Gray Hair

We all know that physical puberty occurs usually during one's teens. Spiritual puberty, however, usually doesn't happen until one is in their late thirties and early forties--right about the time the first gray hairs start appearing. This is followed by spiritual adolescence and culminates in spiritual adulthood--usually in one's fifties or sixties.
In times long, long ago, back when we had lifespans of hundreds of years, we really weren't considered fully mature until we were close to 60 years old. At this time our hair was fully gray--which in those days was a sign a maturity. If you lived to 600 years and your hair furned completely gray by age 60, then your hair would be gray for 90% of your life. You would consider it your normal color and any color it may have been before it turned gray would be considered a sign of youth, just like baby whooping cranes are born brownish-orange but turn white when they mature into adults.
But then we stepped deeply into a denser vibration and to our horror we realized that our lifespans were cut way down in size. Now, just as we were fully maturing and our hair was turning gray, instead of beginning a long life as a mature adult, we were suddenly faced with something completely new: something called aging. In the olden days, the way you looked when you were 60 was basically the way you looked for the rest of your life, meaning hundreds of years. Aging didn't happen. Getting gray hair wasn't about aging way back then, it was about maturing. Now, though, it became a signal of aging instead. Once we start seeing the signs of aging--and gray hair has become such a sign for us--then we believe we don't have much time left, and therefore we don't.
Once we start seeing gray hair as a sign of maturity rather than a sign of aging then people will stop coloring their hair, and not only that, but it will take us a long way in overcoming this dis-ease called aging. Of course, it's pretty hard to change the beliefs held collectively in mass consciousness. All we can do is change our own beliefs and be an example.
