Since it is universal it is common to every locality. Therefore, it is in anything and everything that is in the same locality. In the beginning it created matter; it did not, then, abandon matter but creates or unfolds thoughts for its every moment. This solicitude maintains matter in existence. The physical "properties" which matter has, are but force (energy) continually given to it by intelligence. In a like manner, the quality that matter is said to possess, is what intelligence is giving it. Life ,as chiropractic sees it, is a quality or character that matter may have, occasioned by the presence of, or attention of intelligence, having continuation or duration, involving time. No lesser agency than Universal Intelligence can prevent any of these things but the perfect expression of intelligence, according to what man wants, may be prevented by limitations of matter. Even this is a universal law and is a phase of the Universal Cycle.

   Life is a combination of intelligence, force, and matter. Matter makes up the material universe- intelligence is the immaterial universe, and force is what binds them together. We perceive force as forms of energy.

   Matter is that which fills space and its function is to express force. It does not fill all space, but there is no limit to the places you may find it. You may travel in space for an unlimited time, and no matter how far you got, you would find material. The amount of it is infinite. "Infinite" means having no limit- no boundaries. "Universal" means everywhere- common to every locality. Therefore, being infinite and everywhere, we use the term Universe. If you subtract from the material universe, any amount you wish to name- no matter how large- it would not diminish the total amount. That is what infinity means.

   The immaterial Universe is the intelligence that made all this. It, too, is everywhere, and therefore it is in all matter. It created everything, so it must have "known how" infinitely, and is all-wise. It is stronger than the strongest thing it made; and older, for it was there first. It is omnipotent, and unlimited. It fills all time, space, and distance.

   The definitions of Chiropractic give it plenty of latitude in the realm of things universal. Therefore we are able to go back to the most fundamental principle of all; to "get our backs against the wall," so to speak, and know that we are starting at the beginning. To question this fundamental is to be like the child who turns a picture over to see it from the back, or asks who made God.
