grow long usually .. don't think it makes me more 'anything' , see Buddhist monks for example and what are they capable of spiritually ..
hair and nails are likely to disappear in far off human future too .

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h68/Aikatwo/maxresdefault_1.jpg (http://s61.photobucket.com/user/Aikatwo/media/maxresdefault_1.jpg.html)

I had these ..about two times .. not only it absolved me from daily routine of having to do with the 'mess' on my head but it also felt so good , keeping mind together was easy .
I did it myself , unprofessionally mostly , during few long cold evenings in Dharamsala ( far less elaborate than the image above ) but they held for two months at least and before I took them off ( with better half of my hairlock :))

It makes head feel much lighter and organised and no need to care about it . And of course , it's natural as long as you consider art piece of your nature and beautiful .

Problem is .. here on Northern hemisphere the techniques to do this well are almost extinct and there are many ways how to get this done by someone else 'wrong' ,
damaging your natural, neural pathways .

What of the very particular style of beard used by Muslim men, sort of under the chin? I get the creeps when anyone with that sort of beard enters my space. . .personally, I have also had long hair, dyed hair &short hair (literally about 2cms long all over!) & I'm sorry to say I did not notice any difference.

I don't normally make responses like this, and I apologise in advance... However, your post simply suggests that 1. You are slightly racist, and 2. Not a particularly spiritually sensitive or aware person.

Kirolak,
Some don't notice any difference at all in cut or uncut hair. I wouldn't see it as a lack of awareness or nervous system health. Your nervous system may be very strong and your awareness very acute. Please don't judge yourself that way.

I knew the sweetest, most down to earth, honest and caring woman whose hair was so thick and grew so fast she felt it necessary to cut it short just to have more time for the rest of her life. I never saw a deficit in her being by cutting her hair, and only she would know if there would come a time when she felt the need to let it grow long again in order to heighten her introspection, awareness or interior journeys. It would be a good listening if I were to meet her and her husband again, asking about this very subject, of course after hearing the more important aspects of how they both have been all of these years later.

Don't know why that strange method of beard is common amongst some, including some Amish men, where the mustache is cut and all but the hair on the fringe is also cut outlining the almost bare face. What is the similarity between some Amish and Muslim men, I don't know, but they share a common facial hair style. I do notice those men often touching their faces though, where the hair and the shaved skin meet, from a Christian friend I had and some videos of Muslim men talking. (I did know a man who cut it that way for purposes of intimacy, but that was his girlfriends choice). It makes no sense to me on an energetic level.


There just might be a reason, a meaning or a purpose for the cutting pattern, beyond personal preference. We may just as well find that there have been some strange twists and turns in cultural and religious conditioning that may have nothing to do with respecting what is natural. This incongruity is found all over the earth and when asked why, there often is no answer.

This thread is thought provoking enough and has touched a topic that I wish I didn't have to think about because I don't concentrate on it much. As superficial as I think the subject is to me, like taking care of myself, brushing my teeth, bathing, washing my clothes, doing the dishes, etc. the fact is that I am judged by this depth of what I consider to be my own self-esteem and it is a deep rebuke of society if you have had to live with it. I just chalk it up to the hypocrisy of many corrupted human institutions and do my best to simply live in the blessing and opportunity of being here.

Another interesting anecdote is that other men who have medium to long beards have an almost 100% awareness that I live a healthy lifestyle, regardless of whether or not they do themselves. I wonder why that is so? Take a guess, share an insight.

Also, I find it an extreme sign of energetic disconnect to see a group of kind hearted people all cut their hair as a sign of solidarity with someone undergoing chemotherapy. I do get the connection and do see the value of such strange signs of caring, but injuring your energy body in such a communal way shows how uninformed people are on the truths of the causes of cancer. If you find me injured and in some form of care please don't injure yourself as I have been and come to the hospital in such a condition as your sign of caring. Just being there is good enough for me. However, if you all wore fake beards during the visit I'd see it as a great sign of the healthy attitude I just might find very healing and amusing.

