We continue with the revelation of the 33 Chiropractic Principles introduced to us by Dr. Ralph W. Stephenson, DC back in 1927. Today we reveal principles 16-25 where the functions of matter and innate intelligence are examined.
1. The Major Premise – A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
2. The Chiropractic Meaning of Life – The expression of this intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic meaning of life.
3. The Union of Intelligence and Matter – Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and matter.
4. The Triune of Life – Life is a triunity having three necessary united factors, namely: Intelligence, Force and Matter.
5. The Perfection of the Triune – In order to have 100% Life, there must be 100% Intelligence, 100% Force, 100% Matter.
6. The Principle of Time – There is no process that does not require time.
7. The Amount of Intelligence in Matter – The amount of intelligence for any given amount of matter is 100%, and is always proportional to its requirements.
8. The Function of Intelligence – The function of intelligence is to create force.
9. The Amount of Force Created by Intelligence – The amount of force created by intelligence is always 100%.
10. The Function of Force – The function of force is to unite intelligence and matter.
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.
12. Interference with Transmission of Universal Forces – There can be interference with transmission of universal forces.
13. The Function of Matter – The function of matter is to express force.
14. Universal Life – Force is manifested by motion in matter; all matter has motion, therefore there is universal life in all matter.
15. No Motion without the Effort of Force – Matter can have no motion without the application of force by intelligence. 16. Intelligence in both Organic and Inorganic Matter
Universal Intelligence gives force to both organic and inorganic matter.
If Universal Force is universal, which it is, it is impossible for any matter to be where Universal Force is not. Organic matter is but inorganic matter built (organized) into structures, and has its quota of Universal Forces. It should be kept in mind, however, that they are fully under the control of Innate Intelligence; that is to say adapted. 17. Cause and Effect
Every effect has a cause, and every cause has effects.
It is evident that one could not exist without the other. There could be no reason for the existence of a cause, if it did not have effects. It is an axiom, that there could not be an effect without causing it. 18. Evidence of Life
The Signs of Life are evidence of the Intelligence of Life.
They are motions of the adaptive kind which show the presence and government of localized intelligence. They differ from the motions of universal forces, in that they show selection and the judgement of local intelligence in every phase. They meet, use, or oppose every environmental circumstance, if it is within the range of their limitations. There are five principle signs of life. Their names in order of importance are: assimilation, excretion, adaptability, growth, and reproduction. An organism may have these signs so latent that it is difficult to tell whether the organism is alive or not. Yet this low organism has its share, its quota, the requisite amount of intelligence for its state of organization. 19. Organic Matter
The material of the body of a “living thing” is organized matter.
Organized matter is structures of molecules and atoms which have been assembled for the purpose of functioning adaptively. They are structures of molecules and atoms which have been assembled for the purpose of functioning adaptively. They are structures that have been built by their innate to house them (the innate). They are, therefore, under the solicitous care of those intelligences, the same as any house would be under the care of its owner. The house of an innate intelligence is built and “kept in repair” by its owner. The structure is precious to the intelligence that built it, but it is not precious as a structure to Universal Intelligence, except insofar as it is a part of the Universal scheme to have structures built in order to tear them down. 20. Innate Intelligence
A “living thing” has an inborn intelligence within its body, called Innate Intelligence.
It is the local intelligence which has built a house for itself and keeps that house in repair, and is the intelligence to which the condition of the structure is of supreme importance.
No one will deny that it requires intelligence to build a body. It cannot be denied that it takes intelligence to build even a tissue cell. No scientist, however clever, has been able to do it and never will, for it is the task for The Infinite.
It must be remembered that infinity is in a tissue cell just as much as in stellar space. It cannot be done by man, no matter how efficient his laboratories are.
The cells and the bodies are built according to a plan. It takes an infinitely wise Architect to make those plans.
Though scientists have studied anatomy and histology for centuries, their knowledge of the body leaves as much unexplored as the Darkest Africa before it was explored. 21. The Mission of Innate Intelligence
The mission of Innate Intelligence is to maintain the material of the body of a “living thing” in active organization.
It is the ambition of Innate Intelligence to build the body and keep it actively organized. 22. The Amount of Innate intelligence
There is one hundred per cent of Innate Intelligence in every living thing.
The “Quantity” of Innate Intelligence in one thing may not be as much as the “Quantity” in another living thing, but it is the requisite amount, hence one hundred per cent for that thing. 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 coordinate action for mutual benefit.
Everything in the universe has a purpose and that purpose is its function.
Obviously, Innate Intelligence, being in the universe, has a purpose. Objects of inorganic matter do not need adaptation, so they have no special attention from Universal Intelligence. This special attention is given to certain units of matter, by Universal Intelligence, and the name of this special attention is Innate Intelligence.
Innate Intelligence, the law of organization, continually coordinates the forces and materials within the organism to keep it actively organized.
Innate takes elements of no adaptive character, puts them together. “investing with new character,” and now a new structure is brought into being, and is so maintained. Nothing less than intelligence could do this. It is all accomplished, not by creating new forces and matter “out of nothing,” but “investing” what is already existing with new character. Thus the natural energies within the body are assembled and made to do work of organization.
In this light, then Innate Intelligence is the intelligence within the organism, which systematizes the forces already there; it is, scientifically speaking, the principle of organization. Its creations are forces systematized adaptively, and materials built into intelligently planned forms. 24. The Limits of Adaptation
Innate Intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body as long as it can do so without breaking universal law, or Innate Intelligence is limited by the limitations of matter.
It is evident that extreme adaptation cannot be made for the body. Adaptation of matter can only be to the point where molecules and atoms must obey physical and chemical laws. Innate can manage these laws up to a certain point by manipulation, but can not change or destroy them. She can only use them to the limits of matter. 25. The Character of Innate Forces.
The forces of Innate never injure or destroy the tissues in which they work.
The forces of Innate are constructive – not destructive.
That something which travels over nerves, which is arranged in cyclic form, is really an intelligent current of life. This life shows that it is an adaptable law, able to make instantaneous changes according to environmental conditions of a tissue cell. None, but the creator can change a law, make laws, or circumvent physical laws, so the life current must be a force directly from Law itself.
What is in the living, which a moment after, is not in the dead? What has gone that has kept these molecules and atoms together in a unit of life, which is able to show manifestations of intelligence, sensibility, and signs of life? Mental force, that which flows over nerves to their peripheral ending. This force or message is specific for the momentary needs of a tissue cell. It must therefore be more highly organized force than that given to molecules and atoms.
