Hair and psychic ability

[jivatman]

69.0 Ra: I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator.

Before we proceed may we make a small request for future workings. At this particular working there is some slight interference with the contact due to the hair of the instrument. We may suggest the combing of this antenna-like material into a more orderly configuration prior to the working.

We communicate now.

75.32 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.

75.33 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 reason I am posting this now is because I was reading a thread on another website

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread637577/pg1

(Note, ATS rarely has interesting threads anymore, like 70% are doom predictions for dates, which, of course, never happen. I still go there out of habit from when it was once good)

It is an anonymous source, but essentially talks about how a special forces group looked for talented scouts on Indian reservations, but when they joined, without fail, they lost their "sixth sense" that made them so good.

They say the army eventually concluded it was the cutting of hair that caused their loss of ability.

The source is second hand and anonymous, but I am posting it here because it conflates with the Ra material.

Hehehe... I always hated having my hair cut. After my awakening I suddenly had the urge to wear it open ... before I usually wore braid or ponytails. I really believe that it serves as some kind of antenna, as in the Ra material mentioned. Also the story with Samson and Delilah fits very nicely.
In my view long hair symbolizes freedom... also think of the hippie generation in the 60s.
And what do they do to prisoners? Cut their hair, right?

[Monica]

Funny, I was just thinking of starting a thread on this very topic...just today!!

I am curious as to the experiences of people when they had long hair vs. short. Also, what about those who intentionally shave their heads? What is the significance of that? What about coloring and other hair treatments? Do the chemicals used on hair impair the antenna function?

And, just what is being picked up by those antenna?

I can't help but think that long hair allows for better emotional expression. Historically, women have been more emotional. The hippie men became more in touch with their feelings and spirituality. Short hair is generally considered more austere, for both men and women.

These are all generalities of course...what are people's experiences?

Animals are covered in fur and operate largely by instinct. Do humans lose instinctual capabilities (intuition) when coloring, cutting or treating their hair?

[Ashim]

Here is some of what Ra told us.

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.

Questioner: Was this what I would refer to as an increased ability to receive telepathically over a broader range of basic frequencies so as to include not only the Confederation but also this entity?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The high point of the cycle sharpens the ability to pick up the signal but does not change the basic nature of the carrier wave. Shall we say, there is greater power in the receiving antennae.

Questioner: Will you expand on the positive and negative polarizations in general and how they apply to individuals and planets, etc.? I think there is a correlation here, but I’m not sure.

Ra: I am Ra. It is correct that there is a correlation between the energy field of an entity of your nature and planetary bodies, for all material is constructed by means of the dynamic tension of the magnetic field. The lines of force in both cases may be seen to be much like the interweaving spirals of the braided hair. Thus positive and negative wind and interweave forming geometric relationships in the energy fields of both persons, as you would call a mind/body/spirit complex, and planets.

[Ali Quadir]

Lol

Al that is fine with me.. I have a big thing with long hair. I remember laughing the first time I read that Ra quote, anything that promotes the existence of long hair is a good thing. Many religious scriptures carry prohibitions against cutting the hair in any way including Christianity.

I don't know what it's like to have short hair so I cannot comment on the difference, and I won't experiment But I did notice the weird effect that somehow washing my hair helps alleviate flues, pains, moods it just always makes me feel better. I thought I was just being weird.

Also a bit more nefarious but when you enter monasteries, or get drafted into the army, basically any place where they see personal opinions as a bad thing the first thing to go is the hair.

[Monica]

I'm a bit partial to long hair too!

Ha!

But I did notice the weird effect that somehow washing my hair helps alleviate flues, pains, moods it just always makes me feel better. I thought I was just being weird.

Oh definitely! Nothing weird about that!

Also a bit more nefarious but when you enter monasteries, or get drafted into the army, basically any place where they see personal opinions as a bad thing the first thing to go is the hair.

Well many of our members have short hair, so this is obviously only a generalization, but I agree that this is a significant observation, and the same is true for fundamentalist religions.

[Ali Quadir]

Fundamentalist religions? Fundamentalist jews grow their hair, fundamentalist christians of specific groups also grow their hair. And muslims too although they tend to focus on the hair hanging under the chin.

Reminds me.. The wizard stereotype, has the characteristic huge beard. Maybe that's involved too. Or maybe that's just a significator of age.

