Dr. John Demartini Audio Series Is Back: Chiropractic Genius Within (Parker Seminars 2001)

[0:00] of our attendees, our students from to hopefully get the the things that they feel that they're missing to it hopefully help and my world was changed again. This man the reasons why I became a chiropractor. And more important than that, he created an awareness. And I tell him all the time, that not only I had all the power within myself in your this presentation for those of you that have listen him the past you will notice. It Wakening the chiropractic genius within How many would like to awaken your genius? Your creativity, your mastery of what you do That's what we're going to dedicate today about Outline some ideas and some principles that I want

[2:16] I wanted to share some of my own experience and my own experience and along with that and I'll weave that and then the weave that into chiropracticic principles. named Giorgio Vasari and he's referring to Leonardo da Vinci. You've all heard of Leonardo da Vinci I know, it says that heaven sends us beings who represent not humanity alone but divinity itself. So that

[3:16] even if nature gives them little or no help, may at least approach the supernatural works that participate in his divinity. What that means is that if we associate a take in the essence and the consciousness of other geniuses, that it rubs off on us. I've said for nearly two decades here at the Parker Program that if you put your hand into a pot of glue, the glue sticks. If you open your heart and you open your mind and associate with great minds and great leaders and great chiropractors who are masters of what they do, it is impossible for that to not rub off on you. A genius is one who listens to the light of their soul and obeys. They listen to the inner message, the inner voice. They see an inner vision and they follow it.

[4:06] They obey their inner intuitions and inspirations and they obey it and they live it. A chiropractic genius is one who opens their heart and listens to the still small voice and it guides them to the right place at the right time with the right adjustment, the right pressure and the right time and direction and they make a perfection of adjustment. The difference between manipulation and adjustment is that small voice guiding it. The difference between, in a sense, the chiropractor and the chiropractic master is the willingness to obey it. So Vasala is talking about the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. I've had inspirations, I've attempted to put my hand into the pot of their glue because I know that by doing it, it leaves some immortal effect on me. If I study the immortals,

[5:13] I become immortal as they say. So it's been shown that if we take the time to clarify our mission and direct our actions intentfully towards that mission and associate with those that are also on a mission, that we share a message, and that message comes not verbally only, but also non-verbally through the expression of our nonverbal language, and we impact people. I'd like to go through some of the character traits that geniuses display, things that are common to geniuses, and we'll translate that into our chiropractic genius. The first one is that they're [inaudible] you. About a hundred years or so, a hundred and five or six years ago, there was a gentleman named D.D. Palmer. He all of a sudden came through with his inspiration, his intuition,

[6:11] he followed it, and he had the realization. From an ancient knowing, he had a realization. The ancient knowing was, as Hippocrates said, look to the spine, and they noticed that the spine was the key in the center of health. But he noticed something unique. He noticed that if a vertebra was out of place, that it affected the expression of life, it affected the fullness of the breath and the spirit of the human being. And all of a sudden, with one thrust, one adjustment, and the word adjustment is very unique and very precious because it comes from the roots ad, which means moves to center and just, which means moves to balance. And all of a sudden he underwent an adjustment and shared an adjustment with Harvey Lillard

[6:55] and all of a sudden had a transformation and the mortal part of the body was now transformed into the immortal part. The expression of the spirit through matter was now expressed. And now the hearing, the voice on the inside, now became allowed in Harvey Lillard. And so what happens is this gentleman, D.D. Palmer, had boiled the uniqueness. He had the willingness to step out of the paradigm that existed at the moment and step into a new paradigm that is from his heart. He intuitively sensed that if he put the bones back into proper position, then all of a sudden the power that made the body can heal the body. illumination. This was a light that went on inside the human being and this was genius that was born. Later we came across his son BJ Palmer and BJ Palmer

[7:40] was one who had versatility and studied various things and explored various avenues of life and integrated those, which I'll discuss in a moment, and he integrated those and he took that genius to another level. He brought that chiropractic out to the world. One of the keys of a genius is one that has bold uniqueness. I find ita very valuable on a daily basis to write down what your uniquenesses are. Where are you bold and where are you unique? Do you have the boldness to stand out before the groups of people who do not comprehend the great truth of chiropractic and stand out there and share the message? Do you have the courage to when you're walking down the street or maybe in a mall or maybe going to a gas

[8:18] station or a movie or something to stand out and share the message? Geniuses are ones who have the boldness to share from their heart their mission and their message with people and they express that uniqueness because it is so few and so rare. The genius in chiropractic is one who is willing to stand out there and share the chiropractic message. Those with the mission have a message. The geniuses of chiropractic, the way getting it up, is to affirm to yourself that I am bold, I am unique, I have a mission, I have a message. I am bold, I am unique, I have a mission and I have a message. And I'm willing to share that message because that's my mission. This is the genius of the chiropractor, who has the ability...

[9:00] to stand out there. When somebody asks them what they do, they're bold enough to state that I'm a master healer. I deal with sacred healing. I'm basically dealing with a divine art called chiropractic, and I'm expressing it with my hands, my heart, and my mind. And I bring healing miracles on a daily basis into my practice. I'm blessed to be able to boldly state what you truly do. Not everybody on the planet is capable of comprehending the great truth that sits inside the human heart, that guides it in the healing process. That the healing is from within, not from without. It's not that we have a deficiency of things on the outside, because there's nothing really deficient, everything is in order, but actually an awakening on the inside, the power inside

[9:40] that we stand for as a chiropractor. The second thing is versatility. The chiropractor that has the capacity to have versatility. The ability to go in there and be able to adapt to each one of the patients as they come. I made a comment last night in my speech last night that the definition of caring is the willingness to honor another individual enough to communicate your values in terms of theirs. So not only do we need to be boldly unique enough to share our message, but we must learn the art of sharing our message in terms of other people's values. If we are dealing with a person who is in sports, we must communicate the chiropractic message in terms of sports. If we are involved in a person who has children, we must learn to communicate the message

[10:28] in terms of children. Whatever their values are, we must master the art and care enough to communicate our values in terms of their values. And the versatility to be able to do that with each individual unique individual around us, each patient, each staff member. Whatever we do, the definition of caring is the communication and honoring another individual with the communication of our values in terms of theirs. Our message and our mission in terms of theirs. And the versatility of the genius is the one who can adapt with general adaptability, not species specialization, but general adaptability to people and to communicate in their world. In the process of doing that, they automatically end up birthing their genius, awakening their

[11:11] genius. So now we have, in a sense, the willingness to be boldly unique and to share their unique message, and the versatility to communicate that message individually in terms of other people's values. And that automatically awakens two aspects of the chiropractic genius. The third one is dominance in a field. Dominance in a field. You ask yourself on a daily basis, or affirm to yourself on a daily basis, that I am a master chiropractor. That's all said. I am a master chiropractor. If you're a CA, it's okay. You say, I'm a master chiropractic assistant. Let's all say it together. I am a master chiropractor. I am a master chiropractic assistant. I am a master healer. I have sacred healing in my blood and I have an inspired heart full of messages

[11:58] of healing. yourself and affirm to yourself and talk to yourself and auto-suggest to yourself exactly how you want to communicate to yourself because as the cells on the inside resonate with that message so do the people on the outside receive it. The non-verbal and verbal communications that we express inwardly and outwardly are part of the qualitative healing consciousness that Jim Parker had been stating for 40 something years. There is quantitative and qualitative. The master chiropractor, the genius, is one who is a master of both quantitative and qualitative expression of healing consciousness. Quantitatively, in the sense of the mastering and the skills of their art, with ever finer detail and also the communication skills from the heart of the message.

[12:40] The next one is the universality of vision. The universality of vision. The chiropractor. I've said before on this stage and other stages that if we want to make a difference in ourself, we must have a vision as big as our family. If we want to make a difference in our family, we must have a vision as big as our city. If we want to make a difference in our city, we must have a vision as big as our state. If we want to make a difference in our state, we must have a vision as big as our nation. If we want to have a difference in the nation, we must have a global vision. And if we want to make a global impact, if we want to be a global leader, we must have an astronomical vision. Plato 2,500 years ago taught his students astronomy not for the sake of learning just

[13:20] the movement of the heavens, not just for celestial mechanics, but to prepare the individual to have visions broad enough to make global impacts. To such a degree that the world seems like a small place that they can master. This is the master of chiropractic. This is the genius, the one who has universality of vision. The one who can see that everything around them is a reflection. That the laws that apply in chiropractic that are truths will apply not only in their lives but in the people that they touch. In the lives of the patients that they see. The lives of the staff. The lives of everyone that they contact. This is universality of vision. They're the ones that can stand on the shoulders of giants and see beyond.

[14:00] They're the chiropractors that can stand beyond and see all of a sudden in a bare piece of property, a bare piece of land, they can see a new clinic. They're the ones that can see people traveling and flying in and landing in airplanes to come see their clinic. They're the ones that can see the hotels built around them and the city completely built around their chiropractic clinic. They're the ones that can see that the president and all the leaders of the world and all the celebrities and all the people that make global impacts come to them for advice and leadership and healing consciousness. They're the ones that automatically inspire new students into chiropractic colleges because the real success of our profession is not just our financial success, not just our volume,

[14:38] but it's our volume of students that end up wanting to be like us. The ability to shine out and be a heroic individual enough to have other people want to be like you. That's the real success. Are you willing to have people, in a sense, duplicate a tree that bears fruit and shares nuts and seeds and allows other trees to be birthed. Plants give birth to seeds, they give birth to plants. All life forms duplicate themselves. Those that are in harmony with nature and those that grow and prosper in nature, they duplicate themselves. The master chiropractor and the genius that's been awakened in the chiropractor is such inspired that the people around them wanna be like them and they wanna join in

[15:15] on the chiropractic mission. In the process of doing it, this is the chiropractic versatility and universality of vision. The next one is that they have strength and they have energy. They realize that we only sabotage our source of energy when we deny the universal law. It was St. Augustine who said, the will of God is equilibrium. And every time the will of man matches the will of God, we are equilibrated. And every time we are equilibrated, we have vital energy. There is, in a sense, mechanism and there is vitalism. Mechanism is when we have, in a sense, an imbalanced or a disequilibrated perception on life and therefore a disequilibrated action in life. And we're sitting mechanistically in a mortal state.

