LAW OR STATUTES?
LAW:
That universal, unital and mortal understanding and
knowledge, which is stable, permanent, fixed, inflexible, a
constant thru all time, in all things.
STATUTES:
Those changing outside written ant printed rules and
regulations, fluctuating from time to time, place to place,
flexible and variable, to meet ever shifting theories of educated
man which he thinks best to fit into and regulate the lives of
other peoples from outside-in, below-upward: fixing as crimes
and penalties, violations of such, from time to time and place
to place, as subjected to the caprices of interpretations of one
man in high places or a group of men elected to enforce them.

PROLOGUE
In the beginning, God, the LAW of the Universe. The SAME
LAW in all units, it creates, vegetable or animal. The SAME LAW
circumvents abnormal conditions as best it can. The SAME LAW
personifies itself in quadrupeds and bipeds of the vertebrata,
species and families, IF all channels of communication are open,
free and clear of impediments, obstructions, hurdles or
interferences in its paths.
In the beginning, God man being one creation. Medicine, per
se, is supposed to scientifically do from outside what God
cant do from inside of man. Educated medical men and scien-
tific medicine, with test-tubes, microscopes and laboratories with
endless compounds, deny the cult tenets of abilities of a Su-
preme Internal function.
God, no matter how defined, is omnipresent, omniscient,
omnipotent, INSIDE of man in THE CREATION OF MAN.
Where is this IN man, if it is IN man at all? If it is, this all
pervading INTERNAL power must be recognized and established
as a dominant factor in healing WITH man, sick or well.
All space, all time, all things that grow, produce, reproduce,
and live are governed BY LAW. And yet, medical men, by insig-
nificant EDUCATION, ARE INTOLERANT OF THIS FACTOR
IN ADMITTING its place functionally INTERNAL to run man.
They substitute accumulations of OUTSIDE theories to try to
prove man MUST BE directed to live by OUTSIDE experimental
impractical ideas of medical men who have lived no longer or
know no more than he who is sick.
It HAS required the sage of ages, in depth of intelligence to
REPRODUCE the human race. It requires THE SAME quantity
and quality of intellectuality to PRODUCE each human being. It
requires THE SAME breadth of reasoning to direct, control,
regulate and govern INTERNAL functions in each unit once born.
Man is conceived, born, lives a few years, dies and in spite of
what he blindly thinks he sees, pits his 50 years of education
against millions of lives, with aeons of time, working thru billions
of products.
[ 12 ]
Over and above, back and in behind ALL power and its
expressions in a body, is that something which no man has even
seen, felt, tasted, heard or directly sensedthat GREAT UN-
KNOWN SOURCEthe Universal Intelligence and its fragment
of the whole in unitsInnate Intelligence.
This unreachable and untouchable IS limited in second-handed
privileges, extended to educated man to use, if used constructively.
He should be in tune with the Infinite within. His boasted medical
education comes a blank at birth, which he unfolds by Involutions
from outside-in, below-upwards within limitations but which
Evolution from above-down, inside-out he CAN NEVER
DIRECT, GOVERN OR CONTROL as IT relates to inner life
within that body.
This Internal Governing Director, or Master Control, SUPER-
IMPOSES its intent, purpose and design INTO every mental
impulse nerve force flow, directing it WHERE to go, WHAT to do
WHEN it arrives, WHEN to come and go, HOW MUCH to do
upon arrival; WHEN to work and WHEN to rest; adapting Itself to
ALL internal necessities as well as external environmental
conditions. Educated man cannot divert, pervert, side-track,
circumvent, add to or subtract from this by external artificial
means.
Why should man ignore INTERNAL INNATE
INTELLIGENCE HE IS BORN WITH? Religiously he affirms it.
Medically he denies it. The chiropractor AFFIRMS IT AS A
LIVING ENTITY, conceding its exclusive ability to restore
abnormal to normal, sickness to health, regarding IT as the SOLE
SOURCE in the beginning, during life, capable of bringing back
health when interfered with in the one only kind of sickness IT
knows. When insanity exists, WHERE does SANITY come from?
Where is SOURCE of sanity when it returns?
Dr. George Crile, Jr., in his book CANCER AND COMMON
SENSE, says:
No one knows what a living cell is, or what life itself is.
All we know is that life is change, life is growth.
Since the time the sperm and ovum meet, the fertilized egg
begins to grow. What makes one egg cell grow into a chicken,
another into a frog, another into a man? What makes the hand
of a baby grow? It grows into the hand of a man and then it
stops growing. What makes it stop growing? That is the
mystery of growth.
Too often THE PATIENT sells THE CHIROPRACTOR
DISEASE and, THE CHIROPRACTOR sells THE PATIENT
DISEASE, when
[ 13 ]
THE CHIROPRACTOR should be selling THE PATIENT the
when where, how and why to get well from above-down,
inside-out.
Is it sane judgment to revere God on Sunday and deny the
Kingdom of God is within you other six days of the week? Is
this statement orthodoxy or heterodoxy? If so, why? If it is
admitted to be internalNATURE cures how can it medically
be denied? WHY is it necessary chiropractors be compelled to
reaffirm here and now that which is obvious? Answer is simple!
Only because there IS a so-called scientific medical profession
which calls such a cult. If such it be, then so be it!
[ 14 ]
PREFACE
The value of any talk is its simplicity as it presents a profound,
comprehensive and far-reaching explanation into some unexplored
solution of a mystery of living man.
Thru years we have presented many phases to our profession.
We helped to resolve our chiropractic philosophy, science and art
to become simple and practical. We have seen chiropractors
become complexed, drifting FROM objectives of getting sick
people well, into foreign and unrelated fields. As we study transi-
tions, THEY were drifting AWAY FROM yet SKIRTING
AROUND the edges of something hidden and seemingly buried
which they couldnt grasp.
Somewhere THERE WAS one simple principle and practice
which the human race needed which could and would complete
our innermost knowledge IF WE COULD find that submerged
clarification and crystallize it. Whatever IS, can be explained of
what is.
If what we say IS expressive of basic reality, which none can
dispute or deny, it matters not what may be said against it or how
some chiropractors cast it lightly to one side, it will live and some
day have its rightful place in a better service to mankind.
Listening, reading, studying the full import of this presentation
WILL NOT be grasped on FIRST thinking. It NEEDS diligent
application to gain full understanding, to push back antique
horizons, premises SOME do NOT grasp at first. Even WE who
review our OWN, see new depths. If this occurs TO US, how
much more is it radically NEW to others, awakening greater
potentials which till now have remained hidden.
One JUST criticism that can be painfully made against this
book is, we repeat AND repeat, and keep on repeating the
SAME central theme until its repetition becomes boresome. We
admit this fault. This NEW LAW OF LIFE we tell IS SO SIMPLE
that ONCE SHOULD suffice. It rarely is, therefore the too
frequent and
[ 15 ]
maddening explanations in different ways, hoping to amplify the
SAME principle AND practice in the hopes eventually IT WILL
BECOME CLEARER UNTIL IT BECOMES A CONSISTENT
WORKING PRACTICE IN OUR PROFESSION to get sick people
well.
How true, our epigram:
WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAR REACHING
SOME THING WE MAY THINK, SAY OR
DO, TODAY, WILL AFFECT THE LIVES
OF MILLIONS TOMORROW

MENTAL STIMULATORS
By Carl Holmes
MASTERS OF OUR FATE
Our primitive ancestors were unaware of existing natural laws.
They loved and hated, feared and desired. Their days began with fears
and uncertainties and ended with doubts and terror. They were to a
considerable extent at the mercy of the environment in which they
lived.
Primitive man believed he was surrounded by evil spirits and to ap-
pease them or to outwit them and get what he wanted, he used magic
charms, professional priests and elaborate rituals.
None of these could be relied upon and one day memory came to
his aid. Something happened and he recalled that this had happened to
him before under similar circumstances.
Suddenly it came to him that he might reproduce the same effect
by setting up the same conditions which had resulted in the previous
experience. By experimentation he proved to himself that nothing
happens without a cause.
For the first time reason told him that all actions have con-
sequences. By examining causes and effects, new worlds were opened
up to him. This was how the law of cause and effect was discovered.
MANS MASTERY BEGINS
The discovery of that first law stimulated primitive man to search
for other laws which he could use to his advantage. Knowing one law
he had reason to believe there were others. The issues of life were no
longer entirely in the hands of forces outside himself.
