This information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Vietnam (sometimes spelled 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 Vietnam 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 Vietnam 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 casualties 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 Native American 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.” Additional Notes: 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.

The Virl Society, a German occult cult, also believed in the perceptive qualities of very long hair on women. The cult died along with Nazi Germany.

What you "believe" is your own affair "Paul"; no one can "make" you believe anything, nor should they try. Do your own homework and due diligence, if you are truly interested to learn more —which appears highly doubtful.

As much as I agree with the concept, in spirit, intellectually and scientifically I have to agree with Paul... But in this case, spirit wins me over. To heck with science, looks where it's gotten the human race so far... we were better off when we sleeping in teepees and hunting buffalo.

both mammals and reptiles have evolved for millions of years. they have feather's because their scales/skin evolved into feathers.. hair grows out of the skin and itself is made of skin and is connected the the nerves beneath the skin. its not so far fetched that another creatures tool that allows it sense of touch. i.e the skin to adapt in all kinds of ways.

If hair is so advantageous then why is baldness so dominant in human males? One would think that baldness would have been bred out through natural selection.

Maybe male baldness is a direct cause of our toxic food, air, or water. Anything that can cause testosterone levels to sky rocket can cause 'male pattern baldness' and no doctor will ever admit to it. They'll tell you it's hereditary and can't wait to prescribe some b.s.ointment. The type of baldness may be passed down- ie: both you and your dad only have a big bald spot in the back of your head only, etc. But, the baldness itself is not and could more than likely be avoided alltogether.

I do not recommend taking copper supplements unless you have a documented deficiency, except as part of a balanced multivitamin. Copper must be kept in balance with zinc, and most people actually have too much copper relative to zinc, rather than vice versa. But men sometimes take zinc supplements, which can throw their copper balance out of whack. Many good zinc supplements also contain copper to prevent the imbalance.

To me the fact that both Monks and the milititary shave their heads is NOT to stop interference...because this can be picked up by other sensory appendages that we all possess....but in fact to actually surrender (religiously as in the Monks perception...and unconsciously to the others involved...) our individual 'power' to a force outside of ourselves....it is an act of martyrdom.

@Nephrite Very interesting, I hadn't thought of it in those terms. I guess i was considering it from a more literal point of view. I suppose not only is the surrender of power, but also individuality, since hair is a very defining feature on a lot of humans.

wow, a discussion this long on long hair and no mention of long hair in relation to mechanics. a master mechanic I know told me that there is a tradition, when a mechanic gets a new job he cuts his hair, so a mechanic with very long hair has been in his job a long time and therefore is good.....funny no one mentioned it. lots of good points though.

Well of course!! It makes sense to me, at least. The time of the Vietnam War was when us hippies were raising consciousness higher than it had ever been before - we wore our hair long.

Ellin, what about aaaaalllll the other worthless schmucks who had long hair out of general sloth and who never did a single damned thing to 'raise consciousness'?! Hmmm? There's been millions of them. And 'hippies' in the 60's and since are among the single most overplayed, over-exaggerated in terms of actual effect, and self-glorifying substrata of humanity ever. Not to mention damned annoying. And you think hippies raised 'consciousness higher than it had ever been before"? Go to India, Tibet, or Nepal. Metaphysical leaps and bounds beyond what hippies ever did.
