Post by: Qui-Gon Jinn on April 17, 2002, 01:23:04
I can´t in my wildest fantasy - well perhaps if I dig real deep - believe it could have any difference being bald or lots of hair up there.
And I hope not, since I´m growing mine "Qui-Gon- style".... hehee ...

Take care!

And to think, I don't have to dig deep cause I don't have all my hair in the way!  
That and my brain just works this way some times.  Is that healthy?

I cannot see why it would make a difference. It might make a difference to you personally for psycological reasons. It could also be that since you have changed your hairstyle your attention is more directed toward your head and this newness you have about you. This could be adding more energy to your upper chakras and making it easier for you. (It sounds good anyway :) )
I have thought about shaving my head and if I do I will let you know if anything changes. Though I do not know if I will because my girlfriend said she would kill me if I did. :)

I have had my head shaved for over a year now so it's not really new.  Good thought any how.

Could it have anything to do with self image?  I only ask that because a persons inner self image does not always match what they look like.  But you can not describe your own inner self image.  But would it be possible that the more you do things to change your body to match that image you are some how drawn closer to the inner you.  And therefor a touch closer to your energy self.  And that would create a hightend sense of "feeling".

Sound plauseable?

Every time I see a picture of a asian munk I feel like shaving my head- but I still havn´t done it. It might ad to the feeling of spirituality though- but that´s probably just a self image thing.

I do find that for me it was some what of a freeing experience the 1st time.  I think of it now as a way of saying, "Look I have nothing to hide."

I also tend to like that slapping sound that is made when clasping it after a fresh shave.

I have many times thought about shaving it all of, but never done it.
One get inspired when seeing - like Felix says - buddhist munks and other "spiritual engaged" people with their "top shining", it looks so fockin´ (sorry) comfortable and "free" sorta...

But I think Mozez the cat would go on a hunger strike or something if I did, since his #1 favourite hobby is to chew on mehair...  Now he is drinking in my fountain, that lil bastard!! ;)  I think he has mutated into a beaver, cause he uses his sharp lil teeth pretty frequently as well as don´t mind getting wet....

Here in Tennessee, USA we have been having unseasonably warm weather. It makes me want to just shave my head to be cooler (temperature wise not hip) and to not have to deal with hair. I think it would make me feel free just because I would not have to worry about washing my hair, just run a wash cloth over it, and not have to comb it or worry how it looks in the mornings. Hey, it might save me a few minutes that I could use to sleep in. This might be a good idea. Hehe

Greetings fellow melonheads! I have been shaving my head since I graduated college 2 years ago. I find it to be much more "pure" if that makes any sense. I feel much cleaner, it's easy to keep up (no bed-head) and makes me feel liberated in a way. I don't know if it's really made me more receptive, but for a fact I was far less spiritually involved 2 years ago....

Beenig totaly shaved seems like alot of work actaually- once I used to have one of those "hair cutting maschines" -like the ones they have in the army, and then I used to cut the hair down to say 10 milimeters every month or so, it was wery practicall and cheap- no paing 20 bucks at the barbers any more  :)

Well, but thinking about really SHAVING seems different- don´t you guys have to shave almoust every week?  do you use some machine or blades?

Well here in sweden we have a six months winter- so too short hair can get a bit cold- so I always let it grow a bit longer in the winter- don´t you agree Richard?

Felix, did you have to remind about our 6 month winter ;)  But I agree, being completely hairless (up front) could be pretty cold when living as we do up in Scandinavia.  Let me tell you, its pretty darn cold - but the girls.... ahh the girls, you americans and aussies don´t know what you are missing ;)
They make up for the cold no doubt, and they have to keep warm you know - that´s when us guys comes in and saves the day......  =^[)
 I could live with the winter being narrowed down to 3 months though, since I enjoy the summer more to be honest.
 Anyway, I´m gonna sacrifice this summer to be warm when next winter strikes, meaning I ain´t touching my hair, sure I´ll be sweating like an icecream this summer...  I´ll probably look one of the "psycklos" from Battlefield Earth by then next winter....  can´t wait..

FallnAngel77, Distant Bell, Qui-gon Jinn

You know the only thing is that I always get the urge the worst during the winter.  Seems kinda odd.  But every time I have done it it was in the winter.  But now it has been a winter, summer, winter, and summer soon again.  I think I am going to keep doing this for a while.

Bhikku

I know what you mean about feeling just generally cleaner.  Of course with my job it is definatly a bonus since I no longer have to try and wash gearse, soot, dirt, and god knows what else from my hair.   The only thing being no when I smake my head on stuff it seems to hurt more and EVERY ONE can see the marks from it.