Today most of us realize it is usually our fault when we let things
happen to us. We know that we live in a world governed by laws and
that nothing happens without a cause or a sufficient reason. More and
more we have learned all actions have consequences, and causes,
effects and consequences are inseparable.
[ 17 ]
Everything has a sufficient cause for being what it isour health,
our success and our place in the world in which we live. All of us have
a laboratory for conducting our scientific experiments. We can study
ourselves, neighbors, fellow-workers and our relationships with others
where we are.
If we are not satisfied with what we find, we take steps to improve
our situation by the elimination of those things which are responsible
and by substituting those things which would make our lives more
satisfying.
SOW WITH HARVEST IN MIND
We cant beat the law of cause and effect. What goes into the past
has got to come out of the future. What we sow we must eventually
reap. But we can start today to plant seeds of a better life for
ourselves.
We can never hope to know all laws, nor can we understand all
mysteries which govern both body and mind.
But we can understand enough to be, to a very great extent,
masters of our fate.
I am convinced by replacing negative, destructive and un-
wholesome thoughts with constructive, courageous and helpful
thoughts, we can improve our health, relationships with others and
chances for success and happiness. Control of mind is very often
control of causes.
Let us open our minds and discipline our thoughts and actions, that
we may better understand Gods laws and become more efficient
workers and masters of our fate.

CHAPTER I
THE LAW OF INNATE INTELLIGENCE
(a) Is Innate Intelligence A PART OF or APART FROM Universal
Intelligence?
(b) When Innate Intelligence ENTERS a new born babe, where
does it COME FROM? When Innate Intelligence LEAVES a mortal
body, WHERE does it GO?
(c) In his eagerness TO KNOW more about what is OUTSIDE of
himself, man ponders, cogitates, meditates, and comes up with
answers which satisfy him.
In answer to (a)-Who knows?
(b)-That depends upon his religious concepts, beliefs, and faiths. It
might be to some imaginary upstairs somewhere; or down in some
imaginary cellar somewhere, depending upon the status of his
educational stipulations of good or bad, right or wrong, moral or
immoral conduct.
(c)-It enters with that first squeak after it leaves the material body
of the mother, when the material body of the babe ceases to be
materially DEpendent and becomes a living INDEpendent. Why, AT
birth? It might be born dead, or it might be still born, or maybe a
spanking made life possible.
It is fitting that, in the Wisdom of the Universal Intelligence in
creating all abstract INFINITE concepts, principles and practices, that
it HAS PLACED many issues BEYOND the reach, direction,
domination or control of the fluctuating, variable, and dominant minds
of men here below. If this were not so, petty, pecunious, and greedy
educational theories of millions of men would run the world ragged.
As it is, man is not content to let worlds be; he wants to explore and
get beyond them by violating all laws of space. Knowing LITTLE
about THE WORLD OF UNEXPLORED POTENTIALS WITHIN
HIMSELF, he still wants TO KNOW EVERYTHING about
everything BEYOND and OUTSIDE of himself.
(With these comments many will disagree. In our endeavors to
know truth, we aim to be realistic and factual. Whether we or others
be right or wrong, it makes no difference to Universal or Innate
Intelligence. They continue the same now as they have for millions of
years, in millions of people, BEFORE we are born,
[ 19 ]
WHILE we exist here a while, and LONG AFTER Innate takes that
long vacation from us.)
Our Answers
Because Chiropractic makes its interpretations practical and
workable, dealing with INNER life force, present, absent, and re-
stored, we often are asked:
HOW do YOU recognize Innate presence or absence?
WHAT can I DO to encourage Innate contacting ME?
HOW can I recognize an Innate thot-flash?
Answers are difficult to define, confine, understand, or explain
relationship between an unknown abstract QUALITY and a concrete
known QUANTITY and relationship between them.
Innate Intelligence is:
a. an abstract quality knowledge of know-how, using both
b. it takes raw SUBSTANCES and refines them
c. into MATERIAL shapes and forms
d. which, when systematized, organized, and co-ordinated,
e. assemble them into motion systems,
f. completing a totality of a unit;
g. passing THRU that unit
h. a flow of intelligent power, energy, and/or force
i. of ITS OWN manufacture
j. impregnates INTO each impulse A PLACE TO GO,
k. a quantity, quality, AND KIND of action to perform
1. when it arrives,
m. which individual motion, assembled with all other motions,
n. exhibits its Infinite know-how
o. in what we humble mortals call life.
Are physical properties OF MATTER all that matters? Is there
something beyond and above matter which predetermines life and
longevity, quantities and qualities of forms and patterns of matter of
LIVING human beings?
HAS INNATE SEX?
a. Innate produces male AND female, as we think of sex
b. both sexes prevail thruout all animal and vegetable forms
c. yet IT, as the abstract, is sexless
d. because IT, as one, PRODUCES both.
IS INNATE DIVISIBLE?
a. Is it RELIGIOUSLY the Kingdom of God, IN man?
b. Is it FUNCTIONALLY IN man, which makes him tick?
c. Is it EDUCATIONALLY what the great mass call nature?
d. Is it MEDICALLY unknown?
e. Is it called a cult, if, as, and when accepted?
[ 20 ]
f. Is it to scientific medicine,
g. a cipher with the rim knocked off?
h. Is it, in spite of ONE indivisibility,
i. artificially split into
j. ALL that man THINKS he wants OR needs?
k. It comes from WITHIN
l. from ABOVE-DOWN, INSIDE-OUT,
m. in spite of, not because of
n. his arbitrary sub-divisions.
o. Is it ALL that which man THINKS he wants or needs,
p. empirically leaping directly to A RELIGIOUS concept,
q. to the Great Unknown somewhere ABOVE?
(We do not belittle, disparage, or deny any or all processes of
adoration. We merely state the reality.)
HOW BROAD IS INNATE?
a. Innate possesses the GREAT ACCUMULATED KNOWLEDGE.
b. Average person doesnt know
c. whether this is or is not so.
d. To a few, there is an open door,
e. a sesame of understanding.
f. To the multitudes, they are deaf, dumb, and blind to its reality.
g. To the masses, there is a closed and locked door between.
h. Some let Innate CONTACT THEM
i. most skip to their super-educations
j. by-passing this Innate immaterial intermediate,
k. reaching somewhere, some way, up to some unknown,
1. something UP THERE
m. for the power of the Great I AM that I AM
n. to substitute and provide favors he pleads for
o. when all HE WANTS AND NEEDS IS WITHIN him.
Is Sleep Necessary?
At night, when education is blanked out, body is at rest.
Sleep is induced and produced when Innate withdraws ALL
activities of education, mentally and physically.
In sleep, educated MUST BE absent, non compos mentis.
Innate, however, NEVER sleeps.
It is alert, awake, at work, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes to the hour
and 60 seconds per minute, from moment of birth to moment of death.
Were it otherwise, we die!
Innate hears alarm clock and awakens education. Innate hears baby
cry for its dejeuner. Innate smells smoke and awakens education to put
out fire.
[ 21 ]
100 per cent COMPLETE NATURAL sleep accomplishes FAR
MORE internal constructive work than a 50 per cent sleep and 50 per
cent awake mixture.
Artificial DRUG-FORCED-SLEEP paralysis does not substitute or
make possible NATURAL sleep because Innate is forced to divert and
side-track forces to oppose effects of the drug.
If educated is PARTLY ASLEEP and PARTLY AWAKE, there is
a distorted interference disturbance flow BETWEEN Innate AND
educatedexaggerated dreams result.
With 100 per cent NATURAL sleep, Innate concentrates 100 per
cent of focalized recuperative, reconstructive, rebuilding forces to
INTERNAL physical necessities IT ALONE knows where, when, and
how much.
When tired we lie down to rest. Rest and relaxation are
equivalent terms.
Three to four hours of complete natural relaxation, even to
sleeping, ARE important following a Chiropractic adjustment. This
permits Innate to focalize muscular contractions TO SET AND
RESEAT minute micrometer relations of a subluxation beyond the
ken of education, even a Chiropractor.
Many people go to bed WITH a headache and wake up
WITHOUT it. Thats partially what occurs.
Want to Let Innate Contact You?
It is when education is more nearly or totally blanked out that
Innate gets in thot flashes, because education is less liable to argue,
debate, or deny them. (Thats why WE have pad and pencil by our
bedside.)
