With women, ...From Beetroot to Buddhism, continued:<br />With women, cutting the hair short is not exactly good, and that is because women have the ability to produce silica more in the organism, and so they should not cut the hair really short too often; for then the hair absorbs silica - which the woman already has in her - from the air, and forces it back into the organism.. This makes the woman inwardly hairy, prickly; she then has ‘hairs on her teeth’ [German saying, meaning tough woman]. This is then something that is not so apparent; one has to have a certain sensitivity to notice it, but a little bit of it is there. Their whole manner is rather prickly then; they become inwardly hairy and prickly; and cutting one’s hair off does then have an influence, especially in young people. <br /><br />Now you see, it can also be the other way round, gentlemen. It may be that modern youngsters come into an environment - children are all quite different today from the way we were in our young days - where their inner silica is no longer enough, for they want to be a bit prickly, scratchy. Then they develop the instinct to cut their hair. This becomes fashionable, with one copying the other, and then we have the story the other way round, with children wanting to be prickly and having their hair cut. But if one managed to organise things so that they went a bit against such a fashion, this would not be such a bad thing if the fashion has gone a bit to extremes. in the final instance it all has to do with this, does it not - one person likes a gentle woman, another a prickly one. Tastes do change a little. But it cannot have a very great influence. Though of course if someone has a daughter who wants to or is supposed to choose a husband who likes a prickly woman, then she should get her hair cut. She then won’t get a husband who likes a gentle woman. So that may indeed happen. So the business has more of an effect on things that are marginal in life. <br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-40418726448386110862017-10-10T09:55:16.653+11:002017-10-10T09:55:16.653+11:00 From Beetroot to Buddhism:

My little daughter would also like to cut her hair, but I have not permitted it. I’d like to know if it is harmful or not.”<br /><br />Rudolf Steiner: Well now, the matter is like this. The hair that grows is so little connected with the organism as a whole that it does not really matter very much if one lets one’s hair grow or cuts it short. The harm is not enough to be apparent. But there is a difference between men and women in this respect. You know, for a time it was the case - it’s no longer the case now - that one would see anthroposophists walking about, gentlemen and ladies - the gentleman would not cut his hair, wearing long tresses, and the ladies would have their hair cut short. People would of course say: ‘Anthroposophy turns the world upside down; among the anthroposophists the ladies cut their hair short and the gentlemen let theirs grow.’<br />Now it is no longer like this, at least not noticeably so. But we might of course also ask how it is with the difference between the sexes when it comes to cutting one’s hair.<br />Generally speaking the situation is that a great head of hair is rather superfluous in men. For women it is a necessity. Hair always contains sulphur, iron, silica and some other substances. These are needed by the organism. Men need much silica, for as they assumed the male sex in the womb they lost the ability to produce their own silica. They absorb the silica that is in the air whenever they have just had their hair cut, absorbing it through the hair. it is of course too bad when the hair has gone, for then nothing can be absorbed. Going bald at an early age, which has a little bit to do with people’s lifestyles, is not exactly the best thing for a person.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-54700276642225562432016-08-31T09:21:53.129+10:002016-08-31T09:21:53.129+10:00"Red heads were known in ancient Egypt as we ..."Red heads were known in ancient Egypt as we know from Plutarch. They were associated with the Cult of the God Set, which early Egyptians such as Apion identified as being the God of Israel. Moreover King David was of an Edomite tribe being descended from Caleb; compare the genealogy in Chronicles and Kings of Salma. Note that edom means red. There was therefore a Jewish tradition that King David had red hair which is mentioned in the Talmud. Finally ancient Catholic tradition holds that the earliest portraits of Jesus and Mary were painted by Saint Luke and the earliest known copies of these images show both Jesus & Mary as having reddish brown hair. See also the discussion by Graves, “In King Jesus” which although a novel is based on serious scholarship. Reddish brown hair colour is also mentioned in the Apocryphal Letter of King Agabas of Edessa which is based on early sources."<br />- from a scholar's notes Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-13220405276031459282014-03-07T14:32:05.737+11:002014-03-07T14:32:05.737+11:00"Strange as it may sound, in our hair we have...<br />"Strange as it may sound, in our hair we have a relic of certain rays<br />by which the sun-forces were once instilled into man. What the sun in<br />earlier times thus instilled into man was something living . . . in<br />ancient times it might have been quite possible, by leaving the hair<br />uncut, to receive certain forces into one's being."<br />-Rudolf Steiner<br /><br />We know of the Buddhist and Christian monks who have shaved heads.<br />This tradition differed with the East and West in Christianity:<br />"The monks and clerics of the Eastern Church have retained the<br />Nazirite rule not to shave their hair to this day, whereas in the<br />Western Church monks and priests join in the Korah tradition with<br />their rule of tonsure. This is why Orthodox monks retained for a long<br />time a cosmic, visionary strain in their religious devotion, whereas<br />the Roman monastic orders early made themselves bearers of the<br />intellectual development of culture."<br /><br />Moses, Emil Bock<br /><br />The rule against hair-cutting in the Nazirites aided their seership.<br /><br />"The wearing of long hair served the same goal, for at that time it<br />was still a means against the hardening of the human organism."<br /><br />-Bock<br /><br />Opposite to the Nazirites there was the tribe of Korah, which<br />means "bald-headed".<br /><br />"In the configuration of the people of Israel, members of the company<br />of Korah were quite the opposite of the Nazirites. Korah means 'bald-<br />head'. Just as the long hair was an expression of their spiritual<br />aims among the Nazirites, so was the tonsure-like shaved head among<br />the people of Korah, who also formed a kind of order or lodge. The<br />Nazirites sought to preserve the link with the pure sun-forces that<br />enkindled seership in the human being.<br /><br />The people of Korah had an extreme, modern disposition; and the<br />intellectual hardening of the human being, the organism that is<br />emancipated from the cosmos and has become a mirror apparatus for<br />thoughts, was the principle of their endeavours."<br /><br />-Bock<br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-54853473577904499022011-12-09T09:09:59.261+11:002011-12-09T09:09:59.261+11:00http://www.sott.net/articles/show/234783-The-Truth...http://www.sott.net/articles/show/234783-The-Truth-About-Hair-and-Why-Indians-Would-Keep-Their-Hair-LongMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.com
