Deep thoughts with Alexandra ;)
I just want to say I didn't realize when I started this journey how deep and spiritual it was going to be. I am almost overwhelmed by the feelings I am having and I am only 1 week in. Ive been researching about dreads, learning the history and watching peoples youtube vids about their journeys and its really deep, man. I'm also wondering how I'm going to handle my families (mom, dad, sister, grandma, etc.) reaction because I am almost certain they wont understand, and are gonna give me grief. I'm a 36 year old woman but my mom and grandmas opinions still affect me alot. I know they're going to hate my hair. Everyone always tells me I have such beautiful hair. Am I strong enough to handle their opinions? Do I really want this? As of right now, I feel like I am on the right path, I'm a natural person and I'm getting back in touch with my natural self. I feel Ive discovered something ancient. Did Adam and Eve have dreads? Whoa! Deep thought! Anyways, I just wanted to write a little something to mark the beginning of my journey so I can come back and read it in the future.
Any journey taken in the physical relm is a crystalization of where we have come to in the spirit. What we manifest into is a sum total of what we have become.Your dreadlock journey is a concequence of whow much you are growing spiritually. The more you grow spiritually - the less the physical world and its masses will understand you. It is a good sign when you are less understood as this shows you are on the right path. If you have a solid foundation in the self ( your spirit) no opinion will rock you. To reach this is pure bliss, some may even call it enlightenment.Just like you at 35 my parents were horrified at my dreads and yes i took them out for the second time, but realizing dreadlocks are a way of life a simplistic life that can only be lived by the spiritually evolved, I knew they have a different path to follow.If your mum came home with either her hair all shaved off or bright pink with lime green dots, you too would react as we all would with eachother. But reactions are short lived and they will soon fall away.
I went threw everything you are going threw, I am 4 months into them and my family still has not noticed lol. I just pull them back n wear a head band or something. When I started, I dreaded my hair slowly it took me a total of about 3 months until I was finished. During this time I was going threw a lot emotionally, I was grieving over my hair and mostly because I did not want to hurt my grandparents because my mem always says I have such beautiful hair. Once I was half was I knew there was no turning back ..and once they were done I started to fall in love with them. Some days I tried to control them and hated them but once I let go thats when the spiritual part started to happen. If you feel its right just go for it
um, didn't know there was another Adam and Eve other than the biblical ones, but thanks for the comment. peace.
if yoiu believe in the biblical adam and eve ofcourse they had dreads
but if u mean another adam and another eve i canttell u for sure
it wont matter if they hate it or not you will love it thats all that matters