Hippies = peace & love
Skinheads= war & hate

very interesting topic for me given that i have alopecia which was clearly a pre incarnative choice and therefore have no hair at all

speaking to a friend a month or so ago i said that i keep getting nudges to stay grounded, in the present, focussed on the human experience and to experience faith without certainty. perhaps the decision to develop alopecia is part of that by reducing the liklihood of psychic experiences? i certainly get the feeling that i am not as 'connected' now as i have been in the past and at times find that incredibly frustrating. i always thought alopecia was connected to triggering an understanding of superficiality for me and for those around me, but perhaps there was more to it than that

[Ali Quadir]

Nonsense Ashim.

There's skinhead organisations like SHARP (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice) and the redskin skinheads. And the anarchist skinheads. All of them are going to be slightly ticked off if you say that to their face. Also the original english skinheads copied their look from the jamaican bad boys..

Also there are European pagan groups who wear long hair to honor their ancestors and are often violent and racist... Just like our ancestors were...

You simply cannot make those generalizations.

[Ashim]

I only stated 2 cases that may support the argument.
Why was the establishment in the west so against 'long haired' youths during the rock and roll era (50's & 60's).
There could be a correlation between military code (short back & sides) and this theory.
Government/Military trained indigenous trackers were found to almost complety lose their instictive abilities in the 'field' when their hair was cut.
This information is well known by many.

Far from being a generalization I have attempted to engage in informed discussion.
Please study the source material before dismissing a post as being 'nonsense'.

I also found this very interesting.
My physical manifestations would also seem to have been a pre-incarnate choice to help guide the lifetime events.
Could it be Lorna that you have very strong metaphysical abilities.
Then this would make more sense.

[Lorna]

my hints and memories of past lives suggest there being several on a monastic theme - i think spirituality and religion have been my comfort zone - this life is about coming out of my comfort zone and engaging, which has been challenging tbh
as a child i had strong memories, like physical memories, of the 'how' of telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation - it's always annoyed me that i can't do these very natural things volunteering to have my antennae disappear seems to fit

[Ali Quadir]

Why was the establishment in the west so against 'long haired' youths during the rock and roll era (50's & 60's).

Because they were taking drugs, talking about freedoms and breaking with the taboos of their ancestors... Their hair really had nothing to do with it. It was just a sign or marker. If those people wore their hair in a regular manner the same would have happened. In fact, the beatniks and nozems did carry their hair fairly normal and they still got beaten by 'establishment'.

But did their change from hippie to skinhead change them from peace lovers to war lovers? Because that was the statement I objected against!

Far from being a generalization I have attempted to engage in informed discussion.

Hippies = peace & love
Skinheads= war & hate

This is nonsensical. I tend to like almost everything you say Ashim. But this is nonsensical and it's prejudiced. And I don't need any source material to tell you that. Because I know for a fact it is not true. I'm actually very surprised that you make this statement.

Hippies are humans, skinheads are humans. What else but diversity can you expect?

I grew up in a town where 70% of the youth was either a hippie/punk or a skinhead. They fought a lot. Rural town, not much else to do. And yeah perhaps they were a bit more aggressive than us hippies. But that had to do more with the music and drugs consumed by the different groups than it had to do with the hair.

Also and more important, I had friends who were hippies, and friends who were skins. So I honestly don't need source material to tell you that your description is nonsensical. I went to school with the source material.

Do you understand I am objecting ONLY to those two lines that you put down? Not against any hidden or overt meaning that you have not stated in those two lines? Certainly not against the idea that long hair might be a psychic antennae, it could be, my ego would like it to be, and I most certainly do not object against you personally.

But this is like saying "All americans are capitalists". Or "all arabs wear explosives". Or "all germans like sauerkraut." Reality just never works that way.

[Monica]

Fundamentalist religions? Fundamentalist jews grow their hair, fundamentalist christians of specific groups also grow their hair. And muslims too although they tend to focus on the hair hanging under the chin.

True. I was referring to ultra-conservative born-again Christians and Mormons, who insist on clean-cut, short hair and conservative clothing.

Reminds me.. The wizard stereotype, has the characteristic huge beard. Maybe that's involved too. Or maybe that's just a significator of age.

Wizards! Oh yes, that's got to be significant, most definitely! And the Chinese sages would have very long beards, which they would stroke when teaching their students.

Hippies = peace & love

Haha, that pretty much sums it up, Ashim!

Me...

Yes? Go on? What about you? hehe

You simply cannot make those generalizations.