[16:00] But the vitalism that's a soul, the spirit, that guides us, that directs us, that moves our atoms and moves our cells, this is awakened and inspired through equilibrated perception. That means we see the divine order, we see the perfection, we see the balance in life. The chiropractor that can see the balance is the one who can provide the balance. There's an old proverb that we say that they garbage in, garbage out in computers. But if we look at our life, if we see lopsided perceptions and see chaos and disease on the outside, we will participate. in the creation of it. But if we see a illuminated consciousness sitting in a human being, and we see them having the power to heal themselves, and we know that we're participating in that,

[16:38] and we see them as love, and we see them as whole, we will participate in their awakening of wholeness. This is the healing consciousness that the chiropractic profession stands on the shoulders of all other professions on, to hold that vision. This is the one that we're strength and energy surface. Strength and energy are a byproduct of clear I say that your vitality in life is directly proportionate to the vividness of your vision. Your vision is clouded by disequilibrated perceptions and disequilibrated actions. That's why D.D. Palmer said that excess and deficiency of function is disease. Excess and deficiency of function arises from excess and deficiency of perception. And excess and deficiency of perception is the denial of what the will of God was,

[17:20] which is equilibrium. When we see equilibrium, we have clarity of consciousness, We have clarity of mission, the soul guides us, our body doesn't interfere with us, and we have vital energy. We are vitalistic, not just mechanistic bodies. In this state, our vitalistic energy now soars out and impacts people with a radiance, literally a telepathic communicative energy source that literally impacts and draws and magnetizes the people that match us. Our innermost dominant thought magnetizes the people that match our thought. If we can therefore hold the universality of vision and see the clinic that we dream about we attract the people that naturally right fit that this is what Jim Parker was saying being one with the infinite oneness this is what Jim Parker

[17:59] was saying with being in the presence, when all of a sudden you attract naturally right people. Jim Parker's been teaching these great truths now for some 40 or so years and he's still expressing it through all of us and ourselves, memorarily, in some form or fashion because these are laws, these are universal principles. So the chiropractor who has awakened their genius and who is a master is the one who has awakened their intelligence and energy. We're designed to have vital energy. Once we recognize its source, our energy is infinite. of an infinite. It was Giordano Bruno from Italy there. I had the opportunity of about a year ago or so to sit as his statue, the footsteps of his statue, with just millions

[18:37] of rose petals underneath it when the church honored him as a genius. And I was sitting there years after they condemned him as a heretic. Many times the great geniuses in history were condemned while they were alive, but later they were immortalized. They saw what their genius was. And same in our chiropractic profession. Probably 500 years from now they'll probably say that that was the turning point in the human history of the healing consciousness. But all of a sudden this G. O. John O'Bruno was one who said that we lived in an infinite universe that had infinite consciousness, that had infinite beings and infinite worlds. He believed in an infinite principle, an omnipresent, an omni-intelligence. Chiropractic is based on that principle. It's based on

[19:13] a universal intelligence that permeates all life. It expresses itself through a human being in a body. It shows itself as a human innate intelligence And that innate intelligence, if we listen to it and we attune to it and we don't disequilibrate our perceptions, guides us and directs us with vital energy and strength. and that's when the immortal part of us awakens, the genius is born, and our birth, our creativity, our art, and our expression in such a way that no mortal can stop us. This is the genius that we do. We have to acknowledge that. The great geniuses that I've studied are the ones who are humble to divinity, therefore they have certainty to humanity. Humble to divinity, they have certainty to humanity.

[19:51] Great geniuses have an insatiable curiosity, an insatiable curiosity for knowing, An insatiable curiosity for growing. An insatiable curiosity for learning and mastering what they do. They want to learn everything the can about their profession. They will learn everything they can about other great chiropractors. They will learn everything they can about their patients so they can communicate in terms of their values. They will learn everything they can about the art and science of being present. They will learn everything they can about the ability to open their heart into love because they know these are the four cardinal pillars of healing consciousness. These are geniuses who are willing to have an insatiable curiosity to grow. As long as we're green,

[20:31] we're growing. As soon as we're ripe, we rot. We must have an insatiable curiosity to grow or otherwise we will plateau. We have a situation where we will automatically grow to the level of our vision. If our vision is shallow and limited, so will our practices be. When I see a practice that's plateaued, I know that the person who's running the practice has lost a vision or shallowed their vision or somehow not expanded it. Every day you must expand your vision. Every day you must humble and have... each day you must open up your mind and heart to such a degree that tears flow out of your consciousness and down your face with a vision that's expanding. In the process of doing it, that vitality will surge, creativity will be born,

[21:14] genius will be awakened, and all of a sudden your vision will move to another level. I am sure, if somebody asked me recently, said, John, how did you expand your vision and expand yourself across the world when you're speaking? And I said, I see the world in my hands, it's mine. I see that the whole world is my home. I move around in the room to room in the house. It is my vision to pee on every country on the earth. If you hold the vision of people coming and doing whatever it takes, and traveling whatever distance, and paying whatever price to get your services of the love, and you see people from around the world coming to you, then you will become a beacon of light and your practice will be a shining beacon for humanity and the world.

[21:50] But if you see yourself small and constricted, Nelson Medellas said, we don't serve the world by shrinking, we serve the world by shining. Have an insatiable curiosity for what you do. do. Make it a commitment that you will learn everything you can and master it. You learn from every teacher that you run across. You go and visit the doctors who are masters and you go and observe and you partake and you take a morsel here and a morsel there of what their wisdom is and their opportunities that they offer. Geniuses are people that have an unrelenting search for truth. An unrelenting search for truth. I say that Let the truth exist. There are many opinions that are transient, that change through time and space.

[22:30] But the truth exists and I believe the truth is love and I believe the truth is divine And I believe the truth sits in every single one of our hearts and our minds when it's disequilibrated Cloud and shut off the heart when we do we do not have healing consciousness. We shut our genius out We're living in a mortal state We're living in transientness as Deepak Chopra wisely said we're living in time fullness not timelessness When we're in time fullness, we are automatically aging We have ageless body and timeless mind when we have present time consciousness. I don't believe... You know, I was talking to Art Astin and his lovely, beautiful wife. And I looked at them and I came here almost 18 years ago to speak on this program.

[23:11] And I went to their program and last night I was astonished and I was amazed because I looked at them and they looked the same as when I met them 18 years ago. If anybody knows Art, you know what I'm talking about. They look the same. They still have the same radiance, the same beauty, and the same commitment to teaching young chiropractors how to become great leaders and great geniuses. And they're still sitting there, still sitting in a class, and 18 years ago we were in that class, weren't we? We were doing the same thing as we're doing today. I guess we haven't learned, have we? We just keep doing it. But the thing is, is they have agelessness because they have presence, because they have love, because

[23:42] they understand universality, they understand this versatility. They live it. I'm 6,000 years old in my spirit, maybe longer, maybe more, maybe a hundred thousand my body comes and goes

[24:03] that they have agelessness, healing consciousness. Their mortal body may gradually age when they're undergoing illusions, but their immortal spirit shines through their eyes, the windows of the soul, and looks at a patient and inspires them to do something great in their life. So we don't limit our expression of chiropractic to a physical expression. I believe that we awaken people spiritually. I believe a we awaken people mentally, in career, in their finances, in their family, in their social, in their physical. I believe healing consciousness permeates a all seven areas of life. And I believe if we humble ourselves to divinity, we will have certainty to direct humanity. And in the direction of humanity, we will awaken all seven areas of those lives.

[24:43] And people will come to us not just for aches and pains and cricks backs, but they'll come to us because any organism that does not see order will seek order. And all organisms will go to somebody who sees the order. And if you can see the order around you like the genius, then you will give the orders around you to the patients. And all life forms seek that order like all life forms seek the sun. And the sun has more order than the plants. And the planets seek the sun. And so in the process of doing it, we must be like the sun. We must give life to people. And if so, they will wake up every morning and think of us. When we have our innermost dominant thought, our patients, and the expression of innate intelligence through them,

[25:22] and their divine order through them, that it is impossible for them to wake up and not be inspired to see us. It's our mission to do so.

[0:00] Great geniuses test their knowledge. They test their knowledge. Thomas Edison had about 1,290 patents. Something of that number. Almost 1,200 and something patents. He tested his knowledge. He repeated it and tested it and rehearsed it and practiced it. And a master and a professional practices in between their performance. They test their knowledge. They test their learning. Last night I had the opportunity to listen to David Singer. And David Singer did a phenomenal presentation on doing a spinal final class or an educational class to enroll patients. And he must have gone over that class a thousand times. And rehearsed it and reminded it and just kept working on it.

[0:59] Refining that until it was perfect. In the process of doing it, the geniuses are the ones who are willing to test their experiences and test them until they are masterpieces. They keep refining it. It's like the difference between a sculptor and a master sculptor is one who continually refines it and polishes it until it's perfection. The master chiropractor, the genius that's awakened is the one who is willing to go in there and keep testing and refining and retesting and refining and retesting. I started when I was 17 years old and I wrote out my first mission statement with the help of Paul Bragg. 17 years old. I had been refining that. This morning I got up and I typed and I refined that mission statement.

[1:39] I had been refining that mission statement and refining my goals and my objectives, my 100 year plan since I was 17. Every day I read that. Every day I write in it. Every day I type and refine it. Because I want to make a masterpiece out of my life. A master chiropractor is one who consistently tests, gets feedback, positive negatives, support or challenge and takes their feedback and continually refines their mission. Refines their direction. Refines their art and their science and their philosophy and their skills. Until it is awakened in such perfection that the voice on the inside says that's it. Until it says yes. Until it knows and it's certain. And then no patient can give a rebuttal to a person who's certain.

[2:24] No patient, see I'm convinced that the patient's objections and the patient's distractions that you have and the patient's unwillingness to follow through is a reflection of our unclarity of our mission. Because when we're really crystal clear in our mission, we crystal clear in our expression. And the patients follow that order. They seek it. It's natural. They're looking for a hero. They're looking for a leader. They're looking for a master. Just like you. Just like me. Just like all people. Provide that and your patients will follow you. Great geniuses are willing to learn from both positive and negative experiences. that means it doesn't matter whether they're supported or challenged, they

[3:03] grow. I asked myself years ago, I ask many quality questions. I say the very viable to me, and that is every day you ask yourself, what is it I would absolutely love to do in my life? What is it I'd absolutely love to do in my? What is it I'd absolutely love to do? What is it that would inspire me? What is it I would absolutely love to do that would inspire me? I remember one time I wrote that down, and I wrote down the answer to that, and I said I would love to travel into the Himalayas. I'd I would love to go and see the great pyramids. I would love to go down and see the great wall.. I would like to meet some of the great leaders of the world. I would like to meet the great spiritual leaders of the world.

[3:49] Then I wrote down things that I would absolutely love to do. I would love to be able to walk into a room and put my hand and bring healing by the thousands. I would like to be able to be in such state of presence that I had people in tears and in mesmerization. I would love to have those and I wrote those dreams down. And I asked myself first the question, what is it one who knows from their soul and their heart what they would love and what they would love to express. And they're willing to dictate that and commit that to a piece. Because a paper, in a sense, is the first step in, in taking an action step, in making intangibles into realities. So what you do is, you basically, ask yourself, what is it I would absolutely love to do?

[4:43] The second thing that I found, because I believe we are designed to be rewarded in prosperous. You ask yourself, how do I finding out a way of prospering, doing what we love, we're basically honoring the universe by giving us a gift and talent, mission and destiny to be able to express it. And when Because any action we do, that we do not reward ourselves for, we will not continue to do it. We must learn the art of, in a sense, commercializing ourselves.

