TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Now, we find there are material changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. In the general physical condition we find the body much improved in many ways. We find, however, there are still some hindrances in the various portions of the direct functioning of various functioning organs as regarding portions of the body. Yet these in themselves show a change and a change toward the betterment of physical conditions.
2. As to the way and manner to meet the needs of keeping these physical forces in the direct and correct channels would be in following closely that outline as has been given; as respecting especially the Radium pad for the correction in the blood supply and its relation to the rebuilding, in replenishing the system as goes to make up the rebuilding of used forces in the system, for hindrances to the [arm and shoulder] locomotion. Portions of the system that became deficient through the inability of certain nerve plexuses to meet the needs of conditions in the system are still under that strain as seen, as given, in the brachial forces of the system.
3. As respecting that condition regarding pregnancy, this as we find may be consummated under the existent forces and would be well for the body that these go through their normal period of development as respecting the physical forces, as is necessary in same and as respecting those conditions in the mental and in the physical being of the body that may develop from those conditions existent in the body. For as we find these may be building into that being wherein there will be brought much confidence, much consolation, much well- being in the man child born through this conception. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) If she should go through with this, will the confinement be as severe as her last one?
   (A) No, for the variations in the physical conditions as are to be builded through that change in the vibration as set in system as well as by the body using that manipulation as is necessary to keep the whole general system in accord with each portion of the developing body and of the body dependent upon such development. See?
5. (Q) Would it be best that a caesarean operation be performed or birth take its normal manner?
   (A) It will be born under normal conditions. The normal manner, through the correction of conditions for the body, would be the more satisfactory and the better in the outcome of both. See? Those necessary manipulations may be done by the Swede, or the massage that gives the muscles and tissue across the abdomen and in the lower dorsal and lumbar and sacral region. For these need this massage for the better development of ligaments and tissues as have been involved and as will be involved in the condition.
6. (Q) Who is one who should give these treatments?
   (A) Anyone that is capable of giving such; must be in accord with that desired by the body. Change when necessary but be sure that such an one understands the conditions and for what the massage is given. These should be begun in at least 60 days and kept gradually until the fulfillment of the period which, as we see, would be within the eight to seven months, see?

    (A) The Radium pad.
11. (Q) To be worn on the back?
    (A) To be worn across the solar plexus or just above same. See?
12. (Q) Should any diet be followed?
    (A) This will as of necessity be met as conditions develop. The diet has a great deal to do with the functioning of the organs, especially of the kidneys, and meat should be left out of the diet toward the middle and the latter portion of this condition. See?
13. (Q) Is Dr. Caldwell one that should tend this body?
    (A) As given, this body, [140], should choose the doctor; for this must be in accord with the dictates of the conscience of this body, [140]. However, as given, he may be capable of administering such as is needed under the direction of [140]. For in the analysis of Motherhood, there is nothing above same. And every act of Motherhood is toward that fulfillment of the purposes in life, and its association with same then becomes individual; hence this should be guided by that individual. See? For in giving to the world the development of a soul in and through this material plane is adding to the creative forces of the universe. See?