The yogis of India have the RIGHT principle, mentally.
The sincere yogi would make an excellent Chiropractor for getting
sick well IF he had knowledge and ability to correct the intermediary
adjustment to restore power of internal Innate, to perfect greater
understandings. Yogis assume what is, to each, the most RELAXED
posture, which they assume for hours or days. In this way, THEY
attain the peace and poise of plenty, and become In Tune With the
Infinite (Sheldon).
The yogi endeavors to induce a semi sleep, by prolonged
relaxation posture.
Mahatma (teacher) Ghandi used this principle when he taught his
people how to overcome their errors in breaking down 8,000
inconsistent castes including untouchables. He was a simple man,
with simple ways, thereby developing a great evolution.
[ 22 ]
(We are not advocating that chiropractors become yogis, altho
there IS a certain group in our ranks who need yogiism to overcome
ITS educated conflicts. We fear, however, they might even prostitute
the purity of yoga. There are honest as well as dishonest yogis who
peddle false philosophies, the same as some of our people peddle
dangerous techniques, to grab dollars.)
INNATE REACHES OUT
a. over into the finite
b. mind of educated man,
c. in what education crudely calls
d. intuitions, hunches, instincts, inspirations
e. which we prefer to call thot flashes FROM Innate
f. which sneak up on our educated blind side
g. slip in what THEY want YOU to know or do
h. which THEY hope you will accept, grasp, heed and do.
i. They come as thot-flash ideas, desires, intentions,
j. from a source above and beyond YOU
k. to help and encourage you
1. to be greater than education realizes.
INNATE MEMORIZES
a. receives, tabulates, file-indexes, and stores away
b. for future reference, recollection, and distribution,
c. EVERY impression and interpretation
d. it EVER has received
e. in all preceding existences
f. including OUR present one.
g. Its resources are exhaustless and endless;
h. its powers to think, act, and do are boundless
i. in times of great emergencies
j. in times of sickness and restoration of health.
k. It shapes destinies of a blade of grass
1. man and woman
m. and the universe,
n. thru aeons of time, space, and transformations of matter
o. otherwise you and we would not, could not be.
INNATE FLOWS DOWN
a. comes TO education
b. if, as, and when education
c. admits its inferiority,
d. admits Innates superiority,
e. humbles itself by comparison
f. as Innate deems education NEEDS direction,
g. heeding ITS thot flashes when they come
[ 23 ]
h. as they come.
i. Education needs be receptive, not repulsive
j. to its approaches.
(That is why and how the greater the all-encompassing under-
standing of man is, in his relation to greater things, the more humble
he becomes.)
INNATE IS SUFFICIENT
a. needs no instruction from education;
b. rejects interference, if such it be
c. abhors and ignores being told what, when and how to do.
d. Educational pleadings bolster education only by egotistic affir-
mation.
e. Educational pleadings do not change the master plan
f. which thinks, acts, and does to all alike, regardless of
g. creed, sect, denomination, country, or color.
h. It is in common to all peoples of the world, everywhere.
i. THAT evidence is plain IF
j. we reason factually and logically on facts and evidence.
k. It does not discriminate between peoples
l. in geography, color, faith, sex;
m. contrary to educational high and endless walls.
n. It produces functions common to all alike,
o. reproduces male and female common to all alike.
INNATE REGULATES ALL
a. It is that abstract, intangible, unseen
b. perfect, immaculate, infinite and infallible
c. regulatory factor all times, all ways.
d. As such, IT cannot be interfered with,
e. does not exist by virtue of any spoken language;
f. neither does it listen to the multiple babble of voices
g. asking for multiple contradictions.
h. However, its semi-materialistic product
i. (which it alone can and does produce)
j. such as electricity in space or
k. mental impulse or nerve force in humans
l. CAN BE interfered with
m. when IN AND FLOWING THRU material structures,
n. such as in and thru wires or motors, or
o. mental impulse thru nerves, because of
p. vertebral subluxations in man;
q. therefore, ALL functional perversions
r. become unnatural, abnormal
[ 24 ]
s. because of a middle MATERIAL intermediary,
t. the immaterial being diminished in matter only
u. BETWEEN source and non-source
v. in and thru which it exhibits
w. its intents and purposes for existence as life.
Innate vs. Educated
Education establishes endless complicated and complex, verbal,
written, and printed rules and regulations, rituals and credos we call
laws, which are but opinions of many men and women. After much
discussion, giving and taking, compromising and alternating, cutting
and fitting to please the great mass of the unwashed, in which they
almost totally ignore the Universal and Unital Sources, it results in
complicated and complex theories, confused rituals, ceremonies of the
multiplicity opinions eventually cut to fit man as MAN wants him to
be. Instead of Innate being educationally more man-like, man should
be more Innate-like. In spite of all misfitting, Innate Intelligence
consistently follows ITS OWN WAYS and productions in spite of all
men, not because of them. Regardless of mans educations to the
contrary, educations for educations sake are demanded and
commanded, the man himself, as is, is proof of the overpowering
influence of Innate within him.
Education exists for educations sake, hoping to produce more of
its educated conclusions and desires into reshaping man, which
continues to make mistakes by ignoring Innate which produced him.
(If these remarks appear unreasonable, harsh, caustic, and critical
of education per se, it is not because we condemn ALL education.
We only question the value of millions of educated mistakes and
blunders medical men have made for centuries and are continuing to
make when they deny and frustrate internal workings of Innate
Intelligence by trying to permit MEDICAL EDUCATIONS to reshape
Innates productions to meet his caprices in trying to shape man to
meet his concepts.)
(If medical men become unreasonable, harsh, caustic, and critical
of OUR remarks, it is because we have a greater, more practical and
workable knowledge of Innate Intelligence in ALL human beings,
which WE permit to do ITS WORK, ITS OWN WAY, when IT IS
FREE to do sowhich CHIROPRACTIC makes possible. )
If we were able to bequeath one virtue to every Chiropractor, we
would give him the joys of Innate, for without it the world would
stand still. The Innate man, hard to satisfy, moves forward. Educated
man satisfied with what he has done, moves backward.
[ 25 ]
CHAPTER II
THE PAST, PRESENT AND IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Fear not those who are able to destroy your body, but those who
can destroy Innate and its body. Emphasis is placed on the Innate of
man, THAT BEING THE REALITY; the mental and physical being
temporary.
Fear those who by usurped power have the means to destroy mans
reason, thereby making of man an unreasoning being, a robot or
zombi, preventing him from fulfilling his Divine destiny by making
Innate awakening impossible.
An unknown author made the statement that The purpose of a
book is to make people think. THE MISSION OF A BOOK IS TO
MAKE PEOPLE THINK, REASON, ANALYZE AND ACT
accordingly.
This presentation has in mind to offer information which, if
followed, will be of importance to themselves and humanity, who will
herein find means of saving themselves and others from unspeakable
horrors planned for them. These horrors are almost beyond description
and wholly incomprehensible to the average sane mind. By frank
admission of their advocates they are becoming general in the world.
A form of character assassination has become so general that when
an intelligent, sincere, honest, reasoning non-conformist writes a book
such as this about some incomprehensible and unreasonable behavior
or action, it is usually coupled with personal vilification, with the
reaction he has a bone to pick. Those who are laboring for the
welfare of humanity are no longer considered of importance unless
they are chastised and plagued by mental assassination.
In spite of prejudicial condemnation, if the one criticised discovers,
develops A LAW, no amount of unjust and severe censure can or will
offset the far reaching good his law is to mankind.
The Poet of The Sierras, living in his cottage in the mountains had
visitors. After looking over his home, and finding no library, they
asked where it was. His reply was: Books are written for people who
want to know. I WRITE THEM.
[ 26 ]
CHAPTER III
THE LAW OF NON-CONFORMITY
This talk will give you SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUTNOT
SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT.
Chiropractic was conceived by my father and developed by me, for
one ultimate unselfish life BUYING objective for the sick and the
unselfish health SELLING objective of the chiropractorTO GET
SICK PEOPLE WELL.
This WAS the obligation of my father. It has been our inherited
obligation we owe a sick human race. FUTURE rights of the sick to
get well are still vital.
Our profession has suffered from legal barriers of medical tyrants.
