Is there really such a divide ?

I'm confused...even disappointed. Perhaps my lesson here is not having expectations. Hmm. I came to this forum expecting a higher level of general caring and respect than I often find here. Finding a lot of vented anger and intolerance. I wonder why.

Regarding the original dread question, while some people have dreads for the style and some have dreads for other reasons, I do have an instinctive belief that dreads were originally intended to have a spiritual meaning, a connection to the universal spirit, to the One. Dreading is, to me, a meditation. Some of my dreads are natural, some backcombed, some braided, some knotted, some....

Point being, they are all individuals living happily together as a collective. For me, that is my spirituality. I am reminded of "How you do anything is how you do everything." Whether washing dishes or dreading my hair, it's all the same...breathe, focus, be.

 

i think i love you!

 

Uggghhhh last night was ridiculous. I'm so hungover.

 

count your blessings...you could have wasted time in front of the computer like i did...

 

this is a dreadlocks forum not a rasta forum. People come here asking about dreads how to get em and maintanance, i doubt many of them care about the religion and not eating meat ant whatever.

 

you would not be alienating anyone, they would be alienating themselves...it's their choice to take offense, not yours.

 

yum...meaty ants

 

Yeh they're much better than dairy ants....they hardly have any meat on them

 

lol


:cheers2:

 

glad you caught that !!!

 

Hey....*thanks*. That's a sweet comment & it's nice to meet up with like minds

Perhaps I've misunderstood the purpose of the dreadlock board on this forum. I assumed the dread board was specifically connected to spirituality, to spiritual practice. I wondered why Dreadlocks is posted in Fashion and Crafts, rather than on what I thought would be a more appropriate board. Now I'm realizing that...well, I might've been jumping to conclusions.

I am interested in a spiritual perspective on dreads, including diet, practice, etc. I'm wondering if there is a board that would be the place to discuss those subjects...maybe someone can suggest?- or I'll just check around.

Namaste
