"When it goes down it becomes quiet. When it becomes quiet it will solidify. When it becomes solidified it will begin to sprout. After it has sprouted it will grow. As it grows it will be pulled back again. When it has been pulled back it will reach the crown of the head. Above, it will press against the crown of the head. Below it will press downwards. Whoever follows this will live; whoever acts contrary to it will die"

The Etheric Body

The Life-Force, the Water Element, and the Plant Kingdom

The Etheric Body is the body through which the energetic intelligence within us weaves and flows. This energetic intelligence is referred to as qi in Chinese Medicine, prana in Vedic Philosophy, Ki in Japanese, and mana in Hawaiian, to name a few. In English, it is known as the Life-Force, and dismissed by many as a pseudo-scientific relic of ancestral ignorance.

This Life-Force, which every culture has independently discovered and used to guide their healing practices, with the exception of our modern "advanced" one, is said to exist in us and all around us, networking through our body and outside to the world, in an intricate web. This network allows for the instantaneous communication between our glands, organs, tissues, digestion etc., as well as with nature, each other, and the grand design. It is also the "it" being referred to in the Twelve Pieces of Jade inscription quote at the top of this page, and may be the biggest key to identifying and counteracting the internal force that is responsible for Male Pattern Baldness (MPB).

Rising Qi

Based on the Twelve Pieces of Jade inscription, there is this thing in our body, "it", which moves up and down. And wherever it settles, it will press. Specifically, when "it" moves up to the head, then "it" will press against the crown. I find that very interesting based on the shapes of the skulls of these men:

It looks to me as though some "it" is pressing up against the crown of skulls of these men with advanced MPB. I think it's this "it" thing that the Jade Stones are talking about, aka the Life-Force, aka qi.

The Etheric Confusion Hypothesis

I want to conclude this page by describing in more detail an idea that I have been proposing throughout the website, which is that poor life-force flow to the hair follicle may explain the physiological phenomenon of hair miniaturization. I want to address it here because it involves the Etheric Body, needless to say, but also because it will add some more meaning and importance to the interventions described in this section.

BLOOD and LIFE-FORCE

As I have mentioned, whether they are mainstream or alternative, just about everyone out there believes that poor blood-flow is the cause of hair miniaturization. This is because increasing blood flow to the area of loss SOMETIMES revitalizes the hair follicles, by means of minoxidil, microneedling, massaging, red-light therapy, PRP, etc.. However, just because increasing blood-flow to the hair may have a positive effect, it doesn't mean that the problem is, therefore, lack of blood-flow. Furthermore, as I have also mentioned, this theory is not consistent with my own observation, experience, and inference. For example, I bleed significantly in the bald areas when I micro-needle, and the skin in bald areas of the scalp looks just as healthy (or unhealthy) as the skin in non-bald areas of the scalp. To me, that seems like an indication of normal blood-flow in bald areas.

My alternative theory, proposed on this page, explains the reason for the moderate success of blood-flow improvement interventions to be an increase in nutritive qi delivered to the hair. The relationship between blood and qi in TCM is complex, but my inclination is to believe that what nutritive qi can be delivered by means of the blood, or increased blood-flow, is fundamentally less robust than the nutritive qi that flows through the meridian network. Such would account for the weak potency of blood-flow interventions. It would also explain temporary success, as the increase in qi from the blood struggles to off-set the progressive reduction in qi flow through the meridians. And this reduction in flow through the meridian, I propose, is due to energetic confusion in the Etheric Body as a result of the erosion in the skull contours.

FLAWS IN DNA THEORY

The Etheric Body connection is likely to be dismissed on face value due to our modern understanding of how our body forms and operates. It has been reinforced in us, from even before we enter school, that the governing intelligence within us that forms us from sperm and egg into our fully human adult body is a vast protein code, a fixed architectural schematic of who we are to become, that is inherited from our parents, which are bodies then build us into, whether we like it or not. The sperm fertilizes the egg, the DNA starts transcribing mRNA, the ribosomes start translating the mRNA, and the whole thing (us) starts getting built. How and when those transcriptions start, nobody knows. Perhaps, somehow, an mRNA starter culture gets poured on that zygote to get it going, like it's a yogurt.

