We can see in our earliest years that our head (and brain) are, relatively, more fully formed than the rest of our body. „Our head is a metamorphosis of that which, through the Feeling „heart‟ of our Inspirational Body, has been impressed with deep Willing upon the Formative forces of our metabolic system, in an earlier earthly life.‟ In our early years, we form ideas with our senses and remember them through imitation and repetition - we grow into them.
