1. EC: We have those conditions as surround this body. As we find, these are to prove very severe, and a taxing of all the physical attributes of the body, as well as requiring as near as will be possible - an exercising of the mental towards constructive forces, if there would be brought the closer association of the spiritual being with this present abode.
2. While these may require many efforts, if it is possible to get a response, so that there is a sincere desire on the part of the mental being, to wish, desire, and to DEMAND that there be a continuation of the experience in the present, resuscitating forces may be added in the physical so as to bring about an awakening towards a nominalcy.
3. The operative forces under which the body still labors were well advised, as we find, that there might be a cutting off of the establishing of destructive forces within the living organism, that had begun to manifest themselves in the structural forces, and in the portions of the system as were apparent.
4. As to the causes of these, as WE find, from infectious forces from broken cellular tissue, as produceed by those of an external nature, as well as the mental attitude that was gradually builded by the body.
5. As to those ministrations that are being given, we would not alter these - save as to add that which would induce a better oxidization, or releasing more oxygen; for there would be the necessary elements in same that resuscitating forces may be enlivened to that degree as to bring about a better channel through which the mental and spiritual forces may keep the equilibrium between the physical forces and that which makes for life itself in a human or material body.
6. These, as we find, may be added in small quantities of
2098-1 Page 2
the animated or carbon ash, with the use of the ultra-violet with same. This, to be sure, will be found then necessary to add to those applications for a more normal carrying on of the life forces in the blood stream itself, and lessening the stress that is being made on the portions of the body in the functioning of the organs of the circulatory system, as related both to the heart and respiratory system, as well as the organs that make for the clarification and the oxidization of used or impelling forces that are active in resuscitation of life itself in a physical body.
7. These, then - the ash, would be given once each day, one-eighth grain in water - preferably carbonated water, or half and half; that is, half plain and half carbonated, or a tablespoonful of each and the eighth grain put either in the water or on the tongue of the body.
8. Every other day we would apply the ultra-violet ray to the solar plexus area, in the cerebrospinal system, at least thirty minutes (not longer) after the dosage of the ash has been given.
9. The rest of the applications, the care and nursing that has been had and that is being ministered, these we would keep. This alone we would add.
10. As for that which will awaken the mental reactions, these - as is seen, it is necessary that there be the resuscitating forces awakened in the very BEST of conditions, and these may be done most by those who have caused, or may have reason for those causes of bringing about a reaction, in some outside influences that have had to do with the experience of the body. These we would do.
11. In the matter of the diet - in the matter of those things that will make for the resuscitating influences in and about the body, these we would alter very little, if any, until at least there is that resuscitation begun which will make for a more anxiousness in the physical, in the mental, to combine their usage in the present experience.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Please explain more clearly how to awaken the mental. (A) Those that are applying know! They know the surroundings and the conditions! They do not wish them paraded!
14. (Q) How long has this condition been present? (A) The condition from which it is suffering at present has only been since it became acute, and necessary for the conditions to be brought about - for the effects of the operation is a portion of that from which it is suffering in the present. That is known! It has been a growth since those influences from the outside brought the breaking up of

the cell forces, as has been given. Two and a half years. Do this as we have outlined. Then we may aid in giving that which will be helpful in the future.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Brother-in-law " " Cayce file " " Ass'n file (5/9/32 GD's note: Animated or carbon ash may be obtained from Franklin Bradley, 2632 So. Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. Or from his son, B. H. Bradley, 5443 Maryland Ave., Chicago, Ill.)
