EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before.
Now, we find the body very good respecting physical
conditions of the body. While there are changes taking place
with and for the physical forces, these are of the natural
development of conditions as respecting both physical and
mental attitude of the body, and there needs be kept that
same mental and physical attitude toward the developments
that are arising, and will arise in the physical forces of
the body, to bring about those normal conditions as have
been outlined for the body. This the mental attitude of
conditions, and developments are as the growth of the mental
development of the body - dependent upon that which the body
gives - physically and mentally - to the being dependent
upon the body; for, as we find here, there is that full
demonstration of how that life projects itself in a mental
attitude, and is the continual growth of that projected;
for the spiritual forces - which is the life - is as that
projected, and that builded is the outcome of the attitude,
and mental forces as well as physical of the body. Following
those, then, with that same prayerful attitude as is and was
attained in that union bringing about those conditions in and
for the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What should the diet for this body be?
(A) That of the well balanced diet that presents sufficient
of those elements that build not only muscle, sinew, blood
and bone, but that that builds mentally and spiritually; that
is, the body physically fit. Keep body physically fit in the
well balanced diet that does not present too much of any one
element for developing conditions for the system. There is
seen in that where proper attitude is kept, mentally and
physically - and is as much dependent upon the father as the
mother, IN ATTITUDE and that in same there is seen that the
body requires those elements necessary to create the proper
relationship in developing forces of a physically and
mentally well balanced being.
(Q) What CAN the action and attitude of the husband take?
(A) That of the same relationships as brought about that
projection of life, in love, affection, and not pampering
- but in that of the attitude that brings contentment in
not gratification of desire alone, but of a well balanced
condition wherein each are considered in whatever is
undertaken or done.
(Q) Should the body be forced to eat at this time when she
doesn't desire food?
(A) No. Never force ANY issue for the mental and physical
well being for DEVELOPING body. Only keeping that of
consistent regulation of thought and activity, for while
desire without mental consistency may lead one - when it
has borne fruit - into irregularity as respecting physical
or mental attitude; hence consistency, regularity.
(Q) What exercise should the body take?
(A) These are as constant developments for any well being,
well balanced body. Consistent exercise with conditions as
develop. Walking exercise is well. The general conditions
well. General social relations well. Yet these must ever
be consistent with conditions as they arise.
(Q) Is the Dr. Geist, who lives at 300 Central Park West,
New York City, the proper doctor to handle the well being
of the body?
(A) Capable and efficient.
(Q) What books should the body read at this time?
(A) Nature the best book of all!
(Q) When is the sex of a child determined?
(A) In the activities of the life projected.
(Q) Has the sex already been determined of this being?
(A) Soon will be.
(Q) What will the sex be?
(A) As has been given.
(Q) When shall the body be expected?
(A) Full time. Thirty - forty days at present. Eight
months - forty - twenty days. [Baby son, [
759], was born
9:13 A.M. on
2/15/29.]
(Q) Is there any other information for this body?
(A) These are at present those conditions. As the
developments come about, may change as conditions arise.
These are conditions as we find them at present with this
body, [
903], we are speaking of, and the developments as are
inhibited within. There are some peculiar aspects to this
particular condition at the present that would be well to
consider as conditions arise in the developments; that is,
that the body - with the proper attitude and with the proper
consideration of the exercise - would NOT have trouble with
kidney nor with the assimilations. This unusual - and an
easy time for the body.

time?

suffers?

(Q) Should she take special dancing work?
(A) Rather that of the special exercise as relationship to
these conditions, than special dancing lessons.

beverages?
(A) In moderation, for in moderation comes the better
development of a well balanced body, both mental and
physical.
(Q) Should she attend musicals and theaters? Does it have
an affect upon the body to come?
(A) Certainly!
(Q) Is it advisable at the present time for the body to
attend?
(A) Very good in moderation. NOTHING to excess!
(Q) Should the body travel?
(A) In moderation, yes.
(Q) Are high heels harmful?
(A) For the body itself, yes. For that coming - not so
much.
(Q) What can the body do to bring about the most normal
and natural delivery without trouble to itself?
(A) Follow those suggestions as has been given, using
common sense. We are through for the present.
