Here are some reasonings that will show how I see locks
---------------------
The only requirement Jah has for his people is to live by his direction. So whether a man or woman have locks or not doesn't matter, because their faith and livity is who they are.
But for those that have it in them to grow their locks, then the locks must grow. I have been trodding as RasTafarI for 12 years, and I have been growing I locks for over 8 years. I have no intention or desire to ever cut I locks, I locks is a body part to I now, so I won't cut it.
But as I said, I and I only requirement is to live for Jah. But one thing that I do feel, is that when a person completely accepts theirself as Jah has created them, then they will grow their locks. There are a few different reasons I grow I locks, one of them is because this is how Jah created I and I. So as I sight it, Jah created I and I this way because this is how I and I are to be, and I accept Jah creation.
My mother used to bother I all the time about I locks, she still makes little comments now and then. After I was growing I locks for a few years, she asked I to go to the priest in her church. My family is Serbian Christian Orthodox, but in the city where we lived, the only Orthodox church was a greek Orthodox. So one day I saw the priest in a cafe, and after I spoke to him and explained why I was growing I locks, there was nothing he could say.
My mother then wanted I to contact a Serbian Orthodox priest in Toronto. So I went to the church and explained to the priest I livity, and why I grow I locks. He asked I a few questions, and I had an answer to all of them. He laughed and said "you have an answer to every question"
He then said to I "You could live good and keep your faith in your heart, without growing your hair like that."
I replied to him and said, "What is on the inside must come out"
He just smiled and their was nothing else he could say to I about it.

I see locks as the way Jah created us, so I accept Jah Creation.
I also see that locks have a purpose, and that is why they grow the way they do. I and I can pick up vibrations with our Locks, they are like antenna.

----------------------------------
I and I locks are used to enhance some of I and I senses. Locks are receptors to help I and I communicate with Jah, the elements and all of Creation. I and I can communicate spiritually without Locks, but with Locks I and I are more receptive to these senses. The cat's whiskers are there for a reason and if the whiskers are cut, certain senses would be weakened. I and I locks are also their for a reason, and when we cut them we disturb their use and purpose. The True Locks man knows of this. We not only know, but I and I experience it.
That is why the Nazarites, the holy Ones, were told to let their locks grow as Jah created them, so they can perform their works.
Many who grow their locks don't exercise these senses, so their locks are vanity to them. But locks have a purpose for RasTafarI people in these times.
