BIBLE VERSES

HAIR OF THE HEAD 

A symbol of faith, intuition of truth, or the highest qualities of the lower mind.

“My Mother the Holy Spirit even now took me by one of the hairs of my head, and carried me to the great mountain Tabor."-Cited by Jerome from the Gospel according to the Hebrews.

The Holy Spirit is the Mother of the Christ upon the buddhic plane: and it is through Her (Wisdom), and through the uplifting of the soul through the intuition, that the highest state of consciousness is attained; which answers to the ascent of the "lofty mountain." The raising by "a hair of the head" is the lifting of the Christ-soul (Jesus) by a point of contact which is attached to its most receptive functioning towards higher things.

"Eckhart teaches,-at the ' apex of the mind' there is a Divine spark which is so closely akin to God that it is one with Him, and not merely united to Him." - W. R. INGE, Christian Mysticism, p. 155.

"The most common and comprehensive word for deity in the Japanese language is Kami.... Kami no ke, or simply Kami, is the hair of the head. Kami is applied not only to Gods, but to Mikados and nobles."-W. G. ASTON, Shinto, p. 7.
