作者: T. Troward

Thomas Troward (1847–1916) was an influential figure in the New Thought movement, which merged metaphysical concepts with Christian tenets. Troward was born in Punjab, India, and educated in England, where he developed a deep interest in metaphysics after a career in the Indian Civil Service. Troward”s writing emphasizes the power of mental focus and spiritual laws in personal and societal development. His philosophical approach is often regarded as a synthesis of Eastern and Western thought, a granular exploration of the human potential through a spiritual lens. His seminal work, “The Creative Process in the Individual”, delves into the mechanics by which individuals can harness universal law to manifest their desires and shape their reality. This text, much like his other works such as “The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science” and “The Law and the Word”, has made a substantial impact on the ideology and practices of the New Thought movement. Troward”s literary style is pedagogical yet thought-provoking, seeking to unpack complex metaphysical principles for the lay reader while maintaining a scholarly tone. His influence extends to the realms of positive thinking and the self-help genre, where his emphasis on the connection between thought and material circumstances continues to resonate.