[5:57] Number three, as you write down the next one What are in front of her in this big chair. I asked her if there's anything you could advise Is there anything you can say every day that you write career today. And in the process of doing that, I stick to those priorities manifest, your practice of your. The next one is, what obstacles what obstacles might I run into and how Because see what What happens is sometimes we go out with a Pollyanna, optimistic viewpoint. We don't stop and take the time to think about the downsides. and then prepare a contingency plan for-s So when they come, we react instead of having a prepared plan in advance and know what they do when it happens, do when it happens and then act.

[8:04] So the master and the genius is one who acts, the neophyte is the one who reacts. And the master is guided by the soul with a clear vision because they've taken all the obstacles out by asking what are the obstacles and how to solve them. So when you ask yourself what are the highest body action steps and then what obstacles might I run into and how do I solve them. The next one is how can I do this more effectively and efficiently? How can I fulfill my mission or my objective more effectively and efficiently? More effectively and efficiently. Every day you want to ask yourself how to become more effective and efficient. Your self-worth is a divine expression of your, your efficiency and efficiency of the expression of your moral mission.

[8:42] If you are effectively and efficiently expressing your divinity you grow in self-worth and as you grow in self-worth the outer worth manifests around you because people want to partake in you and they want to share a fair exchange with you. The last one is how did, how did whatever happened to me today? Whether positive or negative served me? How did whatever happened to me? How did whatever happened to me, whether positive or negative served me? See the universe is in perfect order. There's a divine order. There's a divine design. Leibniz taught me that when I was 18. He said there's a divine beauty, divine magnificence and a divine perfection. There's an implicate order in the universe that's in a field, a boson field, a Higgs

[9:21] field around us. But man in his mortal thinking sometimes looks around at the fermion state and doesn't see that perfection. And therefore he basically erodes himself and decays himself and ages himself missing out on the magnificence. But the immortal, the genius is the one who sees beyond the illusion. They unveil the Isis veils and they go into the deeper mysteries of knowing and they see the implicate order of life. And they're the ones that know that whether they're supported or challenged they're gifted because support in a sense is in a sense a assimilative but challenge is accommodative. And when every time you get a challenge you grow. If you take a child and you support it, it becomes dependent and weakened.

[10:03] If you challenge it, it becomes independent and strong. So you know that when you're challenged in life that means that you are actually being strengthened. You are being expanded. You are being accommodative. You are being awakened. A genius is one who embraces the challenges on a daily basis, accepts the challenges and knows the challenges are the gifts of accomplishment. Some people say, I look forward to the gifts of reward of economics but the rewards are loaned relative to the price. If you're not willing to take on greater challenges, you're not willing to take on greater prices and therefore rewards. You ask yourself, what challenge am I hiding from and what challenge can I conquer? Every day the genius is one who takes their challenges and turns them into fuel and opportunity.

[10:46] They see that everything that happens is part of a divine order. Everything that happens is part of a mission. I have the opportunity of working with thousands of people, working with them and helping them reinvent their perceptions because as William James said at the turn of the century, that the greatest discovery of our generation as a human beings can alter their lives by altering their perceptions and attitudes of mind. We have the capacity to alter our perceptions and see the divine order and see the perfection and balance and equilibrium in life and therefore move to awaken ourselves or we can sit there and be caught in a victim mentality and consciousness where we see that somehow there's an imbalance between cause and effect.

[11:20] In the process of doing that, we sabotage ourselves and we see the imbalance and we awaken our genius and we see the balance. You ask yourself whether I am supporter or challenge, how does it serve me? No matter what happened, I was taught by a teacher when I was in chiropractic college, a great teacher, a great illuminated spiritual teacher. He said, you do not go to bed at night until you can say thank God for everything that happened that day. And anything that happened that day that you can't say thank you for, you're basically lying about the universe and. Every time you lie about the universe, you're putting baggage and aging on yourself and you're carrying weight around yourself. and the process of doing it, you in a sense, sabotage the fullness and potentiality that

[11:57] you have inside you, which is omnipotent. If we just open our hearts, I say when the will of man matches the will of God omnipotence is presence and immortality is at birth and genius is automatically awakened and carpeted healing consciousness is a gift. Inborn and inmate inside us and chiropractors are those individuals who have awakened their conscious enough to be ready for that truth. And we've been blessed in that respect. Not every profession on earth gets to have that as their philosophy and as their daily living experience. Next and great geniuses are willing to evolve and endure and they love to embrace. What they do is they basically endure whatever happens. They see their vision so clearly that no matter what happens to them, they go past

[12:42] it. They get up again like the child. When you think of a baby that wants to walk, you see it fall how many times? Hundreds of times possibly. But the child keeps holding the vision, I'm to walk. It's inborn. Just like language is expressed and it's inborn. I was reading about a young boy the other day that had six languages mastered, six languages before he was eight years old. Six languages. It was inborn inside him. I believe that we have in a sense an inborn as Chomsky says, an inborn language. I believe we have an inborn healing consciousness. All we have to do is awaken it. And the laws that awaken it is what I'm sharing with you. The laws that awaken it are the willingness to not deny that inside you.

[13:20] Not shrink that which is shining. Not hold back that which is liberating. But to hold it on to a vision that you hold. You know it says in biblical writings that those who have the vision, they grow and those that lose their vision, they perish. We must hold the vision and hold the vision broadly, not shilily. The genius is one who can understand the paradoxes. Each of you, all of us, have a duality inside us. A part of us that wants to be free and a part of us that wants to be constrained. Example, let's say you're married. There's a party that wants to be with them and have constraint and have control and be controlled and there's another party that wants some space and get away. In fact, the very lovemaking process, how many of you know what lovemaking is?

[14:05] How many of you heard of that? The very lovemaking process itself is times when you're attracted to them and you want to be with them and times when you want to be away from them. Close to them, away from them. And obviously, the speed in which you're able to see that these are balanced tells you how you ascend from the mortal to the immortal until you eventually say, oh God. The oscillate between the paradoxes is leave me alone, don't leave me. Leave me alone, don't leave me. Get out of my life, don't leave me. How many of you know this cycle? I can be better off by myself, don't leave me. I don't want to be without you. [inaudible]

[15:00] in quantum mechanics, but somewhere in in the center of that, the true being, not the personas the shadows, the the mass, but the true being [inaudible]

[15:26] in my earlier stages where I had such stinkinin' thinkin' and ingratitude attitude and such pitty parties and trauma dramas and I was in such a state where I did not want to see patients And I wanted to curl up in a fetal position and sit on the table myself. I have no idea if anybody here has ever had that experience. Put your hand up if you've ever had that experience. But I remember one time when I was in the attitude, I had 19 patients cancel one morning. And the universe, I believe that if you are present and you are in healing consciousness, the patients come to you.

[16:07] are on a vibrational scale and on this vibrational scale anybody beyond is when you're ready to vibrate and resonate telepathically you in a sense not locally cosmic AT&T system resonate and attract them into your practice. Your conscious is a field. This field in a sense permeates infinitely all other individuals that resonate on that field like our. It vibrates and hits another guitar. In the process of resonating and drawing to you that person that's naturally right

[17:34] present, and a person. It's impossible for them not to be healing. I believe that a chirop doctor can have such certainty that they go in there and abide by those laws that it's impossible for a patient to not walk out with. It does not matter what their symptoms are because we do not know what symptoms really are anyway. They may be just as much healing powers as they are in a sense disease. In fact I think that they are more of a healing expression than anything. we don't know whether symptoms supposed to be constructed or destructive we just know that it's the body's mechanism to adapt to its illusions and relationship to its life. And in the process of doing that I believe that all signs and symptoms are trying to

[18:09] teach the individual how to love, how to be aligned with this universal expression. So we are automatically aligned with that expression and we permeate that and are present with that. It's impossible.

[18:33] In Spanish it means grace. In French it means mercy. It is when the human will match divine will. When we see divine order we do not want to change things. We want to embrace things and say thank you for things. When we do not want to change and create in a sense a transformation of the disease but just see them as divine perfection people. It's impossible for them not to bring healing. But as long as we're trying to fix their disease we are caught in their illusion. And we're stuck in their same vibrational scale as them. And this is not what the chiropractic philosophy I believe was about originally. And I believe that that's the key and we hold it. It's our threshold of opportunity with it.

[19:10] Great geniuses are whole brain thinkers, balanced brains. They not only use their left brain for analysis and identification and to put together the parts inductively into wholes but they also once they put their master plan together they allow that divine design, that deductive part of their nature to express itself innately. They do all their homework and they learn all their techniques and they learn all their procedures and they learn all their principles and then what they do is they release it. And they allow the deductive part of them in the state of grace to reveal itself on where to go, what to adjust and what direction at what time. The master chiropractor when you ask them what did they just do they just know I don't know I just did it.

[19:45] They were just present. My teacher Paul Bragg many years ago said when you have your health you're not conscious of it. I say when a chiropractor is automatically in present and in tune and on target R.E.P. where. They're not even present. They're s. They're not even conscious of what's happening. They're just there. They don't know about time and space. When I know in my practice when I was mostly in the zone I noticed the day disappeared. Time disappeared. I didn't even notice time. I started in the morning and all of a sudden it's afternoon and I go what happened to it. Disappeared. Time disappeared. I was speaking in Houston Texas one time doing a seminar. We came back from lunch about 2 2 30 in the afternoon.

[20:21] I was speaking on something that was most inspiring to me. Some of the principles and laws of the universe are most inspiring to me. I spoke to 11 o'clock that night. And from all the way to 11 o'clock that night I didn't take a break. Nobody left the room. Nobody went to eat. Nobody said anything. Did anything or whatever. And we finished at 11 o'clock and went. What happened to it? Hm. We thought it was about 5 30 in the afternoon. And it disappeared. When you are present your patients lose track of space and time. They do not know how long they're with you. I was in the doctor's office up in Quebec. He saw lots of patients sometimes up to 15 to 17 hundred patients a week. When I asked the patients out in the reception room how long does the doctor's spend with you.

[21:05] They would say something like oh I don't know 5 or 10 minutes. He was within 30 seconds no more than a minute. But the patient's perception was 5 or 10 minutes. Because when they were in his presence they didn't have any idea about time and space. See the master chiropractor, the genius that's awakened, is the one who knows how to be present to such a degree that space and time dissolve. They say that in gratitude is a form of gravity that distorts the fabric of space time and torques it and leaves impressions on the consciousness of those we touch. But if we're in a state of presence, uncertainty, and love, and of gratitude, we are in a ACTIONS. We are in a state of being. And in that state of being the healing powers are within us

[21:44] and we have the healing powers radiating around us. That field of consciousness brings order to the water molecules, the cells, the atoms, and the subatomic particles of the individual and they bring birth healing powers within them. We are in a sense heaters in that state. The great geniuses are not only whole brain thinkers but they are universal students. Universal students. I looked 20 years ago when I got a hold of the Green Books by B.J. Palmer and I looked and I said, this man impacted chiropractic. Would you agree that B.J. had a major impact on this profession? You know, I was speaking many years ago in Los Angeles and I flew to Los Angeles from Texas and I was going to speak for Pete Fernandez

[22:29] who's a lovely gentleman who did practice consulting programs and he asked me to speak there and it was at the Sheraton La Reina Hotel in Los Angeles on Sheraton, I mean on Century Boulevard I believe. And I got there the night before I was to speak at 9 or 10 in the morning the next day and I got there that night and I went to have something to eat. I wanted a Caesar salad and some fish like I had last night. When I went into the restaurant, there was nobody in the restaurant but one gentleman sitting the table. I walked in and I'm the kind of guy that if there's somebody there by themselves I'm destined to introduce myself and meet with them. If I get on the elevator, if there's one person, I must talk to them.