During the process of chemotherapy the hair is lost because the therapy is killing all of the cells, good and bad alike, deeply wounding the immune system and leaving the possibility of cancer a higher incidence of re-occurance. How scientific and informed is that? Does doing Gerson therapy, taking cbd oil, eating healthy and natural foods, removing a negative person in your life, changing from an energy draining job to a job where there is caring, sharing, and inspiration.... ever, ever cause anyone to lose their hair while the cancer is being denied a place in the body?

Which ones are they kirolak , can you find an illustration ? Do you mean the plait some Sikh gentlemen tie from their beard under their neck ?
I think they do it to keep the beard tidy .

Beards should represent dignity , wisdom , elders of the tribe .. To me they give strange feel when grown by young people ( my fault but that's my feeling ).
I'd not allow beards to anyone under the 'professor age' :bigsmile:

[Hym]

Morning Fox, I gave part of my response in depth to Kirolak's post with just that in mind, knowing that she most likely didn't mean to express racism or insensitivity. And because this is a thread about sensitivity, I must tell you directly that I have received visceral responses from men and women alike in response to my facial hair. I do not see them as racist or religiously bigoted, just socially conditioned.

Because there is a religious element in conditioning and in countries where there are more divisions amongst religions, I see a European viewpoint as socially very different than those in the states. The conditioning in the states has a lot to do with the all of the b.s. projected in movies and the rest of the entertainment/entrainment industries. In those media we have seen vast prejudices and images purposely instilled deep into the psyche of those exposed to their manipulations. Those lies permeate the society so deeply that people begin to teach their children the same. I can usually tell when the conditioning has started when I talk to kids.

[:Renyse:]

I believe this. Since I was young I've met some gifted wise women who all seemed to share the belief in long hair assisting in 'the work' and increasing intuition and perception, though a couple of them had short hair with no apparent dampening of their abilities. Perhaps it differs for each individual.

I've had long hair most of my life and it seems to be where it's (and I'm) happiest. I'd occasionally cut it short or dye it a striking color for something new, and looking back on these impulsive decisions I found they were usually made right in the center of a deeply unhappy time in my life. It was as if I was trying to pull myself out of a depressing powerless period by doing something drastic and it usually worked... a shift in energy so change could occur. Happy to say I haven't cut it off in 6 years.

[Olam]

Then there is this from Stuart Wilde who writes in his book "Grace, Gaia, and the End of Days: An Alternative Way for the Advanced Soul"

" Men shouldn't wear beards or moustaches or have unshaved stubble.
There are small etheric ghouls that are attracted to and live in men's facial hair.
If you must wear a beard, keep it short and very clean, not long and shaggy.
Never kiss a man with a beard unless your desperate- tee-hee."

:crazy:

[Hym]

I think Stuey needs a hug.

Stu, this could all be solved if you stopped kissing bearded men.

Such silly racism, Stu. So you have something against etheric ghouls? Why do you think someone with a beard is so connected to nature?

(editor's note: It's times like this when I could see the therapeutic possibilities of having a Bill Hicks/George Carlin-type Thread available without the need to be PC.)

By the way my beard is always clean and never shaggy. I guess if you can see ghouls you should try not to be so desperate.

That reminds me, thinking of Stu and all of the Ayahuasca he's taken, does anyone know of an herbal therapy as an antidote to excessive Ayahuasca use? I wonder how far down the road he had to go to write "Grace, Gaia, and the End of Sanity"?

[Olam]

Actually, I have to say that I enjoyed his book when I read it many years ago, but I had no clue about what he was talking about.
Years later, actually 2 years ago I went thru Steve Richards Holographic Kinetic workshop and was able to connect many dots from Wilde's book.
In other words, the ghouls he talks about are real, much like the jinn and other entities, so I respect Wilde for being aware of all that.
Its just that he has this special way of explaining it which is more kind of poetic and sometimes difficult to understand..

[Hym]

That's absurd, in case it wasn't obvious in my reply. There aren't ghouls, or anything etheric, attached to body parts. Attached to souls within bodies, of all types, there certainly are attachments.

The real question here is what attachment this 'Light and Love' man has connected to that type of sight and what is the depth of damage, the opening for his own personal ghouls to inhabit his "insights" from excessive use of hallucinogens. It is a sad thing sometimes when you don't have close enough friends to tell you when you are pissin' on yourself, especially if you have a gift of some insight. I have had my great share of friends like this and many stories connected to our friendships.