Each of us has suffered under those yokes. Should WE NOW become
tyrants by building legal technicalities to prevent sick people from
getting chiropractic by chiropractors? Often THE WORST tyrants
TODAY come from those who suffered most from tyranny
yesterday.
Its a sad commentary, the majority of people, including a
percentage of chiropractors, prefer to be conformists to what is
acceptable to the great mass. There exists fear of being a
nonconformist. Strong individuals are progressive and break from
unproven theories. History was and is made by non-conformists
regardless of fields they broke loose from. History is replete with
names who broke virgin territory. Go West young man and grow up
with the country. Majority of people are weak, insipid, taking paths
of least resistance. Chiropractic is as of today a modern non-
conformist principle and practice. Some of our people try to stagnate
it into educational and legislative conformist grooves, hobble it with
crutches, seeking external braces as a stabilizing substitute.
There are those amongst us who live outside the main stream of
contemporary life. They are not eccentric, rebellious, maladjusted or
unsuccessful. Some hidden umbilical cord attached them
[ 27 ]
to characteristic new paths in which the mind and its virtues play the
larger role. They feed themselves with facts. They seek truth. They
are tired of the endless struggle of failure. If one departs too far from
the norm, he is thot to be of questionable wisdom. If one conforms too
rigidly, one cant express new ideas courageously. Its one of the
prices you pay, either way.
A modern intellectual is specifically human, has an interest in the
rational mind and an ability to use it. As such, he is the most
important the human race can produce. Most people are parasites
living luxuriously on work produced by a handful of superior
non-conformist minds. This is in part true of our profession.
This subject is applicable to our profession! Anacin is advertised.
What is said is believed; people buy, take, thinking that is the
accepted thing to do, to conform to the dictates of society. Whether
good or bad, helpful or injurious, sick people dont know. The
physician says, therefore follow his instructions. Sick people are
conformists. They dont think or know different except thru bitter and
costly experience.
Chiropractors are people. Being human, they keep their ear to the
ground, listen to aches and pains, what the sick WANT. Some play
down to the grunts, groans and whims of patients. Sick people WANT
vitamins, so the chiropractor sells them. Patients suffer, so the
chiropractor (?) advises them to DO this, TAKE that. Its the path of
least resistance and the shortest end to getting patients in and out of
his office. Some chiropractors (?) are weak, sometimes are two of a
kind, like two peas in the same pod.
The chiropractor SHOULD BE a breaking plow, LEAD, not
FOLLOW, get out of medical ruts, explain to his clientele what
chiropractic can do medicine cannot do. SOME chiropractors (?)
dont know much more chiropractic than some patients. How CAN
one explain what HE doesnt know? Leaders in any new movement,
regardless of how good, are few and far between. We have some in
OUR ranks who think the way to lead the horse is to hang onto his tail
and push.
Sick people go to a Chiropractor (sign on the door) hoping he
HAS some NEW principle AND practice which WILL DO what
methods OF MEDICINE HAVE FAILED to do. Often the patient
finds little difference between a Chiropractors (?) office and
medical mans. Bottles of this and that, treating devices galore,
medical things tried by the patient and discarded as failures. To give
these, is the easiest way outfor the Chiropractor (?)and the
most expensive duplication of failure for the patient. It behooves sick
people to be discriminating. If you see and get same
[ 28 ]
methods given by medical menwalk out, refuse to waste time and
money. You MAY have to search, but seek LONG enuf and HARD
enuf, here and there, you WILL FIND A THOROLY INDOC-
TRINATED CHIROPRACTOR WORTHY OF ITS NAME AND
HIS REPUTATION GETTING YOU WELL.
In the chiropractic profession THERE IS ONE BASIC PRIN-
CIPLE, a common denominator, propounded by D. D. Palmer, the
discoverer, which most chiropractors talk about and advertise. In this
respect, the profession is in universal conformity. There are, however,
endless variables and diversions IN WHAT THEY PRACTICE, all
deviations being denied and denounced by D. D. Palmer. Many reject
the conformity of CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE, and accept and
indulge in failure medical treatment methods all of which are in
non-conformity with chiropractic.

CHAPTER IV
THE LAW OF EVIDENCE
EVIDENCE convinces understanding with logic, reason, fact,
proof of the reality of issues. EVIDENCE is simple because it is
obvious.
From the moment of birth of consciousness EVIDENCE is
present. The child senses, which is EVIDENCE of sense such as
seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. There is
consciousness of movement, EVIDENCE of muscular control,
direction, purpose and intent upon which all is predicated. The
body heats and cools itself, EVIDENCE of fact of which knowl-
edge is hardly aware. The living body drinks, eats, nourishes; urin-
ates and defecates. This too is EVIDENCE of LIVING action.
This, and much more, takes place WITHIN that living body.
EVIDENCE of all this, and more, is ALWAYS present from birth
to the passing of consciousness of thot EVIDENCE to the GREAT
UNKNOWN JOURNEY.
One look at any LIVING person into a mirror presents myriads
of EVIDENCE for years of studyof what? Life! This EVI-
DENCE is always WITHIN the individual. When then does the
individual ignore ever-present EVIDENCE flowing from WITHIN
OUTWARD? EVIDENCE of an answer is evident. Artificial
education plastered and pilastered on, layer upon layer FROM
WITHOUT, in schools, kindergartens to universities, has
master-minded an illogical environmental infiltration. As a
substitute it has minimized the INNER world of EVIDENCE and
maximized the OUTER world of artificialities. The inner from
above-down inside-out has been broken down to give way to the
outer, notwithstanding the outer is the product of the inner.
INTERNAL SOURCE is eminently qualified TO GIVE. We are
educationally disqualified FROM RECEIVING. Reason presents
EVIDENCE of why. There is an educational mental block, acci-
dentally received thru a vertebral subluxation between above-
[ 30 ]
down inside-out which all suffer with and from, more or less. We
try to treat blocked effects by bolstering them with a super-
abundance of artificial education from outside-in below-upward
which side-tracks and stifles the normal coming thru.
As a student of living, we want to know PRODUCER as well
as product. In architecture, we study anatomy of great cathedrals,
fine buildings, great bridges. We want to know intimately
foundations, super-structures, contents of each section, uses for
each part, what each was designed to do, how and why each part
coordinated with every other and all parts. We want to know wir-
ing plans, mechanical equipmentall this to knowing THE MIND
of the architect and builder.
What greater EVIDENCE than architectural man? There are
only 310 mechanical principles and movements on which every
movable patent is based. All are found in man. Man OUTSIDE has
conceived nothing new but what is IN MAN. EVIDENCE of
everything mechanical has been invented, tried, tested, developed
IN MAN. The Innate builder of and in living man is still the great
unknowable discovery.
To study any product is to know type of producer it had. To
know producers intellect is to know his product. To study
EVIDENCE of man is to understand intellect which produced him.
When one sees Ford assembly line he sees the lengthened shadow
of Henry Ford. As Herb Hender once said, after visiting our winter
home at Sarasota (Florida), If I didnt KNOW who lives here, I
WOULD know who lives here, meaning that as the owner, so his
home, which is HIS lengthened shadow.
EVIDENCE of mans outer educated contact with his inner
Innate; or, EVIDENCE there IS contact between his inner Innate
and his outer education, is of such common occurrence that it is
ignored. This inter-relationship is silent, subtle, but a whisper even
tho usually unknown.
We are circumscribed and enveloped with EVIDENCE, yet
[ 31 ]
we cant see the forest for trees. We are like babes lost in woods
we have no compass or steering wheel to tell us where and how to
get out of the maze. North Star shines brightly but educated
mental haze between us and it blinds our horizons.
We look and see not; have ears and hear not; we have a brain
and do not understand, yet EVIDENCE is plain and hammers
inside-out for understanding. It whispers and because it doesnt
shout, scream and yell we do not receive it. EVIDENCE to the
idealist is a reality; to the theorist a night-mare.
WHY does education, per se, such as it is believed to be, take
precedence over EVIDENCE to the contrary and thus belittle the
vast depths of EVIDENCE unfolded and constantly IN EVI-
DENCE WITHIN himself? If HE KNEW HOW to let that exhaust-
less reservoir of EVIDENCE buried down deep inside, come
outside, he could and would convince himself how valuable the
unseen world within was and is, and how petty education is by
comparison.
The FINITE educated mind seeks more education from as
many other finite minds as it can contact and store away, what
they receive also from the outside, for present and future environ-
mental needs.