Distant Bell

To answer your question.  Some times its once a week and sometimes its every other day.  On day two your head kinda gets like sandpaper because of the stubble.  And I usually use a razor to shave it.  I might trim it down first with a beard trimmer but after that I grab the Bic.  Electric razors take too long and they can actually hurt a little.

Hey who was that bible character who had loads of hair and was really strong but then he got with some decietful women who was under the control of some hateful king and she chopped all his hair off in the night, and he ended up really weak, got captured and dies pulling down a temple he was imprisoned in...or something. And why do all serious spritual people have either reeeeaaaallly long hair or none at all????? eg Roberto Bruceo the dude said once he has long hair and a big beard - like to see that! I saw the head druid in England once on TV too and he had the same. But then Buddists like the Dalia Lama have no hair, as per their tradition I suppose.
I figured it could be something to do with lack of care about local culture and fashion and all that lowly malarky.

And if you are talking about women....just come to bath uni. My own theory is that the honies migraten in from local the area, leaving them desperately understocked....um

Right about that one Inguma!
 I haven´t up to this day seen any ("famous" that is) mystic or munk or someone "openly" very spiritually engaged individual with their hair short, parted in the middle (mittbena)....
 Either bald, or long hair (often accompanied with a pretty awesome beard) seems to be the thing...  I guess it is much because neither needs to be conditioned so often, no time wasting fixing the hair and stuff..

  Wouldn´t the Dalai Lama look cool on shoulder long hair and a massive beard!!?´   Now that´d be a sight...

Certain trends like that often make you wonder.  And the Bible character was Samson, it think.  Yes his hair was his strength.    But the hair nor hair thing often reverts back to being more connected.  I have determined that there aer basic to character types for religion in general.  You have your free spirit wanderer types, Jesus and the like.  And you have your truth seeking enlightenment kind, the Dalai Lamma and others.   You have the long hair type who orginally spent most of thier time outside civilazation and the bald ones who spent most of their time in the middle of it.
It is an interesting thing to look at.

Henrik Larrson, one of Swedens top 3 footballers, famous for his long dreadlocks, shaved his head some time ago, and he then scored goals like ever before...  so not everybody is like Samson in that field..

 David, I get that impression to somehow, wandering "types" (just for example fiction figure Caine, the kung fu legend) have long hair, and people who isn´t so "wandery" like for example munks, often spending most of their times around a monastery (right word?) wears...  yea you guessed it, no hair..   pretty neat....  or couse the ones who stay put perhaps have easier access to shaving gear........ ;)

I let my hair grow 1 week, sometimes 2 before cutting again with "clippers" is the word some was looking for earlier; i.e. "the machine".  The longer your hair grows the eaisier to get it shaved down again.

As for climate, I live in the south-western most point of the US, San Diego California, where it is summer-like weather all year round, perfect for the shaved head. Living in this part of the US definitly has it's perks as far as the female scene goes. Believe me when I say, your heads would spin.

Yes and it spins more freely with out the hair!

And one more thing...For those of us who have the doo, or rather lack there of.  How many people do you know that just like to touch it cause it's bald?

I actually had some one lick my melon after a fresh shave just so they could say they've done it.  But he has always been really wierd.  Yes HE.  It's a long story.  But lots of people just like to touch it.

And besides, I'm just getting a jump start on nature.

 May be David, BUT, we who have long hair can check out the honnies behind our hair without being noticed.....  ;)   I guess everything has a front and a backside..

Bhikku, believe me when I say it is like that in Sweden also, head spinning I mean... but unlike San Diego California only for 3 months tops...  then it is back to cooler climate.. =([

I have never had my head shaved bald before, but I have had a bur (spelling??), you know just about down to stubble. Well everyone wanted to touch my head then. I sure did not mind all the girls touching it. Now I have long hair and it has its advantages as well, one already stated. Something weird I have noticed but I cannot headbang, not like I do it much anyway, with short hair. I get a headache if I do. But with long hair I experience no ill effects. Go figure. Seems girls are rather fond of long hair in my area. Unfortunately no one seems to want to touch it like they do with bald heads.

Since this has pretty much gotten off the original question I am going to ask something. What do you think of bald chics? On certain girls I think it is very sexy.

