No Blame, No Reasoning, No Argument
These are some powerful words to consider as we move forward in our lives, spoken by a wise, kind and loving soul.
“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.” –Thich Nhat Hanh

The Chiropractic Principles (continued)
The Chiropractic Principles :
Yesterday I posted the Major Premise of the Chiropractic Principles. Following are some of the secondary principles:
The expression of this Intelligence through matter is the chiropractic meaning of life.
Life is a Triune having three necessary united factors, namely, Intelligence, Force and Matter.
In order to have 100% Life, there must be 100% Intelligence, 100% Force, 100% Matter.
A living thing has an Inborn Intelligence within its body, called Innate Intelligence.
The mission of Innate Intelligence is to maintain the material body in active organization.
There is 100% of Innate Intelligence in every living thing, the required amount, proportional to its organization. The amount of force created by Intelligence is always 100%.
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 coordinated action for mutual benefit.
Innate Intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body, but is limited by the limitations of matter.
The forces of Innate Intelligence will never injure or destroy the structures in which they work.
The forces of Innate Intelligence operate through or over the nervous system in animal bodies.
There can be interference with the transmission of Innate Forces.
Interference with the transmission of Innate Forces causes dis-ease.

The Chiropractic Principles
“Chiropractic has many basic principles upon which all its philosophy, art and science is based. Those listed here are some of the most important. They have guided the profession since its earliest development. some of them are almost universally accepted. Others are just beginning to find acceptance with other sciences. These principles follow a simple progression of deductive logic. If you accept the major premise, the other principles fall into place almost automatically.” Terry A. Rondberg, D.C.
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.

Warning
“If you rush to take it (a new drug), do so with the full knowledge that you are being a guinea pig. The longer a drug is on the market, the more will be known about the side effects.” Robert S. Mendelsohn, M. D.

Chiropractic Concern
“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.” B.J. Palmer, D.C.

Innate and Chiropractic
“Chiropractors adjust subluxations, relieving pressure from the nerves so that they can perform their functions in a normal manner. The Innate can and will do the rest.” BJ Palmer
Innate Intelligence
“Innate is an individualized portion of the ALL-WISE usually known as spirit.” B.J. Palmer, D.C.

Deepak Chopra, M.D.
“Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies…our own inner intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside.” Deepak Chopra, M.D.