The FINITE mind becomes obscured, blinded and congealed as
regards the existence of a greater intelligence within because the
finite cannot tap this EVIDENCE of an infinite mind within, even
tho the infinite mind is always present which is constantly and
insistently trying to tap the finite educated mind. This greater
infinite mind is in constant communication with every tissue cell,
organ, and part of this living body, every second, awake or asleep,
between birth and death. This is obvious in life and absent AS
EVIDENCE in death. This too IS EVIDENCE.
That which develops the human race and each unit in it,
certainly demands intensified study and understanding. Education
could not build and make live ONE tissue cell; yet, there is THAT
[ 32 ]
SOMETHING WITHIN which builds billions, organizes them, for-
mulates organs and systems of them, starts them running and keeps
them consistently coordinating for 3 score and 10, regardless of
what educations think. Such inner intelligence is worthy of
deepest concern. EVIDENCE of such is before us and with us at
all times in all ways. Should it be ignored?
The simplicity of observation of what EVIDENCE is, is what
apparently deceives the complexed student into denying the reality
of what he thinks. He knows he lives, sees and hearsprocess of
existence baffles him if he tries to develop rational interpretation
of the process. He studies the prodigy, the genius. Why do
THEY excel along certain lines over the vast majority? Where do
THEY get special talents? Is there something all can do to attain
the same qualifications and duplicate such arts?
We know all men and women are created alike, a common
pattern, therefore the mental patternmaker in all is alike. As the
product, so the producer. In and behind our common race is a
common intelligence which conceives, develops, gives birth and
directs all functions alike once they become separate units. That
common source is alike in allthat IS EVIDENCE we should
educationally fathom. Then, where lies this discriminatory feature
that sets ONE out prominently and subdues another into a back-
ground?
Ask these individuals How do you do WHAT you do, AS you
do it? Answer is simple. I dont know. It just comes. The same
common internal source to all, thot-flashes ideas to one below who
accepts them, acts upon them, yields to their intents and desires;
the other seeks and does not understand. Each has same
thot-flashes if he will listen to that wee-sma voice in the same
way. It might be music, painting, poetry, new inven-
[33]
tions; in fact, such thot-flashes encompass everything every person
has conceived and portrayed. He recognizes EVIDENCE of
external contact in another, why not in himself? EVIDENCE of
WHY and HOW one succeeds, the other fails, is that he has been
educated to question, deny, debate, argue, challenge the subtle
when they flash thru from within into his education in his outer
stages of thinking.
Genius as we dub it, is nothing more or less than the indi-
vidual who listens, accepts without question and permits devel-
opment of a superior knowledge FROM WITHIN to flow freely
WITHOUT questioning that which flows freely from
ABOVE-DOWN WITHIN-OUTThats why genius IS genius.
He has learned to respect those subterranean thot-flashes thereby
keeping pathways open and receptive. If he wakes in the night with
an idea, he captures it then and there, doing the thing, whatever
it is, when it is coming. Most would loll over and go back to sleep
and forget it. Genius IS genius because they have and utilize that
peculiar faculty of absorbing from a source greater than they know,
the inherent capacities of receiving and using those inspirations,
aspirations and perspirations that come so freely from within out,
refusing to reject them from within-out.
The great mass, regardless of how well educated from
without-in, lock all doors between source and semi-source, batten
down hatches, tightly bolt all windows, bury the keys and delib-
erately forget where they buried them. To do otherwise is to be
called an odd person. Rather than be held up to ridicule, they
prefer to run with the mob rather than stand out as unusual
individuals, doing unusual things unusual ways, and paying the
price which all such must do.
The ability of seeing these qualities in others, is best
EVIDENCE recognized as possessing the same qualities in self.
Too often we look for genius in far distant countries. Seldom do
we see it in our next door neighbor.
As is well known, we have Radio Station WOC at Davenport,
Iowa. The wild visionary and mad raving we had years ago
[ 34 ]
when it was a kids toy was one of OUR flash thots. That idea,
which came as inspiration had the broad concept that some day
in the future we would be able to bring the world of voice and
colored picture into your homes. It HAS become a reality.
Years ago we had on our station a simple, plain, every-day
young girlMarjorie Meinert. She possessed the education of a
small-town country girl, nothing unusual, quite usual. She could
strum tunes on a piano. It seemed to flow freely without effort.
From piano to Hammond and Wurlitzer organs, to pipe organ in
our home. She composed and wrote new and original
compositions. We encouraged her evolving development. On many
occasions we had guests in our home, anywhere from 10 to 150
people. We invited Our Little Margie to play. We have known
her to play request numbers, ranging from melodies to classics, for
3 hours without a note of music. She outgrew the station.
Wurlitzer people placed her under contract to travel from coast to
coast, border to border, putting on concerts before Americas
greatest musical organizations and artists. Soloist for the Boston
Symphony, Buffalo Symphony, Arthur Godfrey, Lawrence Welk
TV shows, etc. Her albums are on music stands. She literally was
a musical genius. Now 14 years later, same master of her inner
free flow and glow of musical mastery. Where did it all come
from? It was IN and she permitted it to come OUT. When asked
how come she was unable to explain, and, why should she? It
was! Possessing same qualities in ourselves in OUR work, we
recognized it in her. She found herself even as we found
ourself. She has played every day at our Annual Lyceums for
years. Her name is now household to our profession as well as the
musical world. Unspoiled with praise of masters. Her love for her
Papa BJ is the same today as it was yesterday.
At the 1957 Lyceum, we presented her with a bronze plaque, on
which we said:
During your 12 years with us at Station WOC,
AM-FM-TV, we have seen you rise from a girl to a woman,
from a novice at the piano to an organ artist, until today you
are recognized as an outstanding musical genius, traveling
from coast to coast, border to border, entertaining many
thousands, commingling with the great and near-great in your
profession.
With all this glory and tribute paid you everywhere, you
are still, and always will be, the sweet, kindly and thoughtful
girl as we knew you 12 years ago. Fame has not changed your
modest and sweet self, nor has your rise from obscurity to
earned fame unbalanced your humbleness, and it never will.
[ 35 ]
With gratitude, and admiration for a life of service to
better music and an inspiration to all musicians and for your
many outstanding contributions to the advancement of har-
mony to the human race, we present this plaque with our
unstinted blessings as you climb to greater glories, which you
so richly deserve.
No greater tribute could we pay you than this.
B. J. Palmer, President.
Some people recognize this self-same EVIDENCE WITHIN
themselves knowingly and develop it. Others see some
EVIDENCE cropping out and dont know how, why or where it
comes from. In some, this EVIDENCE just comes and they let it
without plausible explanations. Others feel it and suppress it,
calling it foolish. Others are ignorant of possessing such and
refuse to recognize it in themselves. Some go so far as to realize
that THE LAW OF EVIDENCE IS EVIDENCE of an internal law,
knowing it is IN every one all the time, that it is not a special
dispensation to a special characters, that it beckons for entrance
constantly.
Recognition of an INNER superiority of a greater intelligence
broader, deeper and longer than our accumulated educations
pumped into us from without, between birth and death, does not
go beyond the bounds of superficial explainable EVIDENCE. Such
recognition, however, does not warrant our acceptance of the
theories of mediumistic spiritualism of the return to us of dead
personalities of previous persons, bringing us messages from
beyond the River Jordan at so much per around a circle under
dimmed lights.
[ 36 ]
CHAPTER V
THE LAW APPLIED
At The ICA Symposium, Mid-Year Meeting, Atlanta, Georgia,
February 11-16, 58, there were amendments proposed to the
Chiropractic Practice Act, designed to:
(a) limiting chiropractors to practice chiropractic.
(b) preventing chiropractors (?) from practicing any or all
branches of the healing arts, as part and parcel of the scope
of chiropractic practice.
Convinced that chiropractic has been, is and should continue
within the confines of PALMERS LAW OF LIFE, which makes a
distinction between chiropractic AND medicine, as follows:
(c) chiropractic, in principle and practice, relies on the above-
down, inside-out, abstract, internal, interference CAUSE
of dis-ease
(d) chiropractic relies, in principle and practice, on the above-
down, inside-out, abstract, internal restoration CURE of
dis-ease
(e) medicine, in principle and practice, relies on the outside-in,
below-upward, PHYSICAL, EXTERNAL cause of dis-
ease
(f) medicine, in principle and practice, relies on the outside-in,
below-upward PHYSICAL EXTERNAL cure of dis-ease
therefore, to be consistent, our theme is:
(g) any chiropractor who prescribes any form of external
medical therapy to patients for the purpose of externally
curing disease, IS practicing medicine.
