EC: Yes, we have the conditions that surround this body, and
those disorders and disturbances that prevent the normal
functioning of organs as related to the physical forces of
the body. As we find, there are many conditions that have
their effect upon the disturbances. As we will find, in many
ways, that that might be given would be rejected by those
that are the more material, or more patent in their ideas as
concerning physical afflictions, those that look only for
those things that may be outwardly seen for the cause and
effect in the system of this individual body. Many such
would blame only those things that are seen, or as a record
would show that has happened to the body in this one
particular experience, not granting any of those truths to
even be sounded or considered as permissible in diagnosing or
attempting to understand the conditions from those of the
more metaphysical nature. There are those, however, who have
made - and are making - studies of the astrological effects
upon human beings, that by many another may be called crazy,
cranky, and the like; yet this type of mind will be much more
able to give the relief that may be brought to the body in
this particular experience, than that which calls itself the
scientific - and the actual ones in power in controlling such
relationships of individuals WITH such that may take ALL
things SURROUNDING such a body into consideration!
Then, the condition puts itself in this position: That those
who are responsible for the body's physical, moral and
spiritual welfare, must make the decisions as to whether they
will harken to those that may OFFER some aid, some relief
through these channels that may be entered in from the
psychic forces, or sources, as well as those that are called
visionary, and so often taboo, or whether they will listen to
those who say little or nothing may be accomplished, or WAIT
and SEE what will happen, or PREPARE the body, as nothing can
be done, for an experience in THIS world at THIS time without
hearing, without the ability to express in speech, that as is
felt within self. That decision must be made by those; for
it is THEIR responsibility!
Physically, with this body, we find there have outwardly been
those temperatures arising from infectious forces, or
PRODUCING infectious forces within the system that have
produced a breaking up of those nerves' ability to supply to
a portion of the sensory system, as related to the organs of
the auditory system. This condition, by drying up of the
fluids that pass through the ducts and into the middle ear,
and to those portions that make for the balancing of the
fluids that keep an equilibrium in the forces in the sensory
organism between expressions of that visioned, of that heard,
of that felt, of that tasted; for we will find some of these
are accentuated to an acuteness by the type of pressure that
is experienced by the body in those portions of the system so
affected. The color schemes are acute, and the body may see
those colors or combinations that are not visioned by others;
yet the power of giving expression except through the
emotions, that may not find expression in speech or hearing,
becomes unbalanced and acute in the OPPOSITE direction. When
there are periods of irritation and disturbances in the
sleep, and irritations that upset the assimilating system for
the body, occasionally there are regurgitations and a
tendency for the body to belch up or throw out that eaten.
This is an expression of those same experiences through the
sympathetic and imaginative forces of the body, FINDING
expressions in other portions of the system.
In the conditions, then, we find that - will there be given
the proper consideration to those conditions in the
Eustachian tubes, and those conditions in the nerve centers
in the cerebro-spinal system from which the organs of the
sensory system receive their impulse for the blood
circulation, as well as for the lymph and nerve supply to the
system - and this done before these have adjusted themselves
to that of tissue so hardened by non-use through the delicate
membranes of those organs; not irritated, to be sure, that
inflammation sets up again in the walls of the inner ear, or
those Eustachian tubes or ducts that lead to the exterior
portion, or the hardening of those portions of the ear or
head about the back portion, and lobe portion, of the ear;
there should, WITH the developments and with the proper
balancing of the system, return that ability not ONLY to
HEAR, but WITH same the return of speech!
For such conditions to be treated from the EXTERIOR - that
is, by picking into the ear, or attempting to apply from
without those things that may produce activity in the organs
of the ear itself, AS AN ORGAN, we will FIND that the
applications to those centers that may come from within would
be the better - or, as may be very well put, in this
particular body, we see a physical manifestation of that
there must be an awakening from within, that the physical
body MAY GIVE - through its strength, its virility - that of
life GIVING forces to the organs of a physical body, that
their attunement may be in accord with the material and
physical development of a living organism; or that the soul
and spirit MUST be considered as much or MORE - in making
applications FOR this particular condition in this INDIVIDUAL
body - than JUST the material, physical conditions of the
body; for when the spirit of Life IS manifest in all PORTIONS
of the organism, then there will be the effect of the life
pushing through, even in dormant functioning portions of the
sensory system, to give life and activity, and a natural and
normal functioning.
This, as we find, may be better accomplished by someone who
may, through their finger tips and by their suggestions to
the inner body itself, GIVE those impressions to the body
that these WILL be accomplished in the physical body, WILL
there be life and virility and a normal functioning of the
body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What were the causes that led up to the present
condition?
(A) This has been given! Iterating same, that the
temperature that arose in the physical organism (This is
given now PHYSICALLY, understand! Not from the spiritual, or
the astrological, which has its effect, and through those
channels may be traced to definite conditions that must be
awakened within the soul and spirit itself. Don't confuse
them!), there was produced in the minutia, or the secretions
in the organs so affected, the inner ear, that which hardened
or tended towards an atrophy of those ducts and glands that
lead to supplying of the necessary impulses from the living
organism for normal functioning.
(Q) Would would you suggest that could apply this treatment
properly?
(A) This, as we find, would be through Taylor - 56th Street,
or through those offices there may be added those that would
work in conjunction WITH that body. It will necessarily
require manipulation, and also the ability of those who may
subjugate the physical aspects of the body - but, as to
whether this is to be DONE or not; this must be determined
by those upon whom the body is dependent for its life in a
material plane!
We are through.

BACKGROUND
1/27/32 [
437]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
The case of [
2362] is that of a child four and half years of
age [Born
7/17/27], who has lost its hearing through illness.
I confirmed with Miss Davis this morning an appointment for
Saturday, between eleven and twelve. I would like to ask the
following questions:
1. What were the causes of that led up to the present
condition?
2. How has this affected the speech?
3. Can full power of speech and hearing be restored.
With kind regards, [
437]
REPORTS
2/06/32 Mrs. [
437]'s letter: "...I have been carefully
studying the reading of the [
2362] child which is, as far as
I can determine, a perfect diagnosis. I am wondering if a
life reading would help in this particular case. I am also
trying to locate Taylor - 56th St. and would like some help
from you on this if possible - perhaps a check reading. I
gather that this Taylor must be one who works through or with
hypnotic suggestion and am waiting to hear from you before I
see the parents and get to work seriously on this particular
case..."
2/09/32 EC's letter: "...As for the reading for the little
[
2362] child, yes I am sure that for the physician, if he
believes in such things especially the Life reading would be
helpful. I do not know whether I can give you any help in
locating Dr. Taylor or not. We have had reference in
information to two or three Dr. Taylors. I do not know how
to tell you where to locate the one referred to here. There
is a Dr. Guy Beckley Stearns - you will find his name in the
telephone book on 7th ave., or his office was on 7th Ave.,
when I first met him. He will be able, I'm sure , to give
you the address of the Dr. Taylor that is meant here.
2/20/32 Mr. [
437]'s letter: "The [
2362] parents located
Dr. Taylor and I am expecting to hear from them in a day or
two."
5/04/32 Charles Francis Taylor's letter: "The [
2362]
deaf-mute child seemed hopeful to me, but after taking
several months to locate me they evidently decided to do
nothing - a very common situation. By the time some of
these folks make up their minds it will cost them five to
ten times as much for me, not to speak of what they spend on
specialists."
