Ken, since you asked, I’m telling you. I love the idea of coming back to a life of hair but dude, grow your own. Whatever shows up shows up. I am WAY more interested and supportive of seeing you as an actual 71 year old man with whatever male patterned baldness you got. As a friend I say ditch the rug.

This conversation reminded me of this poem: "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired, And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells, And run my stick along the public railings, And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens, And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat, And eat three pounds of sausages at a go, Or only bread and pickle for a week, And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry, And pay our rent and not swear in the street, And set a good example for the children. We will have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised, When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple!" - Jenny Joseph

02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) - is to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of the Primeval Creator as being the Perfect Person, and “God” (capitalized) is a personal epithet of the Unconditioned Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Absolute is a fictional character of divers mythologies. According to most every enlightened sage in the history of this planet, the Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, Impersonal Absolute NOTHINGNESS (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera). In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF. Because the Unmanifested Absolute is infinite creative potentiality, “it” actualizes as EVERYTHING, in the form of temporary, cyclical universes. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i.e. conscious awareness - although, “it” is, being the subject, by literal definition, non-existent). Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person's sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an 'awakened' individual. APPARENTLY, this phenomenal universe was created with the primal act (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of light, which in turn, was instigated, ultimately, by Extra-Temporal Supra-Consciousness. From that first deed, every motion or action that has ever occurred has been a direct (though, almost exclusively, an indirect) result of it. Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Discrete consciousness, on the other hand, is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities). “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (a Sanskrit maxim from the “Chandogya Upanishad”, meaning ‘all this is indeed Brahman’ or ‘everything is the Universal Self alone’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are, quintessentially, that! This “Theory of Everything” can be more succinctly expressed by the mathematical equation: E=A͚ (Everything equates to Infinite Awareness). HUMANS are essentially this Eternally-Aware-Peace, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements - pseudo-ego (the assumed sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space). When one peers into a mirror, one doesn’t normally mistake the reflected image to be one’s real self, yet that is how we humans conventionally view our ever-mutating forms. We are, rather, in a fundamental sense, that which witnesses all transitory appearances. Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of that primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that - an unverified belief. Likewise, the notion of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit” is largely a fallacious belief. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating, transient pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Surprisingly to most, suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal 'doership' - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they wish. Another way of stating the same concept is: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling or unable to accept life as it manifests moment by moment. There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements, listed above. The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one's core identity). This is the very same peace which is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This 'resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness' can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one's life. Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (religion) delineated in the sixteenth chapter of this work, or else in creating wealth and the acquisition of material possessions, or in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is often referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life. Fortunately, that is not the case - it is eminently possible to live one's life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined. Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure which enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i.e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (ostensively) material universe, you are now able to become liberated from all mental suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to approach an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another way (in alignment with your essential identity as The Divine). For one who has himself for a teacher, that man has a veritable fool as his teacher. Even if you adhere closely to the precepts of a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life - all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course. Furthermore, if you are suitably-qualified and it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to receive discipline from one of the EXTREMELY rare fully-enlightened masters residing on earth at any given time (perchance even the current World Teacher himself), and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by diligently studying authoritative doctrines (especially the most accurate and complete of all extant Scriptures, this “Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”), serving your guru with great reverence and devotion, and by deliberately avoiding undue harm to oneself, to other individuals, to society as a whole, and to the natural environment. ☮️

Once my hair started to thin out in my mid 40s, I began to shave my head every week. But just recently, now in my mid 70s, I decided to give my hair one last chance. It's very thin at the front, but quite thick on the back and sides. One advantage of hair is that it provides a certain amount of padding - every other week I would find something to bang my thin-skinned, egg-bald head against and make it bleed. Not any more!

Bravo to Ken for trying it out...totally his business no one else's in my opinion. Like he says it's like a piece of clothing, just a hat.

