In his book, Palmer’s Law of Life, BJ Palmer said: “Life is 100% mental impulse flow. Death is 0% flow of mental impulse supply. Dis-ease is an intermediate declining degree between one and the other…As mental impulse flow increases and inclines, life increases and inclines.”
Basically what he is saying is that you are either living or dying. On the surface that seems pretty basic, either you’re alive or you’re dead. But how many of us are actually living? That’s the goal of Chiropractic, to help you live a better life.
Living isn’t just the mere state of existence but the fullest expression of one’s purpose and passion. It is the release of your inner being, your spirit into the world. Sharing that passion and purpose with others is one of the greatest experiences we can have. Let me illustrate…
I have a good friend who plays trumpet. I remember growing up, he’d answer the phone with his horn and answer questions with different tones… and the best part is you’d know what he was saying based on his playing. He was sharing his passion with others in a simple way. Here’s another one…
He’s in a band and has been able to tour the world thanks to their music. Watching him and his band-mates on stage is watching seven people express their love for life which in turn just makes people get out of their seats and move. They are the most energetic band I have ever seen. I’ve seen them play small club venues and UCONN’s Gampel Pavillion alike and there is nothing like watching thousands of people dancing in the aisles and on the floors. Don’t get me wrong, there are no fists flying or bodies landing on top of each other, it’s a group of folks feeling what it is like to live in harmony. I’ve never been to a show of theirs where people are sitting down. Even the people who are walking to the bathroom are bobbing their heads and shaking their bodies feeling the music. It’s all outward and shared zeal emanating from their inward being.
That same passion and power reside in your body in the form of Innate Intelligence every day of your life. It keeps your inner life functioning well so you may express that spirit outwardly to others.
The two above stories are examples of expressing “100% mental impulse flow.” When you got it, you want to share it with the world and you don’t care much what people think of you. My mission is to do the same with Chiropractic; that’s what this Simple Truth series is about. Will you be the dancers and radiate this message to others?
With Love and Appreciation,
