How The US Army Discovered that Long Hair can Increase your Wisdom and Intuition.

An Esoteric Thread for Men.
Throughout history long hair has had a spiritual significance amongst various cultures.

Long hair is often associated with wisdom, divine intuition, and strength.

It's no coincidence that the men of history with the most wisdom and strength are shown to have had long hair.
The story I'm going to share is going to be considered a 'myth' or 'urban-legend' by some.

I choose to believe it's real, because I choose to live as though the world is still full of mysticism and wonder.

(Because it is)

Now onto the story.
The story starts back in the Vietnam War.

The Army Special Forces was looking for expert trackers and survivalists to assist with the war effort in the jungle.

The Vietnamese style of Guerilla warfare was something that hadn't been encountered in traditional warfare before.
The Army was stumped on how to counter it, so they began to look for answers in unusual places.

Native American tribes have been renowned throughout history for their tracking and survival abilities.

Some have even described these abilities as 'Supernatural.'
The Army caught wind of this lore and began to recruit the best of the best Native American scouts and trackers from the reservations across the United States.

Once they enlisted, they went through basic training and standard Army protocols.
One of the protocols that all Army recruits must go through is, of course, to shave their heads.

So per the protocol, the Native American scouts shaved their hair, which in most cases had never even been cut or trimmed before.
Then, something miraculous happened.

The highly-touted supernatural tracking and scouting abilities of the Native American recruits...

They disappeared.

The recruits failed to perform in the field, time and time again.
The Army began to test different theories with new recruits, letting some of the recruits keep their long hair while others shaved.

The long-haired recruits continued to outperform the shaved-head recruits time and time again.
It's almost as though their hair was an extension of their Nervous System.

An antenna, giving them access to a subtle but crucial sixth sense.

After these discoveries, the Native American trackers were exempt from shaving their heads upon recruitment.
This story supposedly came from the wife of a psychologist who worked in the VA Medical Hospital.

He was generally a conservative, well-groomed man.

According to his wife, after discovering these semi-classified Army documents he never cut his hair or shaved his beard again.
Since learning of this story and reading other esoteric theories regarding long hair, I've been experimenting myself, doing a *little* flowmaxxing.

Still have quite a ways to go before my sixth sense starts to kick in!

What are your thoughts?

Are you going to write it of as an Urban Legend?

Or is it possible that our hair gives us extrasensory capabilities that have been lost and forgotten with time?

How To Climb Out of Your Rock Bottom.

A Thread.
I'll never forget how I felt when I took the picture on the left.

I was completely lost, abusing drugs to cope with my chronic pain and lack of purpose, living life at my rock bottom.

I was looking in the mirror and realized I didn't even recognize who I was looking at.
It was is this exact moment that I decided I was going to change.

To become the Man i was meant to be.

In this thread we'll take a look at what got me there, how I climbed out of my rock bottom, where I am now, and my plans for the future.

The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is in the Dose.

19 Excerpts from the book "Heal Yourself with Sunlight" by Andreas Moritz

That Shatter the Mainstream Narrative about the Sun.
We've all heard the following:

"Put on your sunscreen, you're going to get burned!"

"Be careful with too much sun exposure - you'll get skin cancer!"

"The sun is dangerous!"

While well intentioned, are these tidbits of advice from mom actually true?
Turns out they may not be.

"Heal Yourself with Sunlight" by Andreas Moritz was an eye-opening read for me. I learned about the beneficial healing power of sunlight, the dangers of sunscreen, and much much more.

Let's dive in.

If you are worried about mercury toxicity from seafood consumption, consider this:

Selenium has a high affinity to bind to Mercury.

When this happens, it forms a new substance, making it harder for the body to absorb mercury separately.

And which foods are highest in Selenium?
You guessed it, SEAFOOD!

16 of the top 25 dietary sources of Selenium are ocean fish.

Eating seafood is completely safe, and much safer than not eating seafood.

Nature wins yet again.