A State Senator, in rebuttal, said:
Today, any person can buy vitamins, anacin and any and all
kinds of drugs and other forms of treatments in any drug store,
saloon, grocery store, anywhere. They are common property
and belong to no particular profession.
Our rebuttal was:
Any chiropractor who PRESCRIBES vitamins, anacin and all
kinds of drugs and other forms of treatments from outside-in,
[ 37 ]
below-upward, from external TO internal, for the cure of any
disease, to patients, as a continuing action consistently, more or
less, day after day, for a fee, IS practicing medicine, the same as
M.D.s do.
Addressing himself directly to me, BEFORE adjournment, the
Chairman, a physician Senator, said
If I had to do it over again, I would have come to your school
and studied under you because you are a great salesman and
psychologist.
This was intended to be and was accepted as a compliment.
After our group left, a vote was taken of the 9 committee-men.
It was 4-4, deciding vote cast by the Chairman. Five FOR the
amendments, 4 opposed. Five FOR were ALL physicians. Our
presentation was so obvious, which WE wonted, which THEY
wanted, viz: to protect chiropractic from stealing medicine and
medical men wanted to protect medicine from being stolen by
chiropractors. Our presentation was professionally, legislatively
and legally sound for BOTH professions.
[ 38 ]
CHAPTER VI
THE LAW OF COMPENSATION
Attending the mid-year ICA Symposium, Atlanta, Georgia, Feb.
1958, we ran into a complex series of inconsistencies of dual
professional thinking.
Georgia, like some States, has two antipodal groups of chiro-
practors and chiropractors, those who are within bounds and out-
of-bounds in adjusting vertebral subluxations to get sick people
well; some who take the path of least resistance in attempting to
absorb medical theories from outside-in, below-upward treat-
ments of diseases; and, that group who follow the consistent
above-down, inside-out honest adjustment of vertebral subluxa-
tions.
The contrary group introduced a higher (?) education (?)
amendment to the Chiropractic Practice Act, thinking to pilaster
unnecessary class room time which does NOT add value but does
dilute practical work necessary to get sick people well. The
consistent group were told that if an amendment was introduced
by your group, our higher (?) educational bill WOULD BE
withdrawn. Our consistent amendment WAS introduced last ten
days of the Georgia Legislature. This amendment restricted the
contrary group, confining their professional work to the
above-down, inside-out principle and practice. It came to a
hearing before the Senate Health Committee consisting of nine
members, five M.D.s and four lay-people. We were asked to
appear before this Committee to support and endorse our
consistent amendment.
Supporting the amendment, we said Chiropractors should be
restricted to that which WAS their prior arts rights as vertebral
specialists, confining their work exclusively TO adjusting
vertebral subluxations. Chiropractors had NO prior arts rights to
invade ANY principles or practices of medical methods of treating
diseases from outside-in, below-upward. We took about 8
minutes to present our support to the amendment.
[ 39 ]
During the hearing, one chiropractor denied the purpose of our
amendment. After the hearing adjourned, this chiropractor told us:
I am a Lincoln College graduate. While there I was taught to hate
you, but I want you to know I RESPECT YOU. We told him that
was what we had a right to expect.
We would prefer to have his PROFESSIONAL RESPECT for
having developed CHIROPRACTIC, with which he was delivering
a service getting sick people well, WITHOUT his love based on
distorted passions and prejudices not true, than to have his
PERSONAL LOVE WITH his professional respect. If we have
earned the right to have BOTH respect AND LOVE, we will not
object.
During the hearing, one outside State Senator, opposing the
amendment, said: Vitamins are common property of anybody.
They can be bought anywhere, in drug stores, grocery stores,
department stores, and chiropractors have as much right to buy and
sell them, prescribe them to patients, as people have a right to buy
them and use them themselves. No State or Court had ever
interpreted them as the practice of medicine. We spoke up and
said That statement is NOT true. The chairman motioned us to
silence. Later he asked if we wished to comment. We said:
Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, and your own State of
Georgia had revoked Physiotherapy or Naturopathic Acts and
canceled licenses as the practice of medicine. Texas Supreme
Court declared all such methods were the practice of medicine.
Later the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the Texas
Supreme Court. In Texas 40 chiropractors (?), with chiropractic
licenses, practicing physiotherapy or naturopathic methods, were
arrested for practicing medicine without a license, and 400 more
were to be arrested on the same charges. We further said: Any
chiropractor, practicing chiropractic, under a chiropractic license,
repeatedly prescribing vitamins to patients for the outside-in,
below-upward alleviation or cure of disease, for a fee, IS
practicing medicine, and such had been declared by many courts.
After adjournment, all five physicians on that Committee voted
for and supported our amendment, agreeing with our presentation
of the necessity of keeping two opposing professions separate and
distinct from each other.
The next day, by invitation, accompanied by The ICA Good
Posture Queen, we were invited to address the Senate and House in
session, which we did. This was the first time such an honor had
been accorded us.
After addressing the Senate and House, we were escorted to the
lobby by Dr. Edge, M.D., of the Senate Health Committee.
[ 40 ]
In the ante-room, he told us this interesting story. I have known
you for many years. Years ago you conducted a long series of
travel talks over your Radio Station WOC. I listened to every one
with rapt attention. It was then I learned to respect you for your
courage, honesty, frankness in discussing problems you studied in
foreign countries. Because of complete understanding of your
sincerity of purpose, I knew when you were to appear before our
Committee exactly HOW you would present your subject and
WHY you would do so. We asked Doctor Edge if he would like
to have copies of our two books on travelAROUND THE
WORLD WITH B. J. and UPSIDE DOWN AND RIGHT SIDE
UP. He said he would. They were sent to his home town. On
March 5th, in a letter of acknowledgment, he said Your
philosophy that every person stick only to the line he is qualified
to perform, impressed me most favorably. We have said many
times, if Chiropractors would confine their practice to chiropractic
and leave medicine alone, they would win RESPECT of the
medical profession even tho they violently disagreed with us in
WHAT WE believed and practiced. Action of this Committee of
five physicians who supported our amendment, and letter quoted,
are proof of that statement.
Our amendment, introduced only 10 days before adjournment,
too little, too late, got no further than the Health Committee
because of the lateness of its introduction.
We repeat: after these many years, after delivering that series of
travel talks over Radio WOC, we were to again see the truth of
our oft-repeated epigram:
We never know how far reaching some thing we may think,
say or do, today, will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.
[ 41 ]
CHAPTER VII
THE LAW OF SOURCE
The initial and primary source of human intellectual mental
impulse supply, in brain, is unlimited, exhaustless and
dependable from birth to death. It is ready to supply normal
quantity at all times, even under all abnormal dis-eased
conditions. This Innate intellectual reservoir of power can fulfill
all demands of the entire assembly line, 24 hours a day, regardless
of sickness, IF it can get thru accidental and traumatic obstructions
between IT, via nerves, to muscles, to organs. If nerves ARE
impinged, interfered with BETWEEN brain and any organ, normal
flow of mental impulse power supply IS REDUCED, muscles GET
LESS, organ RECEIVES LESS, organic product IS REDUCED,
entire assembly line is more or less unbalanced for need of
particular products now diminished. Reversing the process
REDUCES dis-ease and INCREASES EASE.
When Innate Intelligence reaches final conclusion that human
assembly line is no longer capable of and does not fulfill its po-
tential destinies in living processes, and the body is no longer a
competent habitation thru which to function lifes ultimate objec-
tive, power is cut off, and Innate takes a prolonged vacation
called death.
Odd, isnt it, when something unknown, unexplainable, acci-
dentally happens in a recovery of health, it is called a miracle?
The M.D. looks into a mirror, sees himself and calmly accepts the
internal inevitable what Innate Intelligence made of him out of two
small sex seeds.
