Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Detroit, Mich. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [480]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, conditions show a greater improvement in the general physical forces of the body than we have had heretofore. While there are still some disturbances at the periods, these should adjust themselves, as we find, with those natural changes that come about with those activities in the experience of the body.

3. We will find that for a time - that is, until the third or fourth period after the marriage - just before the periods it would be well to take the Tonicine, to make for the activities in the alleviating of stress in the system at that time.

4. With the general change, we will find that the general physical health of the body should be on the improve.

5. We would not take the corrections in the cerebrospinal system save just occasionally, to keep a coordinating in the changes that come about in the body. And these should make for more ready response with the changes when such general massges or treatments are given.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) Should I continue taking Liver Extract? (A) This we find will be very well to continue for the time being, at least.

8. (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. [1/28/39 See 1788-3, a Life Reading for baby son.]

9. (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.

10. (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!
