If you have ever wondered what a slip, or falling off your bike, or a negative thought can do to you, please read today’s thoughts from the works of Dr. BJ Palmer…
Small Things are Large
“A slip on the sidewalk, in winter, is a SMALL thing. It happens to millions. A fall off a ladder, in summer, is a SMALL thing. This happens to millions. The slip or the fall subluxates (interferes with) a bone and nerve. That specific subluxation is a small thing. The interference produces pressure upon spinal cord, with its trillions of fibres. That pressure is a SMALL thing. This specific pressure produces interferences and reduces flow of life. That decreased flow is a SMALL thing. That decreased flow … produces a specific dis-eased brain or body. THAT is a BIG thing to THAT person. Multiply THAT man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply THAT man by a million and you shape the physical and mental destiny of a state. Multiply THAT man by 120 (300) million and you forecast and prophesy the mental and physical status of a nation.
So, the slip or the fall; the creation of a … subluxation, consequent pressure, reduced flow of mental impulse and dis-ease IS BIG enough to control the thoughts and actions of a nation.
Now comes a man; and any one man is a SMALL thing. This man gives a specific adjustment upon the specific subluxation; and that adjustment is a SMALL thing. The adjustment replaces the (subluxation) back in normal alignment, and that is a SMALL thing. The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves; and that is a SMALL thing. The released pressure restores health to A man, and THAT is a BIG thing to THAT man. Multiply THAT man by a thousand men, and you step up the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply THAT man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a state. Multiply THAT well man by 120(300) million, and you produce a healthy, wealthy, better race for posterity, in a nation.
Man is a SMALL thing, worlds considered. …. Man dies when he CEASES to create thot and perform motion. Man becomes sick when thot and function are below par. Therefore, the subluxation may be a SMALL thing, but it is the BIGGEST thing in man.
So, … adjustment of … subluxation, to release pressures upon nerves, to restore … health IS BIG enough to rebuild the thoughts and actions of the world.”
