Measuring the Mental Impulse

Some have suggested that the” footprint” of the mental impulse can be measured, However they are not measuring the footprint but the shoeprint. They are measuring a partial “physical representation” of the foot. The foot is inside the shoe. It may be helpful in giving us an idea of the length and width of the … Read more

Species Intelligence? Q&A #49

Some have suggested that there appears to be species or behavior intelligence. It is not universal intelligence because universal intelligence acts the same on all matter. It is not innate intelligence because , whatever it is , it often causes matter to act in a manner contrary to its own best interest and innate intelligence … Read more

Further thoughts on partial death:

Vertebral Subluxation leads to interference with the mental impulse causing a lack of intelligent active organization. (is that phrase redundant?) We must keep in mind that in chiropractic we are dealing with two kinds of life, universal life (existence, Principles #1,2) and innate life (biological life, Principle #20).

From that principle we can conclude that death is the separation of the intelligence and the matter. We know that in our present system. Principle No. 2 is referring to universal life or existence, in that sense death (as … Read more

But inasmuch as most state boards are trying to place chiropractic into the medical model, they may require one now or in the near future. I have created one that I think … Read more

A Reader asks: Is the ADIO concept uniquely chiropractic? No, not in my opinion. While the idea of chiropractic as ADIO was first given to us by BJ, chiropractic can be practiced from an ADIO viewpoint ( NTOSC) or from an outside-in perspective (therapeutic). Many other things beside chiropractic can be seen from an ADIO … Read more

Mechanism vs Mechanics

Mechanism is a philosophy Mechanics is a physical, observable, measurable (within the limits of our science) activity. Mechanism says that mechanics is all that there is. Its existence is a product of time plus chance and our ability to observe it. Vitalism says that there is something else, not physical, something that is immaterial but … Read more

Thank you Sir Isaac

According to Bruce Lipton, PhD, Newtonian Physics maintains that force and matter are not the same. Quantum Physics, on the other hand, maintains that energy and matter are two aspects of the same entity, just in different forms. Newton’s model separated matter, force, and intelligence. Some in chiropractic seem to be embracing the new physics … Read more