What Ashim said was no more of a generalization than what what we've been saying about the military, monasteries, wizards, etc. This subject lends itself to generalization.

Of course one cannot say that there are no wizards with short hair, or that every skinhead is a racist. Not sure how a skinhead is defined, anyway? I too thought it was a term referring to a certain look and attitude; ie. racist. Are you referring to 'skinhead' as a description of anyone who is bald? If that's the case, then I had never before heard the term used that way.

So it is a common stereotype, just like the hippie=long hair/peace/love is a stereotype. At the same time, it's reasonable to assume a connection between hippies growing their hair long in defiance of the establishment, while being revolutionaries in the name of peace. We all know that lots of men grew their hair long simply to be in style or sell rock records, but still, why were they attracted to a lifestyle associated with the peace movement?

They're all just generalizations, not absolutes.

[Ashim]

This is not about hairless or hairy people and their personal ideoligies, it's about trying to bridge a gap of knowledge between hair and phychic ability.
You are assuming that I have a preference for one side of the coin which is not true.
Let us divide into 2 rough groups - the hairy (longer hair, beard) and the hairless. Now we have 2 polarities.
Now I ask the question which group adheres more to doctrine? Again in general as there are always exceptions.

Why was the establishment in the west so against 'long haired' youths during the rock and roll era (50's & 60's).

Because they were taking drugs, talking about freedoms and breaking with the taboos of their ancestors... Their hair really had nothing to do with it. It was just a sign or marker.

OK now it's my turn to object. The hair had a LOT to do with it! The drugs didn't start until the mid-60s, yet the Beatles were totally scorned because of their 'mop tops.' And I witnessed plenty of long-haired guys getting discriminated against, regardless of whether they did drugs or not. I heard my bigoted brothers scorn hippies because "they looked like girls" (translate: in touch with their feelings) with no mention made of drugs. It was the hair. They found the hair offensive.

Even as recently as 5 years ago, my own son experienced discrimination from a born-again Christian homeschool group as well as a Mormon group, both of whom readily acknowledged that he wasn't doing any drugs. They just couldn't handle the hair, because it represented a break from conformity in their social circle. The Mormon group even had a celebration when one of their own cut his hair and thus came back into the fold.

If those people wore their hair in a regular manner the same would have happened.

Sure. But, conversely, it could also be said that, had they had long hair without the drugs, the same would have happened.

In fact, the beatniks and nozems did carry their hair fairly normal and they still got beaten by 'establishment'.

Not nearly to the degree that the hippies did. (Although, admittedly I wasn't born yet then.)

But did their change from hippie to skinhead change them from peace lovers to war lovers? Because that was the statement I objected against!

I can't speak for Ashim, but in all fairness, I really don't think that's how he intended those statements. It would be just as absurd to think that every bald man is hateful and racist, as it would be to think that every long-haired man is peaceful and loving. The statement was clearly meant to convey the idea that people with those inclinations gravitated to those movements for a reason, being that long hair simply lends itself to development of emotional expression, empathy, intuition and psychic abilities. We know this from Ra. Thus, it makes sense that someone intent on being a hateful racist, might find it easier to do that with a bald head than with long hair. Obviously this doesn't mean that every bald man is a hateful racist. But to totally discount the effect of hair, would be to discount what Ra said about it.

But this is nonsensical and it's prejudiced.

It is prejudiced only if that is the way it was intended. If an intent of prejudice wasn't there, then that would indicate it is being perceived as prejudiced.

It's easy to misunderstand one another when we are limited to typed words being transmitted electronically.

Certainly not against the idea that long hair might be a psychic antennae, it could be, my ego would like it to be,

Well that is a simple matter of whether or not one chooses to accept Ra's words about it, since Ra did refer to it as 'antenna-like substance.' The fact that the Ra transmission would be interfered with by Carla's hair, and they had to arrange her hair, backs this up.

I personally accept what Ra said and go on the assumption that it's an antenna.

Which then follows the question: How sensitive is this antenna? Clearly people cannot be so easily categorized as to be divided into long hair vs short hair or no hair. Clearly there are hateful long-hairs and loving bald people. So it's not simple as just drawing a line in the sand.

Still, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater by totally negating the hair factor either. There are many factors influencing the type of person one is, ie. whether they are loving or hateful, etc. Hair is one of those factors. Not the only factor. But one of those factors.

I absolutely believe the military is well aware of this fact and that's why they cut the hair of new recruits. It's a control mechanism. But it also lessens the soldier's ability to feel compassion for the so-called 'enemy.'