Most likely won't ever read any of Stu's books as I have had friends like him who I have helped come down from acid, heroin, alcohol, etc. I was probably the only friend at a party in the early 70's not using and certainly the only one with B3 to help in case of....? One of my generation's few designated drivers.

Again, a cultural depth that is all about control, control instead of internal strengthening and facing their own fears. For those lovely sensitives out there all they usually need to be reminded of is the power of their own projection or as we would recognize in the real world, their own prejudice.

My personal question to Stu would be who in his life hurt him who had facial hair? This isn't a joke. His case wouldn't be the first.
However, I for one do love the non PC discussion, but have had to remain civil here.

I would suggest for all here who have not done it yet to put on another layer and see how the rest of the world perceives you. It removes any superficial sense of connectivity to the humanity people use as a facade and connects us to those beautiful, strong hearted few who simply see us as humans.

As a very young man I read a book called "Black Like Me" where a white man covered his skin to pass as black. I have lived this for years in various forms as a means to develop compassion, not for the abused, not for the victims, not for those accused of things they did not do. I had that sight as part of my makeup from the start. I was born a healer. I came here with insight and compassion. I didn't need anyone to teach me those things I carry that are deeper than my skin, my hair, or any connection to this body.

I have done these things to develop a greater compassion for humanity and of course, to sharpen my comedic skills. When you're healthy enough it is only natural to seek out the darkness and enter it without fear, or enter it anyway and have some fun. Knowing the brightness of your own soul makes it infinitely easier to challenge yourself.

This may be what this thread is about on a deeper level. It certainly is what this forum is all about.

How "nervous" are you when you're around someone who is comfortable enough not to bow down to social convention? Are you threatened by the independence of spirit that enables anyone to walk their own way, one comfortable enough in a crowd and easy enough on their own?

I will keep it simple,
Its not that ghouls or whatever name is used for these "energies" stick to body parts.
I give you this anecdote I lived coming back from Peru.
I went to Peru and did ayahuasca sessions, it practically saved my life.
I'm not saying this is for everyone , but for me, it did what was needed.
On the way back home I was in a bus, it was a long bus ride and I was trying to relax in an uncomfortable seat.
I had the isle seat. Eyes closed, relaxing, I hear these weird noises coming up the alley, I'm being serious, it sounded like ghouls gnarling.
When the man passed beside me, I actually felt one of these entities grab my leg and scratch it.
I was startled by this and so I opened my eyes and saw the man whom I assume was carrying these entities.
He was very scruffy old man, smelly, you would think he was homeless, maybe he was?
My point is that after my sessions, this was about 4-5 days later, my third eye was very functional, I had many "events" happen to show me this.
So I'm saying that this man was carrying entities on him and one of those grabbed my leg and scratched it, I felt the claws...
The old man probably had no clue, he was just getting out of the bus.
Now you can say whatever you like, I was not dreaming and I was not stoned or out of it, I was just at that point very sensitive and more psycik than usual.

Now you say you have developed compassion for others and at the same time you ask me how uncomfortable am I with soveriegn people?
Your question implies that you judged me in a way that suggests you think I am not comfortable around "someone who is comfortable enough not to bow down to social convention", thinking/judging that I would be somewhat weak in their presence?
Why would you just not accept whatever and whoever I am without having to ask these questions?

I am not here to argue, but your energy sort of fuels arguments.
Maybe its just me being too sensitive?
Could very well be as I am very sensitive, this in fact gives me the capacity to feel people in many ways, even from what they write, and so your "agressive writing stance" would make it so that I would not choose you for any healing.
Thats just me though, I am not saying your not a healer, as there are many versions of that.

Peace to you!

This may go a little off topic, but I owe it to Olam to clarify my writing style and honor his input with a little clarification.

Olam,
Too bad you took my questioning to mean you personally. I'm sorry you misunderstood me. I don't do that on the only forum I'm on. I always use questions to address anyone and everyone in general who's reading. It is my writing style and yes at times it's meant to be aggressive enough to get the point across, but I certainly would not have addressed you personally in this way. You misunderstood. Please excuse my lack of clarity.

