Does having long hair somehow enhance our abilities?
Let’s find out
Long hair has been cited as a source of strength since before the bible’s popularisation of this idea through its tale of Samson & Delilah.
Samson was a man who had immense strength…as long as his hair remained uncut. For those of you who don't know this story, it didn't turn out so good for him in the end. Shame on you Delilah.

Indeed, the various indigenous tribes around the world are very often found to be full of long-haired people. And no doubt they would have been this way for countless generations before the modern world discovered them.
Buy why?
The Native American Indian

Every part of our body serves a purpose and hair, like skin is an extension of the nervous system. Many people believe that hair is useless. Just a fashion accessory. But it turns out that it is in fact a highly evolved type of antenna which transmits vast amounts of information to the brainstem, the limbic system and the neocortex.
The proof
Back in the Vietnam war, the US government recruited Native American Indians for their 6th sense & tracking abilities. But upon giving them the traditional G.I. buzzcut, something unexpected happened. At great expense they learned that once out in the jungles of Vietnam, these people no longer possessed the skills they were recruited for. Even upon returning home, they could no longer track or use their intuition as they once could.
A testing institute was established in which trackers were subjected to 'enemy detection' exercises before and after having their hair cut, and low and behold the answer was clear.
So from that day forth, the Native American Indian trackers were permitted to keep their long hair whilst serving in this war.
The Ascended Masters
If we look at the three most popular Ascended Masters of our time, Jesus, Buddha & Mohammed, it would seem that they all had long hair. I understand it is impossible to say for sure how these people kept their hair, but we can at least establish their popular depiction.

Jesus - The most popular depiction of Jesus is as a white man with long hair and beard.
Buddha - Despite his modern day bald-headed followers, Buddha himself is said to have had long hair. Usually weaved into a delightful pattern upon his head, which gave the impression of a hat made up of balls.
Mohammed - It is said that he wore his hair 'from more than shoulder-length' and sometimes even braided it for long journeys. And it goes without saying that he had a beard. The modern Muslim man can have any hairstyle he wants as long as it is not:
(a) imitating women in style or length, or
(b) imitating non-Muslims in a style that is specifically attributed to them, or
(c) imitating a hairstyle that is immediately understood to be characteristic of sinful people.
...which does in my humble opinion, somewhat limit their options.
Other religions in which men do not cut their hair:
Orthodox Jews - The traditional side curls represent a life-time of growth. Though the hair can be cut in other places.
Rastafaris - We all know and love the dreadlocked look of the Rasta, popularised by Bob Marley.
Sikhism - Hair is traditionally not cut or trimmed in any way throughout their lives.
Amish - The beard is kept long only if they are married.
All of these religions do this because they believe it creates a stronger connection with their God(s).
Why is this relevant to me now?
I am not a religious person despite being brought up Christian. Today I regard myself as a spiritual person with a respect for all religions and a healthy interest in the constant pursuit of knowledge through experience. And this information on hair has influenced the way I live my life now.
I have not cut my hair since my partner Sabrina became pregnant with out second child nine months ago because it is my belief that us men are just as involved in the pregnancy period and birth of children as women. And as such I am doing my best to connect myself with the non-physical, in order to be of assistance to this process.
Our first child Esteban was born in the South of France, in 2.5 hours, 100% naturally. And Esteban happens to be one of the most wonderful babies you will ever meet.
Most people say we were just lucky. But I happen to know different. During this first pregnancy period we practiced our own version of a technique called Hypno-Birthing which I will go into in more detail in a later post.
I do plan on cutting my hair after our second child is born, due to the excessive all-year-round heat & humidity here in Bali, but for now it remains long and I remain connected and ready for the birth.
And I look forward to writing a post in which I announce the simple birth of our daughter Luna, who I do believe, if my instincts serve me correctly, will be born shortly after the new moon, a week from now. Despite today being the originally predicted due date.
How does this relate to Steemit?
As a user of Steemit, instinct is an important factor.
- How do you FEEl during the creation of an article?
- Is today the right day to post it?
- When is the best time to convert Steem to Bitcoin?
Whilst there is a certain amount of fact to base our decisions upon it is crucial that we learn to trust our instincts in these matters. Stop and think too much about the logic behind a decision, and your ability to use your instinct is gone.
It is better to close your eyes and FEEL your way into the answer. And having long hair clearly enhances one's ability to do this.
It just so happens that Steemit was introduced to me by a man with very long hair and a beard. At a time when I was posting relentlessly to Youtube with the intention of generating some income for the future of my growing family.
Of course, my time on Steemit has coincided with the pregnancy period, so my hair has been left uncut and I cannot yet tell you what my experience of this platform is like with short hair.
But what I can tell you is that I have risen to a rep of 66.9 currently ranked at #218 (based on reputation) in the space of five months. And I have enjoyed every step of the way.
In conclusion
This phenomena would explain why women throughout history have been seen by men (and sometimes persecuted for it) to possess super-natural skills.
And if the male Ascended Masters really did have long hair, then perhaps there is something to this.
So in conclusion all I can say is why not give it a try?
Grow your hair long - do better on Steemit!