[23:08] So I walked up to this gentleman and I asked him, I said, do you mind if I join you? And he goes, well, I guess not certainly. And I started talking to him and you know how you're naturally right, the right place, the right time to meet the right people. I believe that. I believe that I'm at the right place, the right time to meet the right people to make the right deal. Just like Donald Trump who uses that statement. And I was sitting there before this gentleman and we were talking and I asked him what he did and he says, he teaches. And I said, what do you teach? He said, Harvard University. And I said, fantastic. And he said, what do you teach? And I asked him that and he said, he said, philosophy.

[23:42] And he says, I love philosophy. I study philosophy. I'm constantly reading all the philosophers. And he said, oh really? And he says, and I'm a chiropractor and I'm here doing a professional speech tomorrow to a group of chiropractors on philosophy and to inspire them. He says, well, you probably know B.J. Palmer then. No, I never heard of the guy, no? I said, yeah, I've heard of B.J. Palmer. Absolutely. He says, oh, he's one of my favorite philosophers. I love him. And I said, tell me about that. He says, well, every year we have a segment at Harvard University in philosophy. We have a segment on the history of the philosophers that impacted healing. And what I did, he said, in my course is I went to Galen and I went to all the great teachers

[24:22] that did anatomy and physiology and philosophy and the heart and studies and things. And anybody that was involved in healing, that was a philosopher, I had a segment in my philosophy class and we taught about it. And B.J. Palmer was one of my favorites. He was voluminous. He wrote so much. And I loved and devoured his writings. And when I heard that, I got tears in my eyes. Because sometimes the people in our own profession don't even recognize genius. How many of you understand? So I thought to myself, what was the uniqueness about this genius? Here's a man that was a philosopher who studied religions of the world, who collected art from around the world, who had the largest art collection,

[25:03] had one of the largest knife collections, bone collections. He studied and he was an inventor. He was a technician. He was a mechanic. He was a radio, created radio involvement. He was also a mason. He was also a philosopher. He studied theology. He did numerous things. And this is what I find common to the genius. The genius is one who partakes in the logos in all the disciplines. They find the common universality of all disciplines. This is the thing as I was studying the history of Moses and going back into the Egyptian writings. And I found out that Moses had nine different studies. He was a geologist. He was an anthropologist that they called in those days. They didn't call it anthropology yet.

[25:45] But he was one who basically birthed and studied plants and animals and humans and psychology. He studied everything because he wanted to know how to communicate his message and his mission to move people. So the genius is one who has universality. B.J. Palmer had that. So I made a mission in my own life when I was earlier in my life when I was in Carpetit College to study theologies, to be universal, to be able to relate to anybody in any different walk of life, to the universal laws that are put in different semantics. And when you know those semantics, you can communicate those universal laws in any field. I can go and I can speak to a corporate America and I can talk about how to put the soul back into the corporate body

[26:24] and talk about universal intelligence and intelligence and they can relate to it once I use their language. I can talk to monasteries and communicate to young teachers and teach children and I can communicate the universal intelligence and their. and the chiropractors and the people's values and the people's value systems and the language that they relate to is the one that has the patience and the broadness and the expansion of their business. Learn that universality. Expand that versatility. Study as much as you can about life. Now there's a difference between educated and innate. Educated by itself is just studying. Fractured bits of information and gaining knowledge. But educated becomes future innate when it is integrated with universal truth.

[27:09] So if you study something and integrate it and align it with universal truth then it becomes in a sense your future innate. It now becomes your next innate. Your next expansion, your normal path. When you first started practicing and adjusting, your art of adjusting was a little bit educated. You had to think about it. You had to practice it. But after a while it became innate. Present educated is future innate when it's aligned with divine order. But present educated when it is not aligned in a sense becomes baggage that destroys innate expression. You learn the universality because when you study all the different bits and you see the common denominator you have certainty about what you study.

[27:45] And in that study you expand yourself with this intelligence. You align with this intelligence. It's the logos that drives us and rides us. Great geniuses are ones who reflect and self-assess through questioning. They assess themselves and self-reflect daily. They're constantly asking themselves what worked, what didn't work. What has worked, what didn't work. What do I do to refine and make myself more effective and efficient. They reflect on themselves and they do self-assessment. I was about 18 years old and I was going to Wharton. And as I was in Wharton I was studying in the library and I wanted to read all the great writings and books, [inaudible] and I had a desire to develop the library.

[28:24] And as I went through these books I came across Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's writings. These are actually personal writings that were translated into English. Some of his writings. And as I sat there I realized that he was a man that spent, I mean here's a great leader, you've all heard of Mahatma Gandhi, but here's a great leader who sat there and did self-analysis every single day. He did memoirs and he wrote about what he was thinking, what he was feeling, what he was eating, what he was doing, what was going on in his life. And he wanted to find out what worked and what didn't work on, on a daily basis. Every day you ask the question what worked and what didn't work today. And every time you find something that worked you put it on a checklist

[28:58] and you ask yourself, did I do that today? Because if you find something that worked and you check it off and you make it a checklist and you make yourself accountable you will grow. If you do not you'll make a habit out of doing the things that don't work. And you'll then sabotage your potential energy because you'll keep doing things that are not producing the results that you hold.

[0:00] Great geniuses dedicate their lives to integration. Integration between the parts of themselves and integration to the parts around them. They know that the world around them reflects the parts within them. So that means if you integrate all the parts inside you, you automatically draw the people around you. The people around you reflect the parts inside you. Anything you haven't loved around you represents something you haven't loved within you. Anything you haven't loved within you is not integrated. Anything around you that's reflecting that is automatically going to be something that's disintegrated. In the process of disintegration, you're going to set sabotage energy and potential.

[0:41] So you want to find out through every patient that comes to your office, everyone that pushes a button, you want to discover what that button is. Let me define what a button is. A button is anything that you have a lopsided perception about. An example, you're walking down the street, you're a young man, you see a beautiful woman, you see this thing that's very attractive. How many have ever done this? You walk down the street, you see this beautiful woman, they're very attractive to them, and all of a sudden you can't get them out of your mind. How many have been so infatuated with somebody and so attracted to somebody you could barely get them out of your mind? They consume space and time in your mind.

[1:16] And you're walking, you saw this thing, and they were magnificent. I was in Australia, we live in Australia part-time now, so it was in Australia at New Year's. And we were at the Versace Hotel, and we were having New Year's Day dinner at the hotel there. And in walks one of the Visc

[1:33] We'll sit out there, and one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life, and every single person, women included, stopped, forgot what they were doing, and watched this girl walk by. She was absolutely gorgeous. She was walking with a very handsome man, and it's just the most beautiful couple you've ever seen. Beauty has a power, doesn't it? I maybe know how beauty has a power, tremendous power. My wife and I are sitting there, and she's looking at this woman just as much as I, and she's looking at her hair, looking at her body, I mean, just checking this girl out. Absolutely mesmerized. Now, as she walked by, she had a perfume. So now we have the sense of smell, the sense of sight, and the desire for touch.

[2:10] How many of you know what I'm talking about? This absolutely beautiful girl goes by. Now, as I was talking to my wife, my wife is an absolutely beautiful woman. But without a doubt, my wife even humbled herself to this essence. This lady was very beautiful, very magnetic. As we walked by, it was hard to keep your mind focused on the conversation. In fact, while we were conversing, we forgot whatever that converse was. Because anything that you see more positive than negative to, and you don't see in a balanced perspective, and you're not aligning with divine will of equilibrium, you're automatically distracted by it, and it consumes you, and takes up space and time in your mind and runs you. Anything you have a lot of perception about runs your life.

[2:54] Now, I had to sit down and think, what are the drawbacks of this lady? And I was thinking about what she had to go through, and what probably the amount of people that admire her and the times consumed by that, and how much work and effort. My wife was saying, she must have to work out every day, and she must have to constantly watch what she eats, and she's constantly under a different constrained life to be that perfected. And I was thinking of all the drawbacks, and as I was thinking about all the drawbacks, all of a sudden her command and control over my consciousness diminished. And I was now present back in the room, right there at the dinner table. Because if you're infatuated with something, it runs you.

[3:32] Now, at the same time, if you saw somebody who was basically rowdy, or ugly, or maybe drunk, or something that was maybe screaming and hollering, and gross, and vomiting, and puking, and screaming, and taking off their clothes, or whoever, whatever it might be, that might offend you, then what happens? You have a resentment. You see more negatives than pauses. When you see more negatives than pauses, then they consume you with resentment, and they run your mind with resentment. How many of them are so resentful to somebody that they take up space and time in your mind and consume you? And they couldn't get them out of your mind. Most of my consulting, when I consult with chiropractors, is something they're infatuated with,

[4:05] or something they resent, that they're making in that state. One must know how to find the balance in all perception to master their life. The master chiropractor, if they have a patient they're infatuated with, or a patient they resent, they will run them, and not the patient running the doctor. They will know how to find the equilibration, and manage that patient, and not break policy, and stick to the policy, and run the patient. If not, the patient will run them, and they'll break. If they're infatuated, they'll go overboard, and they'll break their policy to go out of their way to help this person. If they're resentful, they won, they won't do any of the positives, and they'll be rejecting of them.

[4:55] And either of those run their practice. The master, the genius, is one who equilibrates their perceptions almost instantaneous. Lose them as the instantaneous recognition that all negatives and positives come in pairs. They understand that paradox, and they know that those are always in pairs. The genius is one that lets the world around them run them. The philosopher said, I'd rather have the whole world against me than my own soul. But you have the whole world against you when you have a lot of sight of perception. And you have the whole soul guiding you when you have equilibrated mind. Equilibrated mind is when human will and matches divine will, and we have divine expression. This is when, as Senegustine tried to teach in his city of God, he said,

[5:33] when man has perfectly equilibration, he sees divinity, and expresses divinity, and becomes divine. Leonardo da Vinci studied, and he was involved in. He wanted to understand divine expression. So he made sure that he saw divine proportions, symmetry, and he saw order in all his activities. When he did, he created masterpieces. Great geniuses recognize and appreciate the interconnectedness of all things. They know that no matter what happens to them, it serves their purpose. No matter what happens to them, it serves their purpose. No matter what happens, it serves their purpose. No matter what patient comes to you, it serves your purpose. No matter what happens, whatever the patient says, you look at it.

