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 Viet Nam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.
In the early nineties, Sally 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 Viet Nam 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 casualities 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 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 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."
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 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.

I am growing my hair out as well despite all the gray that is quickly showing up at the temples and in my beard.
Concerning the biblical story of Sampson and his hair, I seem to recall a passage in the bible that states something along the lines that long hair is an abomination to the lord. I leave it to the reader to ascertain the reason that this is part of scripture.

Obviously the abomination comment is added so that the book can be acceptable to the bible they put together from available texts because the governments needed to bring the people together under their control in some way by religion by omitting supposed objectional books instead of keeping every possible book for the finished bible.

where? I've never seen that in the Bible and I've read it many times. Jesus had long hair.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that with the hair just isn't true. American Indians were many nations and not just what the government tells you. Some with long hair. Some with short hair. Some were hunters and some agriculture type farmers. When someone who is from a tribe that wore their hair long was made to cut it, then boot camped long enough, that is what made the spirit weak. One can mold the spirit but if the spirit is broken then the person is broken. Cutting the hair merely weakened the spirit along with all the other indoctrination measures. Here is another tip while we're here. American Indians mostly smoked tobacco, not pot, though some tribes did do some "trips". Some believed in an all powerful God and some believed in many gods.
As for Sampson, it wasn't that his hair contained strength, it was that he was seduced to worldly pleasures and broke something that God said not to do. His hair was a covenant, and he broke it. No mystery there. Even the Gnostic Judaism beliefs that you gave a link to would agree to that I think.
Most of what is out there today is hogwash, and I'm including traditional dogma with that. Being part Cherokee I kind of take it personally when I see non American Indians tell us what we are suppose to be and not suppose to be, let alone believe. Smart people twist things so that many will snare. Be smarter. So the next thing you read telling you some "Indian fact", please, ask a real Indian and not what the system wants you to believe, and one from that tribe. It isn't our hair, color, or whatever that makes us good at harmonizing with nature, it's reverence for God's gift of grandmother earth and the creatures that does. Tracking is simply paying attention to usual things in usual places. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's taught.
Peace

How could I possibly know that? I certainly wasn't there and then. Delilah (דלילה – Dlila, Standard Hebrew meaning "[She who] weakened... must have been quite a sport, assuming she -and Samson- were real people and not mere metaphorical entities; in any case eleven hundred pieces of silver times the number of the Lords of the Philistines makes one wonder if her name's meaning refers to Samson or the Lords of the Philistines themselves.
I definitely agree with you in that "Natives" are far from being a single nation/tribe but as diverse a group as "Europeans". "Asians" or "Africans", though I must say that most "Native" tribes in the continent when referring to "Native Americans" will include those who lived and are living within the current boundaries of the United States along all those that settled anywhere between Alaska/Canada and Patagonia, after all modern boundaries are just that, MODERN divisions that didn't exist five hundred years ago. When it comes to hairstyle we do have clues in the paintings and sculptures left behind and in the still extant traditions of many tribes, indeed hairstyles ranged from Long hair to shaved / plucked heads / body hair, just because nor EVERY native / tribe used long hair does it mean there aren't long held traditions about its energetic properties not only in the American continent but in many other places as well, there are several links on this page leading to them.
If anyone reading this knows about other places/ times where this belief was held please feel free to contribute appropriate links.
However having lived many years among Native tribes throughout the continent, and having apprenticed with and taught several medicine women in barely assimilated tribes I doubt any American tribe used cannabis before Columbus, though some high ranking members of several tribes hold this to be very true, insisting the plant was present in the continent before Columbus showed up, it definitely was readily adopted and is used extensively to this day .
Natives used tobacco alright, though not the now common "Virginia" variety /strain /subspecies used in commercial cigarrettes but far stronger ones such as Picietl, one of the four main divining plants in Mesoamerica along with Peyotl, Teonanacatl, and Ololiuhqui though not as a habit as chain-smokers of today but for ceremonial/spiritual/healing/dreaming tools as were and ARE Poyomatli, Ayahuasca, Yahutli, Tzi tzi, Cempasuchitl, and Ska Pastora

Maria, I was told by an old friend of mine who was part Navajo that the shamans believed that the smoke was used to carry their prayers to the spirits...could you clarify on this please?
-

I am not familiar with Navajo lore but "smoke used to carry prayers" is a common theme linked to the use of incense (1) and the famous Calumet Pipe.
On the other hand Totonacs and Tepehuas in the central Mexican State of Veracruz use Tobacco Cigar or cigarette smoke as protection to scare away evil spirits

Wow, that is so cool you actually got to live with native americans and have first hand accounts of dailey activities, not everyone can attest to statements like that. I mean what turn of events lead to something like that? That sure must have changed your perspective from a standard stereotypical outlook most people have to what you believe now. I'm thinking of that Kevin Costner movie character, Stands with two fists.
