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.
17
Cause and Effect.-Every effect has a cause and every cause has effects.
18
Evidence of Life.-The signs of life are evidence of the intelligence of life.
19
Organic Matter.-The material of the body of a “living thing” is organized matter.
20
Innate Intelligence.-A “living thing” has an inborn intelligence within its body, called Innate Intelligence.
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.
22
The Amount of Innate Intelligence.-There is 100% of Innate Intelligence in every “living thing,” the requisite amount, proportional to its organization.
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 co-ordinated action for mutual benefit.
24
The Limits of Adaptation.-Innate Intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body as long as it can do so without breaking a universal law, or Innate Intelligence is limited by the limitations of matter.
25
The Character of Innate Forces.-The forces of Innate Intelligence never injure or destroy the structures in which they work.
26
Comparison of Universal and Innate Forces.-In order to carry on the universal cycle of life, Universal forces are destructive, and Innate forces constructive, as regards structural matter.
27
The Normality of Innate Intelligence.-Innate Intelligence is always normal and its function is always normal.
28
The Conductors of Innate Forces.-The forces of Innate Intelligence operate through or over the nervous system in animal bodies.
29
Interference with Transmission of Innate Forces.-There can be interference with the transmission of Innate forces.
30
The Causes of Dis-ease.*-Interference with the transmission of Innate forces causes incoordination or dis-ease.
31
Subluxations.-Interference with transmission in the body is always directly or indirectly due to subluxations in the spinal column.
32
The Principle of Coordination.-Coordination is the principle of harmonious action of all the parts of an organism, in fulfilling their offices and purposes.
33
The Law of Demand and Supply.-The Law of Demand and Supply is existent in the body in its ideal state; wherein the “clearing house,” is the brain, Innate the virtuous “banker,” brain cells “clerks,” and nerve cells “messengers.”
