and having perfected the lessons of Earth, they'd be able to give up this physical body as well!

But now we're talking more than *needing* the perfection of matter-That's just the beginning, and not something to get too caught in.  It can be its own self-aggrandizing and self-limiting trap.


antennae -- must be hair's higher purpose, while still being in this world... :-)

but this would only be only 'true' for those who can rise to that level of awareness. (Pun intended. ) Others may  just become hairless as a natural response to no longer needing these pathways for toxins to exit--not all is as it looks!
for surely skin too--which normally releases lots of waste--can run the gamut from really putrid ( in working overtime)
to something beyond any radiance that can be manipulated or fabricated. Something un-earthly.

The shaved heads of monks, while being more sanitary and easy to maintain, en masse, and less 'sensual', are also moving closer to NOT needing such physical antennae--the perfection of 'form' is not  the monk's path. Thus they have access to other antennae, to attune to other levels they 're working at, and from. Of course monks ( and nuns) are just regular people with all the foibles unless they develop some real proficiency in the practices and devotions and move beyond even these boundaries through greater and greater realization.

*perspective* is everything
