Very interesting article. Thanks.
I do believe there is something mysterious about long grown hair.
But I also noticed that yogis with long hair are not per definition more intuitive and vital than monks with shaved heads.

ive never understood why monks shave their heads...if a full head of hair reflects the ego, then that goes against the 'not thinking about the desire to let go of the ego'...sort of contradicts things abit...or the whole philosophy if you look at it the other way...

seems like there is abit 'control' in that area and resistance of a resistance lol...
