TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [5504]. This we have had before. There is not a great deal of change since last we had same, save that of the conditions as have been given as the conception taking place. There should be, for the proper conditions to be brought about in the system, the administration of those conditions as have been outlined for the body as respecting how the physical conditions might be brought into their proper relationship one with another in the physical forces of the body, that THESE conditions might come about normally - else we may not expect for the full time, or for the proper developments for the mother and the offspring; for with physical defects there must come the continued dread, the continual ordeal of the FEAR - as brings the improper reflexes to all physical organisms of the system; while, with correction of these conditions through the manner as has been outlined - through the osteopathic manipulations, or through the masseur's manipulations for the physical conditions - these corrections may be brought about and the portion where there is dread and fear in the system will be carried then to its NORMAL expectancy, AND there would be brought that which the BODY DESIRES in its inner self for the physical forces in self and of the offspring.
2. Then, DO as has been outlined, and we will find the better conditions for the body, and WITH these there will become the reduction of those troublesome effects as have existed with the system. We are through for the present.