Now, I have not done nearly enough research to completely debunk modern cell biology. However, there are a few major flaws in the methods and reasoning that make me doubt the DNA to mRNA to usable proteins process, which I'll address here. For one, the guy who won the nobel prize for discovering the double helix, as part of his paper, ASSUMED a 36° angle of ascent, and a 10 base pair sequence before it changed direction again. So, it sounds like he didn't actually see DNA. No one having actually seen DNA aside, in regards to cell biology specifically, the only parts of the cell that are visible under a light microscope are the nucleus and mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticula and ribosomes, rather, the parts that would be necessary to perform the transcription to translation process, are only visible under an electron microscope, after the tissue that holds the cell has been butchered, chemically frozen, and metallically stained. Furthermore, the forms of the endoplasmic reticula and ribosomes resemble that of water fractures and gas bubbles, which is usually what you would expect to occur during the process of chemically freezing and metallically staining organic tissue. So, it's not really so clear that these ribosomes, which are weirdly named "rib of body" (along the lines of "atom" replacing "adam" in modern creation theory), and endoplasmic reticula actually exist.

One logistical problem with the operation, even if these cell parts actually exist, is that the endoplasmic reticula, longs tubes of which there are many in the cell, supposedly, somehow provide a door that lets large proteins out of the nucleus without letting small hydrogen atoms in, which would disturb the pH level, and pass these large proteins out while attached to both a stationary outer cell membrane and a ROTATING nucleus without ever getting tangled or stretch and break. Besides the tangling issue, in order to make the whole process work, there are Sec61 translocon complexes, golgi apparati, COPII-coated vesicles, hydrolyzed protein portals, and of course the ogglisaccharide transferase enzyme for the requisite glycolysis that's gonna happen. I don't think even a PhD in cellular biology could fully explain what's going on, nor do I think it's even possible to do so. It's a convoluted mess. Furthermore, all of this major equipment, energy expenditure, and complicated industrial process is just to get one little protein out that becomes a tiny piece of us that has be indexed from an extremely long and complicated architectural code of who we are at every stage of development. It's too complicated. If life were this complicated, and I don't think it is, then it wouldn't exist. I'm going to assume, rather, that life is much more simple.

EVERYTHING GROWS FROM SEED

Alternatively, I will assume that everything grows from seed by means of life-force. Again, this life-force is an energetic intelligence that modern science cannot measure, reproduce, or even understand. It flows through us and creates our Etheric Body, which is contained within the seed. It has the ability to sense and adapt. It knows exactly what to grow us into, and it knows exactly when to start. It grows our bones, our organs, skin, hair, blood, cartilage, cells, tissues, etc. all at the right times, in the right proportions, and in the right places. It doesn't make mistakes either. It's not going to a put an eyeball in your mouth, or an ear on your butt. Rather, it knows where to put everything, always, and with certainty and precision, all at the developmentally appropriate time. In addition, it brings it all to life as whole functional and integrative unit under it's seemingly infinite wisdom. Infinite wisdom, is the only way this life thing is going to work, not a golgi apparatus.

By this reasoning, the Etheric Body is smart enough know how and where to grow a hair. The top of the skull is where it knows to grow hair. It also knows to grow hair on the sides and back too. And, for some reason, it knows not grow hair on our foreheads. Humans do not grow hair on their foreheads. Even the hairiest of dudes out there can't grow hair in the middle of his forehead. The question is then, how does the Etheric Body define the part of our body known as our forehead?

THE DEFINITION OF A FOREHEAD

The Etheric Body must have some boundary where it defines the forehead to begin and end. The logical choice would be where there is a sharp change in direction that separates the two distinct areas. The forehead is fairly vertical, and the top of the skull is nearly parallel to the ground. Therefore, there should be an angle some where in between where the skull shape changes from vertical to flat. Not coincidentally, that place on our skulls, where there is this distinct directional change, is exactly where our hairlines grow.

