1. EC: Yes, here we have the body here.
2. Yes, we find there are abnormal physical conditions in this body here, [4469] we are speaking of, yet we find the how, or the whyfore, of the development of the soul forces with the spiritual more than in an ordinary body. Many things that have to do with the physical in this body are hard to understand, so that we have a body given that the glory and the works of the Maker may be demonstrated in a physical body for its own future development; if those who have within their keeping this body will have the mind to work out the spiritual development of this body, and will add to it their own soul force.
3. The condition in the physical body, as we find here, has more to do with the high tension of the nerve energy and its distribution in the physical than we have to do with the organs in this system, or body, or case or house, [4469] we are speaking of. As the action of the solar force, that is the solar plexus, the brain force carrying the elements of all force known in genitation, was lacking in its normal development or expression to give to the cerebrospinal force that which controls the elements of the physical body, just so must these solar forces be supplied through the soul and mental forces of those in charge of this body. All force has its attributes through its relationship with the solar plexus, which relates all forces and consciousness through the solar plexus and the nerves between the solar plexus and the cerebrospinal system. These then must be taken into consideration when we speak of [4469], so that those having the charge of the development of these forces in hand must consider its relationship with their own intentions and those powers that rule through the universe.
4. Within themselves and within this body all faculties must be brought into play to give proper development, so that the brain centers must be reached to develop in this body the incentive to carry the force of expression from the brain throughout the nervous system, so that the entire system will feel the force of the expression of the brain.
5. No treatment to the physical body would have any effect on this system save that the body is kept well in hand; but

to add to the depleted force of this body, treatment must come from outside. This can be reached from study and by keeping in touch with the forces that regulate the force given in this little body here. To do that is to keep the self within itself.
6. The development begins with the set or known cycles of units of itself, recreating day by day within the physical. As these recreate, new force must be added, by the minds and souls of those in charge of this body, to the soul force of this body; and then will develop the physical and mental and soul force in this body here, [4469] we are speaking of. That we would say is the work of those who brought this body to this plane, that is the parents, both working in conjunction one with the other for the development of the soul of the body of [4469]; the father and the mother together with the forces they called into themselves from the One above. This development must be gradual, as the non-development was gradual in its day and generation. No material force will add to this body; it must create its own vibration with its own forces. Many forces can be given to this body both in its sleeping and waking states. Many cells would be reached in its sleeping state that could not be in its conscious state.
7. (Q) What will give this child normal speech, as in other children, Mr. Cayce? (A) Just as we have added here to the faculties of the body and to the cellular force. We reach all of the forces as applied through all nerve energy in the sensory system, just as we have described in the system here. We must reach through the solar plexus here to the forces that have to do with desire or expectancy, and those forces will reach the brain and give back through the centers of the nervous system the vibration giving speech, and activity to all the senses of hearing, sight, smell, touch and feeling; and as these vibrations are given off they will reach their indentation, which in this child comes from the left side; and these will give their impression to the mental side of expression.
There are some glands that function under the individuality, and become capable of creating certain cells in themselves; just as we have the connection between these here at the second cycle or beginning, you see? and as this body grows they will develop along. But the forces that are to be supplied in its development are those that were not added during the normal gestation, and they must be added by the souls of the parents through the same force as we have given; one to apply through the waking state and one in the
4469-1 Page 3
sleeping state, and through suggestion to the cellular force to carry suggestion to the whole body. These will be varied from time to time but they must produce in the physical body the love, or central force or unit, necessary to reproduce in itself. Do that, and we will bring through, with tedious force, a being above the normal in its soul and spiritual development.
8. (Q) Are there any other details, Mr. Cayce? (A) Do this, and we will find the results will be just as they are desired by those bodies who produced this individual.
9. (Q) Shall osteopathic treatment be continued? (A) Only as a means to keep the physical body in a normal state. The force to add to this body must be given as we have given here. Do that. We are through.
