I don't know how valid this is, but I thought it was interesting. Take it for what it is.

Hi Michael,
I'd love to read the article; but unfortunately, I'm one of those computer-stupid people that need a link to click on in order to go to another website to read or look at something that's not posted directly here...
If you or anyone else happens to know how to do that for me, I thank you profusely in advance!

What an amazing read, Michael, thanks so much for sharing this article here!
I have heard a few of these thoughts stated before (in previously written articles and comments), and always find both the theories and experiences fascinating -- and personally believe a lot of it has truth to it.
I'm not so sure about the "antenna" philosophy, that theory is hard to swallow (at least from a literal perspective); but I have read about the US Government study re. Native American Indians losing their intuitive and tracking powers once they receive a military-style short haircut. Heck, I've NEVER felt like "myself" either when I was forced into those awful haircuts back when I was a kid (my dad was formerly in the US Navy during WW2, and made me and my brothers have mandatory buzz-cuts every summer when we were kids); so how could anyone who previously has had long hair all of their life suddenly feel "normal" after their hair has all been shaved off?
Thanks again for sharing this article, Michael, I enjoyed every minute of reading it, and believe there is a lot of great information and valuable thoughts to consider in there.
