SEEDS

The Parable of the Sower

1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2And great crowds gathered about him,so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears, let him hear.”

Let’s apply this biblical passage to health and wellbeing (Chiropractic). There are those who do not under any circumstance believe (despite all evidence, scientific and testimonial) that the body can heal itself. These people are seeds on the road. There are those who experience that the body can and does heal on its own but are short lived in their discovery. In Chiropractic terms these are people who base their care strictly on symptoms, typically pain, find relief quickly then fall out of care after a short duration. Those of this nature typically return to Chiropractors often again for the same purpose perpetuating a roller-coaster cycle thinking Chiropractic is only good for pain relief. They have missed the Chiropractic message.

Many fall into the category of the seed choked out by the thorns. They are those who hear the message but choose to listen to the negativity of others instead of their own innate self. They hear the words of the external world, words like “quack” or “stroke.” They hear other health care practitioners or family and friends saying “this is permanent,” “learn to live with it,” or “better off dead.” They accept failure as a perfectly legitimate answer to their health situation and are choked off from ever seeking help, health and well-being.

Then there are those like you. Those who have heard the message and like players on a Super-Bowl winning football team have bought into the coach’s system. You have sold out and committed your faith to the infINNATE design of the human body rather than the limited knowledge of a human with a knife who studies the infinite design of the human body. You know and understand the principle that the body is internally healed and internally regulated. You honor it so well that you refer others to Chiropractors so they too can succeed where others have failed because of the infINNATE principle. You yield crops of healthy individuals 100, 60, or 30 times over.

I see a healthy world, 6.6 Billion people strong. I see fields and crops of healthy individuals, thanks to seeds who fell on good soil.