I refer to the areas of sharp directional changes in the skull as our "contours". They are the boundaries that the Etheric Body uses to help distinguish between the different parts of the skull. When these contours are sharp, then the Etheric Body knows exactly where to grow hair on our head. However, when the contours are obscured through rounding and bulging in certain areas of the skull, then it creates Etheric "confusion", where the Etheric body no longer recognizes that area as an area of hair growth.

Look again and compare the following skull shapes that have been shown before. Ask yourself, if you were the Etheric Body, where would you put the hairline?

If the boy were completely hairless, I feel confident that I could figure out where to put his hairline. His forehead is so steep, and the direction changes so sharply, that the contour of his imaginative slick bald skull would be easy to identify. For the man, however, it's very confusing.

On a spherical head, towards which this man's skull shape is progressing, if not there already, the Etheric Body can no longer differentiate between the top of the skull, where hair grows, and the forehead, where it does not grow hair. My theory, is that the Etheric Body has reclassified parts of this man's skull, that were once considered to be "top of skull", to now be "forehead". From above the eyes to the top of his spherical head, that is now all "forehead". As a result, the Etheric Body no longer grows hair there.

Before I review what I think the Etheric Body does to grow or stop growing hair, I want to go over the receding hairline skull shape to give more of a visual on how hairline areas may be getting reclassified as forehead. This photo of Jude Law circa 2011, well illustrates why receded temples may be considered part of the forehead now. Pay close attention to the slope of the temples compared to the area where hair still grows.

For a part of the skull to be considered "top of skull" by the Etheric Body, it must be sufficiently flat. Based on my observations, it seems like it needs to be about flat enough to rest a little army man on top of it. I think I could rest an army man on the middle hair patch on Jude Law's hairline. But, unless he's got some sticky oily skin on those bald temples, I think a little army man is going to slide right off.

His temples are very sloped. They are so sloped that they are indistinguishable from forehead. How could something that sloped be considered the "top of the head"? And where is the contour? Where is the sharp border where his forehead ends and his top of skull begins? The answer is that it's still at his hairline, where the skull finally flattens out. Once you deviate left or right from that flat patch of hair in the middle of his head, then the skull shape changes direction and starts sloping steeply down his face. What's the definition of a forehead? - Where the skull starts sloping steeply down your face. So, it's not his hairline that has receded back; rather, it's his contour. The result being a perceived receded hairline.

Etheric confusion also explains why toddlers develop the exact same growth patterns as adult men with MPB. Simply, the skull boundaries have yet to be established, as a result of a similar type of bulging in the forehead region needed to accommodate significant cerebral growth and activity. And "Etheric confusion" may not be the best term for this phenomenon, because it implies that the Etheric Body is too dumb to know where to grow hair or not. I don't think that is so. Despite the contour "confusion", I still think that it makes sense for the Etheric Body to decide where to grow hair based on its defined parameters. Growing hair on the forehead of an expanded or non-expanded skull is grotesque. For example, it is easy to spot a man with a hair transplant, not because of poor surgical work, but because on a subconscious level we can perceive that the particular skull shape that we are looking at should not naturally support such a hair growth pattern. Furthermore, it is not the Etheric Body's fault that our skulls have expanded. That's a deeper issue that it has no control over. The life-force being pushed up against the the crown is merely the Etheric Body doing it's job by adapting and responding to events in the other bodies appropriately. The Etheric Body's greatest attribute is it's ability to adapt, and we wouldn't have life without that.