If I were to question you personally I'd have done it on the private message section and not here. I only compliment people publicly, so far at least. I did not address you specifically. If I seem to have a conflict with what you have posted it will be in a private way or not at all. Otherwise, as you say, it's a useless argument and a waste of time when we could be discussing why someone sees what they see or thinks what they think.

If you understand that I did not address you, then I'd like to get to the real reason why someone would say what Stu said. I would like to address you in this public forum about your experiences because I can see that we may get some insights into your journey. However I do understand if you do not want to share how taking ayahuasca saved you. (Remember that you can generalize your story, as long as you feel you have shared your truth, which only you can tell. I'd appreciate it.)

Now knowing that you too have had a similar experience, maybe not with beards per say, I'd like to know how long the visions lasted and did you see anything else besides those negative attachments? Did you see anything inspiring and insightful or anything that has helped you not get back to whatever state it was you were in that was life threatening?

I am curious as to how taking ayahuasca saved your life. Would you share that with us? This is why I wrote the response in the first place about Stuart's writing, because some of the evaluations of that book, by those who loved his other books, strongly do not like the book. One suggested that his overuse of ayahuasca caused the disconnect they read in his book. And frankly, anyone saying that ghouls live in beards is pretty lost.

I do my best to use humor when I can, but this obviously runs deeper with you than I could joke about. Take it anyway you like, but it doesn't answer the question and the absurdity of such statements.

I don't and never have taken any hallucinogen, my friend, so please tell me what you think about ghouls living in beards, if that's what you believe he believes or sees.

Thank You, Olam.
Hym

Thank you Hym for your clarification.
Its interesting and on subject about how I reacted to your last post and so I will share a bit.
Now this will for sure derail this thread momentarily as its not really about what the OP is talking about, but then again as many threads posted here, there are parts of the puzzle to be found way out there..

I will generalize my post as there are many details to go into and the iceberg goes very deep in that sea of hidden wisdom and mystery of what life is.
I don't really want to start a thread on my experience although if it can help others why not, lets see.
:-)

Now for me, all my life, I was the victim, it was easy for me to perceive life as me being the victim of life if I can say it this way.
What I did not know and found out with ayahuasca was that I was "abandoned" by my parents at the age of 3 weeks.
My mom started work again, they had to pay the new house that my dad built for us and so I was sent to my aunt for 6 months.
My aunt is a great mother and took care of me, but I needed my mom.
I needed to feel the energetic field that I recognized, close to me, reassuring me and above all, loving me as I was worthy of being loved.
My aunt explained later that I would cry all day and fall asleep exhausted.
Nothing she could do to calm my pain.

Now I did not know this event that took over the rest of my life and so all my life, I was walking around with a huge hole in my soul.
In later years, 5,6,7 and up, I suffered multiple abductions.
Pysical as well as etheric implants and many more events.
At age 7, I was exhausted of life and had lost all will to be happy.
I had no clue why people would laugh so easily, it was a mystery to me.
Later in my teens when I discovered sex drugs and rock and roll, that cured relieved me of some pain but it was only temporary as all of you I am sure would understand.
Then I got a career, got rich and had all the distractions one would want to numb the pain.
Then I hit a wall, got divorced, went bankrupt, lost my buisness, "friends", social status and entered a 3 year medicated depression.
That was 15 years ago.
So for the last 15 years, I have been turned around 180 degrees and have searched for the meaning of my life.
I tried to check out at age 18 and should not be here, but I now know I was protected.

So the ayahuasca was just the next thing in line that I tried as I was desperate to find happiness and the meaning of life.
This is what changed it all for me after trying so many things.

So basically, to make it short.... at the age of 3 weeks, I suffered a great loss where I thought that I was not worthy of being loved. I never knew what real love was as I was never in the pysical proximity of my mother for the first 6 months of my life .
In the years to come, I was not able to love myself, I was not able to receive love, or even recognize it. My ex wife loved me deeply, but I had no clue.
SO the ayahuasca sessions permitted me for the first time to BE pure love...
Once you let go of the fear of dying, or the fear of loosing control which is mainly your ego freaking out as its loosing control, then you transend this wall of fear and on the other side is the source, or what some people would call god. Yes I write it in small letters as for me its not about that god, but the source which is pure love.
The thing is, in the night, you loose control of your body, you are fully concious....its not like an acid trip, your head is all there but you loose your body. You vomit, **** yourself, go thru all kinds of withdrawl symptoms of loosing control and you think you are dying. Well at least thats how it was for me.
The next morning, I swore I would never do it again as its very difficult, but yet, you find the strenght and determination to go on as you also see the rewards which were enormous for me.

