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 #16

Intelligence in both Organic and Inorganic Matter

Universal Intelligence gives force to both organic and inorganic matter.

In Other Words…

Universal Intelligence creates atoms, the building blocks of all organic and inorganic things. Universal Intelligence also creates force, whose job it is to organize atoms into matter. Universal force, therefore, is present within all matter.

For Instance…

Universal Intelligence creates the laws of physics and chemistry, by organizing and giving purpose to free-floating particles in the universe. These forces then organize particles into organic and inorganic “things.”

As Applied To You…

Is your beating heart made of the same “stuff” as a heart that’s not alive? Yes. Both are made of the same physical matter, and contain the same forces that helped organize this matter into a heart. The atoms, and these forces, were created by Universal Intelligence.
