Is setting and visualizing goals (for the purpose of impressing upon your educated) consistent with chiropractic philosophy? It is educated, not innate hence it can be good educated or bad. Good if it is within your ability and bad if it is beyond your limitations (of ability/matter and time), causing physiological stress. It seems to me that if it is within your ability, you need not set it as a goal or visualize-just get to work! What do you think?
The fact that something is within the realm of possibility does not mean that is on one’s current path. While our ii takes care of our needs on an instant by instant basis, it does not plan ahead and prepare for every possible future need. One reason we have a well developed ei is to plan for possible contingencies instead of living moment to moment. Goal setting would seem to be a part of that, i.e. recognizing the possibilities that exist in the future and choosing to pursue one of those possibilities.
Even if a goal turns out to be outside one’s limitations it has merit in that it provides information for the ei to use to make future decisions. Physiological stress may be the negative sanction required to motivate further consideration.
When I locate an innate reducing subluxation, my goal is to remove it. I visualize the bone in a more proper alignment according to my analysis. Then I adjust. Does this impress upon my educated mind? I hope so. This may be more technique than philosophy but the philosophy motivates the technique.
Upon reflection I have decided this is a trick question.
Your asking me to use my EI to decide if using my EI to program my EI is philosophically sound. Well, educated intelligence is accumulated knowledge, so if we accumulate enough knowledge to enhance our use of the knowledge we accumulate in order to accumulate more knowledge then we are making the best use of all that accumulated knowledge.
It took an educated mind to ask that question, I wish I had enough education to answer it.
I think you are assuming that I am intelligent enough to ask a trick question.
