- The Major Premise: There is a Universal Intelligence in all matter, constantly giving to
it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
o This principle posits a universal intelligence or life force that governs all living
things. - The Chiropractic Meaning of Life: The expression of this intelligence through matter is
the Chiropractic meaning of life.
o Life is the expression of this universal intelligence through living organisms. - The Union of Intelligence and Matter: Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and
matter.
o Life combines the intelligence of the universe with physical matter. - The Triune of Life: Life is a triunity, having three necessary factors, namely,
Intelligence, Force, and Matter.
o Life consists of three essential components: intelligence, force (energy), and
matter (physical substance). - The Perfection of the Triune: In order to have 100% Life, there must be 100%
Intelligence, 100% Force, 100% Matter.
o To achieve optimal health, there must be full expression of intelligence, force, and
matter in the body. - The Principle of Time: There is no process that does not require time.
o Healing and adaptation take time; there are no instant solutions. - 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.
o Each living organism possesses the full intelligence necessary for its functions
and needs. - The Function of Intelligence: The function of intelligence is to create force.
o Intelligence generates the necessary energy (force) to carry out the functions of
living organisms. - The Amount of Force Created by Intelligence: The amount of force created by
intelligence is always 100%.
o The intelligence within living organisms always generates the full amount of
force needed for life. - The Function of Force: The function of force is to unite intelligence and matter.
o Force brings together intelligence and matter to create life and enable its
expression. - 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.
o Universal forces follow consistent physical laws and operate without bias or
concern for individual structures. - Interference with Transmission of Universal Forces: There can be interference with
transmission of universal forces.
o Interference with the transmission of universal forces, often caused by vertebral
subluxations, can disrupt the body’s functions. - The Function of Matter: The function of matter is to express force.
o Matter serves as the medium through which force is expressed in the body. - Universal Life: Force is manifested by motion in matter; all matter has motion,
therefore, there is universal life in all matter.
o Life is manifested through motion, and since all matter exhibits motion, universal
life exists in everything. - No Motion Without the Effort of Force: Matter can have no motion without the
application of force by intelligence.
o Motion in matter requires the application of force by intelligence. - Intelligence in Both Organic and Inorganic Matter: Intelligence is in both organic and
inorganic matter.
o Intelligence is present in both living and non-living matter. - The Cause of Dis-ease: The cause of dis-ease is any interference with the transmission
of universal forces.
o Disruption of the transmission of universal forces, often due to vertebral
subluxations, is the cause of disease. - The Function of the Chiropractor: The function of the chiropractor is to locate, analyze
and correct vertebral subluxations.
o Chiropractors identify and correct vertebral subluxations to remove interference
with the transmission of universal forces and promote health. - The Principle of Normality: The principle of normality is that every living thing has
certain inherent properties or qualities called normality.
o Normality refers to the natural state of health and function inherent in all living
organisms. - The Law of Demand and Supply: The law of demand and supply governs the normal
functioning of all body tissues.
o Tissues function optimally when there is a balance between the demand for, and
supply of, vital elements. - The Law of Demand and Supply Governs the Body: The law of demand and supply
governs the body in its ideal performance of all functions.
o The body functions optimally when there is a balance between the demand for,
and supply of, vital elements. - The Limits of Adaptation: The limits of adaptation are exceeded by limits of matter.
o The body can only adapt to a certain extent before its limits are exceeded and
disease or dysfunction occurs. - The Law of Compensation: The body is always trying to maintain a normal state.
o The body continually strives to maintain balance and health despite internal and
external challenges. - The Law of Transformation of Forces: The forces of Universal Intelligence are
manifested as physical laws; they are unswerving and unadapted, but can be adapted
through the Universal Intelligence.
o Universal forces, while unswerving and unadapted, can be adapted to specific
circumstances by the intelligence inherent in living organisms. - The Law of Harmony: The forces of Universal Intelligence are always in harmony with
the forces of Universal Energy.
o The intelligence that governs the universe ensures harmony between the forces at
work. - The Law of Cycles: The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested in cycles.
o Natural processes and phenomena occur in cyclical patterns. - The Law of Unity: The forces of Universal Intelligence operate through all matter,
constantly giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
o Universal intelligence permeates all matter, giving it its properties and sustaining
its existence. - The Law of Succession: The forces of Universal Intelligence are transmitted through
force and matter, and are constantly being applied in succeeding units of matter, in their
order of rank and value.
o Universal forces are transmitted through force and matter and are applied in a
hierarchical order. - The Law of Coordination: The forces of Universal Intelligence coordinate the units of
matter and living organisms.
o Universal intelligence coordinates the functions of all living organisms and their
components. - The Law of Similarity: The forces of Universal Intelligence are transmitted from one
unit of matter or living organism to another by the law of similarity.
o Universal forces are transmitted between units of matter or living organisms that
share similarities. - The Law of the Nervous System: The function of the nervous system is to control and
coordinate the actions of the body.
o The nervous system regulates and coordinates bodily functions. - The Law of Gravity: The law of gravity is the force of attraction between two bodies.
o Gravity is a fundamental force that governs the attraction between objects with
mass. - The Law of Adaptation: The forces of Universal Intelligence adapt Universal Forces
and matter for use in