I first read a book edited by Ken Wilber in 1985 ( The Holographic Paradigm ), and several more by him followed over the next 10 to 15 years. I have watched hundreds of his videos since then, and I have been a big fan for 36 years now. I also have noted that women who have had cancer, and who are trying to grow their hair back, that they wear a wig for a while until their hair looks more respectable. So why not the same for Ken ? His genius will continue whether he is bald, has scruffy hair , patchy hair or is wearing a wig to cover wispy and scruffy hair until it looks better. Focus on the important stuff which is his work. Keep authoring and teaching Ken. All the best !

Ken should be more honest with his followers and readers, he might have said directly to be working on his Jungin's Anima feminine Shadows side to address it, this whole interview was about the Shadows of unconsciousness that may pop up anytime....

I can see Ken has a wound on his forehead which is healing, I wonder if the wig is being used to cover it also.

Yikes! 😳 From ‘eggshell blonde’ to blonde; that’s one way of doing personal transformation! Definitely the most interesting exposition on baldness and hair I have heard. It looks like Ken has worked hard to baldly go where no one has gone before; why not give all the shaving a rest and change from bare to hair.

Mere speculations: "Mystic State", "Zen State", "practicing Zen..." Geez, after 50-60 years, WE NEED MORE! We really do need more! Where is the so-called REALization? Do you feel peace, love, joy, happiness, while listening him?? I don't think so 🤭 Try Nisargadatta, Neville Goddard or Rupert Spira instead ❤ Try the real stuff! ❤

Your friends love you and accept you and will support your wig decision. However, I agree with some folks here that most society will discard/ distrust your message if they are familiar with you yet or even fans could feel you have gone off the deep end...like I needed to watch this to know wtf was going on and I'm reassured by your explanation, but not sure why you cannot see that this is like a Halloween costume kinda look. I wish the best for you sir, and am learning so much from integral life!

Growing out real hair is my recommendation. One can always shave it off again. Wigs look so unreal, unless they are for a clever disguise.

I don't get why he is thinking or concerned with hair at all. Why not just stop shaving and see if it's comfortable? But then it doesn't really matter. Maybe it is just human to be eccentric in our old age. I have studied ken wilber's books since "Spectrum of Consciousness" and that is what I am interested in.

If hair represents samsara then "theoretically" I would imagine Ken still assumes he can take samsara on and off at his discretion. That is a very bold assumption and in direct accordance with his grand perception of his own transcendent abilities. Non-duality is a wig people. Now you know!! Don't wast your time looking anywhere else. :))))

i've been shaving my head on the new moon and the full moon for more than 30 years now the main reason is that it simplifies my life... one less thing for me to be concerned with i can’t imagine going to the trouble of actually shaving my head EVERY DAY i just use clippers every 14-15 days it takes about 10 minutes

I don't buy the, trying it out to see if I want to grow it back, description. I have a feeling he doesn’t get real feedback from his followers. Takes a bit of maneuvering to make looking like Andy Warhol a compliment. It's like saying, yes you look like a weirdo, is that what you are going for?

I like Ken with hair but i think he needs to find a different style wig or let his own hair grow. I am a long time follower of Ken and even have a Ken Wilber book group in Harrisburg, pa. and hair does not effect how I feel about him. He so helped me grow and evolve as a person.

The fact is that a shaved head turns out to be so much more sensual and enjoyable, that growing hair doesn't offer. We get into it as a practice of sacrifice, but it turns out to be the opposite. That's why it's hard to grow back hair after one experiences the shaved lifestyle. I'm letting my hair grow this time. Six years was good enough for me.

It always bothers me when people bring up "average lifespans" throughout human history as being so much shorter than they are today-and use that as a basis for the assertion that adult humans were typically dying at the given "average age". The reality is that this "average" was heavily skewed by infant mortality-many children that were born didn't survive past infancy, let alone childhood. Healthy humans that survived into adulthood, however, could certainly live out a typical human lifespan. I mean, there is plenty of writing and art from antiquity that depicts elderly people. It wasn't uncommon.

Blame it on Hobbes and his "nasty, brutish, and short" theory of life prior to civilization. I tend to believe that hunter gatherer life was natural, magical, beautiful, and free and civilization is equivalent to being born into captivity.
