Art. 19:
CHIROPRACTIC STUDY
www.drbonci.com
Study of the Immaterial
The study of the Immaterial
is the study of philosophy;
that is to say, the study of
intelligence, laws, causes,
effects, rules, theories,
functions and other
abstractions.
It is to gain a knowledge of
the group of principles
underlying the science.

The Process
We are interested,
therefore, in a process.
Up-Side-Down
This process is a way of
thinking; a way of
seeing; a way of
interpreting and
understanding the
world around us.

Educated Mind
Objectifies everything.
Preoccupied with effects.
Cannot comprehend cause.

Fractures reality into arbitrary
subdivisions.
Involves endless iterations.
Moves across every imaginable scale.

Joseph Campbell
This thing up here, this
consciousness [educated
mind], thinks it's running the
shop. It's a secondary
organ.
It's a secondary organ of a
total human being, and it
must not put itself in control. It
must submit and serve the
humanity of the body.
The Power of Myth (1988)
Innate Intelligence =
Consciousness
The main obstacle
to man's
development, then,
is his lack of
knowledge about
the nature of
consciousness
itself.

Chiropractic Deals with Biology
Biology and chiropractic
include vital phenomena
in contradistinction to
[the] physical … ; those
functions, energies and
acts that depend upon
life, [… are in ...] contrast
to those which exist
without intelligence.
Palmer, D.D. ((1914)). The Chiropractor (p. 15). Lord Majesty
Productions, a division of The Harper. Kindle Edition.

Biology Deals Indirectly with Life
BIOLOGY is that branch of
discussion of phenomena
which deals with the
action of life, through and
upon matter, causing
animation.
Biology has been [falsely]
conceived to be a
discussion of life, or of
living things.
From Chapter 9 of Psycho-Bio-Physiology by Willard Carver, LLB, DC;
1920.
www.drbonci.com
The Force of Life
All things indigenous to
the earth, are in
themselves inanimate,
and only take on the
conduct of animation
when they are impelled
in a specific way by the
force of life.
From Chapter 9 of Psycho-Bio-Physiology by Willard Carver, LLB,
DC; 1920.
www.drbonci.com
Biology is NOT the Study of Life
Biology is, therefore,
not a discussion of
life, per se, but is a
discussion of the
formation, and
maintenance of
structures ordinarily,
although erroneously
considered to be
alive.
From Chapter 9 of Psycho-Bio-Physiology by Willard
Carver, LLB, DC; 1920.

HOW THE CAUSE,
Article 123:
CAUSES DIS-EASE
Interference with
transmission causes Dis-
ease by preventing Innate

in the tissue cell; hence it
becomes unsound and

The main error of the
biomedical approach is
the confusion between
disease process and
disease origins.

Fritjof Capra
Instead of asking why an
illness occurs, and try to
remove the conditions
that lead to it, medical
researchers try to
understand the biological
mechanisms through
which the disease
operates, so that they can
then interfere with them.

Dr. Fred Barge
In other words, the molecular
changes that accompany a
disease are not the cause of
the disease, but the result.
The molecular changes are
simply manifesting the
disease – even at the very
earliest stages of the disease
process.

There is a powerful
temptation to see

fashion when, in fact,
they are nonlinear,
parallel, and emergent

The current worldview has
it that everything is made
of matter, and everything
can be reduced to the
elementary particles of
matter ... [a]nd cause
arises from the
interactions of these
basic building blocks.
