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 #8
The Function of Intelligence.
The function of Intelligence is to create force.
In Other Words…
Your body’s Intelligence follows a certain set of natural scientific laws, or forces. How do these laws, become laws in the first place?! By Intelligence. Intelligence takes unorganized energy in the universe-in the form of free-floating particles-and organizes it into purposeful forces. Wow!
For Instance…
Following a hot summer’s day rain, what do you see, rising from the pavement? Steam. What exactly is steam? Evaporation! And how did evaporation come into effect? By Intelligence! Intelligence created the force of evaporation by giving organization and purpose to previously unorganized energy.
As Applied To You…
Your nervous system is an amazing network of nerve “highways”, through which messages travel between your brain and every cell, tissue and organ. The movement of messages throughout nerves is propelled by force; force was created by Intelligence.
