The Hidden Power, and Other Papers upon Mental Science (eBook)

Thomas Troward (1847–1916) was an influential figure in the New Thought movement and a pioneer in mental science. A retired Divisional Judge from British-administered India, Troward's interest in the philosophical and psychological implications of the law led to a profound exploration of metaphysical concepts. In his seminal work, 'The Hidden Power, and Other Papers upon Mental Science', Troward presents an intricate examination of the power of the human mind, and how personal attitudes can tap into universal laws to manifest outcomes in the material world. His literary style is characterized by logical argumentation and a keen analytical approach, which reflects his legal background and Enlightenment-influenced rationality. Troward's influence extended beyond his writings, impacting the works of later New Thought authors and thinkers, such as Ernest Holmes, who acknowledged Troward's contributions to the understanding of mental laws as pivotal to the Science of Mind philosophy. Troward's exploration of the conscious and subconscious facets of the mind continues to resonate with readers interested in the intersections of spirituality, psychology, and personal development.