[yossarian]

You guys are confusing psychic ability and morality.

Does psychic ability affect polarity? Or is polarity just a free will choice?

If long hair gives psychic ability that doesn't mean it gives peace and love. There are plenty of STS psychics.

Having said that, there IS a hippie vs. skinhead stereotype where the hippies are seen as intuitive and the skinheads are seen as rationalist eugenicists.

However you also have the buddhists who are all skinheads, and are seen as intuitive.

Western monasteries did not shave heads, they had those monk-like mop tops or whatever you call them.

In the east the head is shaved probably for convenience and hygiene, since monks live so austerely. Not to suppress psychic ability.

Of course the Hindus don't shave their heads - many Hindus were told by their gurus specifically not to cut their hair. One example comes to mind is Yogananda - he came to America to teach Yoga and his guru told him to dress like a Westerner, talk like a westerner, eat like a westerner, etc. He told him to forget that he was hindu - BUT! The one instruction he gave him that didn't fit in with America was that he should not cut his hair!

Also on a personal note the more connected I feel to source the more I have the inclination not to shave or cut my hair. Right now I'm growing it out pretty wildly and that correlates with a few months of heightened spirituality for me.

[Monica]

All very good points, yossarian!

[turtledude23]

Isn't Ra saying that as long as your hair is 4.5 inches long it doesnt matter how much longer it is? I'm thinking of getting a haircut today. I generally feel more energetic with short hair, the only good thing about long hair is hiding my eyes behind it when i feel like being introverted.

[jivatman]

Isn't Ra saying that as long as your hair is 4.5 inches long it doesnt matter how much longer it is?

I believe you are correct, and that Ra is saying length beyond 4.5 will not have a significant effect.

Note that the configuration of hair is also a consideration, thus if very long hair is hard to control that might be detrimental.

If long hair gives psychic ability that doesn't mean it gives peace and love. There are plenty of STS psychics.

True, like Rasputin, who had long hair.

11.8 Questioner: Is there anyone in our history who is commonly known who went to a fourth-density self-service or negative type of planet or any who will go there?

Ra: I am Ra. The number of entities thus harvested is small. However, a few have penetrated the eighth level which is only available from the opening up of the seventh through the sixth. Penetration into the eighth or intelligent infinity level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested if it wishes at any time/space during the cycle.

11.9 Questioner: Are any of these people known in the history of our planet by name?

Ra: I am Ra. We will mention a few. The one known as Taras Bulba, the one known as Genghis Khan, the one known as Rasputin.

11.10 Questioner: How did they accomplish this? What was necessary for them to accomplish this?

Ra: I am Ra. All of the aforementioned entities were aware, through memory, of Atlantean understandings having to do with the use of the various centers of mind/body/spirit complex energy influx in attaining the gateway to intelligent infinity.

11.11 Questioner: Did this enable them to do what we refer to as magic? Could they do paranormal things while they were incarnate?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The first two entities mentioned made little use of these abilities consciously. However, they were bent single-mindedly upon service to self, sparing no efforts in personal discipline to double, re-double and so empower this gateway. The third was a conscious adept and also spared no effort in the pursuit of service to self.

[Brittany]

I have had my hair both very short and very long, and I have to say I have noticed very little difference between the two. I tend to prefer short hair because I don't like spending a lot of time messing with it, and my abilities function fine either way. Not to say that it doesn't have significance, but I haven't noticed anything personally.

[Richard]

It has been wayyy longer. But, the older I get, the less I want to mess with it. From a purely practical standpoint, I keep it fairly short these days. Not buzzed...but about 1 inch overall probably.

Richard

[Ali Quadir]

Ashim, just something from me to you, clear as sunlight bright as rain. You're awesome in my book. Our discussion I don't really care about right now. I've known you for a while now, you've never not been awesome. I thought about that, disagreeing does not change that.

In my book, hair, hairless, it doesn't matter. I've been semi raised by one or more baldy buddhists, they were awesome. And some hairy sufi.. How could I refuse someone for the length of their hair? Maybe it's true, maybe short hairs are less psychic. But they're no less my brothers and sisters.

In the end it's just us... Just all of us. Who cares about right my brother, would you not bleed for those who are our tribe?

[Ashim]

Please Ali I do not want to be held in awe nor do I wish to be believed. These are not my reasons for being here.
I'm just undecided about the haircut.