Coming to, flowing into and thru the human brain is a constant
superior consciousness all sufficient to human as well as
environmental universal needs. In building the human body, this
intelligence originated its PATHS of direct conductivity FROM
brain TO all tissue cells, thru which flows from above-down,
inside-out A CONTINUITY of power, force or energy, both
efferent TO body and afferent FROM body back to brain. This
intelligent power directs its flow to ALL muscular vehicles,
PROPERLY located, PROPERLY designed, in PROPER
quantities to meet every normal human exigency and adaptation to
internal and external needs. It discards useless waste materials
making all parts into one fin-
[ 42 ]
ished productLIFE. Each organ produces its individualistic
product for which the human assembly line was conceived,
developed, given birth and continues manifestations until death
separates intelligent power from static matter.
[ 43 ]
CHAPTER VIII
THE LAW OF ENERGY
The vertebrata, quadrupeds and bipeds, including man, consist
of physical organs, bones, muscles, viscera, glands, brain, nervous
system, tissue cells as well as an abstract flow of energy into it,
thru it, and out of it.
ORGANS are composed of tissue cells
TISSUE CELLS are made of molecules
MOLECULES are reducible to atoms
ATOMS break down into electrons and protons
which generates ELECTRONS
which IS energy
when released, is capable of producing motion in crude
matter
NEUTRON and PROTON are NEGATIVE factors
ELECTRON is POSITIVE factor
energy IS BOTH POSITIVE and NEGATIVE.
Man has been made able to take raw matter and squeeze out of
its basic physics elements and compress them into concentrated
workable energy. Can THIS explanation be ALL there is when
comparably applied to human LIFE as THE source of ALL HIS
ENERGY?
If THIS break-down explanation of crude matter be premised
AS SOURCE, then each human TISSUE CELL COULD BE AN
INDEPENDENT UNIT WITHIN ITSELF. Has IT independent
function apart from other associations within the human body?
Does it, or does it not, have relations with all neighbors from top to
toe in an intellectual coordinated purpose?
Edisons use of the Law of Ohm applies to static, immobile
matter, depending on whether EXTERNAL electrical physical
source of energy, or when man intervenes and breaks down those
physical flows of energies. The Law of Ohm could not apply as a
source of energy IN man because he is an independent locomobile,
automobile, autonomous, self-contained INTERNAL generating
brain power plant sufficiently competent to carry the full living
normal load, therefore is independent except for fluid and solid
foods, air, etc., after which reproductive generation is complete
without external artificial aid.
The relation between horse-power, electricity and watts, is
[ 44 ]
determined by multiplying volts and amperes of electrical current,
a 110 volt current of one ampere would equal 100 watts. Electrical
current is generally measured by kilowatt hours, the equal of 1,000
watt hours. One horse-power requires 746 watts. It represents force
needed to lift 33,000 pounds one foot, in one minute.
Should the explanation of PHYSICAL science be sound if
applied to living human beings, how could each human individual
tissue cell expressing power be concentrated IN THE HUMAN
BRAIN, converging ALL at this one superior centralized place
and from there be directed by INNATE INTELLIGENCE to all the
body where, when, how and why needed?
That vertebral subluxation DOES INTERFERE WITH ANY
AND ALL INFERIOR FUNCTIONS between brain and body, is
provable with evidence based on millions of cases of restored
function, getting well following adjustment of that vertebral
subluxation between brain and body, proving one over-all general
manager.
If there are individualistic tissue cell sources of energy, how is
the ALL IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FACTOR which
controls, directs, governs, distributes, provides and senses all its
parts, to perform a perfect distribution to ALL PARTS of the body
via the nervous system?
Does Innate Intelligence manufacture mechanically and chem-
ically formulated electrons, concentrate them in the brain, from
where they are directed into function in all the body below?
Unsolved problems still baffle philosophers and scientists.
Where and how does ENERGY come into human bodies? Does
materialistic physical sciences, dealing with crude matter, reveal or
substitute THE SOURCE of energy as applied to man?
Is there a different explanation between:
(a) earthly stationary forms, such as rocks
(b) immovable, stationary, INTERNAL growing, depending
upon EXTERNAL heat
[ 45 ]
(c) animal forms, movable, INTERNAL growing, depending
upon INTERNAL heat, such as vertebrata, including man?
Are there fundamental basic differences between these two
which necessitates different LAWS for being WHAT they are, AS
they are? Do materialistic laws of physics, applied to crude
matter, apply with equal value to living humans? Is there some
NEW BASIC LAW necessary to take man out of crude matter into
living, thinking, sensing flesh?
Living man is a complicated compilation, consistently assem-
bled, having internal mechanical and chemical, self-sustaining
actions and by-products producing his own internal heat, having
INDEPENDENT LOCOMOTION.
[ 46 ]
CHAPTER IX
THE LAW OF FUSING ENERGY
Recently Great Britain and the U.S. relaxed atomic secrecy
long enough to issue a restrained announcement. In both countries
the first major step had been taken toward harnessing the hydrogen
bombs energy. Final control of this energythe same energy that
keeps the suns fires burningmight still be a lifetime away. But
success will bring unlimited power from an inexhaustible source:
hydrogen, easily obtained from water.
The key to this power is fusion a process which fuses hydrogen
atoms together to form helium (unlike fission which splits atoms).
But hydrogen nuclei carry positive electric charges and therefore
repel one another. To break this electrical barrier they must be
thrown at one another with fantastic speeds. These speeds can best
be attained by heating nuclei to hundreds of millions of degrees
centigrade, many times hotter than the suns interior.
Until now such temperatures have been reached on earth only
in atomic bombs. To control fusion it is necessary to generate this
much heat without an explosion, sustain it for more than the
split-instant of a bomb, and find some way of containing itno
known material could withstand the enormous heat.
In several U.S. and British laboratories, temperatures up to five
million degrees centigrade have been attainedand, with them,
scientists cautiously believe, brief fusion. The basic method is to
run a massive electrical current through hydrogen in a tube,
sometimes straight sometimes doughnut-shaped. This forms a col-
umn of hot gas like that in a neon light. The current creates a
strong magnetic field, which compresses, or pinches the column,
further heating the gas to a point where fusion begins to occur. The
required temperatures have so far lasted for only thousandths of a
second. But the electromagnetic pinch provides the all-important
container which confines the heat.
From the single unicellular amoeba in the slime of the sea, to
the highly systematized and organized genus homo of vertebrates,
with capabilities of internal heating, cooling, free locomotion,
energy-generating equipment, repairing its mechanical and
chemical systems, restoring sickness to health, the internal gov-
erning law remains the insistent constant. It is centralized within
[ 47 ]
the unit with one single simple control from one central source.
Educated medical scientists have tried to adapt EXTERNAL
PHYSICAL LAW TO HIS concepts. Reverse is that: man must
adapt HIMSELF TO the internal human law. THAT, medical
science hasnt learned. THAT, chiropractic makes a practical
reality.
(Interpolation.
(Pursuant to a consistent program of refusing to speculate,
vaguely guessing, wild external physical conditions; we preferably
follow perplexing problems with that age-old human boring-in
question WHY!?
(We met Albert Einstein. How come you discovered the LAW
of relativity? His answer was characteristic: I discovered
nothing. Sitting on the sea shore, I looked into space and saw
something which had been there for millions of yearsTIME
and I saw something in TIME AND SPACE which no other man
had seen before, a LAW of relativity BETWEEN SPACE AND
TIME.
(We met Thomas Edison, by invitation, in his Menlo Park, N.
J., workshop, professionally. Edison had been deaf in right ear
since a boy. Could chiropractic do anything for it? If he would
come to Davenport, we thot, maybe it could be repaired. He
replied he could not go to Davenport and stay there because he
had work to do there. You come here and stay with me for a
while. Our reply was We cant stay here because WE have work
to do THERE. With these conclusions, Edison, quizzically looked
at us with that enigmatic smile, said Just think of all the
unpleasant things I wont hear that people say about me.
(Later, we met Orville Wright. How come you boys got into
the flying machine game? We were bicycle tire repairers in
Dayton. One day mothers washing was on the line in the back-
yard. Sheets, bedspreads, pillow slips, etc. They hung perpen-
dicularly DOWNWARD from the line. A strong wind was blowing
AGAINST the wash. As wind blew INTO the wash, it directed
them obliquely forward and upward RAISING them. This gave
us THE SIMPLE SINGLE IDEA that MORE WIND PLUS A
LARGER FLAT OBLIQUE SURFACE COULD AND MIGHT
RAISE LARGER OBJECTS UPWARD OFF THE GROUND.
