    Vol 14 E46: Innate's Nervous System Part 1

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 7, 2025 22:08


    In this episode of The Green Book Commentaries Podcast, titled "Innate's Nervous System," we explore BJ Palmer's profound insights on how Innate Intelligence uses the nervous system as a conduit to unite the spiritual and material aspects of mankind. We delve into the idea that Innate Intelligence—our inborn wisdom—flows from above down, inside out, through the nervous system, forming the vital link between the immaterial consciousness and the physical body. Drawing from the Green Books, we also examine the direct brain cell to tissue cell connection, emphasizing the uninterrupted transmission of mental impulses as essential for coordination, adaptation, and life expression. This episode is a deep dive into the sacred anatomy of chiropractic philosophy.

    Vol 14 E45: The Normal Function of Innate

    In this episode of The Green Book Commentaries Podcast, titled "The Normal Function of Innate," we explore the foundational chiropractic principle that Innate Intelligence is always perfect, and its function—producing innate mental impulses—is always normal. Drawing from B.J. Palmer's timeless writings, we dive into the profound idea that the body is inherently intelligent and self-regulating, provided it is free from interference. While Innate Intelligence never errs, problems arise in the transmission of its messages—innate mental impulses—along the nervous system. It is in this transmission where vertebral subluxation introduces distortion, leading to dis-ease. We discuss how the chiropractor's role is not to "heal" the body but to locate and correct subluxations, restoring the free flow of mental impulses and allowing the body to function as designed. This episode is a reminder that the power that made the body, heals the body—through normal function of Innate, when interference is removed.Listen. Like. Subscribe. Share.

Palmer's philosophy, we dissect how Innate continuously generates constructive, adaptive forces to counteract the unrelenting destructive forces of Universal Intelligence. By analyzing the interplay between afferent and efferent transmission, tissue cell coordination, and the dynamic adaptability of the nervous system, we uncover how the body maintains structural and functional integrity through chiropractic care.

    When a subluxation affects nerve flow to an organ, Innate will attempt to compensate by recruiting another organ in an attempt to maintain homeostasis. This recruited organ will appear diseased but is in fact doing what Innate intends. For this reason, it's important to use objective indicators for subluxation rather than adjust based on symptoms.