[6:12] How is it teaching you? What can you gain from it? Every night, before you go to bed, or before you leave your office, you make sure that anything that you can't say thank you for, you look back and you keep reviewing it until you can say thank you for it. Because every single thing that occurs in your office is serving you. And anything you think is a mistake is your lie, and any time you lie, you baggage and burden yourself, and you hold yourself back from your genius. Your awakening genius is automatically birthed when you see the divine order in every event. All events in space, time, are nothing more than divine messages to you to align with your soul, to direct yourself and guide yourself to live your full potential.

[6:47] And if you exceed that event as a victim mentality, instead of victory mentality, you will hold yourself back from this divine expression. In the process of allowing that inner voice to guide you, your patients will automatically live your inner voice. Whatever you have as an inner dominant thought becomes your outermost tangible reality. And your patients will express to their patients and their friends exactly what your dominant thought is. If you are referring to patients, the patients will refer to you.

[7:16] Great geniuses are what I call universal personalities. That means they can associate with anybody at any place. What that means is they not only associate with geniuses, but no matter who they are with, they can blend. They know how to adapt. I was sitting in Australia the other day, and I was meeting with this gentleman who owns a corporation called Mervat Corporation, who is the one that built the high rises that we live in. And this gentleman is part of your family. He just feels like a loving energy about him. Very masterful. Very masterful social person. When he meets you, he gets the right present with you. He asks you pertinent questions and draws out of you and builds a magnetism. You are drawn to this individual because of that.

[7:57] He has the ability to adapt to any personality. versa. He's able, he's able to talk about anything. Very visionary individual, broad perspective. The chiropractic genius is able to do that with his patients and her patients and is able to find out what their values and communicate right in their realities. If all of a sudden the person is sitting there and they love golf, they know how to communicate in terms of golf and be able to talk in terms of having to hold their swing, swing perfectly and make the holes in one, they're able to communicate in terms of their values, just like I said in the caring in the beginning. Now these are some of the principles of genius. The chiropractic genius is one though that

[8:31] clarifies their mission. I would sit in my office sometimes for maybe 30 minutes before I would start my day, and I would visualize exactly how I want in my practice. I recommend you get to your office a few minutes early, and visualize how you want your day. the patients coming in the way you want them. Visualize people. Visualize them telling people wherever they go. Visualizing them getting results. Visualizing them following through and getting their patient visit average exactly as you dream. Dr.

[9:10] I'm going to come and speak to their groups and their organizations, their church, their educational groups. You have to see the vision, and when you do, you manifest it in reality. I know that in 30 minutes in one day, you can sit down and you can visualize an entire day of every single patient down to their hair, their color, their smell, their looks, their voice, what they would say, their children's names, their family's names, what work they do. The more details, the master's one who focuses on every final detail, and the more details you have in the vision, the more details you manifest in your reality. The master genius is one who dominates their thought on their mission. They visualize it with every infinite final detail.

[9:49] They can articulate it so clearly that they can talk to themselves and they can talk to the individual that they're communicating with, so articulate that mission. And they feel it in their heart and they're exuding it in their energy and their enthusiasm. You have four magical feelings that cause magnetism, four magical feelings that draw a people to you. One is automatically gratitude. When you're grateful, people are drawn to you. When you're ungrateful, people want to love inspiration and enthusiasm. Gratitude is perfectly balanced perspective, which is grace. When you have grace, you automatically have your heart open with love. When your heart is open with love, your mind becomes clear and inspired.

[10:40] When you're mind becomes clear and inspired, your body becomes enthused with action. And you're accomplished with that action. When you're accomplished, you're grateful. When you're grateful, you get love. When you get love, you get inspired and it goes in a circle. These four cardinal feelings magnetize people to it. You put those with the four cardinal pillars of healing. Gratitude loves certainty and presence. Certainty and presence of the mind and gratitude and love of the heart and it is impossible to not have healing conscious comes to you. These are the essence of the great geniuses of chiropractic. These are the keys, the morsels that make people the greatness. They make them rise above the hood of the average person and shine in their practice.

How many of you are following along with me so far today? Can you relate to it? Can you see it in your own consciousness?

You know when I was a young teenager I had a very life-threatening experience, and when I had that life-threatening experience I was blessed because I believe that the deeper the crisis the greater the blessing. The deeper the crisis the greater the blessing. And I had a pretty deep crisis at the time and I received a great blessing from the time. And from that moment on, from the time I was 17, and got the opportunity to work with this great teacher I wanted to know what the essence of the healing was, I wanted to know what the great law of the universe were, I wanted to know how they relate to mind, body and spirit; I wanted to share and to teach and illuminate people with it; I wanted to do the same thing that that gentleman had done for me and that is to help another person find out their mission and go out and live it.

And I know inside of all of you is the teacher, the healer, and the philosopher or you wouldn't be in this room. I know somewhere down inside of you you have a desire to be able to just put your hands into your room where your patients are and be able to open your heart so right and so clear and hold those principles so strongly in your consciousness that there starts to have healing powers coming out of your hands and you watch the healing.

I know, I was talking to Jim Sigafoose one time and he said he was so inspired one day and so present one day, he forgot who he touched, he just walked in the room and he couldn't remember who he had been with and he just said, "You are blessed and you are healed," and they got up and they packed. He was so inspired, but that's true healing consciousness. I saw...I want to study healing, and I got to see if Benny...what's his name? Benny Hann or Benny Hinn who goes around and... he's a Christian healer, you've maybe seen him on television. I got to go to a Lakewood church in Houston, Texas because I wanted to see this man do his work, and I went there and it was 8,000 people cram packed into this church, cram packed. And I watched him sit at the front and he did this little prayer and he got in his kind of present state, what we call "present time conscious," and then he went around and he went across the room like this, 8,000 people and he put his hand across the room and as he put his hand across the room I watched thousands of people just fall into complete unconsciousness just across the room.

And I was sitting there bracing myself thinking "He's not going to get me." And I found myself on the floor laying there unconscious for a few minutes. I woke up with everybody else and I looked, and then he asked "How many of you feel somewhere in your consciousness or in your heart or in your body that you've had some sort of transformation or healing? If you do come forward and let's say a prayer."

Now I watched him, and even though he's a master hypnotist and even though he's basically a spiritually-awakened individual that way, I watched something miraculous and I thought, "That's efficiency." Maybe you don't understand, 8,000 in about three minutes, and I thought "That's a lot faster than I was doing."

So what I decided to do is I thought, "Wow that could be efficient but I bet I could beat that. I bet I could fly at 30,000 feet and I could be flying across America and I could fly over Los Angeles to Chicago and I could just go right this way in the plane." And I could imagine them all going out and unconscious as I go across them. Anyway that's when all of a sudden you found out about all the riots and all the...I'm just joking. That's me flying out.

No but I envision all of a sudden healing consciousness. I ask you to open up your hearts and minds to look at your vision and see what's inside for you. I would love to be able to have that power. I believe I have that power. I'd love to be able to express that power. I know somehow inside you you'd love to be able to walk in your office and be that present.

You know one thing I learned in my office that was very valuable to me is that if I shut my eyes and I close my lips and I didn't say a word and I walked in with a patient, and I did not say a word or open my eyes while I adjusted, I was amazed at how my hands went exactly to the right bone at the right time in the right manner with the right thrust in the right direction and it innately knew how to do it; and the bone, nine times out of ten adjusted itself before I got there.

The sign that you're mature present is when the bones adjust themselves before you make the thrust. When you're about to set up, they may move, that's when you're present, that's with time and space because now qualitative intent is overriding quantitative action. And that's where space and time are dissolved and actions are manifested. And so in that state I noticed when I was in that zone, when I was present, when I was grateful for the opportunity in chiropractic, grateful for the opportunity to do healing, grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with the universal laws and work with the power that made the body. When I was in that zone that's when miracles start happening.

Now in our lives, we scan through our lives, our awaken genius comes when we're grateful, as I've said; but imaging going through your life all the way to the time when you can remember, as far back in your life and childhood as you can. Imagine going back to age two, or three, or four, or five, and looking back at your life and thinking about it if there's anything in your life that you cannot say thank God for, thank you. Just know that that is in a sense putting a weight on your burden and on your shoulders.

I learned to find a blessing in every event. My mother as I was going to sleep one night, she said to me, I was about almost four years old... three years to four years old, she said, "Son, count your blessings." One of the reasons I wrote the book Count Your Blessings, but "...count your blessings son because those that are thankful and those that count their blessings receive more blessings to be grateful for, they receive many opportunities."

I find that some of the most amazing people on this planet are the ones who are appreciative, they're very grateful in their communications. But in my life, I scan my life and I believe that we live in a magnificent universe and I know that there are thousands of people out there on television and anything else that they're focusing on what's not working, focusing on the chaos, focusing on the problems, focusing on where it's not functioning. But I don't buy that, I believe there's an intricate order, I believe there's a divine design, I believe there's a divine perfection as ...would say, and it's our job to find it. We are reacting to life if we don't, we're acting through life if we do. So I ask you to go back in your life and any person that you have not said thank you for, you write them a thank you letter; any event that you cannot be thankful for you go back and you look at it and find out the blessings and how it's served your life until you do.

I look back in my life and I look back and I see the divine order to it. I see how it led me to where I am today, I don't see any mistakes. And every year I discover a few minutes fragments of my life that I went "Wow that was perfect too." I'll give you an example.

I was blessed when I was about four years old, I used to sneak out of my house, out the front window, I'd take the screen off and sneak out of the house and take a Corsica coffee, what do you call that...fruit cake can. Remember those red cans and those fruit cakes in it? I'd take those Corsica fruit cake cans, I'd take it out there with a piece of paper on it and I would sneak out to the front of the house under the lamp post just off to the side where the lamp post was, and I would look up where the moon was. And depending on what time the moon was out I would go out to the moon and I'd look at the moon and I would draw the moon. I was four years old. And I would draw the moon and shade in all the shades of the moon, the face of the moon, and depending on whether it was just a slither moon or it was just a full moon, it didn't matter, I would draw exactly the face of the moon every night that I could see the moon if it was a clear night.

And I would go out there and then I would tape them on my wall... the ceiling and on the wall so I could look at them. I'm four years old climbing on things and taping these all over the walls.

Now you probably think he's strange now, but I was strange then. My parents, I remember one time I was concerned they might catch me, but I looked one day and they were in the living room looking at me, watching me, they're wondering why I was out there drawing. They didn't stop me, they were just curious and wondering why I was drawing the moon. But I would draw the moon and I covered my entire room over about a two year period with pictures of the moon on all the walls from all the nights, the 28 asterisms, month after month after month and cover the moon when I was four years old.