Well fallnangel77, if anywhere a topic goes off-topic it´d logically be here on the Astral Chat ey´...   of course all appearances has their charm, but for me, from a "pure physically attraction" perspective - a bald lady wouldn´t do it, plain and simple... (unless I was in love with the girl of course, then it wouldn´t matter)
If I could help it, my lady wouldn´t look like a marine....  unless her name was G.I. Jane of course, then she could have had no hair, hell, from the "p.p.a." perspective I mentioned a few lines up, she would do fine with no head... lol..
that body of hers is good enough...  (hoping no ladies read this;)

 Afterall, hair is pretty much only "dead substance"...........

As far as women who shave thier heads....I is definatly a case by case issue.  Some look okay, other great, and yet still others need a bag.  This is however the case with anyone who is bald.  Granted some can not help the fact but still.   Luckily the Dr. did a good job when pulling me out and I did not end up with a mis-shapened head.  But some people just shouldn't go there at all.  It is kinda sad to see some one who is skinny up top with a funny looking head.   I only hope that my brain case doesn't get funny looking with age.


Side note-- Anybody else notice how many different terms or phrases have been used for hair/no hair?

And for me personally I do not say anything that I would not say in public out loud.  

And well ask any woman if she takes what any man says fully to heart.  This being only that women know us better than we know them and most understand that we often can not help being the beasts that we are.

I shave my head with clippers on about a No.2 blade & I would like to
think that there is some advantage to it,but probably isn't.It's funny how
times change & people are accepting more & more the fact that regardless of
what you look like,it's what's inside that counts.Only ten years ago a shaved
head in the western world was labeled a "skinhead" or "Nazi",now it's part
of our culture & more increasingly you see artists,musicians,movie stars &
anyone photographed in general have bald or shaved heads.Whereas 20
years ago & still now to a certain extent,images you see generally concentrate on the subjects youthfullness & typically feature someone who
has perfect hair,skin,teeth so that it is more acceptable & those viewing it can escape into a fantasy that appeals to our subconcious.

It's not that there  is a lack of hairless successful people,rather a lack of belief on the publics part  that people who are not photogenic can be successful.People don't like to have on their wall at home a picture of a guy
with a head like a robbers dog or yoda, it's what sells that counts.

BTW like I said,I shave,but it's mainly because i've become er...........ah........................er,er,ahh,er,um.......................follically challenged &
my friends say that I look like I'm either the edge's brother (from U2) or
Bruce Willis's son,thanks........thanks heaps! I 'll have to get the chrome polish out again.

Hey Bhikku,I don't know about mellon heads,mines more like the moon (a huge crater in it too,but not the shape) & looks like it's taken more hits than the Beatles,hehe

I do not think that anyone meant to offend any ladies. I did not. I have respect for everyone, male and female. But the truth of the matter is that everyone looks at people and makes some kind of opinion on their physical appear if nothing other than if they find their appearance appealing or not. Now you cannot tell me that women do not look at men as just objects at times. I grew up with 3 sisters and have had lots of female friends in my life. Women can be just as bad, if not worse, than men when it comes to making opinions on appearance. But if some took offense from my post then I apologize for any crudeness one my find in the word chic.

Now my question was not just intended for a male response. I would like to hear the opinions of the woman. What is your thoughts on woman with shaved heads?

Title: Bald?
Post by: distant bell on April 25, 2002, 05:34:01
I agree, I kow that woman are just as bad as men. In some cases I think woman actually are wors then men.. but i dunno..
But I guess it was all in a joking kind of spirit that all post where written.

But, just the same- we probably should wath our mouths a bit :)

I think that we man have to accept woman shaving there heads if we want them to accept us to shave our heads..  (I don´t . by the way)
And woman have to accept that we men use makeup, if they whant us to accept that they where makeup!  (lol :)

I really don´t get that whole make up thing... after al why? why bother spending the whole morning painting the face? But I guess as long as I don´t have to do it I shouldn´t care..

But why do you woman think that you HAVE to use makeup?



-- Love is the Law - Love under Will --
Title: Bald?
Post by: WalkerInTheWoods on April 25, 2002, 07:04:27
I am not crazy about women who wear make up. Not that I am saying they shouldn't, to each their own. I just enjoy a woman's natural beauty, especially if we are to be in an intimate relationship. If I am going to be kissing my woman I want to kiss her, not makeup. I have seen a lot of women who don't know how to use makeup properly and they just seem to cake it on so that you cannot see their real face at all. I do not know how it is in Sweden, but it has a lot to do with our culture. Here in the US, everything seems to have to do with how we look, and we all seem to have to look like those people on tv and in magazines. Those people seem to be getting "more prefect" all the time. Luckily not everyone is into this thing but a lot of people are. I have found that if I worry less about how I look in fitting into a certain model and just be myself I am a lot happier. If people would do this they might find themselves a lot happier as well. So if makeup is for you then great, if not great. I think I had some kind of point to make in favor of not using make up but it got lost somewhere. Oh well, I prefer the natural look if that means anything to anyone, which I am sure it does not so I will shut up now.

