Haircut - Just One thing

We, no doubt are all aware of the story of Samson and Delilah, where Delilah betrays Samson and sends her minions to cut his hair in the middle of the night while he slept. The reason being is that Samson was a Nazirite, and the belief for Nazarites is that they are devoted to religion and this devotion separates them from all others. There was and is a number of rules that Nazarites live by to keep their purity with god and their religion, one of these is that at no time should any hair be shaved as this would drain any strength they had and make them become like all others.

Samson was purported to have strength that was inhuman, stories of slaying Lions and whole battalions of soldiers. However I believe that his strength was in his devotion and the path he had chosen. This seemed threatening to some. Samson was also starting to stray and drinking wine and seeing women which were a weakening of his spiritual devotion. Once Delilah betrayed Samson to the Philistines, Samson became weaker; his sorrow at having his devotion completely betrayed and his commitment and path altered was too much. The Philistines gouged out his eyes and threw him into a prison cell.

Samson’s hair grew back as he was human after all, this renewed his faith in his God as it was a sign that his own devotion was not lost and his spiritual; strength was returned.

Just as the prompt prompts, I need a Haircut, I have been thinking about a haircut for quite some time and keep putting it off, not because it’s hard to get into the Barber because I always do my own, usually a level 7 clipper and 10 minutes later it’s all gone.

It has just come into winter here and that means that a haircut will be felt for a few days, chilly air getting where it never used to be.

If I clip my hair then I don’t have to think about cutting it again for 3-4 months, which suits me fine as I am way past how I may look or should I have this style or that. Quite frankly as long as my hair is not annoying me then I am quite happy with it.

Now over the years I have had various different hairstyles, in fact, when I was in my late teens and twenties I had hair that went way down to the small of my back, always tied into a ponytail, as the less it was in my way the more I just forgot about it. I had it at this length for quite a lot of years, and then got it cut short.

Since that time I fluctuate between shaggy and short, I prefer short, but as I said above , winter is here and I am putting off cutting my hair for a for the moment.

There was a stage then I used to visit the barber and get my hair cut, there was always a queue waiting so I would duck my head in, see how many people were waiting and how many were cutting, make an estimate of time, and then make a decision as to wait or not wait. Often if I didn’t wait it would be a couple of weeks before I went again.

Unlike Samson, I am not superstitious or believing that I need to forego certain things to demonstrate my Spirituality. I can get a haircut, I can drink wine and eat grapes and this does not have an impact on my spiritual road.

Each individual’s journey is just that, it is between them and their God, It is a personal journey that no other can make judgement on.

Delilah and the Philistines showed Jealousy and Judgement on one man’s journey, saw there what was not and used it as a justification to direct and imply upon another.

Your hair is not your conduit for strength, if anything your knowledge that we are all on our own journeys and that your journey is of no concern of mine and vica verca is your strength, acceptance, sharing and compassion for others is the only strength you need to ensure your spiritual journey is yours.

5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

I tried to cut my own hair and it turned out not so good. Luckily it was not so noticeable to my employer on Zoom calls.
