These conditions, as we find, have to do with the
eliminations, and the tendency towards that of the choking or
clogging in the system. These form for the system drosses
that makes for hardships in the functioning organs, through
the tendency towards the constipation and the condition as
exists in extremities - especially in feet and limbs. These
are as excesses, and WEAKEN the strength and vitality of the
muscle, the sinew, and the tendons in same. The weakness as
seen in the feet, the heaviness as seen in the limbs - these
are as results of conditions produced by pressure in the
circulation, as hindered, as brought about by tendencies and
pressures from those conditions existent in the lower dorsal
AND lumbar regions. These, then, are as warnings. To be
sure, the excesses bring other conditions in the system,
making for hardships as related to those of genitation, as
well as those of the circulation above the diaphragm. The
fullness in the lungs and throat, the dryness and extra
secretions in nasal and soft tissue at times - these are but
results, or effects of these disturbances. The RADIATION, as
we find, from these, exists from the 12th dorsal and the 2nd
and 4th lumbar; while the HEAVINESS as seen in the system,
from those of excess of flesh, or the settling, or the
continuation of growths in portions - these are as the result
of the sedentary conditions, or activities, in the physical.
While the corrections of those impingements, or those
pressures in the lower dorsal and lumbar would RELIEVE, yet
there must be activities both as to diet and as to exercise,
would the CONDITIONS in the system be corrected.
We would find also, that - with the correction in the lumbar
and the dorsal (lower) - the ends as related to those of the
soft portions in feet, under knees, and along the limbs -
these exercise to the point of RELIEF of pressure - there
will be little needs of the preparations as for the feet, or
the tendency of not desiring to stand on feet - for they
hurt, as do the limbs from same.
In meeting the corrections of these, we would have those
adjustments made as for the lumbar and sacral; also those in
the feet, ankle, and in the knee.
In the exercises - these we would have as specific, other
than those as naturally given through the correction. We
would use that of the ROTARY motion, as the body lies prone -
swinging the limbs from side to side, turning the portions of
the body - feet - as of motion of riding the wheel, and in
those exercises as may be from the vibrations as from the
ROTARY vibratory forces. These, as we find, will correct
those conditions. Also we will find that, in the diets -
these should be PRINCIPALLY of those in the vegetable forces
as grow MOST above the ground. To be sure, those of the
nature as add for certain mineral salts, these - as are of
the tuberous - may be well - but those that make only for
weight, or for starch, LITTLE of these. No meats, save
occasionally there may be those of the sea foods to supply
that necessary balance in the salts for the activities of the
kidneys, activities of the GLANDS of the system. These, we
find, are necessary. These will be found from those of the
shell fish, especially.
In the mental forces of the body, these - in their activities
- have had much that has been DISCONCERTING, rather than
discouraging; for the body is rather strong minded and
self-willed at times. These, as we find, are well. Only be
sure of that way in which the mind, or the mental training is
in keeping WITH that as would be desired for self when it has
conceived or grown to seed in its activity. Do not so act,
so conduct self, as that, that will be builded in self or
associations, will be afraid to be met - what has been said,
what has been meted, or the manner in which self has
conducted self, mentally, physically, or spiritually,
concerning the friend.
In the spiritual forces, these we find in accord with that as
may be builded. KEEP self IN attunement with the divine
influences as may shine through in the self's activities; for
that thou art shows forth, whether the word be spoken, or the
confession. "Of the abundance of the HEART, the mouth
speaketh." By confession is attunement made. By the
activities of the body-mental and physical may the new forces
of those - or the new sources be brought of those forces that
bring the joy of service in a life spent in a way and manner
that may be called blessed. Ready for questions.
(Q) What can body do to make marriage a success? [With
husband, Mr. [
412]]
(A) Show forth in self that manner in which the desire of
self would have towards self, and the reflections of self's
activities, self's associations, self's relations - these
will bring for the body those things that make for the LIFE
worth while.
(Q) Can body perform its duty best through motherhood or a
career, or both?
(A) Through motherhood, and afterward there may be builded -
through those relationships - that as may be desired as
regarding career. The greater career for any soul be that of
home, and those who depend UPON the building of same - for,
as is seen, in each and every individual heart comes that
longing for home, even as the ETERNAL home - for these make
for those conditions which build to the greater expansions of
the mental, of the physical, and supply that channel through
which the spiritual forces MAY make manifest. "Even as the
Father and I are one, so I, in you, may make manifest that
spirit that makes for that as is BUILDED in the lives of
those in the home."
(Q) Physically and spiritually, when should body have first
child?
(A) When the proper corrections have been made in the body
PHYSICAL, for - under the general tendencies - a hardship
would be enacted as for the physical forces of the body.
Discontent and uncertainty would follow, under existent
conditions. Prepare self. Make way. Be sure that the
body-physical, the body-mental, desires that as may make
manifest that ideal as is sought to be shown forth through
the acts of the individual life, and the body-physical may be
very sure there will be attracted to self THAT desired.
[Her first child, baby daughter [
3172], was born 13 yrs.
later, on
8/19/43.]
(Q) What is correct weight of body?
(A) The body above normal weight. Should be about one forty
to forty-five.
(Q) What should body do for weak ankles and arches?
(A) That has been given.
(Q) Give name of correct shoe.
(A) Correct the ankles first, and then the shoe won't make
much difference - provided it fits!
(Q) What can be done to correct fleshiness on inside of
thigh?
(A) Remove those pressures as cause for the body the
building of tissue or of the muscular forces, or fat, in this
portion of system - and through the exercises, as has been
outlined. We will find these may be brought to a normalcy
for the body-build.
That is all the questions regarding this body.
We are through with this reading.
