I started a collection of texts from old osteopathic journals that could be of interest to osteopaths and people curious about osteopathy.

Old as time, true as god

Cause and effect as law, are just the same; a thousand years shows no rust. Each day the “man of God” has added to his power heavier drafts of knowledge, and of the kind that is useful – a kind that will dilate or contract, and eject all unfounded or useless words or teachings.

I have said the “man of God” because he cannot be anything else and possess an existence. His existence in form is the effect of life; the cause antedates him by mind and deed. His construction and action in completeness prove conclusively that thought and cause preceded his coming. He is the effect, and debtor to cause. If he is the result of cause and cause is eternal, and effect also, why not say the life of man is eternal?

With no conclusive evidence that his existence is as old as his life, or spirit, his cause was produced by the cause commonly known as life. Cause has no beginning, then by cause and being of cause, he is eternal; and as such is bound to pass all the mile posts of going eternity, as he has those of the past.
