Week Four: Philosophy - Innate vs Educated

A lot of people don't like Dr Dill because different reasons, but I like him. I feel that he talks from a view that isn't brained washed with the bay area and chiropractic. What I mean by that is that when you go to grad school everyone starts to talk the same and believe in the same things. If you were going to become a dentist, then they would say that they were in the best profession in the world. Well, so do all the other schools.

This week he talked about a few things that really struck me. We have been talking about innate intelligence/brain/body vs educated brain and body. Basically as I see it (and I may be wrong),
innate intelligence is the light of Christ;
innate brain is your spirit;
innate body would be your autonomic system aka heart rate, digestion, etc;
educated brain is your higher consciousness (voluntary actions and thoughts);
educated body is your physical body listening to both innate body and educated brain for instruction.

As it's explained, innate intelligence is a portion of universal intelligence (power of God) and is in constant communication to your innate brain (spirit). Your innate brain uses your nervous system to talk to your innate body (autonomic system and educated brain (conscious thought). Your body both innate and educated are also in constant contact with your innate brain.

We'll explain this using three examples.

Example one: heart beat.
Innate Intelligence tells your innate brain that it needs to beat the heart at a certain speed. Innate brain then will send a message to innate body to beat the heart. All we can see is that there is an electrical impulse from the brain to the heart, but can never tell what the information is that is stored within that impulse.

Example two: flexing of the bicep.
Innate Intelligence tells your innate brain that it wants to flex the bicep. Innate brain then tells educated brain that it wants to flex the bicep. Educated brain then sends the message through the nervous system to tell educated body to flex the bicep which it does flawlessly.

Example three: touching sensation.
When you touch something with your hand, educated body is sending impulses to educated mind that it's being activated. Educated brain then is able to interpret the impulse as hot or cold, hard or soft, etc. Your hand didn't "feel" the difference. It just applied pressure somewhere. Your brain actually made the connection what it was that you were feeling.