But of course there are limits, I don´t think we broke them though did we?  

Distant Bell, be careful so you don´t reveal all swedish men... we wearing make-up and all.... ;)

Fallnangel77, it is the same sit in sweden, looks seems to occupy many peoples life to a very large degree... I think that goes for most of the world, at least the parts most "polluted" with TV and Magazines of some sorts.. and lets face it, even if we like it or not, most stuff "invented" in the good old US of A sooner or later, more often sooner, travels over seas.......

Just a couple of very quick points:

First, I don't mind women looking at men like that and so don't see much wrong in it going the other way round!
Except that polarising into good looking necessarily (at least to some extent) means you also have to classify "bad looking" which is usually bad, as it leads on to emotional and mental negativity (judging?)
But then there will always be some basic instintual drives to seek the sweet ones out , even if what is "attractive" is entirely variable (just look at ancient pictures and statues....). Trends change.

You know one of the reasons I continue to shave my head is because I know I am not one of those people of TV.  I am not a movie star.  I am ME.  And personally I don't care what anyone else thinks of me because it won't change my opinion of myself.  Ofcorse this could be why I am still single.  But who cares?  I don't, sometimes, but not normally.  It is life, I am here, why just go with the flow?  Why not stand out and be counted?  YELL AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!!!!

It is not the action or lack of that decides who you are but rather it is the reason.  Like shaving my head.  I didn't do it to be cool or even different.  It was just because.  You know I felt like it.  It was amusing.  It was a "what if" actually played out.  Done mirly for the Gits and SHiggles of it.
If you do something because everyone else is than you are not being yourself, you are being them, or trying to be.

Lately I have had the madest desire to cut my hair relly short, I almoust bought on of those clippers the other day. I have started to feel that getting rid of the hair would do me good spiritually! I don´t know if this is a true thing, or if it´s just a whim..  But It really feels like getting the hair down to a few milimeters would do wounders for my spiritual life. But then I don´t know how beautiful it would be... and if it really would help.

Distante la bello amigo Felix (already starting my spanish practicing) -
 I´ve had those impulses a few times to, BUT, everytime I pictured myself bald.. well.... hahaa..  you see, I have this big crater up on my head (ot visible under all hair though), I could probably without any greater problems balance an egg or two up there.... ;)
 I am afraid, with no hair, if it were to start raining, fishes would swim up there...  or I´ll drown..  or I´m just exaggerating.......  *s'    anyway, I think I would look dangerous without any hair...

All I can say is that I hope that hairloss is not really hereditary, because things are looking bad for me.

Samson, that's kinda funny.  Not making fun but it is just ironic and all.

Hereditary......It looks that way for me too.  But from a scientific stand point this may help.  The hair gene is actually more dominantly passed from the female side of the family.  Hence also so the addage that baldness skips a generation.  

Also a question.  What is Veni Vidi Vici?

This weekend I kind of shaved, or atleast got it down to a few mm. I have long hair and I trimmed the bottom half of my head down. The top is still long. I mostly did this because I like to keep something unique about myself and after looking at other people for the past few days I have noticed that almost all males below the age of 30 have shaved heads. I just could not stand it to look like everyone else. I am not sure if this is just what is in right now or if every one is getting these feelings to shave their head. And you know it is amazing how much hair you can have and not even know it. My head feels lighter now.

Distant bell, if you are feeling like trimming your head go for it. If you do not like it it will always grow back. Plus I find that chance can be good, can make you feel refreshed even if it is just shaving your head.

Yeah Im kinda kicken around the whole shaving my head idea (dispite my surname). I guess the bigest thing in my way is not knowing if it will make me look funny. Im used to my current haircut but I guess it is not exactly 'professional'. And Im going for a big adult job next year.

David, I can answer you on your lil Q there, Veni Vidi Vici, I think it was  Ceasar who once stated that, anyway, as far as I know it means; "I came, I saw, I won (or conquered perhaps?)"...   My ´punk´ band back in the days was named that, one of the guys came up with it, and that was his translation of it anyways...