More surface, more wind, more raising potential.
(We took bicycle tubing, welded pieces together and made
[ 48 ]
a double frame, a bi-plane with double surface. We put a small
motor, with a propeller, to manufacture wind to blow against
multiple surfaces arranged on sloping angles, which we thot would
raise one of us up in air off the ground. This principle eventually
worked.
(We tried experiments in a farmers field, outside of town, at
nights. We knew what people would say about those crazy kids.
Finally, we wanted to make a better production. We went to the
city banker to borrow $5,000. He asked What for? We, being
frank, told him we wanted to produce a flying machine. He thot we
were off balance, but suggested he would send to Columbus, to the
State University, and invite three Professors of Physics to come,
look-see, and, if we could and would go up and stay off the ground
for one hour or more, without coming down, and they came back
and so reported, he would loan us the $5,000.00.
(All five went out to the field. We compared watches so there
would be no dispute as to time. We took off, were up a trifle over
an hour, came down jubilant to know we would NOW get $5,000.
We went to the Professors satisfied what their answers would be.
We were met with What do you boys THINK you have been
doing? We have been flying, we stayed up over an hour. The
professors said You just think youve been flying. You have not
been off the ground. The laws of physics say that anything which
is heavier than air, cant rise IN air and stay up in air without
falling to the ground. Everything you have in that contraption IS
HEAVIER THAN AIR THEREFORE YOU HAVENT BEEN
OFF THE GROUND. They so reported to the banker and we
didnt get the $5,000.
(Simple incidences lead to heroic and gigantic accomplish-
ments. Sheets on a line, plus wind, and it has revolutionized the
world of transportation making the world much smaller. Three
blind mice of men almost buried an historical development.
(If I could have worked at the bench along side Edison, and
helped him bring forth the electric globe, batteries, talking ma-
chine, motors, and millions of applications to which he put
Franklins key sparks, what a thrill that would have been knowing
we were a participant in revolutionizing the labors of a
forthcoming new era for mankind.
You HAVE this opportunity. YOU have it NOW!
(YOU, who now listen to OUR VOICE have such an oppor-
tunity pregnant with even GREATER potentials than what
Newton, Franklin, Darwin, Morse, Bell, Einstein, Edison or
Wright Brothers produced because YOU are tapping the source of
everything
[ 49 ]
every man has ever produced, therefore are producing a BETTER,
HEALTHIER, MORE NORMAL and NATURAL, MENTAL and
PHYSICAL MAN, WHO CAN THEN PRODUCE BETTER
THINGS THAN THOSE MEN PRODUCED.
Till the advent of PROVABLE LAWS, all concepts of a God
were rudimentary and doctrinal, which bewildered pathetic under-
standings of THE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE.
As man studied THE CREATED and began to understand THE
LAWS of created objects, he better knew THE LAWS OF THE
CREATOR and was able to coordinate himself in relation TO
AND WITH AND HOW THE CREATOR PERFORMED HIS
WORKS.
The dropping of an apple, hitting Newtons head was a simple
incident. Undoubtedly similar incidents happened to other people
many times. As simple as this incident, Newton asked: Why did
the apple FALL? WHY didnt it GO UP instead? This started a
series of NEW and ORIGINAL thinking which developed into
NEWTONS LAW OF GRAVITATION which was the
explanation for the LAW OF PHYSICS which had not been so
seen or known previously.
We can imagine Einstein sitting at a seashore, looking into
space, meditating movements of matter, space, time, and wonder-
ing the WHY of any or all of it. He took NEWTONS LAW, elab-
orated and developed it in a larger broader sense into THE LAW
OF RELATIVITY.
Flying a kite in a storm was not unusual or new. It had been
done many times by many men. Striking the string with a metal
key and receiving sparks by contact had possibly been done many
times before by many boys or men. As simple as this was, Ben
Franklin, being inquisitive, asked WHY these sparks. What ARE
they? What do they reveal, if anything? It started HIM seeking
answers to some unseen, unknown, energy up there in space.
Along came this addle-pated and mischievous kid, Tom Edison,
who picked up the long dormant Law of Ohm, drew sparks FROM
space, concentrated and stored them in Galvanic batteries and
developed them into millions of ways of practical uses to lighten
human labor, into modern inventions such as electric light,
dynamos, gramophones recording voices on revolving wax
cylinders run motors, etc. With diligent labor, practical
applications, Edison proved in countless ways,
[ 50 ]
there was A LAW at work, THE LAW OF OHM, which all elec-
tricians use today.
Morse used the Law of Ohm to develop the telegraph.
Bell used the Law of Ohm to bring forth the telephone.
Other men, later, followed Edisons developments in thousands
of more ways such as radio, television, etc.
Eastman saw the inherent living potentials in the human eye,
with its shutter-eye-lid lens which made possible vision, retina
to catch the picture, which was the film on which was imprinted
objects seen, the diaphragm which limited the apertures of a lens,
out of which came the Kodak.
A true pioneer in heavier-than-air flight was Sir George
Cayley who, wrote Orville Wright, knew more OF THE
PRINCIPLES OF AERONAUTICS THAN ANY OF HIS
PREDECESSORS, AND AS MUCH AS ANY THAT
FOLLOWEDOctave Chanutes Flying Machines of
1895 was the text book which the Wrights studied.
Goupils flying machine of 1883 looked quaint but IT WAS
ACCOMPANIED BY ENGINEERING STUDY.Chanute
analyzed Goupils data, and the WRIGHTS LEARNED TO
CALCULATE THE FORCES OF FLIGHT. Following the
first days series of flights, the two Wright brothers knocked
off for lunch, knowing that they were not only THE FIRST
MEN TO FLY IN A MACHINE THAT ROSE AND
MAINTAINED ITSELF IN LEVEL FLIGHTS UNDER ITS
OWN POWER, BUT THEY WERE THE FIRST MEN TO
FLY WITH A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF CONTROL.
(American Science & Invention.)
Orville and Wilbur Wright saw wind blowing AGAINST sheets,
bed-spreads of mothers wash on the line. The wind blowing
AGAINST perpendicular sheets, hanging straight down, not only
blew the sheets at an angle FORWARD, but also raised them
UPWARD. This movement of sheets on lines had been going on
[ 51 ]
for centuries As SIMPLE as it was, these boys SAW the birth of
wings to raise larger objects off the ground. Eventually, this crude
principle developed into a flying machine. Steadily improved ap-
plications, experimentations, established their LAW OF AEREO-
DYNAMICS.
Each man, in his time, with its SIMPLE AND SINGLE
principle and practice, was laughed at, scorned, ridiculed, denied
and made sport of. Realizing he had a PRACTICAL and
PROVABLE reality each FIRMLY adhered to what each knew.
Where would WE BE TODAY were it not for the steadfastnesses
of these simple and single-minded principles and practices as
developed and practiced by these men? We are heavily indebted to
each man for refusing to become a conformist to his past, for
being a non-conformist to his present for future benefits to
mankind.
D. D. Palmer had the simple and single incident of deafness of
Harvey Lillard to let HIM see the birth of a new concept and
approach of a new principle and practice to getting sick people
well. Re-actions of medical men followed the usual pattern. Even
re-actions of some of OUR profession, even of this late date, too
frequently follow that pattern.

It IS vital:
(a) there be a constant and consistent continuity flow of
mental impulse energy supply FROM UPSTAIRS
BRAIN TO DOWNSTAIRS
(b) from Controlling Officer to every executive organ in
your body
(c) that each executive be in communication in every
department in store BELOW to every department BE-
LOW
(d) and, all departments closely inter-related and inter-
associated be in contact with the Guiding Mind upstairs.
There needs be a 24-hour, every second, guard on duty with
clear channel communication between all parts. When all runs
smoothly, between ABOVE-BELOW, INSIDE-OUT, switchboard
is silent. In event of aches and pains between OUTSIDE-IN,
BELOW-UPWARD, it is important that fact be relayed at once TO
officers in charge above.
In absence of or inability of getting aches and pains com-
plaints from consumer BELOW to management ABOVE,
confusion increases, tempers get out of control, departments
downstairs go frantic because THEY CANNOT RECEIVE
INSTRUCTIONS FROM UPSTAIRS BECAUSE UPSTAIRS
ISNT GETTING INFORMATION FROM DOWNSTAIRS, of
what is wrong, where and how.
