TEXT

1. GD: You will have before you the entities, [1523] & [1650], [1523] present in this room, [1650] at the ..., Va. In the light of previous advice given that they should make themselves channels for the entrance of a soul into the earth, you will now advise them as to the physical adjustments to be made, also as to the manner of conducting themselves and the attitude that they should hold to bring about more of a oneness of spiritual desire and purpose; that they may ideally conceive, ideally cherish and nourish through the periods of gestation, a soul of God's choice for them. You will then answer the questions that have been submitted, as I ask them, concerning their home and marital relations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the entities here, [1523] & [1650]; and the information which has been indicated through this channel as respecting associations, activities, and making themselves as channels.
3. In analyzing those conditions as exist in the present, - any preparation, any changes as may be wrought must be considered from a united, cooperative basis, rather than just being told to do this or that.
4. Let each study those things that have been indicated as being problems from the associations and activities in the varied spheres of experience, that are to be met; endeavoring, trying to be the best POSSIBLE channel for each to fulfil that ideal chosen by each in a cooperative way and manner.
5. With this study would be the prayer, which also may be cooperative; that each be privileged to meet those requirements necessary in the activities, in the mind of Creative Forces.
6. Then in the same way and manner make your bodies the better channel; that there may be that expression as He - in His Mercy, in His love, in His care - may give into your keeping; a soul that may manifest best through the body created by your physical activities.
7. These are the manners in which there may be brought about this; as one in mind, in purpose, in intent; as one in physical and in mental activities.
8. For these will bring those relationships that are in keeping with His purposes.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) As given in our joint Reading - "TOGETHER - ASK!" How may we best approach this, that we may become AWARE of our asking together?
    (A) Pray together openly, verbally.
11. (Q) Would it be in keeping with the purposes and desires set in our ideal to sell our home at this time?
    (A) This, of course, offers many possibilities and probabilities. As we find, this would be very well - if there is the receiving from same that which lessens the anxieties respecting the financial conditions. But this, to be sure, will be a testing for each.
12. (Q) If so, should we finish and move into the garage apartment of [1523]'s parents - the home on the railroad track at ..., Va. of [1523]'s parents - or would some other place be better?
    (A) Do not be in too close association or contact with others of the family, but ever as helpful influences one to another. The completing of the home near the railroad would be the more preferable of these two.
13. (Q) Any suggestions as to another place?
    (A) These should be choices in the entities.
14. (Q) Advise us as to what financial preparation we should make, and when, to help take care of possible changed surroundings of [1650]'s mother? [[1650]'s mother died a little over a year later - during the summer of 1942.]
    (A) This, too, must be according to choices; preferably by having prepared self, not merely by laying in store today, but by the MENTAL attitudes. And this would come - as we find - within the next two years.
15. (Q) In the message for [1523] given Nov. 6, 1940, [281-50, Par. 13-A] "let that which is done in secret be proclaimed in thy prayer to the Father." Please clarify this, that she may better understand it, and apply it in her daily life.
    (A) Read what has just been given! As has been prayed, or the prayer of each, - let this be together, verbally, openly. DECLARE the purposes! It makes a lot of difference in attempting to put the desires into words, even in the presence of one another.
16. (Q) In [1523]'s desire to become a channel through which God the Father may manifest physically, how may she know what line of demarcation she should draw, in mental preparation, that it will ever be, "Thy will be done"?
    (A) Let that mind be in thee which was in Him, "Not my will, Lord, but Thine." That the entity only knows by the manner in which it speaks of, and to, others.
17. (Q) Please give the meaning of the disturbing dream she had on Dec. 9, 1940, in which a child was born to her at 7 & 1/2 months - a boy with a skin disease - who was old enough to talk when she regained consciousness - both having been cared for in her home by her mother?
    (A) The warning not to be too close to the home; also as to the need of the full preparation of self's body for being a physical channel for the completing of a perfect period, see? Do not be overanxious, but be a willing channel. [See 1523-13 Reports, 8/10/41 dream.]
18. (Q) Has conception been blocked because of physical interference - or has the unity of purpose in relation to the ideal set not been in harmony and accord with the ideal manner set in the ideal?
    (A) Both.
19. (Q) Is it that this period of preparation is as a testing period necessary for future needs?
    (A) That which IS is necessary. Use it in HIS way.
20. (Q) What further physical corrections are necessary to allow pregnancy?
    (A) Mostly just time, and the keeping of the body fit - by the exercise and the activities that have been indicated.
21. (Q) Would the continuing of Castor Oil Packs for dissolving adhesions interfere with pregnancy - or tend to eliminate impregnation? Advise.
    (A) Rather it would be advisable to use same, that when there is pregnancy it would prevent a great deal of distress and anxiety.
22. (Q) Considering previous disturbances in the pelvic region, what disturbing reactions may be expected during pregnancy?
    (A) Let's have the pregnancy first! and then we may give the conditions! For this will depend upon the period and the preparation of the body, and as to how and as to which of the ovaries gives the discharge at that period. Much depends upon circumstances. For, these reactions may be normal or otherwise, depending upon the preparation and the general conditions, see?
23. (Q) Comment on the use of the following: a. Calcios.
    (A) Depends upon the circumstance in which this is to be used. As for this body, with its general attitudes and activities and diets, it isn't needed in the present. It may be needed when such conditions arise, but there is the balance in the present in the body.
24. (Q) Osteopathic adjustments - how often and about how many?
    (A) These are well for anybody occasionally, and - to be sure - MOST desirable throughout a period of pregnancy.
25. (Q) Please give cause and correction of the skin breaking between the toes.
    (A) Not as good circulation as there should be. It is partially from an infection. Use any of the good antiseptics.
26. (Q) How may I best cope with the nervous reactions which occur at times?
    (A) Be STILL! if ye would see the glory of the Lord; meaning, - being still within, as well as in the general attitude and activity.
27. (Q) Does it have any significance that about two months ago the word "gonad" passed continuously thru my mind just prior to menstruation, which was delayed ten days?
    (A) No; only association.
28. (Q) Was pregnancy present?
    (A) We do no find it so.
29. (Q) Any other advice to each in making themselves channels?
    (A) Keep that attitude of constructiveness throughout, not only in thy relationships one to another but to the problems of each.
    For, remember, each: There are temperaments and there are temperaments, and you each have your share.
    Then, keep in an attitude ever of constructiveness, hopefulness one toward the other, as well as in relationships to others.
    Oft analyze self TO self. But let each say little of detrimental nature to the other. Remember: You are to be a helpmeet one for the other; to encourage, not discourage.
30. We are through for the present.