THE NEW FRONTIER FOR HAIR GROWTH

As I theorized earlier on this webpage, I suspect that when an area of the skull gets reclassified as forehead, then the Etheric Body will stop regrowing hair by shutting off or, more likely, by severely reducing the flow of life-force to the hair follicles in that region. This occurs through the qi meridians, which are not the same as blood vessels. Furthermore, I mentioned earlier in this section that the reason why blood flow stimulation strategies can work, but are inconsistent, produce moderate results, and require a lot of persistence and work, is because getting qi to an area via the blood is not efficient. It can be done, but I, being no expert in TCM, suspect qi flows through the meridians with much more vigor. At the very least, it's fighting against a deficit of qi that is no longer flowing to hair through the meridian network.

Therefore, in addition to re-contouring our skulls, which would establish those strong boundaries that help the Etheric Body define where we should grow hair, interventions aimed at restoring qi flow to areas of bald scalp, theoretically, have the greatest potential to regrow "lost" hair. Furthermore, the effort to reward ratio would far exceed anything that we could or have gotten from trying all day everyday to stimulate blood-flow to the hair. Many ideas have been proposed on this webpage. However, this is far from a comprehensive list of possible interventions. There is much room for creativity and ingenuity in this regard. At the very least, it is an exciting new frontier for hair regrowth efforts for most of us, as we likely all have exhausted the many ways, and extent to which, we can get more blood to our hair.

EMF Mitigation

5G, wifi, phones, and the growing amount of radio-frequency emitting devices distort the Earth's natural etheric grid. That's a problem because the life-force is in the grid. When a cell tower is erected, then the area around it has a new, non-beneficial, etheric grid. This disrupts the flow of the life-force in us, within our own electromagnetic grid. This new type of etheric grid is inhospitable to life on Earth, which is why animal populations disappear and trees start to die when these towers are activated. They contain a death-force, more so than a life-force. The effect is that they severely impair coherence in our Etheric Bodies.

TOWER BUSTERS AND EARTH PIPES

The natural etheric energy is stored in mineral crystals, like quartz. For this reason, death-force EMF fighters have been burying these things called "tower busters" and copper "earth pipes" near cell towers to help restore the natural etheric grid. The tower busters are little hockey puck looking things that contain quartz crystals mixed with metal shavings and resin. The compression effect of the resin mold and the metal shavings stimulates and amplifies the piezoelectric effect in the quartz crystals, which is a compression induced electric charge. The result is an energy grid that overpowers, or harmonizes, whatever is coming from local EMF emitting devices, even cell towers. The copper pipes contain the same mixture, but they are intended to be driven down into the actual Earth to restore the ley lines.

It is important to avoid living in close proximity to cell towers, being in the same room as an wifi router, using smart phones, carrying smart phones on our bodies not in airplane mode, etc. in order for our life-force to flow strongly and coherently within us. But, having some orgone energy devices in our house, and with us when we travel, is probably a necessity nowadays. That is, until everyone wakes up to this, and we have an ether restoring revolution. Since everywhere I go, including Weston A. Price Conferences where everyone is aware of EMF stuff, I'm almost always the only adult who is not carrying a smart phone, then I don't expect this revolution to happen anytime soon. So, I'm going with the hockey pucks right now.

I have bought tower busters and copper pipes from both The Orgone Donor and TheChembow (not affiliated ). I heard them on podcasts, and liked what they had to say. I would buy theirs again. They are not the only ones who do this. For example, I found these tower busters (affiliate link) on Amazon, if you are loading up your cart. It's all pretty much the same stuff. You can even make them. I have ten of the tower busters distributed throughout my house, and I take them when I travel. In addition, if you want to get some extra to bury near cell towers in your area, then your community will unknowingly appreciate it. The weather may improve too, since cell towers may be primarily a geoengineering technologically.

FARADAY CAGES

Even though I have tower busters, I still take measures to reduce radio-frequency EMF in the house. For example, I put a box over my wifi- router wrapped in aluminum foil in order to reduce the field strength. This is called a faraday cage, and it's the least sophisticated one you can do, though effective. Alternatively, one can be built out of any metallic mesh, which allows for better ventilation for the router. Solid metal walls are not necessary because radio-waves are too big to get through a metal mesh.

