"The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long" --Reported by C. Young

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

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the 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 Vietnam.

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 causalities 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.”

Comment:

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

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

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.

This can be applied to anyone, not just the natives. It is said that African hair is an antenna to the most high! HHJ!
 
In consideration of what I learned biblically in that hair is our strength, I can see this article having some merit.
 
The article makes sense but I'm skeptical.

Agree caribeandiva, I think the article makes sense but there are aspects I doubt. I engage with military often and I believe hair cut or not, a good soldier would perform their duty flawlessly. Nonetheless, great article and gives us something to think about.
 
Don't want to be rude but this seems like a load of rubbish to me!

There is no science or evidence behind this at all. One person could've easily made that whole thing up.
 
I believe as people become "Westernized" they lose their sixth sense and connection to the elements and earth. This has happened to Africans who came here via the Middle Passage, American Indians etc. Therefore, I believe this is plausible. Everything is not 2+2=4.
 
Thanks for posting this.

Spiritualists also believe that hair is like antennae and using chemicals and what not on it and keeping it short lessens our sixth senses.

I believe it.
 
Very interesting read. What I learned from elders in my godfathers tribe is that hair holds memory. This is why Lakotas are not suppose to cut their hair until a time of sorrow such as losing a parent. Hair holds memory which holds power.

Hair does hold memory. They can do tests on your hair to tell your environment and what you've been eating/exposed to. I just read an article this morning that said that hair is an antenna and a protector from parasites. This info matches up and I find it ironic that I've read the same information twice in one day by two unrelated authors.

Meh, the amazing African and Australian Aboriginal trackers I've seen didn't have long hair.

Interesting! My grandfather (who if he lived would have been well over 100 by now) believed that. He used to say that you shouldn't comb your hair at night before you go to bed because it'll make you forgetful. Reading your statement reminded me of his belief.
 
Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's not true. I love the "every part has a purpose" part. I also love that we are alway discovering things we didn't know. Peace be the journey...
 
Does this mean it would be better if I didn't bun my hair? But I don't want any SSKs!!!!!

Eta: I believe it!!
