The 33 Principles Series
Every month we are featuring one of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic that were published by Ralph W. Stephenson D.C. in 1927 in a book called “The Chiropractic Textbook”. Even today these principles are central to chiropractic. Whilst some of the language is a bit old the principles remain solid. Consider the principle of this month and discuss it with us when you visit the practice.
Here’s to a greater understanding of life and health.
Chiropractic Principle #1
A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
Universal Laws, like those of physics and chemistry, are responsible for the existence of everything. What directs the laws in the first place?! Universal Intelligence: the Intelligence that creates and organizes the smallest particles of matter, into being and doing. It is constant, in all things.
For Instance…
A rock! How does a rock come into existence? How does it take its shape and form? A rock is made of atoms, vibrating at certain frequencies and organized in a specific way, to give it its “rock” properties. Universal Intelligence is behind a rock’s existence; it allows a rock, to keep being a rock!
As Applied To You…
Consider the creation of YOU! What are you made of? Ultimately, you are made of the same “stuff” as a rock! In your most simple physical form, you are made of atoms: the building blocks of your physical self. Since Universal Intelligence created these atoms, Universal Intelligence is in you.
