1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [450].
2. Now, there are many things and many conditions that might be approached or given concerning this body in its bodily- physical development, and much respecting those things or conditions that surrounded the body during those periods of conception and development. The whole condition as a period has had to do with some tendencies that exist in this developing body at the present time, the manner and care of the body during presentation and during those first hours that there was the determining of the physical and soul or spiritual births; for these varied in this body.
3. In the present physical conditions, as we find, a check taken on the alignments and each segment in the cerebrospinal system adjusted - not wholly according to what would be ordinary rote, but as would be taken not all at once but from time to time as the development goes on, changes made in the pivot centers, specifically in the 1st and 2nd dorsal, in the 1st, 3rd and 4th (particularly) lumbar - would make for developments in the body-physical to a more normalcy in the activities of the body as related to coordinating of all those influences physical that may be met, or be impressed by the emotional body, the mental body, and the physical activities.
4. To be sure, many may say, to divide the body into any such conditions is to play - as it were - contortions with words and with conditions; yet these are WELL manifested in this particular body, [450] we are speaking of, that unless perfect alignment IS made, and partially made - one at the time, not all at once - there will be conditions that will arise that will be most unsatisfactory.
5. What do they produce in the present? Not the normal developments that should be with a body as related to its
450-1 Page 2
activities and to its mental relationships with the imaginative and physical forces of the body. And these are preventing, then, the present development, and these are the times and periods when these changes should be made; for they will be less effective upon the developing manhood of the body than if they are allowed to attempt to adjust themselves, or the system adjust itself, to impingements that exist.
6. When did these occur? As given. The manner of the carrying of the body. The manner of presentation at birth. The manner of delivery at the time. The developments that have been as related to the regulations of the physical, the mental and the active forces for the manifestations of the spiritual life; for it manifests in whatever direction it is left to be controlled with the impetus that is received with the conjunction of those forces or influences in a material world, through which activity of Spirit may manifest.
7. This should in this body be the convincing evidence that there IS the physical body, there is the mental body, there is the soul body, and the SPIRIT moves all as to how it has been - whether of hereditary or environmental influences in bringing into being that which manifests the spirit of God in material things.
8. Hence that as may be given respecting its sojourns in the earth, that to which it may accomplish through its activities and in the development of those forces that are in the making in this body, would be MOST helpful.
9. In the present, alone would we give: Be mindful that the corrections are made gently, and that the diets and the activities of the body are given in accord with the one directing such corrections during this formative period.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Do we understand that these adjustments should be made osteopathically? (A) Or chiropractically, provided the one giving the treatment knows his business!
12. (Q) How often should such treatments be taken? (A) They may be given every day, provided they are not too severe or are not ALL aligned at once. For, to place an alignment even in a small structural body doesn't necessarily mean, from the influences, that it will remain until muscular contraction, nerve energies as released, will hold same in its position.
13. (Q) Do we understand that the diet for the body should be recommended by the one giving the treatments? (A) For, the various connections that are made are to affect and be active with various portions in the body.
450-1 Page 3
See? When these are changed or altered, the diet should be prescribed by the one making the change; that there may be coordination - which is necessary for the normal development of this body. They are not, as yet.
14. (Q) Would you recommend any special doctor? (A) Be sure it's one that knows his business! Any that is competent, able, and in sympathy with seeing all that may be given respecting this body; for much might be said.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Aunt " " File
