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 #23
The Function of Innate Intelligence.
The function of Innate Intelligence is to adapt Universal forces and matter for use in the body, so that all parts of the body will have coordinated action for mutual benefit.
In Other Words…
All energy is created by Universal Intelligence. This new energy “waits” in the universe, until assigned a purpose. Enter… Innate Intelligence! The Intelligence of living beings, it takes some of this free-floating energy, gives it the ability to adapt to the environment, and organizes it into YOU!
For Instance…
How was the galaxy formed? Many scientists believe that at some point, the universe was an infinite uniform space. Energy was there, although not visible to the eye. They believe that following “The Big Bang”, an Intelligence organized some of this “unclaimed” energy, into our galaxy.
As Applied To You…
Every one of your cells is comprised of even smaller parts, including a nucleus, ribosome and lysosome. Each part has its own function. Your Innate Intelligence created every cell by taking non-living energy in the universe, and combining it into a living cell, with adaptive abilities that the cell itself will use.
– Ralph W Stephenson D C 1927