Then when I was five years old then I had a great teacher named Mrs. Farmer, and Mrs. Farmer was sort of a conservative lady, was a classical teacher and being a left-handed child and was born with a foot in a brace...my hand was in a brace and I was left handed and they didn't like left-handers in those days, they considered it sinister and bad and evil, which I am. So what happens Ms. Farmer she noticed that I liked to draw with the girls, I liked to draw flowers and trees and create three-dimension and four-dimensional motion pictures, cause I was good in art in those days. So she didn't like me playing with the girls, she used to drag me over to where the boys were and sit me down with the boys and put a red and black Crayola in my hand and said, "You draw army and war, you're not into peace and flowers. You're a boy, not a girl." And the second she'd walk away I'd slide over where the girls were because for some reason, I don't know what it is, there's some sort of error in my development that I've been attracted to girls all my life. I don't know what it is.

But I was drawn to the girls and I would draw with them, and finally the teacher took me from the girls side and put me in the center of the room where I stand today on this stage, and put me in the center of the room and she said, "You are not a girl, and if you're not going to play with boys you're going to have to be in the center by yourself."

And I thank her because I realize that the Master, the Genius is the One who finds the equilibrium between the masculine and the feminine; the One that finds the equilibrium between the positive and negative; the One who's taken the middle path in a sense; the One that's not double-mindedness but single-mindedness; the One who's not oscillating with uncertainties but there present with love and certainty.

And so then when I got to first grade I get this incredible teacher named Mrs. McLaughlin who was stuck in the turkey stage of development, and she looked like a turkey, she had these hanging skin and she gobble gobbled and everything else. We used to giggle and laugh at her. And she saw me there one time and she knew I was having difficulty in reading and she put me in the regular reading class and the remedial reading class and then the dunce class. And finally she had a meeting with my parents and she said to my parents one day, she said, "I'm afraid your son will never read, write or communicate. He's got learning disabilities, he'll never go very far in life and never amount to anything."

Now that was magnificent because what that did is it create a crisis and a void that becomes the value and a blessing. See sometimes we're afraid of allowing our children to experience crisis, but I say that's what makes them somebody. You know it was Arnold Schwarzenegger that was on television being interviewed by Barbara Walters and she said to him, "What do you think of America? What do you think of the people in America? What do you think is the problem with America?"

He said, "It's they’re too easy," I don't know if I say it like him. He say, "Too easy, most of the people are pussies." He say, "They're too easy, their life is too easy. A difficult and challenging life makes character, makes somebody." So I appreciate this woman for doing exactly what she did to help me do what I do today, See some people will see that and become the victim, the wise person will see them as become victory. Whatever happens to you, it serves you.

Now I didn't see it is a blessing at the time but now I see back and I look back and I realize that that was a gift, she was trying to tell me, see from the very beginning of childhood your mission is outlined and your destiny is revealed to you but it takes you years before you see it. And all of a sudden you realize that you are not the one that chose chiropractic, you were ordained and called into the profession of healing with revealing consciousness and it was whispering to you on your shoulder one day, and it just took you a while to see it. Some see it early, some see it late but there is a mission there that was in your consciousness.

So I was told that I would never read, write or communicate, and so I ended up dropping out of school and I ended up going on my way and by the time I was 13 or 14 years old I'd left home. My family actually gave me a ride to the freeway and I...to this day they never really gave me their own reasons. But they gave me a ride to the freeway and I hitchhiked and I got an interesting story for you. I just updated the story last week, well I'll tell you why in just a second.

I hitchhiked out to the California to go surfing with my surfboard and I stopped in El Paso, Texas, and when I was in El Paso, Texas I met a bum on the street of El Paso, Texas. He's leaning on a lamppost as I was walking by after playing a trick on some cowboys, and in the process I came by this bum on the street, he was in the 70s almost, and as I came by and he started laughing, he'd heard what I'd done to the cowboys cause I played a trick on them, and all of a sudden he puts his arm on me and says, "Hey boy can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

And I said, "No sir."

He says, "Can I buy you a Coca Cola?"

I said, "Yes sir," and I'm walking with this bum now for a couple of blocks up to this malt shop to sit on these swivel chairs. And in this malt shop this bum asked me, he says, "Are you a runaway?"

And I said, "No, my parents gave me a ride to the freeway."

He says, "Did you drop out of school?"

I said, "Yes sir. I wasn't able to learn, I was having difficulty in school and I couldn't make it in school."

He says, "You're going surfing?"

I said, "Yes sir."

He says, "Are you through with your Coca Cola?"

And I said, "Yes sir."

He said, "Then come with me."

So I went with him and we walked two blocks and we went to the downtown El Paso Library. We walked into the library, walked to the double doors, I left my materials, my surfboard and backpack with this lady at the front, went into the library, went to the bookshelves, he sat me down at a table. He went on the bookshelves and brought back a couple books and set them on the table. This is a bum. And then he turned and he sat next to me, and he turned to me and said something to me that changed my life.

He said to me, "Sonny," he said, "I got two things I want to teach you, two things boy I want to teach you and I want you to promise me you'll never forget this. You promise me boy you'll never forget this. You don't ever forget this boy."

I said, "Yes sir."

He said, "Number One," he said, "...you don't ever judge a book by its cover boy. Don't ever judge a book by its cover."

And I said "Well yes sir."

He says, "Let me tell you why," he said, "I bet you think I'm a bum?"

And I said "Well yes sir."

And he said, "Let me tell you something young man, I'm one of the wealthiest men on this planet, I have all the money, I got cars, I got boats, I got planes, I got homes." He says "I got everything that money can buy," he said "but about a year ago somebody special in my life passed away and at that time I reflected on my life and I thought there's one thing that I don't want to leave this planet with without experiencing, and that's what it feels like to have nothing and be a bum on the street. So I decided to travel around America and go see the city as a bum so I could experience what it's like to have nothing." He says " So you boy, don't ever judge a book by its cover because it will fool you." And he said it was such clarity and with such beaming eyes and such presence that you didn't question him, you knew what he said was true.

And then he said, and he took my right hand and he sat it on top of those two books, and those two books were Aristotle and Plato, the two great minds, and as he put my hands on that book he said, "Young man," he said "...you learn how to read boy, you learn how to read," he says, "... because there's only two things they can't take away from you in this world," and he says, "...and that's your love and your wisdom." Philosophy.

"They can't take away your love and wisdom. They can take away your loved ones, they can take away your wealth; they can take away your possessions but they can never take away the destiny of your love and your wisdom. You gain love and you gain wisdom and you learn how to read and you gain great wisdom."

And I said, "Yes sir." And then he took me out and he said, "Don't you ever forget that boy."

And I said "No sir," and as you see I haven't forgotten that. And then he took me back on the road and he led me on my way to hitchhike back to California. And I had something new and amazing the other day occur, I was in Houston, Texas about a week ago, and as I was in Houston Texas I was eating at the Cheesecake Factory...how many have eaten at the Cheesecake Factory? Most of you I bet. And I went in the Cheesecake Factory and they had an hour wait, and I didn't want to wait an hour because I wanted to get back to my studies and back to my work in my office which is nearby there. So I went up to the bar, because sometimes you go to the bar real quick and get something to eat and get out of there. So I walked up to the bar, and when I walked up to the bar, there are people all gathered there and I was just standing waiting for somebody to get out of the bar so I could get a seat. And there's a lady sitting in a booth by herself, and something about this lady I was drawn to, I didn't know what it was but see I believe that I'm always at the right place at the right time to meet the right people to make the right deal, and I was sitting there and I started conversing with this woman and I said, "Is that salad good?" Because it is a kind of salad that it looked like I would like to get, and she said "It's extraordinary."

And I said "Are you sitting here in the booth by yourself?"

And she said "Yes."

Says "I'm really in a hurry, do you mind if some young man comes and sits next to you?"

And she said, "No, come and join me."

And I said "Great!" Because I wanted to hurry and order. And I went and got the guy to make the order and I got in there and sat next to her. We start conversing, we had a very great rapport, very instant, it was one of those knowing quick rapports with people. We started talking about how...what she did and what I did and how I got involved in it and I told her the story about being in El Paso and she started crying. And I started crying.

How many been so inspired and you just remembered something and you just got tears in your eyes? And we're both sitting and crying, and she reached out and she put her hand on me and she says, "That man was my great grandfather. I'm Natalie Hughes. That was Howard Hughes." And when I did that I've always wondered but now I've confirmed who that person was that touched my life.

I share it with you because it was an inspiration to put another piece of the jigsaw puzzle in my life But that's exactly what her great grandfather did, she's got stories and she sat and told me the night to almost 11:30 in the night, stories about their life and their family and what they've done and things that they would do in their life.

END

[0:00] So I believe that our life is magnificent. I believe that our life is blessed. I believe that no matter what happens in your life, you want to find out how it serves you. And you want to put the pieces back in the puzzle. Because anything you cannot be grateful for in the past becomes your obstacle in the future. And your baggage that weighs you down from your greatest liberation. See, I believe that everything that goes on in your life is trying to guide you to your mission. And in my situation, that was one of those magical moments. Now I have another friend, somebody who's connected to part of my past. I was also reflecting in my life not too long ago.

[0:42] And I remembered, I was thinking, how does that relate to my purpose? So you want to ask yourself, how does every single thing you do and everything you've done in your past, how does it relate to your healing power today? Your magical chiropractic mission today? As I was going back, I remember one time I had this girlfriend. When I was five years old, I had this girlfriend. Her name was Martha Rose Scartozzi. She was a beautiful brunette, kind of wavy, long, brown hair. She was the fastest reader in the class and I was a dunce. You know how polarities attract? How many of you know what I'm talking about? You marry your disowned parts. Whatever you condemn in yourself or don't own in yourself, you tend to keep attracting until you learn to love it. The purpose

[1:21] of a relationship has nothing to do with happiness. It's about finding the person that represents the part you haven't loved and marrying it until you learn to love it. Isn't that the truth? So what happened is I had Martha Rose Scartozzi. And Martha Rose Scartozzi was the brightest girl in the class. She was the fastest reader. I couldn't read. I was the dunce. And we were attracted. But my ego was so squashed and so insecure that I did not want her to know that I could not read. So I used to pretend and fake reading in front of her. I saw on the Twilight Zone, how many of you remember the Twilight Zone? I saw this guy in the Twilight Zone that would go and he would speed read and his head got bigger and bigger and bigger. How many of you remember that one?

[1:58] The head got bigger and bigger and bigger and the skull kept growing and the brain kept growing and eventually he'd just go into a room and he'd scan the whole room and he would pick up the entire library and he'd know it all. And I thought, cool. So when I was with Martha Rose I was too embarrassed to show that I couldn't read so I used to just pretend like I was speed reading. And then I'd ask her, where did she get out of the book? So I would know. But I used to go to Martha Rose Scartozzi's house after school and walk her home. I guess I was an Italian romantic when I was a child. And I used to walk her home. And when I'd get home, I would stay at her home until her mother came home at 5 o'clock from work. I wasn't supposed to be there. Because

[2:38] my mom and her mom worked. I wasn't supposed to be there, but I just had this attraction. It is something I still haven't been able to resolve in my life, but I was attracted to this beautiful woman. In the process of doing this, one day her mother came home and I was caught. And I didn't know where to go because I was in the garage and I knew she was about to pull into the garage. And so I ran in the house, ran out the back door, ran over the fence. And when I hopped the fence, I caught it on the fence. My hand caught the bomb on the top. And I have a scar from here all the way to here still with me today from running from Arthur Rose Scartozzi's mom. Now, why am I saying that very simply? I ran out into the field, into this abandoned field out there.