 Speaking of hairloss, sure it is heriditary, but us loosing hair today is also much thx to all the s**t we are putting in our hair more or less every day, I´m talking shampoo here...   it really isn´t all that good as one might think..  at least not 95% of the ones out there, go check on your shampoo bottle for ingredients, if there is soidum laural sulfate, or even worse sodium laureth sulfate in the bottle - well, if you wanna have hair for a long time you may wanna buy a new shampoo.....   even if you don´t want hair, it is advisable to not use a shampoo with that stuff in it....  what I have understood the very small molecuels in those substances can go through the top of the head skin and into the cells and do all sorts of creepy things, cause mutations and other pleasant stuff (breaks down proten amongst other, and well, hair is made up largely by protein I guess) - and this I have learned from a very skilled and reknown....     ...well don´t know her "title" but she knows what she´s talking about - cosmetics and shite, yuk!!   If you knew half of it...  

   Be well //Qui-Gon

You´re right, most deodorants isn´t very healthy either...  there are natural alternatives though, I read about some sort of rock you ´put on´, haven´t tried it but sounded like an idea..

  You heard about fruitarians? People who only eat fruits and nuts and stuff that plants and trees give off, I heard an interview some months ago on radio with one of swedens around 50 fruitarians I think it was, and he said he and his family who all were fruitarians, didn´t use shampoo, didn´t use tooth paste, and some other stuff.... he said the hair got used to not being shampoed and after a while got back to a sort of a prime state, guess the diet helps to...  and tooth paste, hadn´t used it for years - and hadn´t had one single problem, not a hole, since he give that up (used a tooth brust though)......   I don´t know..   but you know, they didn´t have these sort of stuff thousands of years ago -and well they seemed to manage just fine...  and todays human being can not have changed that much from a "biological make-up" perspective....   of course people think they need it, but then again, those industries (cosmetic and the likes) are massive and when it comes to big $$$, there will be big $$$ put in to the "propaganda"...   don´t get me wrong, keeping a good hygiene is important, but it can easily go to far in terms of using all sorts of products out there...

   Take care //Qui-Gon

I don´t know.. but you know, they didn´t have these sort of stuff thousands of years ago -and well they seemed to manage just fine...

People also only lived until they were 30.  If they were lucky.

Also most head gear is not good either.  But its a minor thing.  They don't allow your head to breath as good and can cause the creeping forehead.

I used to have a mo-hawk for a long time.  I actually works very well for me.  I never did the spiky thing though.

Actaully. I´m not so certain about this.. the people who reached adult age ususlly lived pretty long . It is the larg number of child deaths that gets the statistics down.. and today we have wery few child deaths, thus the avarage age of people seems higer. Yes, there have been times when people usually died at thirty- but there have also been times when people lived long and healthy lifes...

by, the way- there are many tribes today that live like people lived thousand of years ago.. and they live long healthy lives. Look at the aborigines in australia or the natives of the amazonas...

Just some food for the thought!

Yes people have gotten a long just fine for a long time without all this crap we have now. It is for the most part propaganda. But they are also helpful too. The problem is that the industry wants you to use more than is needed so you will buy more. I remember watching something on tv that said that toothpaste used to have just a little tiny slot for the paste to come out but now they have big holes. Also if you read on the box it says to just use a tiny pee sized amount on your toothbrush but in the comericials they put it all over the top of the brush. Which do you think people are going to do, if they even read the box, or are they going to do what they see on tv everyday. I have heard the shampoo thing alot before. Think about it, how long have humans gone without using shampoo. Hygene is important, but I think it is not needed as much as we are lead to believe today.

This is true but they are also living out in nature and there for are not exposed to the same things as those living in a city.  This also applied to the past.  Yes the people living largly out side of towns did just fine but the larger group of people who lived in the cities and towns had a much higher fatality rate at all ages.   The more people and buildings you put in one spot generally lowers the life expectancy to a certain point.  The primary way around this is fresh water and proper sewage and agrbage removale.  These were the leading causes of deaths back then.  Rubbage and refuse tossed in the streets because people had not place else to throw it.  Also the lack of "fresh" water was a problem.  Wells are great and all but you have to be carefull what gets tossed into them as well.  Today we, in the cities, use technology to minimize desieses.  People who live out side of towns and cities learn to take care of this on thier own.  If they don't they die, and those that get left behind learn the lesson.

An odd question mirly for amusement and philisophical disscusion.

Bald or not bald.

Does one give you better "reception"?

I have noticed slightly improved "reception" and or clearer controll over certain things.    It sounds odd but it is however true.  I used to have long hair but it as been getting gradually shorter and now I am at a point of taking a Bic to every couple of days.  

So is there any truth to it?  Or is it phsycological?  

How many people shave thier heads?  Or pull thier hair pack when working on Psi?