So anyhow, the main results for me were that I now know what real love is.
I was ALL OF IT, I was not an individual, I was pure love.
I was able to bless and pardon all the women in my life who left me because I was an emotional mess. I was able to pardon myself and love myself, all of this comes instantly, even if it seems like a universe of info all at once.
I am not a victim of life anymore, I am not a victim ,period.
This is also why I was able to read your post and not freak out or react by ego, I was able to see you for what you are as well as express my inner power that I would not be subject to any kind of malicious control or whatever people like to do with their ego to others.
We all are gifts to others.
I know that with my last post to you......you realized that maybe sometimes you could be less of a power house of energy driving your knowledge to others in a way that might seem agressive.
This was my gift to you, as you gave me the gift and opportunity to know once again that I can absorb and not just react to situations that don't fully jive with me.
So thank you Hym for that opportunity..
:-)

As for the original subject of this thread, I have had many interactions with spirit, entities, "ghouls".....whatever name you want to use, as they are just names.
I even had the "opportunity " to drive out a huge entity from someone, what we can call an exorcist if you will, and I am not sure I want to do that again as it was a huge learning curve all at once and a huge responsability, but I learned so much.
So its not that ghouls live in beards, but they sure can make you be like what they want you to be to feed them.
I mean: Someone could over a period of time become "another" person, where they don't clean themselves any more, they have bad hygene and stink, they can develop deviant behavior not even realizing that its all under unconcious duress , just so that the entity has what it wants.
( I can tell you that many entities like dirty stuff, dirty thoughts, dirty, heavy black energy and that is not a cliché, even if it really is..)

About my psycik abilities that developed with ayahuasca, over time, my third eye closed up significantly as normal life routine took over once again.
The third eye is like a muscle, if you are not born gifted with it fully functional, it takes alot of dicipline to keep it functional.
When I was doing Falun Dafa, a very ancient form of Chi gong, the third eye opened again.
I now stopped this practice and its closed partially now.
What I always had though and sort of shapened after my healing was that:
I look at someone and receive in block form a huge number of details about the emotions of a person. I can know why they are as they are and about where it comes from. I used to use this in the worst way possible, either with women, where I just knew which buttons to press, or even going for a loan at the bank, I just knew what to say to get the loan.....
:-)
BUT
Now, I use it in the way I was born to use it, which is in understanding how I can help someone if they are open to it. I will talk with people about anything, small talk, and messages come up, thought forms downloaded, where I tell them these things, which in some way have a link to the conversation, even if its from very far away. They are always surprised and it can take a few minutes, or up to a few months for them to register what the message is.
I don't claim to have ownwrship on this, I just receive what must be, or not be passed on the the person.
My challenge right now is to know when is the right time and how to say what I say to the person..

Finally I will end with this,
The key to unlocking my talents was absolutly to be able to truly love myself in the purest way possible. Once I was able to do that( the gift from ayahuasca), then I was able to know what the hell I am supposed to do in this life.
I also work with animals, I do Reiki type healing on horses and other animals if they ask...
I would like to assist animals to die, or I should say its more about helping the owners cope with this as animals do not judge death, but at last I could help with some pain.

Right now, I am developing exponentially and its all flowing in perfect syncronicity.
I do not know where I am going, I keep the mystery intact as I know that all is as it should be.
I meet the right people at the right time now and its all great!

Thank you Hym for opening this opportunity for me to express myself.

Also, to all, I am sorry for the errors in writing, i rather let the info flow than to look on the internet on the correct spelling of all the words.

many blessings to all who are here
Ho, and so it is.

Beautiful and Heartfelt, My friend. Thank You !!!!!!!

Funny, but about 2 months ago I was due a haircut, but for some reason I just 'felt' like I should let it grow...this is a challenge for me as my hair is so thick.....it grows way out before it grows down if that makes sense!

But I am sticking with it...gonna let my freak flag fly!!