[3:16] I didn't know where it was going. I was reading through it, running through this grass, it was taller than me. And all of a sudden I came to some trees and there was a hobo camp. A bunch of bums sleeping and talking and, you know, chatting. A bunch of bums sitting there near the road and they were hitchhikers and they were bums. In those days they called them hobos. And I sat, I came across them and I was frightened and they said, hey, hey, Sonny, and they started a conversation. I sat down there and they were teaching me. So when I look back at my life, I realize some of the greatest teachers I had were the least likely sources. And I realize today, I travel somewhere between 350 and 500,000 miles a year traveling and

[3:58] speaking. I speak about 300 days a year. I dedicate my life to studying universal laws and sharing those with people. And since I almost died, I gave my life to that. But in the process of doing that, I realized that those were also my teachers trying to teach me how to travel on the road. The bum was trying to teach me to gain love and wisdom. Paul Bragg was trying to teach me about genius. He gave me an affirmation, I'm a genius and I apply my wisdom. I came and I looked through my life and all my mentors were trying to teach me. And in your life, whoever you meet is your mentor. The genius is one who recognizes geniuses in everyone they meet. They recognize divinity in the people no matter who they meet.

[4:38] The other night, I was sitting at the bar when I was just about to meet this lady, Natalie. The guy who was sitting at the bar whose seat I wanted was this little Indian fella, this kind of guru Indian looking fella, had this narrow outfit on. Now, I was hoping he would hurry up and get out but he didn't leave. And then about four nights later, I'm going to this Italian restaurant and I walk up there and they say, well, we got about a 10-minute wait if you just go to the bar and you wait. And I sit at the bar and that same guy is sitting there. I turned to him and I said to him, weren't you at the Cheesecake Factory a few nights ago? And he said, yeah, I hang out there frequently. I said, you were sitting in the seat that I was desiring just like you are right

[5:15] now. And he says, that's not unlikely. He spoke in Indian language and not unlikely. And he says, I have something for you. He turned to me and he says, I have something from you, for you. I said, what's that? said it is a golden dollar and he hands me a golden dollar and he puts it in my hand and says this is for you you have the gold and then he pulls out of his pocket he hands me something else and he says he says here's a pamphlet on a seminar on consciousness I have a feeling this is for you I don't know who this is for but I think it's for you and he gave me this pamphlet on speakers and a convention that's on consciousness and I said I don't I don't believe there's any mistakes. I believe that there's perfect synchronicity, as Carl Jung says.

[6:01] The chiropractic genius is one that recognizes the magnificence, the synchronicity, the perfection in every event, in every person, place, thing, idea, and event in their life. Now, to the degree that we don't, we age ourselves. To the degree that we do, we enlighten ourselves. Our job is to shine, not to shrink. Our job is to be immortal, not mortal. Do you know that we get up every morning and every area of our life, all seven areas of our life, we're divinely attempting to express our immortality. I believe we have a soul. I look and I've been studying physics and quantum physics and mathematics and sciences and 230 different allergies for 30 years now almost. And the process of doing it, I am convinced, I am beyond wondering, I am certain and I am convinced

[6:45] That you have an immortal, undying, ever-present, inspired being governing your physiology and your life. And it is absolutely, amazingly ingenious, absolutely, amazingly brilliant, amazingly powerful. It has omnipresent capacities if we just open our heart and allow the inner voice to guide it and direct it and our inner vision to align it. And I believe that we have that capacity, and it's our destiny to awaken that. It's our destiny to acknowledge it. It's our destiny not to shroud it, but to awaken it. And every time we deny that and we go around in our not appreciating our life, see I said when we love what we do, it takes us to do what we love. When we love our life as it is, it unfolds to what we love.

[7:35] It unfolds in what's our capacity. We birth our immortality by appreciating our mortality. appreciate our genius when we appreciate our experiences and so in our life the chiropractor must take every single patient my advice and go back from the very beginning of your office and write a thank-you letter and every patient you can't say thank you you look again until you can say thank you what did they teach you what did they teach you and whatever you think about and think about you will bring about and if you focus and you concentrate on those patients and you see them and you say to them your love and appreciation and you care and you communicate in that in their value system it's impossible for them not to be a patient. Impossible. I just came back a few days ago

[8:16] from doing a program that I do called Master Planning for Life. And Master Planning for Life is where I take my students for three solid days and they sit down and they divinely design their life. They sit down in all seven areas of their life and they write out exactly how they want their life to be. Exactly what they're inspired to create in your life. Now I ask you as chiropractors to go inside your heart and with pieces of paper or pencils or possibly with a computer to define the practice dreams that you hold in your heart. So many of us are sitting there trying to be somebody we're not, trying to live somebody else's dreams that we're not honoring our own. See, I realized when I first came here maybe 18 years ago and to speak, I actually started comparing

[9:01] myself to other speakers and I thought, well, oh, I'd like to do that. Oh, I'd like to be that. I like to do this. And I realized what Emerson said. Envy is ignorance and imitation is suicide. Envy is ignorance and imitation is suicide. Each of us here have a set of values, a hierarchy of values, a unique set of values. No two people can have the same. According to those values, we will live our lives and our destiny is dictated. Honoring those values is the secret of life. Some people say to me, they say, well, I would like to have a thousand patients a week. Why can't I have a thousand patients a week? And they're not realizing that they're already successful, because according to their values,

[9:37] they spend time with their children, or they spend time at their school, or they end up doing something in sports, or they have other values that are higher than a thousand people a week. You are just as successful fulfilling your values as any other chiropractor on this earth, but you've got to honor your value system, whatever that may be. Now that doesn't mean that you can't use other people to reflect, to discover what's important to you and what's inspiring to you and maybe use them as a mentor to And maybe use them as a mentor to awaken you, talents that you don't know and you haven't discovered yet. But the key is to identifying your values and honoring and not trying to live somebody else's.

[10:12] You know, sometimes people get around me and they say, I'd like to do like you. And I said, I hope you don't because if you do, you will be not you, you'll be me. I want you to go and discover what's unique to you. I want you to find out what's inspiring to you and do that. Not be somebody else, but be you. The master is one who focuses on every finer detail on their master plan and lives out according to their values, their destiny, their heart. If that means a practice in the middle of nowhere and having an airstrip and having thousands of patients coming from around the world to it, then let that be it. But if that means being a coach on a baseball team for your three children, and that means seeing 60 patients a day, and it doesn't mean a thousand patients a week,

[10:53] but 60 patients a day in a good living, in a beautiful home, and having a fine family and doing that, then contributing to your social powers in your neighborhood

[11:03] God that's a divinely ordained pathway. And you want to honor your values and you want to honor your pathway and not negate yourself in comparison to anybody else. We are not to be greater or lesser than somebody else in that respect. We're just to discover what's inside our soul and obey it. Now what we use as other people to awaken that soul, but we do not want to compare ourselves to those people that way. When somebody asked me, who is your competition, John, I said, I don't know. Because I can look at all the competition, all the people who do something similar, but when I am on mission, there is no competition. When I am on mission, how can somebody compete with me because I am Dr. Demartini?

[11:40] I can only be in competition when I'm trying to be them, and they are already better at being them than I am. Although I had seen somebody who's a hired actor who actually did a duplication in pantomime of me that did a better job than me than me. Jokingly. But the point is that you want to be you. You want to awaken you. And the way you do it is to be grateful for your life. You cannot be the maximum you until you can be grateful for all of the components that made you up. Anywhere in your life you can't say thank you for sabotages your potential at being you. But you want to define it. And that master planning program, the purpose of it was to help people define and sit down and take the time that

[12:17] that they never get around to doing. How many of you know, you say, oh, I'd like to get around to doing something like that, but you keep putting it off, and you don't ever sit down and map out your life? Most people plan their vacation more than their life. It's time to plan your life. It's time to sit down and go on exactly how you would love to have your practice. When I moved to my high-rise office years ago, I said, I want to practice a certain number of hours with a certain number of patients and a certain number of dollar values in a certain way, in a certain fashion, and then I mapped it out, and I looked at how I could do it and how many people to have to contact in order to get certain new patients

[12:45] and exactly what I would say, I mapped the whole thing out and I saw the masterpiece in my mind. Then I was able to translate it into reality. The genius and the masters want to take that in for finer detail and put it into reality and it's from their soul and their heart, not somebody else's. So we do live in a magnificent universe. You know, the more I explore it, I look at it and I see this quantum field out there, this universal intelligent field. It permeates the galaxies. The more I study astronomy, the more I see this intelligence running it. And then the more I study the astronomy and I look inside the planets and I look at the order of the planets and I see the life that's there and I look at where

[13:20] we have on this solar system, this life, I say, thank God, we are the blessed ones. Across the universe, there are billions and billions of galaxies. And of those billions of galaxies, there's billions of star systems. One galaxy, the Milky Way, they believe has a trillion stars. And of those trillion stars, there's millions of them that potentially that can have life. But we know for sure at least one and we are there. And we consider that that is worth saying thank you for. When you think about that. How rare and how precious an opportunity to be one of jillions of stars that we are now existing on. We are now having a thing called chiropractic on. That's an opportunity.

[0:00] I was sitting there on the floor when I was 18 years old. And I locked myself in my room and I was studying because I dedicated my life to studying and mastering the art of speaking and understanding and reading and learning. And when I went in there and I locked myself in the room and I started studying the laws of the universe. My professor, my uncle who was a professor, sent me two giant crates to help me study philosophy and art and sciences and religions of the world. And as I was sitting there I came across Godfrey Wilhelm Leibniz. This great philosopher and this great theologian and astronomer and mathematician who built the calculus and wrote the calculus.

[0:44] And he was sitting there in his book Discourse on Metaphysics. And I was reading at the first page which I just got through reading again the other day. And I was reading it and he said that there is a divine perfection. A divine magnificence, a divine beauty. In his Science of Monodology he said that the whole universe is filled with substance and parts. And all the parts themselves have the whole universe within. In his mathematics he found between zero and one had an infinite number of fractions. So therefore the infinity within the infinity. Then every part had the infinite whole. The infinite oneness. That's what Jim Parker was saying that we have within us the infinite oneness access. And so we sat there and I was reading Leibniz and I sat there with tears.

[1:30] If you've ever sat and read a great writing that you know is written from the heart that now is awaking the heart it's impossible to not read that with tears pouring down your face. And I sat there and tears were running down my face. And I made a commitment to myself as I read that. I said I will do whatever I can the rest of my life to find the science of the assisting people and finding the divine order. That divine magnificence. The cosmologists today said there's an implicate order in the universe. The greatest minds have known that. And the greatest minds of the future will declare that. We have that in our profession when you think about it. We have it called innate intelligence. The power of the heels.