The problem with the faraday cage is that it will weaken the wifi signal to the extent that you have difficulty getting wifi on your device, thus defeating the purpose of having wifi. However, we don't want to be near an EMF receiving device anyway, because that thing also creates the death-force field. So, the solution is to run the internet through ethernet cables and CONNECT them to our devices. It has been so exciting to see the world go wireless in my lifetime, but now I'm back to using wires.

It is possible to get really long ethernet cables, run them across the house, wires everywhere, roll them up for company, and live like that. We did. But, then we got these netgear boxes (affiliate link) that plug into the wall, near the computer, and provide an internet connection locally. Furthermore, the box does not emit any radio-frequencies. It just requires a short ethernet cable that extends from the nearest electrical outlet. We keep the wifi-router in the garage, which has to be plugged into one of these things too in order to work, and have two additional non-emitting netgear boxes in the actual house to connect the internet to our computers. Overall, it's a much less cluttered house, and I could not even do the long cables these days now that I have a toddler.

EMF METERS

Having an RF EMF meter is useful for mitigating exposure in the house, testing EMF blocking efforts, and identifying EMF sources while traveling. If you have a few hundred dollars to spare, it's worth the investment. I bought an Acoustimeter for measuring radio-frequency EMF, which is anything that communicates via radio-waves and can connect to the internet without a wire (wifi, phones, bluetooth, cell towers). I just learned that the company that makes the Acoustimeter is no longer in business. Maybe you can find one on Ebay. If not, then this meter (affiliate link) looks similar in terms of function and price to the one that I have. At the very least, this is a base of what to look for when starting your research.

In addition to the Acoustimeter, I have a TriField (affiliate link) meter. This meter measures all three types of fields that an electrical thing will generate: radio-frequency, electric, and magnetic. Only devices that communicate wirelessly will generate a radio-frequency (RF) EMF. But, everything that runs on electricity will create both an electric and magnetic field, such as home appliances, lights, light switches, air filters, space heaters, computers, phones, and all the walls that have electrical wires running through them to power the house.

All three types of EMF fields interfere with our biological functions, even though RF is arguably the most harmful and increasingly difficult to avoid right now. The TriField is a poor meter for measuring the RF EMF, but it is very accurate when measuring the other two types of EMF fields. It's good for testing air filters, saunas, cars, lights, walls near beds, laptops, and just general stuff around the house to figure out how to reduce as much electrical field influence on us as possible.

BLUE LIGHT GLASSES

Even if our computers, phones, or tablets are not emitting radio-frequencies, they still emit an unnatural light with a skewed spectral distribution, known as blue light. Electronics emit more of the the blue light than the red light in the color spectrum. The blue light amps us up, and the red light calms us down. This is a familiar imbalance that we want to avoid. In general, it causes many health problems, mainly because it throws off our bio-rhythms. It is best to avoid screens entirely, but until we all re-learn how to farm, without electricity, off of the land, and out in the country, then we are going to need a pair of blue light glasses.

As I mentioned on this website, I had a back injury a few years ago that resulted in lingering nerve pain, which I had for a year and a half until I started eating copper-rich foods and wearing blue light glasses. Excessive blue light exposure was interfering with my body's ability to heal, somehow. The chiropractor told me it is was because my brain was fried from blue light and that the red light will calm the nervous system down so that the brain can focus on healing the damaged nerve. I don't know if that's how everything worked, but it worked. Furthermore, after 4 years of wearing them, it hurts my eyes to look at screens without them. I think that's how our eyes are supposed to feel when we look at a screen.

I have a pair of Swanwick blue light glasses, which are expensive. Somehow my wife got them for much cheaper though. She's a better shopper than me. Here's a moderately priced pair of blue light glasses (affiliate link) that I would buy if I didn't have a deal-obsessed wife who is willing and able to scour the internet for these deals. Basically, try to spend over $30 and make sure that the glasses have a rich orange tint. The clear frames will not block enough of the blue light end of the spectrum. The clear frames are for day time use, and for more indirect exposure. If you are on a computer screen for hours, day or night, rather, then the dark orange lenses are necessary.

