-
EC: We have the body, [140]. This we have had before.
-
There are some changes in the mental and in the physical aspects of the conditions of the body from that as we have had here before. However, there is, and has been, as has been given, that physical condition (or that admixture in the body) that brings about conception; yet this, as is indicated, may, under the STRAIN, or the activities, in a manner, bring about the destructive forces for this existent condition.
-
Now, as has been given, it would be well for body to go through with that as may be brought about in conception at this time. However, that as has been done, has been done! and should the physical bring such to bear that same is physically lost at the present, do not let same occur again! At present, still existent in the body.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) The body is still in a pregnant condition? (A) That necessary for the beginning of pregnancy is still existent in the body, though, with the discharge, same may be removed from the system, unless that exercise or necessary precaution was brought about. Act upon the body’s OWN intuitive forces as concerning same; for, as given, that as has been done has been done! Do not act in THAT manner again, see?
-
(Q) What should the body do under the present circumstances, now? (A) That as the bidding of the own consciousness directs, as given. As regarding pregnancy, that as has been outlined for the better physical conditions of the body. Do that.
-
We are through with this reading.