[2:12] The power that made the body. Every decade I see more scientists, more physiologist, more biologists acknowledging that intelligence. I just think that we are just so far ahead of the time that some people can't comprehend it. May we hold the vision long enough. I basically sat out and I updated my mission statement at that moment when I came out of that experience. And I made a commitment in that process to dedicate my life to finding that divine order and finding a science to awaken it. As I opened and it evolved my mission statement I realized that was the cornerstone of my drive. See everybody here has a drive in their life. Everybody has something that they're going to do that's great. How many of you feel that you have destiny for something great?

[2:54] But the thing is that some of us are frightened by fears and guilt and they sabotage them. But we have to keep our mind ecorrobedded. We have to keep the divine order, we must fill our minds with that We must fill our minds with the great wisdom in order to have that wisdom shine through us and keep that philosophy at the forefront I made a commitment to three hours a day. I would study the great laws of the. At least 18 to 20 hours. I'll study those was and I know that if I apply those laws in my life I will give those laws in the future in life Because I know it was an Einstein that said my contempt for authority made me one He saw that some people are not willing to follow divine law He said God does not play

[3:32] play dice for the universe and he said there is a divine order he says his life life is dedicated and only man when he doesn't see that thinks there See the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in life is simply people have not recognized that higher level of order They have not figured the mathematics out yet but they said they will and then the things that If I were cast into thinkers disorder and thinkers disease, it would discover as part of a divine perfection to awaken man to healing and love and to awaken into his full potential. It is not a disorder. It is actually something guided. It is actually something guiding. And so in our lives if we wake up to that we have the healing genius waking inside us.

[4:06] We have to be aware of that order. So I sat there on that floor and I cried and I made that commitment to myself. And I have been focusing on that now for 28, 29 years. That mission. And I basically go around and I share that with people like you today. And I basically saw when I was 17 a vision of standing up before millions of people to do that very thing. In my life I have been blessed to watch my mission come true. Watch the fulfillment of that come true. Watch the mission of my practice. Watch the mission of my teaching expand. Watch that happen. I watch that universal law display itself in daily actions. I encourage the geniuses that are now waking in the room here. To every day you humble yourself to divinity so you can be certain to humanity.

[4:49] If you humble yourself to divinity on a daily basis as B.J, Palmer did. If you have been to his house in Iowa you will know he had a little secret meditation in prayer room. He used to go over to that prayer room and he would talk to Anate. And Anate would guide him in that prayer room and he would sit there in meditation and humbleness to divinity so we would have certainty to humanity. When his certainty far exceeded the average chiropractors at the time and the MDs and all the osteopaths and all other health professions. And therefore his immortal could not be stopped by their mortal. Because those who have an immortal vision can never be stopped by mortal people. They cannot be stopped because the power of omnipotence is far greater than the power of just some part.

[5:25] And so in our lives we must attune to that immortal part, that inspired part daily. Partake of that. Read something inspiring. Write something inspiring. Think about inspiring patience. Think about what you are grateful for. Open up the heart. Allow that part of you to run your life. It is impossible not to borrow the great practice. It is impossible to have a mediocre practice with that state of consciousness. If you can't wait to see them because you are inspired to be with them and you are inspired to share with them that message and that mission. It is impossible for them not to go out and tell everybody they know about you. It is impossible. I still think that is the greatest healing art. I still think that is the greatest marketing art that there is.

[6:03] No greater marketing technology can be more than that. Because if you are present that is when it happens. That is the magic. Whatever it might be, that is the magic. When I wrote my mission statement back, I was with Paul Bragg when I was 17. And I would like to read to you something. This is the 40 second updated rendition of my mission statement. Some people come up to me and say, John, where do you get the energy to do what you do? Where do you get the drive to go day after day after day every single day to do your work and your reading and your teaching and your traveling and your things? And I say that if you are not allowed into that part and you write what is inspiring to you and you tune in and tap into that inspiring part of you every day.

[6:42] That you don't notice space and time and you have vital energy. You have a vitalism. There is a vitalism. No matter what atheistic, humanistic, existentialist scientist say, there is a vitalistic spiritual element inside of a human being. And it governs and directs them and it guides them to do greatness and it makes healing consciousness. It makes the average chiropractor, the genius and the master. So I have my mission statement and I read that every day. I've been reading it now for 29 years. And I ask you to do the same. So don't just write a mission statement that sounds neat to your patients. Write a mission statement that comes out of your soul and your heart that brings you tears. And you go, God bless, that's what I'm here for. That's what I'm about.

[7:21] That's what I'm dedicated to. And you write it and when you do, I guarantee you go into your practice tomorrow. The next day you will be different and you won't be able to stop yourself because you're tuned in. That's what makes the difference. That's what makes the genius. I started this in 1973. I say, and this is the updated version obviously, God has given me a life mission. I want everybody to say, I have a life mission. I want you to say it louder. I have a life mission. I'm a chiropractor. I have healing consciousness. I have genius in my heart. I have healing powers in my hands. I am dedicating my life to that mission. It is impossible for me to walk into a room without having healing miracles.

[8:16] That's what you want to say to yourself every day. You want to hold that. I've said now, God has given me a life mission. He has continued to stimulate and motivate me through illuminated visions and hearings and callings and has kept inspiring me to succeed. So God, myself, and all of you and all others, I hereby declare my mission. My life's primary mission is to research, which I do every single day, understand and write and unveil what I call the hidden mysteries. You know why the hidden mysteries? It's because most people are living so superficially that they don't go to the deep structure of the divine order in their life. And they go around as victims and they don't go down inside the core of their being and see the divine magnificence.

[8:58] As Leibniz said, it's the few who do. And those who do, their lives are changed forever. And it's impossible to be around them without having your lives changed forever when you're around people like that. To study the mysteries. I call them the mysteries. It was William James and it was Emerson who said, it was the mysteries that linked man to God. It was the mysteries that left them on the cutting edge of knowing and the unknowing. That was beyond the faith, constant belief into the levels of certainty. My life's primary purpose is to research, understand, write and unveil the hidden mysteries and principles of life's greatest secrets and truths. I want to dedicate myself to what was the secret and the truth.

[9:37] Because the truth has never been in the hands of the masses. The masses are still looking for a pill for every year. They're still looking from the outside in. The master is the one who knows it's from within. They know that it's above down inside out. They know that it's the immortal through the mortal, not the mortal to the immortal. They know that. To achieve true and master of myself through the fulfillment of my love-fulfilling essence. I believe that inside me, the truth of me is love. I've worked with thousands of parents working with children and I found out that deep inside every single parent loves their children and every single child loves its parent. The essence of the person is love and light.

[10:17] The biophysiology, the genetics, the actual self-physiology, you are actually permeated with light. The truth of your essence is love and light. But when we miss out on the truth and the essence, we look in the superficial. I dedicate my life to the secret, truth and the mysteries of that essence. That's the healing consciousness. That is the essence of the chiropractor. That's the genius that's inside that's born and waiting for it to be awakened. To teach and exemplify these truths before God and others. Worldwide, I didn't see myself working in a backyard of some small town. I saw myself touching the globe. I saw myself studying astronomy and seeing myself in space. The other day, sitting on my desk is my entrance when I attempted to be an astronaut at NASA.

[10:58] About 15 years ago, I attempted to be in the special missions projects at NASA. I got rejected. They said I was over-qualified and under-qualified and unspecified. I know what that means. What it really means is I couldn't file orders. I'd probably go up in space and go my own direction. But I saw myself astronomically because I would love to take my seminar, my ideas and my message out into space and not just speak in a local environment to speak globally, internationally, completely visually across the globe at one time. Globally, completely globally. To help myself, my mate, my family and others unconditionally love. Unconditionally means I love you just like the child and the parent loves each other.

[11:39] Just like the parents love the child. So I've seen children that have gone and done all kinds of crazy things but inside the soul of the parent they still love them. Imagine if we had that kind of love with our patients. Imagine if we had that kind of love for chiropractic. Imagine if we had that kind of love for our mission. To uncondition love and be thankful for the divine order, the magnificence and the perfection of God's universe. I've basically dedicated my life to finding that order and being thankful for that order and applying that order, seeing that order. Thereby fulfilling my mission and destiny as a wise and inspired messenger. Because I believe that everybody who's got a mission has a message and I believe we're messengers.

[12:13] I believe if we don't go out there and share a message of chiropractic, then what happens is that which is not inspiring to you becomes chiropractic. If you do not like the way my message is, I hope that you have more inspiration and message than me. Because otherwise I will lead that. You must go inside and share your message in chiropractic. You make it a point not to go to bed at night until you have impacted more than five people or more than ten people or some some number of people. Do not go to bed. Get up again from bed and go out there and you introduce yourself to three people and tell them about the message. Somehow. That's the way I do. I just go up and start talking to people at restaurants, elevators.

[12:48] It doesn't matter. I get on the elevator today with a lady who works in the hotel. She's involved in the big rolling winners. Whoever they're winning, basically she tries to satisfy their needs or whatever. I don't know what that means. But I was lying and I immediately cornered her and I talked to her and I talked to her and anything else and started a conversation.

[13:16] an impact that just lasts while I'm alive. I want to leave an impact that lasts beyond my destiny, beyond my time. Jim Parker is.

[13:30] And in the process of doing that, if I had my cane and my cigar and a love concept, he still had it because he listen to his immortal soul and left an immortal message. The love concept, faith, constant belief in your product, service and ideas. Love lavishly, he in gave all these principles and those still stand in the hearts and souls of chiropractors across the nation. listen to their awakened genius or the ones that leave their mortal effect. I would like to be the ones. [inaudible]

[14:24] I'm to master the ability to overvalue, the lesser and to undervalue the greater, the greater, not get infatuated resentful to things, to stay and to discover the hidden cemetery and proportion in order of.

[14:54] there is evil in the world. I said anywhere you perceive evil is where you deny divinity. and over and over and over and over and over about that story. And I realized that everything, that you that you need to learn about life, you can learn from Noah's Ark. Number Remember, we're all in the, same boat. Number three, of course, plan ahead Remember, it was bright and sunny when Noah built the ark. Stay fit. . When you're six hundred years old, somebody may ask you to do something, important. Don't listen to critics. Get on with the job and get it done. Build your future on high ground. We were meant to travel in pairs. It was meant that way. Space isn't everything. The snails were on board with the

[16:17] float a while. Remember the ark was built by matures and the the Titanic was built by professionals. No matter how bad the storm, there is always a rainbow waiting. There is always a rainbow waiting.

[16:46] So as I close today, I'd like you to remember the message, not the messenger. Remember that the natural laws that are responsible for your success are the same laws that are responsible for the health of your patients. 13 inner success principles. This was Jim's Core. What I want you to do is take them home. [inaudible]

[17:21] and you'll do it very, very soon. Thank you very. Thank you.

[17:35] You're a great audience. Thank you. Have a great seminar. Audio Services provided by Planet Chiropractic. www.planetchiropractic.com
