mandy, you know ram dass don't you? i think i remember you talking about him...anyways bhagavan dass was ram dass' teacher in india. and i doubt bhagavan dass gets piss drunk and hangs out with dudes that would shave people's head while they sleep. :cheers2:
NP: yes Im familiar with Ram Daas and I just did a search on Bhagavan Daas [thanks for the info] and I am now completely sure that the OP is full of it! lol
honestly, i couldnt sleep the other night, and was pagin through this thread, and decided i really cant stand the op, so then i googled him, and the first thing that pops up is him talking about drinking pee, then i did some more searching and realized that everybody in every thing he posts in thinks he is a doucher, not just me. and most of the spiritual related threads he is in, people generally get hostile to him and question his motives. anyway, i had a point to this post, not just to rant about how sketched out the OP makes me feel..... my point is (directed to the op) i dont think people diss you for your dreads, i think they just kind of diss you. maybe due to your attitude to them, or your attitude to life in general. take a tip from your spirituality and free your mind from the slavery of others. if you dont care, then what they tell you wont hurt your feelings. thats all you really have to know when it comes to taking shit about your hair, when you have a nest on your head, eventually somebody is not going to like it..... deal with it or cut
Aren't other people the ones that technically have alternative looks because if you don't do anything at all you'll get dreads?
I live in a total hippie land so I actually haven't had anyone respond negatively to my hair. Around here you get weird looks if you DON'T have dreads!
this kid at the rehab i went to always gave me shit about my dreads and always asked why i had them, so i asked him why he had a shaved head. his answer? "cuz, you see more ppl with shaved heads then dreads" i laughed at his statement and proved my point. what a d bag. I WANNA BE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!
annddddd to the grandma statements- my grandma gives me shit alllll the fucking time!! She says she'll pay me to cut my hair! I absolutley love it, how pissed ppl get over hair, it makes my shalala tingle a little bit and i thnk ive gotten more positive comments then negative, and a lot of "can i touch them?!?" and every time i wish it wasnt my hair they were speaking of... :\ Ahoy.
i just learned that 'op' is me anyway, i make no attempt to hide my bizarre and freakish nature and i dont think anyone shaves their head for fun also, Bhagavan Das, who brought Ram Das to his guru, yes, he was not his teacher, he was the man who brought many to the guru, wrote in his OWN book about getting his dreads and beard cut by the buddhist. But I appreciate your attempt to deny what I wrote. Im not a liar and I dont make shit up like that. but I dont really care how many people on this forum hate or love me i can only say I prefer love, and pray for peace and compassion between everyone, for whatever thats worth and yea, I drink my own pee its because im a fucking genius and cant help it its like having a plague follow you around everywhere you go piss drinking has been practiced for thousands of years its been proven by thousands and thousands of medical studies to cure almost anything its so fucking potent its illegal to publish about it in the united states the books I have on it are all from europe etc, and its ALL over the web some of you are so fucking ignorant it hurts, but i assure you, awareness hurts more there's probably horse piss, 'urea', in your shampoo(i didnt believe it at first either), or maybe you take horse hormones from pee? anyway most of you dont have the slightest fucking clue about whats going on I dont care what you think you know some of you do know, though an if you were focused enough to look into my history, well, im sure youre going to have a lot more to look into now anyway i admit i love ya'll and I dont judge you and I accept you
how can you say you dont judge people after a post calling people ignorent and ranting on about how you are better and more informed then everybody else? about the pee thing, i was being funny. (and half wanted to hear you defend it, though not for comedic purposes on that i just wanted a quick list of reasoning because whilei understand it, i do not understand the ability to ACTUALLY drink it) but i understand why you do it. i understand the benifits and all the positives, i just wouldn't ever do it. i get everything i need through a fairly good diet, exorcise and positive people. as far as pee goes, you can put a flower in a pile of crap, but when it comes time to eat it, its still a pile of crap. anyway, dont take any of what i say seriously, i talk a lot and most of what i say you can put a flower in......
I get so much shit for my hair where I live. It's mostly mexicans [no offense] and well....just not-so-smart people. Apparently, nobody in Arizona knew you could wash dreadlocks.
I dont wash my dreadlocks I just go swim in the ocean also, ya'll can stop pickin on me for being a mite crazy, we 'spiritually evolved' individuals usually portray all manner of insane behavior here I am: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJIIwJKYw0o"]YouTube- FILE0007.MOV
but i dont really wash myself or even brush my teeth so fuck everything in the manner of control and hypnotism i sortuh loose it when i get antagonized its a relic of the past, being a social outcast that was antagonized and belittled all through JH and HS will fuck someone up in the head- ive been deprogramming myself for 9 years whatevers left isnt really fucking human anymore all i can say is im a yogi and if that means im crazy I am look it up- youl find out 'kundalini yoga' can induce psychosis its all a terrible joke and im a vegan because i dont believe in hurting and harming innocent creatures you can imagine though i have no real issue with meriting out punishment and pain and death where its deserved i dont abide by religious and spiritual laws I am allah unto myself, seen being a vegan or a vegetarian isnt about being a pacifist or a pussy its about being a killuh of killuhs hmm, same philosophy as america!!
Haha. Did he just really revive a thread from October to explain yourself? I might as well get some good necro lovn' in myself Regarding the original question: I've never had negative comments on my hair. Regarding the story: Who cares if the story is real, it's a good illustration of attachment. The Buddhist would be doing the sadhu a favour. Sidenote: Spell check doesn't understand sadhu - it suggests sadist. That made me chuckle.