Love & Light

[Richard]

It appears that indecision may be an afterthought in this case.

If that is you, I would say keep your hat pulled down. If its not....then indecision may not be such a bad thing.

[Namaste]

Carla's hair acted as antennae for a very specific kind of contact, 'narrow-band' as Ra described it. I would imagine it had a marginal beneficial effect in that.

Personally, I do not think hair length has anything to do with psychic ability. ESP is down to unlocking aspects of ones own consciousness (and hence DNA).

Have you ever seen a 'Grey' drawn with flowing locks of hair? ;¬)

[Deekun]

Ah, I keep constantly being told to cut my hair short... I don't really like it too short. I have the same problem with understanding the whole hair thing.
Then it started to dawn on me... what if... and this is a big IF. What if entities that communicate with us have preferences that they decided to pass down to us. For all we know Yaweh could prefer long hair where as other beings could prefer no hair. It could be due to the method of communication, maybe one is right and the other is wrong. Maybe one way could block our intuition and that would be considered desirable to said entity to maintain control over us, while another knows how that can hurt is and requests hair to be removed.
It's a pickle alright and it would be nice to know the real answer.

[CarlS]

Well I have some knowledge and wisdom with regards to this hair issue. Deekun hit the pickle on the head of the nail about different entities prefer different hair styles. It's a fashion thing and everything likes to be fashionable. Now think of hair as an external representation of our DNA. Everyone should know by now from all the CSI's and Law and Orders that they can't get a good sample of your DNA from hair unless they get a root from below the surface of your epidermal layer. Now with that said think of hair like trees, plants and such and if you pull them up from the ground, ie unplug them from Mother Earth/Miss Eden then chances are they'll die unless tended too. Now with hair as it gets longer and longer from the root it's pushing out all the garbage DNA (which isn't really garbage but that's what scientist call it cause they don't understand garbage).

So back to hair length and stuff. If you didn't hear India recently allowed or recommended that men in that country can get certain hair styles that are govermentally approved. Kinda weird but this is an important thing to consider when thinking of your higher selves. I say higher selves cause people here still think they have only one higher self but it's more like an infinite amount of scenarios have been played out throughout all of time and since time is an illusion nothing makes sense anymore because we're all so lost in the now that the past has become a joke and the future is unpredictable! This is great because it's something to do with the golden age and it's a good time to be alive even though it's really hard to make a living.

So our higher self's love us so much they like to share us to other higher self's and what better way to do that then to get a hair cut and change your image. It's one of the simplest forms of evolution. A different look = a different perspective for yourself and the people that interact with you. You as a creator have created a new you! This will change how you act, what you'll wear and open new doors in your imagination. Why do you think girls constantly get their hair dyed blonde? Cause blondes have more fun!

Ok it's not often I post with out talking some crazy so here's the crazy cause this is what I've been dealing with extensively for many years and after reading the LOO material things just started blowing up in my face. So I've had amazingly soft thin blonde hair all my life. Girls use to pet my head like I was a dog when it was long which isn't helpful in the bars when your interested in meeting other new girls so I'd cut my hair short...then grow it back out long and while growing it out I'd experiment with various hairs styles and products. Last year about this time I was going through the "I can hear everbody's thoughts cause they keep speaking in a fractal code of crazyness that I've been learning how to decipher which the Ra writings provide the ground work. I consider the LOO material as the cliff notes to the longest worste knock knock joke in history and the first question a test of bullshit. So I was with these to ladies both older then me last year and I delivered them some medicine fresh from the vine and they both had their husbands with them and I have nothing but great respect for both couples as they are an inspiration to me. Now I showed up and the ladies were all over me petting me and rubbing up against me and they started petting my hair again. It was a magical time just before christmas and the new girl started asking me to guess what some weird coins had on the other side of the faces...like the value. She was testing my psychic abilities and as a natural born looser I failed. The other lady which I've known for much longer said my hair wasn't long enough then a glass of water was spilled and the madness of the spillage and the confusion of the mess made everyone loose track but since I was the sober one I still knew I was being tested.

The short of it is Highschool never ends, life is one big test, don't let your waters get still and stagnant, mix things up, don't measure everything and work from your heart and mind and body and let chance have it's way for a change. The funniest thing about the Law of One material is figuring out what Law you picked to be number 2. In order to figure that out sometimes great change is needed. Start with a haircut. If you don't have hair wear a wig.

Enjoy!