INTUITION

My last note on the detrimental effects of EMF interference, specifically radio-frequency, is that we are all radio-frequency emitting devices, ourselves. We all communicate with each other on a radio-frequency level. I believe that this is how female menstrual cycles synchronize, for example, or how chicken pox spreads, or used to spread before this developmentally essential disease was supplanted with an injectable poison alternative. And, most importantly, based on Paracelsus' remarks on the subject, it's how we receive information from God. That is, it's the receiving end of divine wisdom, which provides pretty high quality information.

Therefore, by getting away from phones, computers, wifi, blue-light, all of the electric fields in the house, in addition to other detoxification measures mentioned in this section, we're going to better hear whatever our intuition is telling us. Ultimately, this will give us a lot more clarity, and we will be emboldened to keep relying on our own experience, observation, and inference to learn, heal, and to figure stuff out.

Conclusion

As implied in the Bible story of Samson and Delilah, and explicitly theorized in TCM, much of our life-force is stored in our hair. I mentioned this notion on the first page, but, given the discussion in the last section, it may have some more context and importance now. It's a reminder that the life-force not only grows the hair, but that the life-force is actually present in the hair follicle. Again, this makes sense, given how our hair is such a strong reflection of our vitality. For example, women have longer and thicker hair, are less afflicted by hair loss, and they live longer. Furthermore, the hair of a child has a much different luster than the hair of an older human, even if the older one has yet to lose color. And the fact that a lone hair can grow on a patch of bald scalp, years after all the other hairs have disappeared, is an indication, to me at least, that the hair grows from life-force and has it's own life-force.

Those lone surviving hairs on completely bald scalp would have died off a long time ago, if hair grew only from blood. Once that artery is choked off, and the blood is gone, then they would all have to die. The hair next to it is dead, and I would imagine that they share the same arterial branch. How could it survive, otherwise? I have some such hairs that even grow to full length! It doesn't make sense. Rather, it only makes to me that the hair still grows because the life-force is so strong in the follicle, that it simply refuses to die. It's like a tree growing out of a sheer cliff face.

I don't know if we can "trick" the Etheric Body into growing hair in areas that now satisfy the definition of being "forehead" more so than that of "top of skull", but I think that we can cultivate a stronger life-force within us, which may ultimately cultivate a stronger life-force in our hair. I want more hairs that simply refuse to die. I think that we can do that with some Etheric Body work. It starts with liver flushes and coffee enemas to get our livers healthy and circulating qi robustly again. It will also take cultivating awareness in the Etheric Body, which I'll discuss more on the Spirit Body page. Once we get an awareness of our qi, then we can start to use our intent to move it about. On this page, the focus was on moving it out of the head, but we could also move it back to the scalp, and to the hair. Furthermore, there are all of the energy healing modalities, on which I have yet to scratch the surface, all of which could serve to amplify the qi flow in our Etheric Body and, ultimately, to our hair.

To guide us in our intervention efforts in the unfamiliar realm of the Etheric Body, we will have to do some research. But, we also need to use our intuition. We cannot follow the dogma of energy healing protocols, much like we cannot follow the dogma of modern medicine. This is uncharted territory. As far as I know, no alternative health "expert" is out there claiming to regrow hair by means of life-force work. Therefore, it's incumbent upon us to use our observation, experience, and inference, all guided by our intuition, to figure it out.

Our intuition is just one of our built-in guides through life. We have another. In addition to our intuition, which is a flume of brilliant ideas coming from the divine wisdom, the heart is also communicating to us, all day, the things that we need to do in order to provide it with the loving warmth from the fulfillment of our spiritual goals. To act on this guidance, we need to enter the realm of the Soul, and listen to our emotions. The Etheric Body is especially sensitive to our emotions. Our physiology, even our appearance, is a manifestation of Etheric responses to what we experience in our emotions. So, for example, if we want to learn why our skulls are expanding in grotesque ways, then we have to look at what's in our Soul.
