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 #11

The Character of Universal Forces.

The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested by physical laws; are unswerving and unadapted, and have no solicitude for the structures in which they work.

In Other Words…

Universal Intelligence is often destructive in nature. And, it is what it is, without adapting. It organizes whatever forces it needs to, to achieve its ultimate goal, with no solicitude, or concern, for the actual “thing” at its mercy. If its effects are harsh, then so be it; its focus remains on the bigger picture.

For Instance…

Many scientists believe we are headed for another Ice Age. Why would Universal Intelligence allow such destruction to happen? Scientists would state it is Universal Intelligence’s role in renewing the earth. Before renewal is possible, conditions on the earth must be brought to extremes.

As Applied To You…

A subluxation occurs when a vertebra misaligns, placing pressure upon the nerves; the dis-ease process has begun. Why doesn’t your body’s Intelligence simply fix it?! A subluxation is a destructive Universal Force; your body’s Intelligence is unable to adapt.Only a chiropractor can help!
