TIC Talks

This talk was taught by Simon Senzon to the Philosophy II class at Sherman College of Chiropractic on February 2, 2017. The talk takes you on a transformative journey through the realms of Universal Intelligence (UI). Discover a nuanced perspective on UI that goes beyond divinity, inspired by the discourse that UI is not synonymous with God. The lecture explores D.D. Palmer's spiritual journey as a Spiritualist, the evolution of his philosophy rooted in over 30 years of non-local consciousness practice, and the pivotal concept of Innate, first introduced by D.D. Palmer in 1902 (*and we now know as early as 1898). Learn how "bracketing" can redefine our understanding of key concepts like "subluxation," liberating them from misconceptions. As you learn to navigate the depths of Universal Intelligence and gain a fresh outlook on the philosophy of chiropractic, consider  that you are transcending and including conventional boundaries.

Embark on a captivating journey through the history of chiropractic's foundational theory - Innate Intelligence. In this comprehensive lecture series, Dr. Simon Senzon unveils the fascinating origins and evolution of this core concept, from D.D. Palmer's early teachings in the late 19th century to its development in the early 20th century. Discover how Innate Intelligence emerged as a biological theory of the organism's ability to self-repair and grow, mediated through the nervous system. Simon's meticulous research describes the early development of this seminal theory. This lecture series is a must-watch for chiropractors and chiropractic students intrigued by the rich history and philosophical underpinnings of the profession.

In this profound and rousing call to action presented at Life on November 12, 2009, Arno takes us through the history of the profession, from its philosophy-grounded beginnings to its growing identity crisis today. Most chiropractors now practice within a medical model of therapeutic treatment, suppressing symptoms and competing with other modalities. Arno contends that this drift into "mainstream" healthcare jeopardizes the soul of chiropractic. Instead, he charges chiropractors to reconnect with the original purpose of their calling - using chiropractic adjustments of vertebral subluxations to unleash Innate Intelligence, while also sharing transformational wisdom that empowers well being from the inside out. Arno envisions a movement that upholds this higher vision, attracting not patients but clients hungry for wellness care of body, mind and spirit. Listeners will come away inspired to live and practice from a consciousness of trust in the body's wisdom, using the true language of healing to serve, elevate and enlighten.

When a successful chiropractor lets ego, money, and prestige overshadow his roots, he loses trust in innate intelligence - sinking into educated delusions. Yet humble openness to innate guidance steered icons who “moved worlds.” Innate is equally adept at healing bodies and minds. Though its quiet insights may seem odd, acting on thought-flashes produces results, if we override doubts. The impacts ripple further than we know; small innate acts transforms the world. As Palmer helps reorient one wandering protégé, he reminds us that schools and techniques matter less than attending within. There a timeless mentor awaits, ever-ready to help us serve, think clearly, and live nobly - if we will silence noise to hear quiet wisdom. *The majority of this talk was published as a crucial chapter of B.J.'s 1955 text Fame and Fortune (Vol. 33).

In this talk, B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, passionately argues for the effectiveness and simplicity of chiropractic care in contrast to the complex and often ineffective medical approach. He explains that chiropractic focuses on identifying and correcting vertebral subluxations, which interfere with the body's innate intelligence and cause dis-ease. Palmer emphasizes that chiropractic principles are universally applicable and that the medical profession's attempts to restrict chiropractic practice through legislation are driven by fear of competition rather than concern for patient well-being. He stresses the importance of building strong lay organizations to protect patients' rights to choose their healthcare providers and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate the broad applicability of chiropractic care. Throughout the talk, Palmer encourages the audience to seek chiropractic care if they are ill, assuring them that with time and the dedication of the chiropractors present, they will experience restored health.

The lecture explores the relationship between Innate and Educated, the creation of new theories and terms, B.J.'s evolving thoughts, and his esoteric insights about God and Innate. In this book, B.J. introduces the Cycle of Life through the Creation, Transmission, Expression (CTE) cycle. The significance of B.J. Palmer's Vol. 2 in shaping the philosophy of chiropractic philosophy cannot be overstated.
