Function of the Educated Mind
The expression of Innate Intelligence through the educated brain has functions to perform that are quite as essential and important in their way as are the functions produced by the expression of Innate Intelligence through the innate brain. Here is an illustration of what is meant: Innate Intelligence sends mental impulses to the liver and produces bile independent of educated brain. But if a man is walking across the street and falls to the ground unconscious he will be mutilated by traffic unless some one picks him up and protects him. Innate is still in the body of the unconscious man, but is not being expressed through the educated brain. The Innate is powerless to protect that body from harm—it requires the expression of an Innate Intelligence through the educated brain of some other person to bring about an adaptation to circumstances and protect the unconscious man. In this case the educated mind of one individual is substituted for that of the other and the desired end is accomplished. This educated function could not be expressed in the unconscious man because of the inability of Innate Intelligence to be functioning through the educated brain.
The functions of the educated mind as pertaining to the expression of life in the body have to do mostly with the environment. It is, therefore, within the scope of Chiropractic to study the environmental conditions in order that the best interests of Innate Intelligence in the expression of life in the body be protected.
