(Q) How soon after marriage should there be children?
(A) As we have indicated for the body, in such relationships
this should be rather the result of those desires that come
with the constructive application of self and its
association to creative forces.
This should be a NATURAL result. For remember the law as
thou hast known concerning same, how through those changes
that are brought about in such relationships these should be
looked upon and should be as of the Lord giving, the Lord
looking upon, the Lord being that influence, that source of
the creative forces. And in this way and manner, with this
attitude and this dependence of self in such relations,
should there be brought about the proper period. As the Lord
seeth fit, as the Lord looketh upon his handmaiden, as the
Lord would bless thee in thine union.
These should be the attitudes, these should be the desires,
and not at this or that particular time. For the body
PHYSICALLY is in accord, in attune, and the activiities in
such relationships would or should bring such responses in
the body that they would be as the Lord hath need of; or, in
in other words, it would be OF the Lord that ye would seek
them the offspring. And the firstborn may then bring to self
and to this home, to this association, that which will be a
blessing; not only to self, not only to those about the body,
but to many in this material plane. [

1788-3,
a Life Reading for baby son.]
(Q) Am I physically fit and able to bear a healthy child?
(A) As indicated; and especially so if there is held in the
mind, in the body, that it is OF the Lord.
(Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
(A) Remember that which has been given thee. And read thou
as to how the Lord hath looked upon those in times past, in
the law that thou knowest well. Think on these things; keep
the statutes. Keep NOT the letter so much as the SPIRIT of
same in thine new relationships and in thine old. Let others
do as they may, but as for thee - keep the faith!
We are through for the present.
